Jakes & Max Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

이대로 곁에 있어 줘
그렇게 잠시라도
입속을 맴도는 내 텅 빈 희망이
천천히 사라져 갈 때까지

마음속에 내려앉아
스며드는 너처럼
옷깃을 파고들어 아픈 이 눈과 함께

너를 털어 내

언젠가 너를 잊고 말 거야
우리가 나누었던 수많은 얘기들도
시간을 견디면 전부 사라질 모든 것
다 없던 일처럼

나의 눈앞에 풀어헤쳐 진
너의 마지막 한숨
이별의 말인 걸 잘 알고 있지만
그마저 달아서 난 눈물이 나

마음속에 자리 잡아 괴롭히게 될까 봐
우리를 이어붙일 어떤 얘기조차도 할 수 없겠지

언젠가 너를 잊고 말 거야
우리가 나누었던 수많은 얘기들도
시간을 견디고 나면 사라질 테니까
다 없던 일처럼

나를 걸어 사랑한
너를 너를 너를 너를 보내

이제

우리가 나누었던 수많은 얘기들도
시간을 견뎌내면 사라질 모든 것

다 없던 일처럼
다 없던 일처럼

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jakes & Max's song, "Time," captures the feeling of a heart-wrenching breakup. In the first verse, the singer is asking their love to stay by their side, even if it's just for a moment, as they watch their hope slowly disappear. The singer then reflects on how the memories of the relationship have become a part of their heart, and they compare it to how their love has become a part of their being. The painful memories, like a coat collar that chafes at their skin, are something they have to let go of to move on from the breakup.

The chorus expresses the inevitability of moving on from the relationship despite the shared memories. Eventually, the singer will forget their love and every conversation shared. They acknowledge how time has a way of erasing every emotion and memory, no matter how important and permanent they once felt. The second verse continues to detail the fear of holding onto any thoughts of their ex, scared that they'll continue to torment them despite any stories or memories tying them together. The bridge of the song reminisces on the last breath shared between the couple, knowing it was goodbye and refusing to accept it until tears start to fall.

Overall, the song reflects on the power time has in healing heartbreak and moving on from the people we once loved.
