Nightmare
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and dream a dream girl
Come and dream a dream girl
Come and dream a dream girl
Come and dream a dream girl
Right here right now
그 날카로운 입술로 날 베어내
차가워진 눈동자 바라본다
뜨거웠던 모든 것 재가 된다
Come and dream a dream girl
짙어지는 shadow
Come and dream a dream girl
잠이 든 sunlight
Nightmare
내 모든 걸 앗은 뱀파이어
잡히지 않을 만큼 넌 이미 멀어져 가
왜 돌아보지 않아
You nightmare
널 가질 수 없는 I'm on fire
주먹 속 모래처럼 자꾸 넌 흩어져 가
아니라고 왜 말하지 않아
So dangerous
You're so dangerous
그 달콤한 키스로 날 지운다
대답 없는 질문만 남긴 채로
독이 든 사과처럼 유혹한다
아름다운 향기로 help me tonight
Come and dream a dream girl
끝이 없는 추락
Come and dream a dream girl
I see the moonlight
차라리 나 피할 수 없다면
두 눈을 감고 널 꿈꾼다
Nightmare
내 눈을 멀게 한 뱀파이어
감출 수 없을 만큼
널 향해 소리쳐 불러본다
난 열리지 않는 널 두드린다
You nightmare (so deep in love)
널 생각만해도 난 higher
어둠이 찾아와
내게 너를 속삭인다
다가와서 날 너의 품으로 help me
Come and dream a dream girl
Come and dream a dream girl (yeah yeah yeah)
Come and dream a dream girl (yeah yeah yeah)
Come and dream a dream girl
Come to me 꿈 속으로
Watch out baby don't go
다시 내게로 save me
Nightmare
내 모든 걸 앗은 뱀파이어
잡히지 않을 만큼 넌 이미 멀어져 가
왜 돌아보지 않아
You nightmare
널 가질 수 없는 I'm on fire
주먹 속 모래처럼 자꾸 넌 흩어져가
아니라고 왜 너는 왜 you're so dangerous
The lyrics to SHINee's song "Nightmare" are a haunting reflection on a relationship gone wrong. The song addresses a seemingly manipulative and dangerous partner, referred to as a "vampire," who has caused the singer to lose everything. The chorus repeats the phrase "You nightmare," emphasizing the negative impact this partner has had on them.
The lyrics use metaphorical language to describe the effect of the partner's actions. The line "그 날카로운 입술로 날 베어내" (with sharp lips, you cut me open) and "I see the moonlight/차라리 나 피할 수 없다면/두 눈을 감고 널 꿈꾼다" (if I can't escape you, I'll dream of you with my eyes closed) both suggest that the partner's words and actions are harmful and overwhelming.
