The 2nd Story
Ryeowook Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

빨갛게 물든 이름 모를 저 바다
메마른 구름을 건너 여행을 온 거죠
아무 글자 없는 밤 하늘 까만 하루의 끝에
너에게 닿을 파란 별 하나 둘 적어 보네요

우리 멈춰진 시간 속에 (hmm)
하얀 별빛 쏟아내요 전해지도록

꽃이 피어나 두 번 필 때
우리 다시 꼭 만나겠지 (hmm)
내 시간에 넌 곁에 있어 날 지켜준 거야
늘 함께였던 오늘 너를 그린다

우리 바래진 기억 속에 (hmm)
내 맘 가득 담아 두었던
하얀 별빛 흩날려요 전해지도록

꽃이 피어나 두 번 필 때
우리 다시 꼭 만나겠지 (hmm)
내 시간에 넌 웃고 있어 날 안아준 거야
늘 함께였던 오늘 너를 그린다

내 맘 알까 매일 쓴 편지에 꽃잎을 달아
먼 훗날 우리의 멜로디 파란 별 되어
우주 너머 춤추길 바래

네가 피어나 내가 필 때
우리 다시 꼭 만날 거야 (ooh-ooh)

내 품 안에 넌 웃고 있어 널 지켜줄 거야
늘 함께였던 오늘 너를 그린다

Overall Meaning

The song "The 2nd Story" tells a story of a journey, where the singer crosses the dry clouds and travels to an unknown sea, where they write down blue stars to reach the person they love. The lyrics highlight the fact that time has stopped for the two lovers, and in that moment, they are surrounded by white starlight. As they wait to see each other again, they remember the moments they spent together and keep them alive in their faded memories. The singer, in his letters, puts flower petals, hoping that someday, their story will become a blue star that dances across the universe.

The chorus of the song emphasizes their unwavering love and commitment to each other. The two will meet again when the flowers bloom twice, and they'll be reunited in the singer's embrace. The song is a beautiful work of art that highlights how love can be immortalized in memories and how it carries on beyond just the present moment.
