화살
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
가슴 가득한 그대 흔적
나를 숨쉬게 해요
달빛에 긴 밤이 모두 물들면
헤어날 수 없는 기다림
다 끝이 날까요
Oh 그대 맘에 닿고 싶은 날 말하지 못해
시린 구름 뒤에 가린 별빛들처럼
사랑해 입술 끝에 맴돌던 아픈 고백 모두
끝내 눈물에 흘러
심장에 닿은 이 화살은 oh
이젠 내 몸 같겠죠 eh
죽을 만큼 너무 아파도
내 맘에 박힌 그대를 꺼낼 수 없네요
사랑이라서 난 사랑이라서
나 그댈 갖지 못해도
내 맘이 끝내 슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
사랑해 바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 내 전부니까 oh
수 많은 밤 지새우다
내 눈물 같은 별빛이 멎지 않는 비가 되면
기억해요 (기억해요) 내가 사랑했단 걸
나 그댈 갖지 못해도
내 맘이 끝내 슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
그대를 사랑해 바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 내 전부니까 yeah
그댈 갖지 못해도 (I need you)
내 맘이 끝내 슬픈 인연의 벽 앞에 가로막혀도
그대를 사랑해 (그대를 사랑해) 바라볼 수만 있는 곳이라면
그댄 나의 전부니까 (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
힘겹지 않아요 (않아요) oh no
Woo woo woo 내 그대라 그대니까
아파도 울려도 사랑해
The lyrics to SHINee's song "화살" (Arrow) describe the pain and longing of unrequited love. The chorus speaks of a "dart," or "arrow," that has pierced the singer's heart and made it impossible to remove the object of their affection from their thoughts. Despite the pain, they continue to love and cherish this person, even if they cannot be together. The verses include references to the night and stars, adding to the sense of longing and romanticism. The bridge introduces the idea of a "sad fate," implying that the singer feels that their love is doomed to be unfulfilled.
Throughout the song, the singer's vocals are charged with emotion, conveying the depth of their feelings. The repetition of the "hoo hoo hoo" refrain adds to the drama, as if the singer is howling in pain or pleading for relief.
Overall, "화살" is a poignant and moving reflection on the power of love and the heartbreak that can come with it. The images of night and stars give the song a dreamy quality, while the singer's raw vocals make it clear that this is a love that cannot be denied.

가슴 가득한 그대 흔적
The traces of you fill my heart
나를 숨쉬게 해요
They help me breathe
달빛에 긴 밤이 모두 물들면
When the moonlit long nights are over

An unbearable wait

I pray for miracles and search for answers
