Stranger
SHINee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

낯선 그 얼굴로 다가왔던
첫눈에 모든 걸 빼앗겼던
난 변해버렸어 넌 모두 바꿔버렸어
오 랄랄랄랄랄랄 랄랄랄라

복잡한 내 머리 속
어지럽게 흔들려도 oh oh
그 틈 사이 딱 하나
반짝거리는 건 바로 너 oh oh

누굴 위해 사는지 뭐를 위해 가는지
너무 선명한 너무 확실한 그런 콘트롤
너만 알아줘 그것뿐이면 돼
미치도록 원했던 한 사람 너

Can't get you out of my head 널 원해
천 번을 생각해봐도 그래
마지막의 끝에 누가 널 지키는지 봐
오 랄랄랄랄랄랄 랄랄랄라

머린 차가워져 가슴은 더욱 뜨거워져 oh oh
시계 태엽 돌아가듯 끝은 정해져 있어 oh oh

누굴 위해 사는지 뭐를 위해 가는지
너무 선명한 너무 확실한 그런 콘트롤
너만 알아줘 그것뿐이면 돼
미치도록 원했던 한 사람 너

Can't get you out of my head 널 원해
천 번을 생각해봐도 그래
마지막의 끝에 누가 널 지키는지 봐
오 랄랄랄랄랄랄 랄랄랄라

어두운 거리에 불이 켜져 오고
다시 너를 찾아 헤매고 있어
낯선 어둠만 손에 남아있어

내 눈을 스쳐 간 뒷모습에
다음이란 기약 없는 말 뿐 (ho)
앞뒤가 다른 모습에도 가급적
증오에 취해 시선 고정
폭풍 속을 마주치는 너에게 맞춰 본능이 시키는 대로 널 찾아

낯선 그 얼굴로 다가왔던
첫눈에 모든걸 빼앗겼던
난 변해버렸어 넌 모두 바꿔버렸어
오 랄랄랄랄랄랄 랄랄랄라

Can't get you out of my head 널 원해
천 번을 생각해봐도 그래
마지막의 끝에 누가 널 지키는지 봐
오 랄랄랄랄랄랄 랄랄랄라





낯선 그 얼굴이 더 이상 낯설지 않아져 oh oh
