PRISTIN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honestly no I
하지 마 하지 마 모른 척 하지 마
말해줘 You
하루 종일 널 그렸다 애써 또 지웠다
허락도 없이 날 두드리는 너
너 말이야 왜 자꾸 밀고 당겨 날 또 밀고 Go away
내 머리 위 항상 떠 있잖아
없애보려 생각할수록 부풀어
널 향한 마음 마냥
I need your kiss boy now
곤히 잠들어있는데 넌 대체 어디야
내 동화 속 왕자가 너래도 짠!! 하고
나타나 날 구해줘
꿈속에서는 나타나서 날 안아줘요
꿈에서 깨도 잡은 손 놓기 싫어
가지마 넌 또 왜 내게서 멀리
Running and running and running
Running and running and running
그렇게 자꾸 웃어주면 너 위험해요
나 말고 다른 애들한테 넌
잘해주지 마 너 때문에 내 맘은 계속
Running and running and running
Running and running and running
이번에는 내가 먼저
네 맘을 두드려 보려 해
Do you know what I mean 내 말은
Wanna be with you
Wanna say I love you wanna be with you
Mm 말이야 참 쉽지
911 wheres my pixie
This love 멍청하게 널 기다리다가
다시 잠에 들어요
내일은 용기가 나길
바라봐 네 옆자리가 나길
I'm searching and watching you say that you want me too ow!
꿈속에서는 나타나서 날 안아줘요
꿈에서 깨도 잡은 손 놓기 싫어
가지마 넌 또 왜 내게서 멀리
Running and running and running
Running and running and running
그렇게 자꾸 웃어주면 너 위험해요
나 말고 다른 애들한테 넌
잘해주지 마 너 때문에 내 맘은 계속
Running and running and running
하지마 너
꼭 꿈만 같아 네 눈에 비친 나
그대로 내게 오면 돼
Just be my bae
Then we go like mwah!
꿈 속에서도 나타나서 날 안아줘요
꿈에서 깨도 잡은 손 놓지 않아
Baby I'm with you 이젠 둘이
Loving and loving and loving
Loving and loving and loving
그렇게 항상 나를 보면서 웃어줘요
사실 말이야 난 봐도 봐도 더 설레
Baby I love you 우리 둘이
Loving and loving and loving
가지마 너
단둘이 너와
Honestly no I
하지 마 하지 마
The song "Running" by PRISTIN portrays the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics express the singer's feelings of desperation as she tries to win the affections of the man she loves. The first verse describes her feelings of confusion as she wonders why the man repeatedly pushes her away and then draws her close. She pleads with him to tell her his true feelings and stop playing with her emotions. The chorus then speaks of her dreams where she begs him to stay, afraid to let go of his hand even when she wakes up. The second verse describes her frustration as she watches the man be nice to other girls while making her heart ache. The song ends with her asking him to finally reciprocate her feelings, and promising to wait for him.
The lyrics of Running express a universal theme of unrequited love and the struggle to gain the affections of someone who seems to be constantly pushing you away. The song's Korean title "3-2 Running" refers to the game of "tag," where one person is "it" and has to chase and tag the other players. The song's theme of running away and chasing may be an allusion to this game. The song is romantic and sentimental, with a catchy melody and upbeat tempo that belies its emotional depth.

단둘이 너와
You and I together
Honestly no I
Honestly, I don't want to be with you
하지 마 하지 마 모른 척 하지 마
Don't do it, don't pretend you don't know
말해줘 You
Say it, you
하루 종일 널 그렸다 애써 또 지웠다
All day I tried to draw you, then tried to erase you
허락도 없이 날 두드리는 너
You hit me without permission
너 말이야 왜 자꾸 밀고 당겨 날 또 밀고 Go away
Why do you push and pull me and then go away?
넌 말풍선 같아
You're like a speech bubble
내 머리 위 항상 떠 있잖아
You're always floating above my head
없애보려 생각할수록 부풀어
The more I try to get rid of you, the bigger you become
널 향한 마음 마냥
Like my heart for you
I need your kiss boy now
I need your kiss right now, boy
곤히 잠들어있는데 넌 대체 어디야
I'm sleeping soundly, where are you?
내 동화 속 왕자가 너래도 짠!! 하고
Even if you're my prince in a fairy tale
나타나 날 구해줘
Appear and save me
꿈속에서는 나타나서 날 안아줘요
In my dreams, you appear and hug me
꿈에서 깨도 잡은 손 놓기 싫어
Even if I wake up, I don't want to let go of the hand I grabbed
가지마 넌 또 왜 내게서 멀리
Don't go, why are you distancing yourself from me again?
Running and running and running
Running and running and running
그렇게 자꾸 웃어주면 너 위험해요
If you keep smiling at me like that, it's dangerous for you
나 말고 다른 애들한테 넌
You're nice to other people besides me
잘해주지 마 너 때문에 내 맘은 계속
Don't treat me well, because of you, my heart is always
This love 멍청하게 널 기다리다가
This love, waiting foolishly for you
다시 잠에 들어요
I fall asleep again
내일은 용기가 나길
I hope tomorrow I have the courage
바라봐 네 옆자리가 나길
I hope you look at me and see me by your side
I'm searching and watching you say that you want me too ow!
I'm searching and watching you say that you want me too ow!
이번에는 내가 먼저
This time, I'll be the first
네 맘을 두드려 보려 해
I'm trying to knock on your heart
Do you know what I mean 내 말은
Do you know what I mean, what I'm saying?
Wanna be with you
Wanna say I love you wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, Wanna say I love you, wanna be with you
Mm 말이야 참 쉽지
Yes, words are really easy
911 wheres my pixie
911, where's my pixie
꼭 꿈만 같아 네 눈에 비친 나
I look like a dream that is reflected in your eyes
그대로 내게 오면 돼
Just come to me like that
Just be my bae
Then we go like mwah!
Just be my bae, Then we go like mwah!
Baby I'm with you 이젠 둘이
Baby I'm with you, now just the two of us
Loving and loving and loving
Loving and loving and loving
그렇게 항상 나를 보면서 웃어줘요
Always smile at me like that
사실 말이야 난 봐도 봐도 더 설레
Honestly, I'm more nervous the more I look at you
Baby I love you 우리 둘이
Baby I love you, just the two of us
하지마 너
Don't do it, you
