All the lies
Jang Jane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
가득히 퍼져나온 꽃내음
이제는 나를 봐요 조금씩
손을 뻗어봐도
붙잡을 수 없어
닿을 수가 없어
달빛 아래 나는
그만해 당신을 향한 나의 거짓말
주체할 수 없는 내 허영들이
이곳에 가득히 퍼져나와
숨이 막혀오네
붙잡을 수 없어
벗어날 수도 없어
어둠 속에 나는
초라한 모습으로
붙잡을 수 없어
벗어날 수도 없어
어둠 속에 나는
초라한 모습으로
충분해 당신을 향한 나의
The lyrics to Jang Jane's song, "All the Lies," represent the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of lies and self-deception. The opening lines depict the image of a beautiful flower with a pleasant aroma that has filled the surroundings. However, the following lines suggest that the singer is unable to hold onto or reach such beauty. The lyrics convey a sense of self-doubt and insecurity as the singer wishes to be seen by someone they love, but they doubt that this person will reciprocate such feelings.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges their own lies to themselves and to the person they love. The words "그만해 당신을 향한 나의 거짓말" translate to "Stop it, my lies to you." The lines that follow suggest that the singer's self-indulgence and ego have caused them to lie continually, and this becomes overwhelming, making it hard for them to breathe. The repetition of "붙잡을 수 없어 벗어날 수도 없어" (I can't hold onto or let go of) highlights the paradoxical nature of the singer's situation. They are unable to move on from their misplaced feelings and can't hold onto the person they love at the same time.
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the singer's sentiments about themselves - that they are in a dark space where they are unable to escape. The lyrics provide a stark and raw commentary about the complexities of love, lies, and self-deception.
