Intro : Time
OneUs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

멈춘 듯한 너의 시 (너의 시)
마치 깨질 듯한 빛 (듯한 빛)

새벽을 지나오네
익숙한 이 잿빛 하늘엔
사라지는 기억을 새겨지게 (새겨지게)

잊지 못해 떠나간 네 향기 (네 향기)

매일같이 찾아오는 밤이 (밤이)
널 원하고 원하고 또 원하는데
이렇게 반복돼 난 every day

끝이 없는 반복에도 네가 생각나

The time is gone
억지로 물든 추억은 burning, burning, burning, burning out
The time is gone
이제서야 잠이 든
난 너를 너를 너를 봐
In my dream

The time is gone
억지로 물든 추억은 burning, burning, burning, burning out
The time is gone
이제서야 잠이 든

난 너를 너를 너를 봐
In my dream

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics describe the stillness and fragility of someone's time or existence. The singer compares it to a paused clock and a flickering light that is on the verge of breaking. This sets a tone of uncertainty and delicacy.

As the dawn passes by, the familiar ashy sky leaves behind fading memories engraved in it. The repetitive phrase "새겨지게" (engrave) suggests that these disappearing memories are deeply etched and difficult to forget. It highlights the singer's inability to let go of the scent left behind by someone who has left.

The next lines depict the constant longing the singer feels every day. They express how the night comes regularly like clockwork, bringing thoughts of the person they desire repeatedly. The repetition emphasizes the cycle of their emotions and the unchanging pattern of their yearning.

Despite the endless repetition of these feelings, the singer cannot help but think of the person who has left. Their thoughts persist even in the midst of a never-ending cycle, indicating the depth of their attachment and the impact the person has had on their life.

In the subsequent chorus, the phrase "The time is gone" is repeated, emphasizing the passage of time and reinforcing the idea that the moments shared with the person they miss are now in the past. The singer reflects on how memories that were forcibly painted are now burning out, signifying the fading of these memories.

Finally, the lyrics reveal that the singer can only finally rest and sleep after the time has passed and the memories have burned out. In their dreams, they continue to see the person they long for, suggesting that even though they have accepted the passing of time, their emotions and attachment still persist in their subconscious mind. The phrase "In my dream" conveys a sense of longing and perhaps a desire for the person to return or for the dream to become reality.

Overall, the lyrics of "Intro: Time" convey a bittersweet and repetitive longing for someone who has left. The passage of time and the fading of memories are significant themes in the song, underscoring the emotional impact this person had on the singer.
