I Want You
SHINee (샤이니) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
까만 선율이 번져
나의 너를 그려내
잊혀졌던 memory
조각 같은 눈물이
되감아 지길 바래
두 눈 감아 oh na na na
꿈이라도 좋으니
널 불러 oh na na na
긴 시간 넘어 다시 이곳으로
I want you
눈앞에 니가 다시 다가와
그때와 다른 결말이 오길 (oh)
I can't let you go
매일 나 그려왔던 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
I can't let you go
끝없이 기다려온 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
푸르게 번진 이 장면 속에
세상엔 오직 너와 나뿐
눈을 봐도 알 수 있겠지
이제 네 맘 놓치지 않기
달콤히 속삭인 노래들과 It's you (you, you)
날 깨우면 oh na na na (oh na na)
저무는 내 미소가
현실을 또 마주해 (또 다시 난)
다시 난 oh na na na
이 꿈결 속에 잠길 수 있다면
I want you
눈앞에 니가 다시 다가와
그때와 다른 결말이 오길 (oh)
I can't let you go
매일 나 그려왔던 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
I can't let you go
끝없이 기다려온 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
잔을 가득 채운 기억이 넘쳐
흐르는 밤 oh na na na
희미해진 경계 기억 너머 내게 와
'Cause I
I want you
더 깊이 내게 밀려온 맘이
파도처럼 날 삼켜버려도
I can't let you go
한 번 더 눈 감으면 다시 니 곁에 (다시 니 곁에)
I said I want you
Oh na na na (yeah)
Oh na na na
I can't let you go (can't let you go)
내일 나 눈을 뜨면 너의 품속에
I, I said I want you (oh na na na)
These lyrics convey a longing for someone who has been forgotten and wants them back. The first verse describes being immersed in a white sea and surrounded by a dark melody, trying to recall a lost memory. It expresses the desire to rewind time and bring back the tears that have turned into fragments. Closing the eyes and dreaming, even if it's just a dream, is desired. The repeated phrase "oh na na na" adds emphasis and emotion to the longing.
The chorus expresses the strong desire to have this person in front of them again, hoping for a different outcome than before. It reflects the inability to let go and the daily anticipation of the moment they have longed for. It reinforces the repeated phrase "I want you" as a declaration of their longing and unwillingness to give up.
The second verse describes a scene that is vividly spread out, where only the two individuals exist in the world. It implies that even by looking into each other's eyes, they can understand each other without words, emphasizing the importance of not losing each other's hearts. The sweet whispers of songs become a symbol of their bond.
The bridge talks about the singer waking up and facing reality, where their fading smile meets the world again. However, they express the wish to be able to go back to sleep and stay in this dream if it means being able to be with the person they long for.
Overall, these lyrics express a deep longing for someone who was once lost and now desired again. There is a strong desire to rewrite the past and create a different ending. The repetition of "I want you" and the phrases "oh na na na" emphasize the intensity of this longing and the reluctance to let go.
