My Only Comfort
Jae Joong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
짝을 잃고
내 손가락에만 남겨져
슬픔이 또 울고
비가 왔으면 좋을 것 같아
내 눈물 감추게
울고 울고 또 울고
슬픈 노랫소리가
주저앉아버린 내 심장을
멈추게 할 것 같아
떠나지 않는 사랑의 영혼이
나를 또 붙잡아
울고 울고 또 울고
사랑 사랑 날 버리고 간 사랑
사랑 사랑 기억과 추억 속에 살아
이미 넌 나의 영혼인걸
어떻게 살아야 너 없는데
나도 모르게 시켜놓은
니 커피한잔도
내 맘 같지않게 식어버린
너처럼 차가워
이미 어긋난 사랑의 퍼즐을 또 맞추려
울고 울고 또 울고
사랑해 사랑해
날 버리고 간 사랑도
사랑해 사랑해
기억과 추억 속에 살아도
이미 넌 나의 영혼인걸
어떻게 살아야 너 없는데
오 내사랑 이야 넌 어디에
오 내 사랑이야 영원히
The lyrics of Jae Joong's song "나만의 위로" (My Own Comfort) delve deeply into the themes of lost love, heartbreak, and lingering memories. The song opens with an image of a ring that was meant for a loved one but now lies alone on the singer's finger, symbolizing abandonment and the sense of incompleteness after a separation. This poignant metaphor sets the tone for the feelings of sadness and nostalgia that permeate the lyrics. The desire for rain represents a longing for an external manifestation of internal sorrow; the rain would allow the singer's tears to remain hidden, indicating a struggle to cope with overwhelming emotions. The recurring phrase "울고 울고 또 울고" (crying and crying again) paints a vivid picture of relentless grief that washes over the singer, emphasizing the depth of sorrow and the sense of loss that is so profound it seems inescapable.
As the song progresses, it describes how sad music plays into the singer's ears, further intensifying their emotional turmoil. This music acts as a conduit for their pain, suggesting that art can reflect and even amplify personal experiences of heartbreak. The heart, now immobilized by grief, feels entrapped by the spirit of love that refuses to depart, evoking a sense of struggle against the haunting presence of memories. The singer is stuck in a cycle of lamenting a love that has left them, yet the very essence of that love remains. The juxtaposition of joy found in love and the sorrow in its absence creates an evocative contrast, making clear that while love may be gone, its impact lingers heavily in the heart.
The lyrics further capture the complexity of love by admitting to the idea that even as the person they loved has left, the love itself continues to reside within their soul. The desperate question, "어떻게 살아야 너 없는데" (How can I live without you), speaks to an identity that has been intertwined with the loved one, indicating that their absence has created a void that is difficult to fill. This connection implies an understanding that love is not just a fleeting emotion but rather an integral part of one's being. The mention of a cold cup of coffee suggests that the small, everyday reminders of the loved one are now tinged with loss, further enhancing the feeling of emptiness that permeates through the song.
Ultimately, the refrain conveys a deep sense of longing and acceptance. The repetition of "사랑해 사랑해" (I love you, I love you) serves as both an affirmation of that love and a resignation to the fact of separation—a bittersweet acknowledgment that memories and legacies of past relationships can continue to exist, even in sorrow. The closing lines echo a yearning for the lost love to return, solidifying the profound impact that this relationship has had on the singer's identity and emotional state. Jae Joong’s poignant lyrics speak to the universal experience of love's absence, making it a powerful anthem for anyone grappling with the memories of relationships that have profoundly shaped their lives.

음색그대로구나...롹해서, 특유의 떨림있는 깊고 부드러운 음색이 탁해졌을까 엄청 걱정했는데, 재중아 부디 멀리 멀리 멀리서 지금처럼 빛나줘.
