Homesick
Kim Yeon Woo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
말로 하긴 구차해 꺼내지 않아
시작된 오해 끝을 불러
너에게만은 취약했어 난
I was really yours
떠오르겠지 너의 모든 게
돌아갈 생각은 안 나는 게 난 웃겨
You can't stop me ever 이젠 안녕
I'm not homesick ever 그리워봤자
다시 엉켜 지내다가는
벗어나길 꿈꾸게 될걸 그게 다 보여
서로를 봐도 외롭고 그러다 보면 괴로워
좋아했던 이유로 싫어진 다지
우리가 그 말대로 됐지 뭐
나에게 만은 약해지던 너
You were really mine
잊지 못해도 할 만큼 했어
그래서인가 봐 안 돌아가 난 됐어
You can't stop me ever 이젠 안녕
I'm not homesick ever 그리워봤자
다시 엉켜 지내다가는
벗어나길 꿈꾸게 될걸 그게 다 보여
우린 가진 게 참 많아 서로를 버려도 돼
You can't stop me ever 이젠 안녕
I'm not homesick ever 그리워봤자
다시 엉켜 지내다가는
벗어나길 꿈꾸게 될걸
그게 잘 보여
The lyrics of Kim Yeon Woo's song Homesick speak of a love story that has come to an end, leaving both parties feeling alone and apathetic. The song opens with the lines "Living in your house, I drifted away from the world, It's hard to express, I don't bring it up" portraying a sense of distance that has come between the couple. The singer then talks about how the misunderstandings that arose between them led to the end of the relationship. In the chorus, he talks about how he no longer longs for the past, as it only brings pain, and how he dreams of breaking free from the watertight grasp of the relationship.
The second verse talks about how the two of them became each other's weakness. The line "You were really mine" talks of the love they shared when they were together. The singer mentions how he loved her so much, he could never forget her, which is why he had to leave. The succeeding lines further establish that the separation was circumstantial and not voluntary. The last verse has the singer realize that, although they have a lot of material possessions, they are fundamentally alone without each other. The song ultimately ends with the repetition of the chorus, reiterating the longing to break free from the memories of the past and start anew.
