Atlantis
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
묻혔던 감각들을 깨워낸 듯한 그곳은
중력보다 강하게 또 아주 깊숙하게
헤어나지 못할 끝까지 끌어당겨 날
It's like we're underwater (we're underwater)
점점 깊어져 가
내 숨을 가져가
My love goes deep deep deep
깊어진 your ocean
짙어진 emotion
My love goes deep deep
파란 속에 내 온몸을 맡긴 채
너를 향해 yeah yeah yeah
좀 더 숨겨 놔 은밀히 다
어디든 가 I'm coming for you
파도치는 맘 버티지만
거칠수록 I'm falling for you
아찔하고 아득한 falling
I'll dive into you (woo yeah)
난 그대가 저기 빛나는 별이라며
고개를 들고 있었지만 그대 위치는 바닷속
늘 예상 밖의 her 그대와 나 I miss
믿을 수 없어도 나는 향해 Atlantis
We're under the water
가늠할 수 없는 심해와의 kiss
나를 휩쓸어 가
Uh huh uh huh
My love goes deep deep deep
깊어진 your ocean
짙어진 emotion (emotion)
My love goes deep deep
파란 속에 내 온몸을 맡긴 채
너를 향해 yeah yeah yeah
눈 앞에 널 만나 드디어 발견한
실재할지 몰랐던 그 감정
We're under the water 난 네 안에 잠겨
내 숨을 가져가
My love goes deep deep deep (deep deep oh)
깊어진 your ocean
짙어진 emotion (oh yeah)
My love goes deep deep (go deep for you)
파란 속에 내 온몸을 맡긴 채
너를 향해 yeah yeah yeah
It's like we are under water (yeah yeah)
Like we're under water
It's like we are under water (under water)
너를 향해 yeah yeah yeah
The lyrics to "Atlantis" by SHINee can be interpreted as a metaphor for diving deep into a relationship and opening up oneself to new emotions and sensations. The first verse talks about a moment when one discovers an unknown realm and awakens long-forgotten senses. The experience is described as being pulled deeper and deeper, stronger than gravity, into a place where the singer will be unable to escape from. The chorus reflects the intensity of the emotions felt as a result of this experience, with the singer feeling as if they are underwater, sinking deeper and deeper, while holding onto their lover.
The bridge of the song reflects a yearning to find the lover, who may be lost but is still worth searching for. The singer expresses how they may have expected something unexpected and even unbelievable, but they will still seek out their lover in Atlantis, despite the uncertainty of their existence. The second verse continues the theme of diving into deep waters, with the singer falling deeper for their lover and being swept away by the overwhelming emotions they feel. The final chorus repeats the feeling of being underwater and being completely immersed in love.
Overall, "Atlantis" is an evocative and poetic exploration of the depths of love and the new experiences that may come with opening oneself up to it.

As a Shawol of 13 years, I feel incredibly blessed that SHINee is still going strong. At every comeback they perform like it’s their debut stage, so fresh and full of energy.
Considering that I’m now part of the more “mature” side of the kpop audience, it feels really nice to still have a group to stan that personally feels more age appropriate for me 😂
@UnchainedM3L0dy
Same haha, we're the aunties and uncles of the kpop world now. 😅
@TheLegendOfLegends
I'm way older than Shinee members, but until I discovered Kpop a year ago, I didn't realize music enjoyment is age limited!
@sarahpepin4709
Agreed! I got into K-pop late last year but didn’t really settle in until I discovered SHINee and fell in love with their combination of maturity and freshness. Somehow they manage to pull off being mature while also being playful.
