Overall Meaning

The emotive song “Thank You” by Korean indie rock band, Nell is about the pain and struggle of moving on from a past love but also the gratitude for the memories experienced. The song gracefully depicts the singer’s journey from heartbreak and the resulting tears to eventual healing and acceptance. The opening of the song when translated, goes: “Hey, thank you very much, I shed tears from time to time, but you’re by my side, you accompany me like this, embracing me on the days when I’m depressed.” This is a clear indication that the singer is in the process of overcoming the pain and coming to terms with themselves. The recurring chorus, “so thank you, I miss you”, shows the singer’s appreciation for the relationship that was, and their longing for the comfort that it once provided.


The second verse of the song has the lines, “though we may go our separate ways, the pain of no longer being able to see you lingers, I will feel you forever like this.” This line suggests that the singers know the relationship wasn’t meant to last, but they carry the memories of the person and the relationship with them. The bridge of the song reflects on the painful memories of the past and the challenge of moving on, but ultimately, the singer is hopeful that it was real love and they will come out okay in the end. The song is a beautiful and honest portrayal of heartbreak, and it emphasizes the importance of cherishing memories even when things don’t end the way we wish.
