Starry Night
Lee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

마음이 어두워서
잠드는 게 어려워져
복잡한 세상들이 부지런히 괴롭혀
창밖에 햇살이 내 얼굴 가득 덮어도
눈을 뜨는 일이 싫은 걸
이제 널 볼 수가 없는 이 현실이
다시 바뀔 수 있다면
내가 어두운 밤이 되면 별이 되어 줘

네가 반짝반짝 빛나는 별이 돼 줄래
모두들 잠드는 침묵의 밤 너머에
네가 내 친구가 되어 줘
친구가 되어 줘

얼마나 좋을까 꿈이 만약 이뤄지면
너와 함께할 수 있다면
힘겨운 하루 끝 늘 찾아오는 별처럼
널 볼 수 있다면
내가 어두운 밤이 되면 별이 되어 줘
네가 반짝반짝 빛나는 별이 돼 줄래
모두들 잠드는 침묵의 밤 너머에
네가 내 친구가 되어 줘

Ooh-ah-ah
Ooh-ah-ah

내가 눈물의 밤 지새면 빛이 되어 줘
나도 너의 불안한 밤에 빛이 돼 줄게
내가 길을 잃고 헤매면 별이 되어 줘
네가 알 수 없는 내일에 별이 돼 줄래
모두들 어딘가 떠나는 밤 너머에

네가 내 친구가 되어 줘
별빛이 되어 줘 hmm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lee's song "Starry night" convey the feeling of darkness and difficulty in falling asleep due to a troubled mind and the complexities of the world. The singer describes how even though sunlight might fill the window, they dislike opening their eyes and facing the reality where they can no longer see the person they desire. They express a longing for a change in this reality, hoping that if they become the darkness of the night, they can transform into a shining star that the person they miss can see. The singer desires to be a comforting presence for the person they long for, even in the silent night when everyone else is asleep. They want to become friends with this person, offering companionship and support.

In the second paragraph, the lyrics portray the singer's dreams and the hope that they could come true. They express how wonderful it would be if they could be together with the person they long for and how, like a star that always appears at the end of a challenging day, they want to be able to see them. The singer desires to become the shining star that brings joy and comfort to the person they miss. They hope for this connection beyond the silence of the night when everyone else is sleeping, eagerly asking for the person to become their friend.

The "Ooh-ah-ah" is a melodic interlude that adds emotion to the song, potentially representing the longing and yearning the singer feels.

In the final paragraph, the lyrics express the singer's willingness to be there for the person they miss during their difficult nights.

They ask for the person to become their friend and to shine like starlight in a world where everyone seems to be leaving. The lyrics end with a whispered "hmm," perhaps indicating a sense of contemplation and longing.
