Colorful
SHINee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, colorful, colorful

Oh 왜 표정이 안 좋아
하늘이 노랗게 변해
다시 날 보고 웃어주면
세상은 다시 파랗게 번져

어디서 적색경보 울려
꼼짝 말고 서서 눈칠 살펴
그러다 민트빛 네 미소에
세상은 물들어가

눈이 마주친 (마주친) 순간 (그 순간)
나의 심장은 다시 뛰고
네 (네 눈 속) 눈 속 내가 빛을 찾아가

내가 잘 못 본 걸까
너의 손이 닿는 순간 내 주변 모든 것이 물들어
하얗게 차갑게만 얼던 세상에
내 눈이 멀어가던 그 순간
You make my life colorful

I think you're magical hey
I think you're wonderful yeah
너로 인해 내 맘은 colorful
까맣게 어둡기만 하던 세상에
내 눈을 감으려던 그 순간
You make my life colorful

I can see your spectrum
Kick drum 보다 쿵쿵대는
심장이 네게 미끄럼 타듯 가
Be my favorite color pink
Give me your wink
내게 너란 색을 덮자
저 무지티 위 무지개를 덮어
노을 진 바다 위 색을 입혀
네가 담은 풍경은 무엇보다 따스해
지금 널 느끼고 온 바람을마주해

눈이 마주친 (마주친) 순간 (그 순간)
나의 심장은 다시 뛰고
네 (네 눈 속) 눈 속 내가 빛을 찾아가

내가 잘 못 본 걸까
너의 손이 닿는 순간 내 주변 모든 것이 물들어
하얗게 차갑게만 얼던 세상에
내 눈이 멀어가던 그 순간
You make my life colorful

I think you're magical hey
I think you're wonderful yeah
너로 인해 내 맘은 colorful
까맣게 어둡기만 하던 세상에
내 눈을 감으려던 그 순간
You make my life colorful, yeah (colorful, yeah colorful)
Come on, haha, oh yeah oh yeah, let's go, three, two, one
Make me colorful

내가 잘 못 본 걸까
너의 손을 잡은 순간 내 세상 모든 것이 물들어
이렇게 초록향기 짙은 세상에
두 손을 마주 잡은 이 순간 (두 손을 마주 잡은 이 순간)

내가 잘 못 본 걸까
너의 손이 닿는 순간 내 주변 모든 것이 물들어
하얗게 차갑게만 얼던 세상에
내 눈이 멀어가던 그 순간
You make my life colorful

I think you're magical hey
I think you're wonderful yeah
너로 인해 내 맘은 colorful
까맣게 어둡기만 하던 세상에
내 눈을 감으려던 그 순간




You make my life colorful
Make my life colorful

Overall Meaning

"Colorful" is a song by South Korean boy band SHINee in their sixth album, "The Story of Light: Epilogue." The song is a joyful celebration of the colors that the person they love brings into their life. As the first chorus says, "Hey, colorful, colorful," they describe how their world has changed into a colorful and bright one. In the first verse, they sing about how their lover's smile and presence can transform everything in it. They mention even the sky turning blue again, as it was before they felt down. The second verse talks about how they feel dazzled and hypnotized by their lover's presence, how they feel like their heart skips a beat when they look into their eyes.


One interesting aspect of the song is how the lyrics use a lot of color and sensory language, such as mint, pink, white, and green scents, the feel of the wind, and so on. It creates an uplifting and playful atmosphere that reflects the song's overall message. Another interesting fact is that, unlike many SHINee's songs that have a dance-heavy choreography, "Colorful" has a more relaxed and playful one that mimics the joyful emotions of the song.
