Scene
Sweden Laundry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
장난스럽게 웃어 보이던 네 표정도
우스운 모자를 쓴 너는
너무나도 아름다웠지
기억해 그날의 색깔
졸리운 눈을 부비며 기대던 모습도
달빛이 무색하게도 환한
여전히 눈을 감으면
그곳엔 니가 서있어
금방이라도 달려올 것만 같은데
눈을 뜨면 사라져버릴 그 온기가
겁이 나서 눈 뜰 수 없어
가만히 나를 보는 너
햇살보다도 그런 니가 눈이 부셔서
매일 더 나은 사람이 되길
기도하던 내가 있었지
여전히 눈을 감으면
그곳엔 니가 서있어
금방이라도 달려올 것만 같은데
눈을 뜨면 사라져버릴 그 온기가
겁이 나서 눈 뜰 수 없어
여전히 니가 없이
남겨진 세상은 버거워
계절 같은 거 내게만 어려운 걸까
이제는 나 모든 걸 혼자 배워야 해
겁이 나면 널 생각할게
The lyrics to Sweden Laundry's "Scene" evoke a nostalgic longing for a past moment that was beautiful and meaningful. The first stanza describes the physical environment of the moment, with vivid sensory details like the clear temperature of the day, the playful smile on the subject's face, and the unconventional hat they wore - all contributing to their singular beauty. The second stanza shifts to the emotional landscape, with the singer reminiscing on their anticipation and excitement to see the subject during that day, and how their presence made the moon seem dull by contrast. The chorus laments the fact that the warmth of that moment is now unattainable, with the singer feeling a sense of fear that they will never be able to experience that closeness again. The final stanza adds a melancholy note, where the singer reflects on the difficulty of moving on from the past to the present, and how they must now navigate the world alone without the comfort of their loved one's presence.
Overall, the song captures a poignant sentiment that many people can relate to - the way certain memories can feel so vivid and all-encompassing, and how the passage of time can make it feel like those experiences are forever out of reach. The wistful tone of the lyrics is enhanced by the gentle, understated melody and tender vocals, creating a sense of intimate longing that will resonate with anyone who's ever felt the bittersweet ache of nostalgia.

선명해 그날의 온도
The temperature of that day was crystal clear
장난스럽게 웃어보이던 네 표정도
Even your playful expressions looked like you were smiling
우스운 모자를 쓴 너는
You, wearing a funny hat
너무나도 아름다웠지
Were so beautiful
기억해 그날의 색깔
Remember the color of that day
졸리운 눈을 부비며 기대던 모습도
The way you pouted your drowsy eyes in anticipation
달빛이 무색하게도 환한
Even the moonlight paled in comparison to your radiance
너를 바라보던 날
The day I looked at you
여전히 눈을 감으면
When I close my eyes even now
그곳엔 니가 서있어
You're standing there
금방이라도 달려올 것만 같은데
It feels like you'll run to me any moment now
눈을 뜨면 사라져버릴 그 온기가
But the warmth that disappears when I open my eyes
겁이 나서 눈 뜰 수 없어
Scares me so much that I can't even open my eyes
가만히 나를 보는 너
You, looking at me quietly
햇살보다도 그런 니가 눈이 부셔서
You are so radiant that you outshine the sun
매일 더 나은 사람이 되길
I prayed for you to become a better person every day
기도하던 내가 있었지
I was the one who prayed
여전히 눈을 감으면
When I close my eyes even now
그곳엔 니가 서있어
You're standing there
금방이라도 달려올 것만 같은데
It feels like you'll run to me any moment now
눈을 뜨면 사라져버릴 그 온기가
But the warmth that disappears when I open my eyes
겁이 나서 눈 뜰 수 없어
Scares me so much that I can't even open my eyes
여전히 니가 없이
Even now without you
남겨진 세상은 버거워
The world left behind is heavy
계절같은 거 내게만 어려운 걸까
Why does it seem like only I find it hard like a season?
이제는 나 모든 걸 혼자 배워야 해
Now, I have to learn everything by myself
겁이 나면 널 생각할게
If I get scared, I'll think of you
