Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so lonely, lonely, lonely
까만 어둠 속 더 선명히 보여
Are you okay? Okay? Okay?
날카로운 빗줄기마저 전형적이야
이 선을 넘은 순간 보일 your mind
어지러이 가린 maybe so excited
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
가려 둔 너의 yellow tape
너머를 상상해
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
나를 망칠 너를 새긴 밤
좀 더 깊이 날 이끌어가
찢겨버린 장면들 속에 널 맞이하는 순간
I can't breathe without you
(Breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
I know 달라 분명 뭔가
동요해 little time
놀라는 그 틈 타
네게로 네게로
일그러진 red light
틈을 파고들어 난
그림자도 미처 몰라
All night long
요란한 소음이 점차 잦아들어 가
고요함 속을 지나 네게로 가
미세한 이 떨림 분명 more excited
짜릿할수록 더 재촉해 나를 come in
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
가려 둔 너의 yellow tape
너머를 상상해
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
멀리 숨은 널 한껏 들이쉬어
(Breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
내 안에서 넌 스며드는 걸
(Breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
섬찟한 이 느낌 come in
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
선명히 빛난 yellow tape
어느새 낚아채
I can't breathe (breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)
쉴 새 없이 쫓고 쫓긴 밤
깊이 잠긴 끝을 본 순간
잡힐 듯이 빠져나가는 널
기꺼이 한 번 더
I can't breathe without you
(Breathe in, breathe out)
(Breathe in, breathe out)

You're seeping into me
섬찟한 이 느낌 come in
Embrace this tingling feeling, come in
선명히 빛난 yellow tape
The brightly shining yellow tape
어느새 낚아채
Suddenly caught
쉴 새 없이 쫓고 쫓긴 밤
A night of endless pursuit and being chased
깊이 잠긴 끝을 본 순간
The moment I saw the deeply hidden end
잡힐 듯이 빠져나가는 널
You, slipping away as if caught
기꺼이 한 번 더
Willingly, one more time
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
(Breathe in, breathe out)
(Inhale, exhale)
