Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, uh, uh, everybody know it hurts
우리 가득담긴 추억 한 장 버리고
다시 다짐한다 오늘 널 지운다고
버릇처럼 안돼 상각처럼 안돼
살 수 없어 살 수 없어 가슴 가득 love pain
널 다시 찾는다 you, you, love pain
지울 수도 없어 버릴 수도 없어 또 하루를 버티고
네 안에 난 갇혀 내 마음만 지쳐 [민호] No, no, no
니가 없는 하루가 왜이리 힘든지
살 수 없어 살 수 없어 가슴 가득 love pain
말할 수 없는 버릴 수 없는
넘쳐흐른 my love pain
넌 내방 가득 너의 향길 채우고
I want you to know
이젠 아무것도 할 수 없게 만든다
눈물을 참는다
지울 수도 없어 버릴 수도 없어 또 하루를 버티고
네 안에 난 갇혀 내 마음만 지쳐 No, no, no
니가 없는 하루가 왜이리 힘든지
살 수 없어 살 수 없어 가슴 가득 love pain
말할 수 없는 버릴 수 없는
넘쳐흐른 my love pain
어릴 적 나쁜 버릇 고치듯 널 지워도
독한 약을 삼키듯 oh yeah
흐른 눈물만큼 추억을 더 삼킨다
지울 수도 없어 버릴 수도 없어 또 하루를 버티고
네 안에 난 갇혀 내 마음만 지쳐 [민호] No, no, no
니가 없는 하루가 왜이리 힘든지
살 수 없어 살 수 없어 가슴 가득 love pain
말할 수 없는 버릴 수 없는
끊을 수없는 love of my life
잊혀지지 않아 지워지지 않아 또 하루가 지나고
버릇처럼 아파 오늘은 더 아파 No, no, no, no
잊으려던 마음이 어느 새 약해져
살 수 없어 살 수 없어 가슴 가득 love pain
가질 수 없는 상처만 주는
You’re my love pain
SHINee's song "Love Pain" talks about the pain of love, the hurt someone feels when they continue to love someone who has left them. The lyrics speak of throwing away memories and promising to forget the person they loved. However, the message seems contradictory as the lyrics go on to say that the love and memories remain in the depths of their heart, never able to be erased or forgotten. This love pain is so intense that it consumes their heart, making it impossible to move on from.
The lyrics use powerful imagery to illustrate the intensity of the singer's emotions. The line "you’re my love pain" suggests that the singer's feelings are a part of them, intertwined with their identity, and that they cannot imagine life without this pain. The repetitive "uh, uh, uh" in the chorus emphasizes the notion of pain and hurt, highlighting how universal it is.
The melody and rhythm of the song enhance the emotional message of the lyrics. The slow and melancholic tune creates a somber mood, which effectively conveys the emotions of sadness, heartbreak, and pain. The use of Minho's rap in the song adds a contrasting upbeat texture to the melody, highlighting the confusion and chaos that comes from feeling lost and heartbroken.
Overall, "Love Pain" is a deeply emotional song that is relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak or the pain of unrequited love.
