An Encore
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
하루씩 또렷해져
거꾸로 시간이 흐른 듯
오히려 선명해져
기억의 강을 건너면
잊을 수 있을 거란
헛된 믿음도 헛된 희망도
이젠 버렸어
침묵의 메아리 그 속에 잠긴
메마른 두 입술 그 안에 담긴
길었던 이야기 만큼
허무했던 우리의 안녕
익숙함이 준 당연함 속에
우리 사랑은 야윈 달처럼 희미해져
진심이 아닌 모진 독설로 그리 서로를
아프게 했던 시절
자욱이 쌓인 무관심 속에
우리 사랑은 시든 꽃처럼 초라해져
얼마나 소중한 줄 모르고
쓸쓸히 바래진 너와 나의 계절
세월은 무섭게 흘러
모두 변해가지만
변하지 않는 단 한 가지만
분명해져 가
어설픈 방랑과 낯설은 여정
오랜 표류 끝에 그 길의 끝에
마지막 숨을 내쉬는 내 결론은 오직 한 사람
익숙함이 준 당연함 속에
우리 사랑은 야윈 달처럼 희미해져
진심이 아닌 모진 독설로 그리 서로를
아프게 했던 시절
자욱이 쌓인 무관심 속에
우리 사랑은 시든 꽃처럼 초라해져
얼마나 소중한 줄 모르고
쓸쓸히 바래진 너와 나의 계절
그래 아직도 난 꿈을 꿔 (아직도 난 꿈을 꿔)
짙은 어둠이 걷힌 후엔
아침 햇살 위로 빛나던 (빛나던) 그날의 (그날의) 너와 나
재연될 거야
되물어 봐도 늘 같은 해답
길을 잃어버린 듯 여전히 널 찾아 헤매
태어난 순간 혹 세상이 시작된 날부터
정해진 운명처럼 (ooh)
되돌려보자 다 제자리로
우리 더는 정답 아닌 길로 가지 말자 (가지 말자)
다시 막이 오르는 무대처럼 (무대처럼)
눈물 났던 영화의 속편처럼 (속편처럼)
결국 이뤄지는 두 주인공처럼
The lyrics to SHINee's song An Encore describe the end of a relationship and the feelings that come with it. The opening lines suggest that time has made the emotions more vivid and clear, but also that the hope for forgetting and moving on has been abandoned. The chorus highlights the familiar feeling of love that has become mundane and the hurtful words that were said during the relationship. The second verse mentions the indifference that has taken over the love, causing it to wither like a dying flower. The bridge brings up the idea of destiny and searching for the one person that can fulfill it, while the final chorus has a hopeful note that eventually, the two people who were once in love will find each other again.
Overall, An Encore is a sad but hopeful song that deals with the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The lyrics are poetic and use powerful metaphors to describe the different stages of the love story. The song's melody is also emotional, with a haunting quality that fits the theme of the lyrics.

물감이 번져 가는 듯
Memories are becoming clearer day by day, just like watercolors spreading
하루씩 또렷해져
Each day the memories become clearer and sharper
거꾸로 시간이 흐른 듯
It feels like time has passed backward
오히려 선명해져
However, the memories become clearer and sharper
기억의 강을 건너면
If we cross the river of memories
잊을 수 있을 거란
We used to believe that we could forget
헛된 믿음도 헛된 희망도
We've given up on false beliefs and hopes
이젠 버렸어
We have let them go
침묵의 메아리 그 속에 잠긴
Echoes of silence lie within us
메마른 두 입술 그 안에 담긴
Our dry lips contain secrets
길었던 이야기 만큼
Our story was as long as the road we traveled on
허무했던 우리의 안녕
Our goodbye was empty and meaningless
익숙함이 준 당연함 속에
In familiarity, love fades like a dim moon
우리 사랑은 야윈 달처럼 희미해져
Our love has become as faint as a waning moon
진심이 아닌 모진 독설로 그리 서로를
We hurt each other with cruel words that lacked sincerity
아프게 했던 시절
Those were the painful days
자욱이 쌓인 무관심 속에
In our apathy, our love has withered like a flower
우리 사랑은 시든 꽃처럼 초라해져
Our love has become faded and pitiful like a wilting flower
얼마나 소중한 줄 모르고
We didn't know how precious it was
쓸쓸히 바래진 너와 나의 계절
Our season has passed quietly and desolately
그래 아직도 난 꿈을 꿔 (아직도 난 꿈을 꿔)
I still have dreams (I still have dreams)
짙은 어둠이 걷힌 후엔
After the deep darkness has cleared
아침 햇살 위로 빛나던 (빛나던) 그날의 (그날의) 너와 나
The you and I who shone beneath the morning sun (shone) on that day (on that day)
재연될 거야
Will meet again
되물어 봐도 늘 같은 해답
Even if I ask again, the answer will remain the same
길을 잃어버린 듯 여전히 널 찾아 헤매
Lost as if I'm wandering, I'm still searching for you
태어난 순간 혹 세상이 시작된 날부터
From the moment I was born or the day the world began
정해진 운명처럼 (ooh)
Like a predestined fate (ooh)
되돌려보자 다 제자리로
Let's go back and stand in our assigned places
우리 더는 정답 아닌 길로 가지 말자 (가지 말자)
Let's not take the wrong path anymore (let's not)
다시 막이 오르는 무대처럼 (무대처럼)
Like the curtain rising on a stage again (like a stage)
눈물 났던 영화의 속편처럼 (속편처럼)
Like the sequel to a tearful movie (like a sequel)
결국 이뤄지는 두 주인공처럼
Like the two main characters who end up together

The thing I love about this song is... it's sad but hopeful. I feel like the song is telling us to just hold on, because bad times don't last. What's meant to be will work out well and everything will be fine again.

I just wish more people could have told this to Jonghyun.

I was right in front of them when they sung this song. I was crying, and still can't believe to see them up close singing one of my fave song...
