Noise Cancelling
SBGB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
작은 생각들이 물고 늘어져가는 밤
Turn off the radio
넌 늘 얘기했지 신경 쓰지 말라고
Turn off the radio
넌 늘 들어줬지 this is red
네게 집중할 때면 왜
둘만 있는 것처럼 느껴지는지
Noise cancelling
시끄러운 사람들 틈에도 선명히 들려와

Noise cancelling
조그맣게 들리던 수많은 말들이
모아져 늘어져 소음으로 가득한 밤
Turn out the shining light
넌 늘 얘기했지 생각을 멈춰보자고
Turn out the shining light
넌 늘 들어줬지 this is red

네게 집중할 때면 왜
둘만 있는 것처럼 느껴지는지

시끄러운 사람들 틈에도 선명히 들려와

The lyrics of Noise Cancelling by SBGB describe the singer's struggle with the constant noise and distractions in their life. The first verse expresses how even when their mind tries to rest, their thoughts keep churning and amplifying into a surrounding noise. The words "머릿속 스위치를 온종일 끄지 못해" convey the idea of being unable to turn off the switch of the mind. The singer is unable to turn off their thoughts, which keeps them from truly resting. The second verse talks about a shining light that is distracting the singer which the singer is urged to turn off to find peace. Through all this noise, the singer's focus is being pulled in multiple directions, yet somehow they find solace in the midst of all the noise, where they feel like the world slows down, and there are only two of them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Noise cancelling" in a catchy melody, much like how noise-cancelling headphones drown out the noise around us. Yet, in this case, the singer is not trying to ignore the sounds but is trying to focus on what is important to them amidst all the surrounding noise. The chorus suggests that even among the loud sounds from people around them, the singer can hear what's meaningful to them clearly.
