Love Letter
Seventeen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

이른 아침부터
내겐 너무나 어색한 mmm
종이와 펜을 꺼내 들어
깊이 삼켜 놨던 말을 담아내
글씨가 예쁘지 못해
Oh 실망은 말아 줘
조금 서툴러도 눈감아 줘
이 쪽지에 차곡차곡 너와 내가
우리 얘길 써 내려 가려 해

너와 날 사랑 쪽지에 다 담아서 (throw it in the air) oh oh
텅 빈 하늘에 올리면
바람도 우릴 감쌀 거야
Ah ah ah ah 아팠던 날들이 지워질 수 있게 널 (throw it in the air) oh oh
널 꽉 안아 놓지 않을게
늘 니 옆에 있어 줄게

One, two, three

표현만큼 서툰 삐뚤삐뚤한 글씨가
걱정돼 밤새 고민해 쓴 내 맘을 가릴까
정성껏 표현해 봐도 표현이 안 돼
밤새 머리를 꽁꽁 싸매도
내 맘을 못 전해

넌 이런 고민하는 내 맘을 알까?
주머니 속에 쪽지는 언제 전할까?
무작정 다가가
니 앞에 서서 괜히 숨을 가다듬어
"손 좀 내밀어 줄래? 자 이거"

이 쪽지에 차곡차곡 너와 내가
우리 얘길 써 내려 가려 해 woo woah ah

너와 날 사랑 쪽지에 다 담아서 (throw it in the air) oh oh
텅 빈 하늘에 올리면
바람도 우릴 감쌀 거야 oh oh oh
아팠던 날들이 지워질 수 있게 널 (throw it in the air) oh oh
널 꽉 안아 놓지 않을게
늘 니 옆에 있어 줄게

난 아직까지도
너에게 끝내 하지 못했던
그 많았던 말들이 남았지만
두 팔을 크게 벌려
저 하늘을 걸고서 맹세해
널 두고 도망가지 않아

너와 날 사랑 쪽지에 다 담아서
Mmm 저 하늘에 올리면
You know I can't get any better than this babe (oh oh)
아팠던 날들이 지워질 수 있게 널 oh oh
널 꽉 안아 놓지 않을게
늘 니 옆에 있어 줄게

너와 날 사랑 쪽지에 다 담아서 (throw it in the air) oh oh
텅 빈 하늘에 올리면
바람도 우릴 감쌀 거야 oh oh oh
아팠던 날들이 지워질 수 있게 널 (throw it in the air) oh oh




널 꽉 안아 놓지 않을게
늘 니 옆에 있어 줄게

Overall Meaning

The song Love Letter by Seventeen is about confessing one's feelings through a love letter. The lyrics first describe how the writer feels awkward starting the letter but is determined to put into writing what they have been holding back. They are worried that their handwriting isn't good, but weep it off and hope that the recipient won't be disappointed. The chorus suggests that the writer has put all their love for the other person in the letter, and if they were to throw it in the air, the wind would surround them both, bringing them closer together and erasing all the painful moments they've been through. The second verse talks about how difficult it is to express feelings through writing, and how the author worries about how the recipient will receive the letter. The bridge talks about being unable to get the words out in person and how nerve-wracking confessing to someone can be. Finally, the writer pledges their love to the recipient and promises never to leave them.

Honestly, I miss this. The times where Seventeen was a young boy group. Now that they've all grown up, I feel like they've become more mature. Of course I'm glad and happy with who they are now. But these are definitely nostalgic.






...
I say despite the fact I'm technically a new carat who came in Thanks era.



@mlo5046

Guys, I have a confession to make.
I am in love with Seventeen's music. I mean yeah, I love the members, but their songs are a whole different topic.
Before discovering Seventeen, I've always thought that songs that would touch me on a pretty deep, emotional level only came once in a while. That's why I treasure those songs. An example would be BTS' 'For You' (which is in Japanese).

One day for no specific reason, I decided to marathon on Seventeen. I've been familiar of them since last year, but have not really gotten that into the group.

GUYS, their album, 'love and letter' was legit the first Kpop album to ever have me love every song on the tracklist. Seriously. It's the first album that makes me want to sit and down and play the entire thing on repeat without having to think of the occasion. Just omg.

I'm writing this here because I'm in the hopes of getting my message sent out to both Seventeen and Pledis. I just wanna say that you guys are doing an awesome job. It's hard not to get intimidated by other groups and be tempted to change your style just to be at par with them. But seriously, Seventeen is Seventeen, and this group is making a name for itself just by making such awesome music and choreographies. Keep doing you, guys! The boys at Seventeen never fail to make my day :)

@meshers

@@elipeace4512 Boom Boom?

@elipeace4512

​@@meshers No, I mean... Something creepy and dark! Like... don't know if you will be mad if I say this.. but Carats are nice so~~ Something like VIXX concept. Jekyll n' Hide is a good example! I literally took some hours to imagine which parts would be for who and how would they perform the choreography! But... I don't know if I can see Woozi with a creepy look... to me he's so cute! No matter what he seems cute and nice!
