Everything is You
Sweden Laundry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
그리움 같아 자꾸 내가 아픈 게
다 지워내면 우린 그냥 남인데
왜 애써 널 떠올리는지
다 거지 같아 혼자 눈을 뜨는 게
네가 싫을 만큼 나는 많이 힘든데
아무렇지 않게 웃고 떠들고 일해
내가 가진 기억은 오래된 필름처럼
흐릿해지다가도 다시 선명해져
차라리 잘라내면 맘이 편해질까요
그게 없어도 내가 나로 존재할까요
아니 아닐 것 같아
다 이별 같아 매일 내가 하는 게
눈뜰 때부터 잠들기 전 모든 게
밥을 먹는 게 옷을 갈아입는 게
그게 뭐라고 널 떠올리는지
내가 가진 기억은 오래된 필름처럼
흐릿해지다가도 다시 선명해져
차라리 잘라내면 맘이 편해질까요
그게 없어도 내가 나로 존재할까요
아니 아닐 것 같아
그때의 내가
이해를 바라지 않았었다면
우리에게도 다른 결말이 있었을까요
The lyrics of "Everything is You" by Sweden Laundry revolve around the bittersweet emotions and memories of a lost love. The opening lines suggest that the memories of the relationship feel like love and longing. The chorus reflects on the difficulty of moving on from the past and the ongoing struggle to reconcile the hurt and pain of the breakup with the desire to recall cherished moments with the loved one. The final lines suggest that the singer regrets not having understood their partner's perspective when they were together and questions whether things could have gone differently.
The repeated lines "내가 가진 기억은 오래된 필름처럼 / 흐릿해지다가도 다시 선명해져" ("My memories are like an old film / fuzzy but becoming clear again") paint a visual metaphor of faded memories that can be restored with an intensity that almost seems too much to bear. The writer seems to be struggling with reconciling the pain of the lost love while still holding on to the happier moments.
Overall, "Everything Is You" evokes the feeling that the loss of love is not easily overcome. The writer is struggling with the remnants of a past relationship that leaves their mark on every aspect of the person's life. The song speaks to the universal experience of longing for something that cannot be regained, of wanting to move on but finding the memories too vivid to ignore.

다 사랑 같아 기억 안에 남은 게
It feels like love, what remains in my memories
그리움 같아 자꾸 내가 아픈 게
It feels like longing, I keep feeling hurt
다 지워내면 우린 그냥 남인데
If we erase everything, we become just strangers
왜 애써 널 떠올리는지
Why do I try so hard to remember you?
다 거지 같아 혼자 눈을 뜨는 게
It feels like I'm a beggar, waking up alone
네가 싫을 만큼 나는 많이 힘든데
I'm struggling so much that I almost hate you
아무렇지 않게 웃고 떠들고 일해
I smile, chat and work as if nothing's wrong
미칠 것 같아 그걸 견디는 게
It feels like I'm going insane, but I endure it
내가 가진 기억은 오래된 필름처럼
The memories I have are like old films
흐릿해지다가도 다시 선명해져
While they fade, they become clear again
차라리 잘라내면 맘이 편해질까요
Would my heart feel better if I cut them away?
그게 없어도 내가 나로 존재할까요
Even if they're gone, can I exist as myself?
아니 아닐 것 같아
No, I don't think so
다 이별 같아 매일 내가 하는 게
Everything I do everyday feels like a breakup
눈뜰 때부터 잠들기 전 모든 게
From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep, everything
밥을 먹는 게 옷을 갈아입는 게
Eating, changing my clothes
그게 뭐라고 널 떠올리는지
What do they have to do with remembering you?
그때의 내가
The person I was back then
이해를 바라지 않았었다면
If I didn't ask for understanding
우리에게도 다른 결말이 있었을까요
Would there have been a different ending for us?
