Bird
Kim Namjoo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

눈을 떠 나의 뭔가
부서지는 듯한 기분에
숨을 쉬어 거기 뭔가
불러지는 듯한 이름에

그래 맞아 나 널 찾아가야지
꺼지던 불씨 다시 키워봐야지
떠났던 너 죽어도 잡아야지
잊은 날개를 꺼내

어두웠던 새벽을 넘어
기다렸던 태양을 보면
너의 모습이 낭떠러지래도
주저하지 않고 날 던져
걱정하지 마 날아오를걸
Because one, two, third, I'm a bird

Birdie birdie ya, I'm a bird
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
푸른색의 불을 지펴 fire
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
I'm gonna be free like a bird

반짝임에 가둬진 real me
아름다운 어깨 위 blue wings
작은 얼굴 감겨진 눈빛 like eagle

조명을 벗기고 날개를 흔들어
내 사랑엔 뭣도 따라올 필요 없는걸
바람에 휩쓸려도 시선은 안 흔들려
가고픈 대로

멀어지던 아침을 잡아
기대했던 하늘을 보면
너의 모습이 낭떠러지래도
주저하지 않고 날 던져
걱정하지 마 날아오를걸
Because one, two, third, I'm a bird

Birdie birdie ya, I'm a bird
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
푸른색의 불을 지펴 fire
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
I'm gonna be free like a bird

여행을 떠나 보물 지도의
진짜 나를 찾아서
그 아무도 모르게 감췄던
내 오랜 꿈으로 벅차게 날아 가줘 bird

I'm a bird





Birdie birdie ya
I'm gonna be free like a bird

Overall Meaning

The song "Bird" by Kim Namjoo tells the story of someone who experiences a feeling of something breaking inside of them, but somehow feels a name calling out to them. This leads the singer to believe that they need to find their lost love, even though they had left before. The singer expresses their desire to bring the fire back into their relationship, and regardless of what happens, they will catch their lost love even if it means dying trying. The singer then talks about jumping off the cliff with no hesitation and urging the lost love not to worry because they will soar back up like a bird. The chorus "Because one, two, third, I'm a bird" implies that the singer isn't afraid of taking the leap of faith, for she feels like shedding her old skin and being free like a bird.


The second verse speaks of a new beginning, where the singer sheds her old self and wears her true colors. The singer describes herself as someone who has been trapped by the glittery lights of fame, but now sees herself with strong blue wings that reflect her true colors. The singer then talks about flapping her wings and flying off without fear because there is nothing in this world that can hold her back now that she has found love. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the theme of the song, which is freedom, in this case, being free like a bird.

This song didn't get a single trophy, but don't be sad, this is just the start. Namjoo sold almost 20k+ copies of this single, she's being recognized a lot because of this song. When she made her cb let's make sure to give her a win!!!

Soyeon is so talented creating another masterpiece she really needs to rest being overworked from cube anyways this song is a bop hope it goes well for Kim Namjoo

piss

Sface Grey well we don’t know if she’s overworked, maybe she wanted to write songs

ENGR

Don't worry, if Soyeon wants to rest she will rest. She's basically her own boss and Cube's most valuable asset right now. There is nothing they wouldn't do for her, including time off if she wanted it.

Our Soyeon embodies boss energy!

@piss Thats what I thought but I remember watching a Idle episode and the girls went out but she couldn’t because she was writing a song
