Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
조금씩 천천히 옅어져 가는 너와 나 oh
서로를 탓하기 다급했던 밑바닥 뒤엔 corner
아무리 반복해도 놓기엔 아득했던
You and me (you and me) 지독했던 only one (one)
타는 듯 깊이 퍼져가
(씁쓸히 맴돌아, 날 취하게 하듯이)
Oh, I, I
I gotta run away (away)
지겨웠던 우릴 멈춘 너와 날 위해 (위해)
그 이별을 견딘 만큼
Say goodbye, gotta go 비어버린
투명한 시간들 사이
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
Yeah
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
텅 빈 니 모습들 사이
But I can live without you
달콤한 잔향 속 (잔향 속)
가벼운 현기증이 오른 night (오른 night)
I can't deny the truth ('ny the truth)
어느새 맥없이 웃음이 나 (yeah)
습관처럼 또 다그치던 너와 난 뻔한 mirror
떨치고 뒤돌아도 결국엔 들이켜 널
더 깊이 퍼져가
I gotta run away (away)
지겨웠던 우릴 멈춘 너와 날 위해 (위해)
그 이별을 견딘 만큼
Say goodbye, gotta go 비어버린
투명한 시간들 사이
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
Yeah
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
텅 빈 니 모습들 사이
But I can live without you
하나둘
널 비워 가
조금씩 힘이 빠져 가
I gotta run away (away)
갈구하듯 맘을 다툰 너와 날 위해 (위해)
들이켰던 애증만큼
Say goodbye, gotta go 놓아버린
꽤 독한 기억들 사이
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
Yeah
But I can live without you
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
텅 빈 내 모습을 봐
But I can live without you
The lyrics of Key's song "Live Without You" delve into the process of letting go and moving on from a toxic relationship. The opening lines talk about memories fading away without a trace, symbolizing the gradual dissolution of the bond between the singer and their partner. The blame game and desperation that once characterized their relationship now seem distant, emphasizing the difficulty of holding on to something that has become unbearable for both parties. The repetition of "You and me" and "only one" highlights the intense and suffocating nature of their connection, which ultimately proved to be unsustainable.
The imagery of emotions spreading like fire and intoxicating the singer suggests the overwhelming and all-consuming nature of the breakup. Despite the pain and bitterness that accompany the separation, the singer acknowledges the need to run away from the stagnant and tiresome situation for the sake of both themselves and their partner. The references to feeling lightheaded and the presence of a bittersweet scent create a dreamlike atmosphere, emphasizing the surreal experience of coming to terms with the truth of the relationship and finding the strength to walk away.
As the singer reflects on the routine and predictable nature of their interactions, likened to a mirrored reflection, they realize that no matter how much they try to distance themselves, they keep getting pulled back in. The repetition of the phrase "I gotta run away" encapsulates the internal struggle and determination to break free from the cycle of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. The decision to confront and endure the pain of the breakup is depicted as a necessary step towards liberation and a fresh start.
The song concludes with a sense of empowerment and resilience as the singer declares their ability to live without their partner. The gradual process of emptying themselves of the memories and feelings tied to the relationship is depicted as draining yet liberating. The repetition of "But I can live without you" serves as a mantra of self-reassurance and affirmation of their newfound independence and self-reliance. The acknowledgment of the harsh memories and the courage to release the lingering attachment signify the singer's readiness to embrace a future without the weight of the past relationship holding them back.
