String Quartet No. 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

이 살가죽 속엔 니가 있어
넌 말해줘도 모를 거야
그런 자태를 가졌으니
눈은 니 구두보다 높을 거야
조금 새삼스럽지만
결국 다 동물이란 생각을 해
내 홍채가 빛나는 건
심장에 압박이 와서 그래

이유를 굳이 말해야 해
이쯤 되면 알아야 해
넌 내 몸과 맘을 거꾸로 뒤집어
당장은 아니라고 해도
니 곁에 누가 있다 해도 yeah

내가 셋 셀테니 넌 딱 넘어와 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three
내가 셋 셀테니 넌 딱 넘어와 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three

이 숨소리 끝엔 니가 있어
넌 말해줘도 모를 거야 (you never know, girl)
이 수트와 자존심이
너 하나 때문에 구겨진 걸 알아 (yeah, you heard my cry)

식은땀이 흐르는 건
남자들 널 훔쳐봐서 그래 (널 훔쳐봐서 그래)
머릴 자꾸 넘기는 건
너라는 바람이 불어 그래

이걸 왜 내가 말해야 해
이쯤 되면 알아서 해
넌 내 속까지 밖으로 다 뒤집어
당장은 아니라고 해도
니 곁에 누가 있다 해도 yeah

내가 셋 셀테니 넌 딱 넘어와 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three
내가 셋 셀테니 넌 딱 넘어와 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three

It goes one, two, three 셋을 셌더니
격이 다른 아가씨들 발을 멈추지
Hot damn (hot damn)
Hot damn (hot damn)
오직 난 너를 원해 yeah yeah

It goes one, two, three 셋을 세어보니
시크하던 니 눈빛이 나를 향하지
Hot damn (hot damn)
Hot damn (hot damn)

하나 둘 셋 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three




내가 셋 셀테니 넌 딱 넘어와 (one, two, three!)
One, two, three

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to String Quartet No. 5's song III appear to be a message of love and devotion from one person to another. The opening lines suggest that the person singing is someone who loves the other person deeply, and who will be there to catch them whenever they fall.

The chorus of the song consists of an appeal for the object of the singer's affection to return, blending the individual and global themes together. The singer implies that the absence of the other is almost akin to the absence of love in general.


Overall, the lyrics to III by String Quartet No. 5 express the powerful impact that love can have on an individual and on the world as a whole, and the frustration felt when it is absent.
