Obliviate
Lovelyz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
선명하게 스며드는 잔상
난 왜 아파하면서 너를 사랑하는지
떠나지 못하고 널 맴돌아
돌이킬 수 없단 걸 다 알면서도 미어지도록
널 사랑하는 거
그만할래 oh (너를 멈출래 내 세상 속에서)
Obliviate obliviate
너를 잊는다
Obliviate obliviate
보내줄게 이제 안녕 너로 가득한 지난날
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
Don't take me down down stop it
Down down stop it, down down stop it (all day long)
Let me down down stop it, down down stop it
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
기억이 가시처럼 돋아나
스스로 난 둘러싸여 찔려가
모든 걸 놓지 못하고 계속 끌어안는 나
더 깊어지지 않게 구해줘
계속 다쳐가는 걸 잘 알면서도 저려 오도록
널 사랑하는 거
그만할래 oh (너를 지울래 내 기억 속에서)
후회 없이 난 기억 속 널 삼킨다
Obliviate obliviate
너를 지운다
Obliviate obliviate
끊어낼게 이제 안녕 너로 채웠던 지난날
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
Don't take me down down stop it
Down down stop it, down down stop it (all day long)
Let me down down stop it, down down stop it
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
내 맘속 가득 피웠던 꽃잎들이 모두 사라져
눈을 감고 기억 속 너를 날려
후회 없어 난 내 맘속의 너를
기억 속에 삼킨다
Obliviate obliviate
너를 잊는다
Obliviate obliviate
보내줄게 이제 안녕 너로 슬펐던 지난날
영원히 널 모두 삼킨다
Oh oh
Obliviate obliviate
너를 잊는다
Obliviate obliviate
너를 지운다
Obliviate obliviate
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
The lyrics of Lovelyz's song "Obliviate" speak to the pain of loving someone and the difficulty of letting go. The singer seems to be haunted by memories of a past love, unable to move on despite knowing it's for the best. The first verse sets the scene of a blurry and disorienting world, where the memory of the person they loved remains vividly clear. They wonder why they continue to love someone who has already left them and can't seem to break free from the hold this person has on them. The chorus speaks to the desire to forget, to "Obliviate" the memories and move on, but the repetition of the phrase "Don't take me down down stop it" suggests that the process is not an easy one.
The second verse shows the singer grappling with the painful memories of their love, comparing them to a thorn that continues to prick them. Despite their best intentions, they can't let go of this person completely and continue to hold onto them. In the bridge, the singer imagines their memories of their love as flower petals that have withered away. They close their eyes, trying to let go and move on, but still find themselves consumed by thoughts of their past love.
Overall, "Obliviate" is a poignant and relatable expression of the pain of moving on from a past love. The lyrics convey the struggle of trying to let go and move forward, yet still feeling held back by memories and feelings that won't fade away easily.

어지럽게 흐트러진 시야 속에
In a fuzzy, disoriented sight,
선명하게 스며드는 잔상
A clear lingering image seeps through
난 왜 아파하면서 너를 사랑하는지
Why do I hurt while loving you?
떠나지 못하고 널 맴돌아
I can't leave and keep circling around you
돌이킬 수 없단 걸 다 알면서도 미어지도록
Even though I know it can't be reversed, I'm losing my mind
널 사랑하는 거
I love you
그만할래 oh (너를 멈출래 내 세상 속에서)
I want to stop it oh (I want to stop you in my world)
후회 없이 난 기억 속 널 삼킨다
Without regret, I swallow you in my memories
Obliviate obliviate
Obliviate, obliviate
너를 잊는다
I forget you
보내줄게 이제 안녕 너로 가득한 지난날
I'll let you go, now goodbye to days filled with you
영원히 널 모두 잊는다
I'll forget you forever
Don't take me down down stop it
Don't take me down, down stop it
기억이 가시처럼 돋아나
Memories bloom like thorns
스스로 난 둘러싸여 찔려가
I'm surrounded and pricked by myself
모든 걸 놓지 못하고 계속 끌어안는 나
I can't let go and keep holding on to everything
더 깊어지지 않게 구해줘
Save me before it gets deeper
계속 다쳐가는 걸 잘 알면서도 저려 오도록
Even though I know I'm hurting myself, I'm drawn to you
널 사랑하는 거
I love you
그만할래 oh (너를 지울래 내 기억 속에서)
I want to stop it oh (I want to erase you from my memories)
후회 없이 난 기억 속 널 삼킨다
Without regret, I swallow you in my memories
너를 지운다
I erase you
끊어낼게 이제 안녕 너로 채웠던 지난날
I'll cut it off, now goodbye to the past filled with you
내 맘속 가득 피웠던 꽃잎들이 모두 사라져
The flower petals that bloomed in my heart all disappear
눈을 감고 기억 속 너를 날려
I close my eyes and let you fly away in my memories
후회 없어 난 내 맘속의 너를
Without regret, I hold onto you in my heart
영원히 널 모두 삼킨다
I'll swallow you forever

I'm so sad that this was their last comeback, they really deserved so much more! It's also quite surprising that Soul decided to remain with woolliment but I'm so happy that I got to follow these girls for 7 years, it was a really nice journey 💖
paul
@purrfect one lmao lovelyz popularity in sokor is no joke, hon

@Hello Hello Yeah but considering the reason why the others didn't sign again was because woollim did them wrong, which includes her, I guess she's just gone with the safest option and remained with them anyways...but good for her! she's been having her own solo concerts lately inviting Kim Sunggyu and Kei, fans must be happy!
Hello Hello
actually soul remained with woolliment probably because she's always been with them and they've given her many opportunities, as she had debuted as a soloist before she was added to the lineup for lovelyz
Johnrey Matuman
me also I'm became a fan of lovelyz since the release of their lovelyz8 album
keplyz
@Thesmus sorry i dont think you can cause they already disbanded..😭😭😭
dongdong's dreamin'
Also to all the haters, saying they're boring and unpopular. Lovelyz actually hit it very big in Korea. They are super popular and big there and that's what Woollim aims with many of their groups!!
keplyz
Yes i agree , as a lovelinus , i say they are famous and big in korea but unpopuler worldwide ....
joanie
