New Shoes
OOHYO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking at the bruises on her feet
New shoes she bought
Don't fit her at all, at all
I am a bird singing by your window
Humming to the songs you play at night
Looking up at me
Oh little bird
Wish I could fly like you
Only if I could fly...
Wish I could fly like you
Sometimes I'll sit out on the bench
Sometimes I'll miss out on the fun
Won't be too long
'Til I finally get back home
And you'll be right
Here with me
Here
With me
You'll be right
Here
With me
And you'll be right
Here
With me
You called me yours
And I'm satisfied
You called me yours, yours
Yours, yours
And I'm satisfied
Satisfied...
The lyrics to OOHYO's "New Shoes" are poignant and evocative, revealing the struggles and joys of everyday life. The opening lines, "I am a child crying in the shower, looking at the bruises on her feet," paint a picture of someone who is trying to cope with pain and difficulty. The metaphor of "bruises on her feet" suggests that the singer is struggling to walk a path that is uneven and difficult. Later, we learn that the singer has bought new shoes that don't fit her at all--another metaphor for the ways in which she may feel out of place or uncomfortable in her own skin.
The second verse shifts to a different perspective, as the singer imagines being a bird singing by someone's window. The bird is a symbol of freedom and adaptability, and the singer wishes she could fly like the bird. The final verse suggests that the singer is waiting for someone to come and join her--perhaps the person who has been looking up at the bird. The repeated refrain of "You'll be right here with me" suggests that the singer is waiting for someone to share in her joys and sorrows.
Overall, "New Shoes" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores themes of pain, longing, and connection. By using metaphors and symbols that are both concrete and abstract, OOHYO creates a rich and affecting portrait of a person who is struggling to find her place in the world.

-Lyrics (Korean)
나는 샤워하면서 우는 아이
발에 난 멍을 보고 있죠
새로 산 신발이
하나도 안 맞아요, 안 맞아요
나는 창문 밖에서 노래하는 새
밤에 당신의 음악 소리에 흥얼거리죠
그런 나를 올려다보며
당신은 이런 생각 하겠죠
작은 새야
나도 너처럼 날 수 있다면 얼마나 좋을까
날 수만 있다면
너처럼 날고 싶어
가끔은 벤치를 지켜야 할 것이고
재밌는 것도 다 놓칠 거에요
그렇지만 금방 올 거에요
마침내 집에 돌아갈 시간이
그때 당신은 딱
여기 내 옆에
여기
내 옆에 있을 거에요
당신이 딱
여기
내 옆에
그리고 딱
여기
내 옆에
당신은 나를 당신 것이라 했고
나는 만족해요
당신은 나를
당신의 것, 당신의 것이라고 불렀고
나는 만족해요
만족

I don't know why but this melody makes me feel like i'm lying on the ground in my garden, under the sun; enjoying the peacefullness and listening to the sound of nature. I feel no fear at all.
