KNK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
친구로만 지내던 니가 가끔 여자로 보여
걷는 내내 난 너의 손잡고 싶어서
눈치만 보면 안절부절하는 내 마음 아니
술기운 빌려서라도
네게 말하고 싶어
니가 날 어떻게 생각하는지
모르지만 조금 용기 낼게
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니
널 사랑하면 안되겠니
친구 사이 끝일지 모르겠지만
대답해줘 내게
창가에 기대어 앉아
가만히 니 얼굴 떠올려
너보고 싶다고
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니
널 사랑하면 안되겠니
친구 사이 끝일지 모르겠지만
대답해줘
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니
널 사랑하면 안되겠니
늦은 저녁
널 바래다주는 것도 좋지만
이 밤 너와 지새고 싶어
너의 집 앞에 마주 앉아서
니 눈을 바라봤을 때
니 입술이 떼는 첫 마디가
난 조마조마해
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니
널 사랑하면 안되겠니
친구 사이 끝일지 모르겠지만
대답해줘
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니
널 사랑하면 안되겠니
늦은 저녁
널 바래다주는 것도 좋지만
이 밤 너와 지새고 싶어
The lyrics of KNK's "Closer" talks about the complicated relationship between two friends who are slowly seeing each other in a different light. The singer candidly confesses his feelings to his friend, who he now sees as a woman he's attracted to, and asks for an honest answer. He talks about how he wants to hold her hand while walking and how he's afraid to reveal his true feelings because he doesn't know how she sees him.
The verses show the singer's inner conflict, yet his determination to confess his feelings despite his fear of ruining their friendship. He also talks about how he wants to spend the night with her, looking at her face and hearing her voice, and how she makes him feel nervous and anxious just by being in her presence.
The chorus is straightforward, where the singer asks his friend to see him as a man, to love him in return, and to give him an honest answer, even if it means the end of their friendship. Overall, "Closer" is a song that explores the complexity of romantic relationships, especially when it involves close friends.

바람 불어와 이 밤을 거닐 때면
When the wind blows and I walk through this night,
친구로만 지내던 니가 가끔 여자로 보여
You, who I only saw as a friend, sometimes look like a girl
걷는 내내 난 너의 손잡고 싶어서
As I walk, I want to hold your hand
눈치만 보면 안절부절하는 내 마음 아니
My heart isn't indecisive just because I'm cautious
술기운 빌려서라도 네게 말하고 싶어
Even if I have to borrow courage from alcohol, I want to tell you how I feel
니가 날 어떻게 생각하는지 모르지만 조금 용기 낼게
I don't know how you think of me, but I'll gather a little bit of courage anyway
창가에 기대어 앉아 가만히 니 얼굴 떠올려 너보고 싶다고
Leaning against the window, I sit and think about your face, and say that I miss you
날 남자로 봐주면 안되겠니 널 사랑하면 안되겠니 친구 사이 끝일지 모르겠지만 대답해줘 내게
Can't you see me as a man? Can't I love you? I don't know if we'll end up just being friends, but please answer me
늦은 저녁 널 바래다주는 것도 좋지만 이 밤 너와 지새고 싶어 너의 집 앞에 마주 앉아서
It's nice to drive you home on a late evening, but tonight, I want to spend it with you, sitting across from your house
니 눈을 바라봤을 때 니 입술이 떼는 첫 마디가 난 조마조마해
When I look into your eyes and wait for your first word, my heart pounds
