늘 그 자리에
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
잠을 쫓아 졸린 눈을 떠
잠시 후면 또 내일이야
깜짝할 새 지나간 하루가 허무해
가슴이 모랠 삼키지만
정신 없이 시간이 흘러
두근대던 우리 감정이
익숙해져 당연하듯 느껴질까
소홀해진 인사들
덤덤히 상처 줬을 행동들
아프게 하려 한 게 아닌데
매번 미안한 마음만
늘 그 자리에 있어 날 지켜줘서
늘 내가 받을 비난 대신해서
아무 말도 없이 날 감싸준 네 모습을 이젠
내가 거울처럼 비추려 해
또 되돌려 봐 기억의 필름
우리 처음 만난 날엔
가슴 뛰어 감출 수 없는 눈물
고마운 만큼 넘쳤어
나보다 나를 이해해서
내가 무너지려 할 때
나보다 힘들어하는 네 모습에
또 아이처럼 울었어
우리 사이엔 끈이 있어
말론 설명할 수 없는 엄청난
우리 얘기, 추억이 차곡차곡
오늘도 계속 이어져
늘 그 자리에 있어 날 지켜줘서
늘 내가 받을 비난 대신해서
아무 말도 없이 날 감싸준 네 모습을 이젠
내가 거울처럼 비추려 해
늘 그 자리에 있어 날 지켜줘서
늘 내가 받을 비난 대신 해서
아무 말도 없이 날 감싸준 네 모습을 이젠
안아주려 해
힘들어져 포기하고 싶을 때
약한 맘에 도망치고 싶을 때
작은 네 손이 내겐 가장 큰 힘 되는 걸
평생 널 위한 노랠 불러 줄게
늘 그 자리에 있어 날 믿고 지켜준 네게
고마움 담은 노랠 전할게
길고도 긴 인연의 끈에
어디에 닿을지 모를 종착역 끝에
서로 배워가며 많은 것을 느껴
마음 표현하긴 항상 늦어
가슴에는 잊혀지지 않겠지
눈에는 남겨져 웃고 있겠지
나의 기쁨이 너에게 행복이 된다면
고마워
The song "늘 그 자리에" by SHINee is a heartfelt tribute to the unbreakable bond between two individuals who have been through thick and thin together. The song begins with a somber tone and explores the feelings of the singer who's feeling restless and unable to sleep. As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is reflecting on the past experiences shared with the person they're addressing to - reminiscing about the memories of their first meeting, the growth of their relationship, and how they've supported each other through the good and bad times.
The lyrics also address some of the challenges that occur in any relationship, acknowledging that sometimes unintentional hurt is caused by carelessness and saying things we don't mean. However, even in the midst of disagreements, the singers portray an underlying sense of gratitude, that through it all, the other person has been there "in that spot" supporting them and providing a sense of comfort.
The final verse conveys a message of hope, that regardless of where their paths may lead and whether their time spent together was ultimately fleeting, they will always cherish and remember the connection they've shared.
Overall, "늘 그 자리에" is a poignant and emotionally evocative tribute to the enduring nature of love and the power of shared experiences in shaping the course of our lives.
