Because
R. M. Točak Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

들리지 않아도 나에게 하고픈
네 얘길 다 알아
늘 내가 걱정돼 한숨만 내쉬며
행복을 바라겠지

차라리 너를 하얗게 잊어내며
좋은 사람 만나라고 하고 싶겠지
널 위해서라면 전부터 넌 세상에

없었던 사람이 되길 빌잖아

어떻게 아냐고 그렇게 내가 비니까
멀리 있지만 아마도 우린 같을 테니까
허락된 인연은 다하고 말았지만
아직도 너와 난 하나라고 느껴질 만큼
사랑하니까

보이지 않아도 지금 넌 어떻게
지낼지 다 알아
왜 사는지조차 그 이유 모른 채
또 하루를 보냈겠지

누굴 만나도 그 어디에 있어도
마음은 늘 같은 곳을 향해 있겠지
애써 참지만 서글픈 노래라도
들리면 넌 그만 울고 말 거야

어떻게 아냐고 그렇게 내가 사니까
멀리 있지만 아마도 우린 같을 테니까
닿을 수 없는 곳에 슬픔이어도
이렇게 헤어져도 우린 사랑하니까

슬퍼하지 마 함께할 내가 없음을
난 네가 되고 넌 내가 되어 살면 되잖아

마음으로 이미 서로를 가진 거야

저 하늘마저도 그것만은 어쩔 수 없게
사랑하니까

Overall Meaning

In the song "Because" by R. M. Točak Band, the lyrics express deep love and concern for someone. The singer acknowledges that even if they are not heard, they know everything the other person wants to say. They are constantly worried about this person and only wish for their happiness. They are willing to forget about them and encourage them to meet someone better if it means that person's well-being. They hope that for the sake of the other person, they can become someone who never existed in their world.

Despite being apart, the singer believes that they are still the same and connected. They ask how can it not be true when they feel so much pain and longing. Even though their allowed destiny together seems to be over, they still feel like they are one because they love each other.

The lyrics also reflect on the other person's present state. Even though they are not visible, the singer knows what they are doing and how they are living. They question why they continue living without even knowing the reason why, but assume that they must have spent another day thinking about the same place. No matter who they meet or where they are, their heart will always be directed towards the same place. They urge the person to stop crying and if they hear a sad song, they should stop crying and speak out.

Again, the singer asks how can it not be true when they are the one feeling this way. They believe that despite the distance, they are still the same and connected. Even if sadness reaches them in a place they cannot reach, even if they have to say goodbye like this, they still love each other.

The final lines of the song convey a sense of acceptance and reassurance. The singer tells the other person not to be sad because they don't need to be together physically. They can be each other and live their lives. They emphasize that they already have each other in their hearts and even the sky cannot change that, because they love each other.
