SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
네 주위를 맴돌고 있던 밤
그 많은 시간, 긴 헤맴 속에
잡히지 않아 넌 공기 같아
조금씩 무너져 가네
너와 나 사이 걸쳐진 벽
It's like a shift in you and I (uh uh uh)
가까이 와봐 (oh)
마음이 보여 (oh)
이대로 너와 (너와)
어디로든 도망치고 싶은 이 밤
네 눈빛이 달라
특별해진 분위기를 느껴
너와 나, 차원을 넘어섰어
뭔가 시작되는 걸 알아
I saw you from the beginning
네 주위를 맴돌고 있던 밤 (있던 밤)
그 많은 시간, 긴 헤맴 속에
잡히지 않아 넌 공기 같아
조금씩 무너져 가네
너와 나 사이 걸쳐진 벽
It's like a shift in you and I (uh uh uh)
느끼는 건 똑같은 걸 둘이어서
Get it together (oh)
Get it together (oh)
Run away with me (with me)
우리 사이 작던 세계는 변화했어
서둘지 말기로 해
Girl, the choice is up to you (uh)
멈추지 않기로 해
둘 다 알잖아 뭘 원하는지 woo, woo, woo, oh
Shift in you and I
Shift in, shift in
조금씩 무너져 가네
너와 나 사이 걸쳐진 벽
It's like a shift in you and I
느끼는 건 똑같은 걸 둘이어서
가까이 와봐 (oh)
마음이 보여 (oh)
이대로 너와 (with me)
어디로든 도망치고 싶은 이 밤
The lyrics of "Shift" by SHINee describe the feeling of a shift in a relationship, from a feeling of uncertainty and distance to a new level of closeness and intimacy. The singer has been circling around their partner, unable to catch or hold onto them, feeling like they are as elusive as the air. However, as they get closer, they feel a change in the atmosphere, and it becomes apparent that both of them are feeling the same way. The wall that once stood between them seems to be crumbling, implying that they are breaking down the barriers that were preventing them from connecting on a deeper level.
As the song progresses, the singer urges their partner to come closer, emphasizing that they can see their true feelings, and they both want to escape together to somewhere else. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has gone beyond a physical and emotional level, crossing into a spiritual or transcendental one. The song finishes with the singer encouraging their partner to take the leap of faith and run away with them, as the old world they once knew has transformed, and a new one has taken its place.
Overall, "Shift" is a powerful love song that depicts the beauty of moving past barriers and finding a new level of intimacy with a partner. The lyrics are poetic, full of imagery and emotion, and are delivered through the soulful voices of SHINee.
