Why So Serious?
SHINee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
자정 막 지난 새벽
진흙 속 눈 뜬 무언가
모두 나를 무서워했지 (oh yeah)
앞으로 뻗은 두 팔
난 살아있는 워킹데드
그 숨은 차가웠지
숨 쉬는 게 지겨워질 쯤
그 때 그대 발견
So shocked
Why so serious
로미오와 줄리엣
슬픈 러브스토리가 아 아니야
다 잘 될 거야
결국 해피 엔딩을 아는
넌 연애소설 매니악
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장
엔진을 renew
핏기 없던 나의 입술이
다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
Baby 날 어떻게 생각해
Baby 어떻게 생각해
난 무섭지 않아요 so get in, get in
이 긴 어둠이 언제부터였는지
기억도 안 나네 대충 백 년 전
그냥 그댈 본 날부터 시작이다
이제부턴 그게 더 중요하니까
이런 좀비 영화
어디서 본 것 같은데
Oh no 이건 특별해
비틀대는 걸음으로 걷자
그게 우리 사랑 방식
Why so serious
로미오와 줄리엣
슬픈 러브스토리가 아 아니야
다 잘 될 거야
결국 해피 엔딩을 아는
넌 연애소설 매니악
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장
엔진을 renew
핏기 없던 나의 입술이
다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
Baby 날 어떻게 생각해
Baby 어떻게 생각해
우린 다르지 않아
벌써 닮아가고 있는걸
해 지면 나와 거리를 허우적대며 헤매
뇌 따윈 없이 보이겠지만
다들 고민 있겠지 huh
See 휴머니즘 그런 거 몰라
그냥 널 사랑하게 돼
내 피는 다시 뜨거워져
그 모든 이유는 그대 come on
다음 씬의 클라이막스 막 시작 돼
이 음악이 더욱 더 커지면
우린 살아있어 tonight
Why so serious
로미오와 줄리엣
슬픈 러브스토리가 아 아니야
다 잘 될 거야
결국 해피 엔딩을 아는
넌 연애소설 매니악
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장
엔진을 renew (renew)
핏기 없던 나의 입술이
다시 붉은 컬러 루즈 (붉은 컬러 루즈)
Baby 날 어떻게 생각해
Baby 어떻게 생각해
우린 다르지 않아
벌써 닮아가고 있는걸
The lyrics to SHINee's song Why So Serious? tells a story of a zombie who awakens in the middle of the night, scaring those around them. The zombie then goes through a transformation, becoming revitalized and restored, with their heart and lips rejuvenated. The chorus features the repeated line "Why So Serious," questioning why one would be serious in a world where even zombies can find love and happiness. The lyrics also refer to the classic story of Romeo and Juliet, but reject the idea of a tragic love story, instead expressing hope for a happy ending.
The theme of the song is centered around the idea of finding love, even in the face of darkness and obstacles. Through the character of the zombie, the message of the song is that even those who seem lost and hopeless can find a way to revive their heart and restore their spirit. The chorus, with its catchy melody and repeated refrain, encourages listeners to let go of their seriousness and embrace the possibility of finding love and happiness.

자정 막 지난 새벽
It's just past midnight
진흙 속 눈 뜬 무언가
Something opened its eyes in the mud
모두 나를 무서워했지
Everyone was scared of me
앞으로 뻗은 두 팔
Two arms stretched forward
난 살아있는 워킹데드
I'm a living walking dead
그 숨은 차가웠지
That breath was cold
숨 쉬는 게 지겨워질 쯤
Just when breathing gets tiring
그 때 그대 발견
That's when I discovered you
So shocked
So shocked
Why So Serious
Why so serious?
로미오와 줄리엣
Romeo and Juliet
슬픈 러브스토리가 아 아니야
It's not a sad love story
다 잘 될 거야
Everything will be fine
결국 해피 엔딩을 아는
In the end, knowing the happy ending
넌 연애소설 매니악
You're a romantic novel maniac
먼지만 풀썩대던 심장
A heart that was covered in dust
엔진을 Re New
Engine being re-newed
핏기 없던 나의 입술이
My lifeless lips
다시 붉은 컬러 루즈
Becoming red lip color again
Baby 날 어떻게 생각해
Baby, what do you think of me?
Baby 어떻게 생각해
Baby, what do you think?
난 무섭지 않아요
I'm not scared
So get in get in
So get in, get in
이 긴 어둠이 언제부터였는지
When did this long darkness start?
기억도 안 나네 대충 백 년 전
I can't even remember, roughly a hundred years ago
그냥 그댈 본 날부터 시작이다
It's been starting from the day I saw you
이제부턴 그게 더 중요하니까
From now on, that's more important
이런 좀비 영화
This kind of zombie movie
어디서 본 것 같은데
It feels like I've seen it somewhere
Oh no 이건 특별해
Oh no, this is special
비틀대는 걸음으로 걷자
Let's walk with staggering steps
그게 우리 사랑 방식
That's our way of love
우린 다르지 않아
We're not different
벌써 닮아가고 있는걸
We are already becoming similar
해 지면 나와 거리를
When the sun sets, I walk the streets
허우적대며 헤매
Staggering and wandering
뇌 따윈 없이 보이겠지만
It may seem like I don't have a brain
다들 고민 있겠지
Everyone must have worries
See 휴머니즘 그런 거 몰라
See, I don't know about things like humanism
그냥 널 사랑하게 돼
I just end up loving you
내 피는 다시 뜨거워져
My blood runs hot again
그 모든 이유는 그대
All the reasons are because of you
Come on
Come on
다음 씬의 클라이막스 막 시작 돼
The next scene's climax is just starting
이 음악이 더욱 더 커지면
If this music gets bigger
우린 살아있어 Tonight
We're alive tonight
