Hangover
Paul Kim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
변한 것 없이 변해버린 나를 봐
울 수도 없고 웃을 수도 없는
너도 다 아는 그런 맘일 거야
그 때 넌 무슨 생각이었을까
잔인하다 해도 모두 말해 줘
바보같이 난 좋았던 일만
후회한다고 뭐가 달라질까
돌아간다고 뭘 할 수 있을까
버틸 힘도 견딜 힘도 없어
어둑해진 밤하늘 바라보다
쓸쓸하게 날 비추던 달빛과
그 옆에 조용히 빛나던 그 별빛에
취해 난 너를 떠올리며 웃고 있었어
그 때 넌 무슨 생각이었을까
잔인하다 해도 모두 말해 줘
바보같이 난 좋았던 일만
그런 것밖엔 안 떠올라서
후회한다고 뭐가 달라질까
돌아간다고 뭘 할 수 있을까
버틸 힘도 견딜 힘도 없어
차라리 모진 말로 날
다신 뒤돌아볼 수도 없게
날 밀어내
지나쳐버린 시간을 원망해
붙잡을 수 없단 것도 알지만
다가갈수록 멀어지는 게
모두 내 탓인 것만 같은데
여기서 포기하라고 말해줘
그게 더 나을 거야 지금의 난
버틸 힘도 견딜 힘도 없어 hoo
너도 아는 그런 맘인 거야
The lyrics of Paul Kim's song "Hangover" delve into the feelings of regret and helplessness that come after a night of excess. The opening lines paint a picture of a messy desk, and the singer observes how despite the chaos around them, they remain unchanged. They express a sense of emotional numbing and feeling stuck, unable to cry or laugh, a state that the listeners can also relate to.
The chorus of the song asks what difference it would make to regret or turn back time since the singer feels powerless and unable to bear their feelings. They reminisce about the past and wish they could go back to a time when they were happy, and only happy thoughts come to their mind when they're reminded of that time. The second verse describes how the singer is intoxicated by the moon and stars as they gaze at the night sky, and the light amplifies their thoughts of the person they are missing.
The last verse of the song reveals the desperate plea of someone who wishes to be told to let go and move on since they are increasingly feeling hopeless. They confess to feeling guilty as if it's their fault that things turned out the way they did. The tender and contemplative tone of the song underlines the singer's melancholy as they struggle to come to terms with their current situation.

어질러진 책상을 바라보다
Staring at my messy desk
변한 것 없이 변해버린 나를 봐
I see that I've changed while nothing else has
울 수도 없고 웃을 수도 없는
I'm feeling neither happy nor sad
너도 다 아는 그런 맘일 거야
The same feeling that you know too
그 때 넌 무슨 생각이었을까
What were you thinking back then?
잔인하다 해도 모두 말해 줘
Even if it's cruel, just tell me everything
바보같이 난 좋았던 일만
Like a fool, I can only recall the good memories
그런 것밖엔 안 떠올라서
Because nothing else comes to mind
후회한다고 뭐가 달라질까
What would change if I regret?
돌아간다고 뭘 할 수 있을까
What can I do if I go back?
버틸 힘도 견딜 힘도 없어
I have no strength to endure
어둑해진 밤하늘 바라보다
Looking at the dark night sky
쓸쓸하게 날 비추던 달빛과
The moonlight shining on me, making me lonely
그 옆에 조용히 빛나던 그 별빛에
And the quietly shining stars beside it
취해 난 너를 떠올리며 웃고 있었어
I was drunk and smiling, thinking of you
차라리 모진 말로 날
Just harshly push me away
다신 뒤돌아볼 수도 없게
So I can never look back again
날 밀어내
Push me away
지나쳐버린 시간을 원망해
Blaming the time that has passed
붙잡을 수 없단 것도 알지만
Though I know I can't hold onto it
다가갈수록 멀어지는 게
It just gets farther away as I get closer
모두 내 탓인 것만 같은데
And it feels like it's all my fault
여기서 포기하라고 말해줘
Tell me to give up right here and now
그게 더 나을 거야 지금의 난
That would be better for me now
버틸 힘도 견딜 힘도 없어 hoo
I have no strength to endure, hoo
너도 아는 그런 맘인 거야
The same feeling that you know too
