진심을 가려 교묘히
마주한 시선에 멈칫
서로를 읽을 수 없는 우리
마치 낯선 별에 뚝 떨어진 듯한 느낌
잡힐 듯 멀어 넌 어떤 맘을 숨긴 거니
Baby, baby, baby, babe 눈앞에 있지만 oh
복잡한 너의 공식 헤매고 마는 나
빈칸 속에 의밀 더 알고 싶어져
한 걸음 거릴 좁혀 너에게 다가가
네가 던진 물음표
1과 0 사이 (사이)
Uh uh uh uh honest
Uh uh uh uh honest, honest
1과 0 사이 (사이)
Uh uh uh uh honest
Uh uh uh uh honest, honest
널 알려줘
보일 듯 살며시 비친
마음 속 투명한 글씨
결국 네게 닿는 힌트
하나라도 난 놓칠 수 없지
너무 다른 우리 물과 기름 같이
그래서 더 좋은 거니
니 낯선 표정 하나까지
Baby, baby, baby, babe 손에 쥔 두 조각 oh
Baby, baby, baby, babe 너와 날 맞춰가 ooh
복잡한 너의 공식 헤매고 마는 나
빈칸 속에 의밀 더 알고 싶어져
한 걸음 거릴 좁혀
너에게 다가가 네가 던진 물음표
1과 0 사이 (사이)
1과 0 사이 (사이)
널 알려줘
Uh uh uh uh honest
Uh uh uh uh honest, honest
1과 0 사이
Uh uh uh uh honest
Uh uh uh uh honest, honest
지금 너는 어디쯤인지
내겐 어려운 답 널 구해 오늘도
네 마음에 숨긴 한 마디
내가 맞다면 baby 이 순간은 honest
Key’s song “Honest” describes the difficulties of communication between two people who are struggling to understand each other’s true feelings. The lyrics use a metaphor to describe the distance between the two people as being like two stars in the sky, unable to connect with each other. The song expresses a sense of frustration and confusion, as the two people try to read each other’s minds but ultimately feel like they are missing something. The lyrics call for honesty and transparency in order to bridge the gap between them.
The chorus of “Honest” repeats the phrase “1과 0 사이,” which means “between 1 and 0.” This phrase can be interpreted as a metaphor for the space between truth and lies, or the grey area between two extremes. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the sense of ambiguity and uncertainty in the relationship.
Overall, “Honest” is a melancholic yet hopeful song about the challenges of communication and the importance of honesty and transparency in building relationships.
