SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
달콤한 독물 퍼지듯
하얗게 얼어붙은 내 오랜 상처가
너의 가슴 속 깊게 퍼져도
잡은 듯 할 때 파고드는
크롬의 비늘, 날카로움
난 너만 들이쉬면
다시 내뱉을 수 없어
이 잔인한 고통 속에
내가 죽어가고 있잖아
차갑고 시리도록 투명한 너를
마시고 또 마셔 봐도
하얗게 질리도록 달려온 것만큼
너란 사랑에 목이 말라
잡은 듯 할 때 스며드는
서퍼의 습격, 이 부드러움
산소 같은 너
난 너만 들이쉬면
다시 내뱉을 수 없어
이 잔인한 고통 속에
내가 죽어가고 있잖아
얼음 같던 사랑 달콤했던 고통
물결 같던 나의 진심은
얼음 같던 유혹 달콤했던 눈물
아름답게 날 죽음으로
산소 같은 너
난 너만 들이쉬면
다시 내뱉을 수 없어
이 잔인한 고통 속에
내가 죽어가고 있잖아
찢겨진 듯한 내 사랑의 아픔
이 독한 슬픔 깨져 버린
나의 얼음 속에 흐르는 눈물
날아가 버린 결국 날 버린
나를 갈라버린 지독한 향기
그대 없인 숨이 막혀
갈수록 지쳐
넌 산소 같아 내게
산소 같은 산소 같은
산소 같은 너
산소 같은 산소 같은
산소 같은 너
산소 같은 산소 같은
산소 같은 너
산소 같은 산소 같은
산소 같은 너
산소 같은 산소 같은
산소 같은 너
The lyrics to SHINee's song "산소 같은 너" ("You, Like Oxygen") describe a deep and intense love that feels essential and life-giving, comparable to oxygen. The opening lines describe the singer's transparent and fragile state in relation to their loved one, who is like a sweet poison spreading through them. The singer's long-held wounds become frozen and deeply embedded in the loved one's heart.
The lyrics continue to express the intense emotions experienced when they feel like they have caught onto the loved one, like the sharp scales of a chrome surface, and when they permeate into their being. The repetition of the phrase "산소 같은 너" emphasizes the importance of the loved one, as they are compared to oxygen that the singer can't help but breathe in. The intensity of this love leads the singer to feel trapped in cruel pain, where they feel like they are dying.
The lyrics also allude to the loved one's cold and transparent nature, comparing them to ice and expressing the singer's insatiable thirst for their love. The imagery of drinking the loved one and becoming overwhelmed with their presence, to the point of saturation, reflects the addictive and consuming nature of the relationship. The chorus reiterates the idea that once the singer breathes in the loved one, they can never release them again, even amidst the cruel pain and their own demise.
Overall, "산소 같은 너" conveys a sense of an all-consuming and intense love that becomes intertwined with pain and sacrifice. The lyrics paint the picture of a love that is necessary for the singer's existence, yet simultaneously suffocates and destroys them.
