In My Room
SHINee [샤이니] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

잠들지 않는 밤에 눈을 감아
그녀를 떠올린다
아무것도 몰랐던 내가 너무 미워서
불을 키고 방을 둘러본다
희미하게 밝아오는
두 눈이 멈춘 곳
버리지 못했던 생일선물
그리고 너, 그 모든 것

'Cause you were my sun, the moon
내 전부였던 너
내 방에 있는 모든 것들이
널 그리워하나 봐

널 위해 찾다 지쳐서
널 잠시 잊어도
숨겨놓은 우리의 추억이
가득 남아
'Cause you're still in my room

삶이라는 바다를 헤매다
잃어버렸던 꿈들이 wow wow
구석구석 녹아있는 책상서랍
그 속에 숨겨놓고 있던 너

먼지 쌓인 상자 속엔 바래진 사진과
어린 맘이 담긴 편지들
그리고 너, 그 모든 것

'Cause you were my sun, the moon
내 전부였던 너
내 방에 있는 모든 것들이
널 그리워하나 봐

널 위해 찾다 지쳐서
널 잠시 잊어도
숨겨놓은 우리의 추억이
가득 남아
'Cause you're still in my room

버리고 또 버려도 기억은
너를 다시 불러 놓고 yeah
내 앞에 앉아서 웃고 있는 너를 이곳에
가두려 하는데

'Cause you were my sun, the moon
내 전부였던 너
내 방에 있는 모든 것들이
널 그리워하나 봐

널 위해 찾다 지쳐서
널 잠시 잊어도
숨겨놓은 우리의 추억이

가득 남아
'Cause you're still in my room

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to SHINee's song "In My Room" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past relationship. The singer describes a sleepless night where they close their eyes and think about the person they used to be with. Feeling a mix of anger and regret for not knowing better back then, they light a fire and explore their room. In the dim light, they come across the birthday present they couldn't bear to throw away and all the memories associated with the person they miss.

The chorus emphasizes the significance of this past love, comparing them to the sun and the moon, symbolizing their importance and how they were the singer's everything. The line "내 방에 있는 모든 것들이 널 그리워하나 봐" (translates to "Everything in my room seems to miss you") shows how the remnants of their relationship, like pictures and letters hidden in dusty boxes and drawers, keep the memories and longing alive.

The lyrics further illustrate the struggle of moving on from this relationship. Even when trying to forget for a moment, the memories are still present, stored away and filling the room. The repetition of "널 위해 찾다 지쳐서" (translates to "Because I'm exhausted from searching for you") signifies the singer's efforts and exhaustion in trying to find closure or acceptance. Despite trying to let go, the memories are constantly reminding them of what they had and seem immoveable from their room.

Overall, "In My Room" captures the bittersweet emotions of reflecting on a past love, filled with regret, longing, and a struggle to move on. It portrays the lingering presence of memories and the difficulty of letting go.
