Golden Goat
Ohhyuk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
소나기 보내어
두 눈에 가득 따라서
붉은 손위로
반달을 누이고
두 눈은 달을 따라서
세차게 달려오는
주인을 잃어 이제 슬피 우는 타인
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
세차게 달려오는
황금빛 염소들
주인을 잃어 이제 슬피 우는 타인
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
등이 넘어간다
두 눈은 꼭 감았다
난 누운 날 보고
다시 내려간다
The lyrics to Ohhyuk's song Golden Goat speak of the feelings of the singer, who is seemingly in a state of despair or confusion. The opening lines describe dry lips and a sudden storm, which is followed by images of red hands and the moon. The subsequent lines introduce a pack of golden goats that are running towards the singer, who is lying on the ground. The goats, who seem to have lost their owner, are now crying sadly. As they run past, the singer's back arches, and he closes his eyes, only to open them again soon after.
The repetition of the lyrics throughout the song emphasizes the singer's state of confusion and inability to understand what is happening around him. The imagery of the goats running past him represents a significant moment in the singer's life - one that he may not fully comprehend yet. The chorus emphasizes that the goats are now alone, and the singer is merely a passerby witnessing their distress.
Despite the ambiguity of the song, the lyrics to Golden Goat intriguingly suggest a metaphorical meaning for the singer's experience - perhaps a moment of change, a loss of innocence, or the realization of something significant. The song can be interpreted in many ways, and its enigmatic quality adds to its artistry.
