You Never Know
THE ALBUM - BlackPink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
밤은 왜 더 어두울까
It keeps bringing me down down down
Hmm 모두 너무 쉽게 내뱉던 말
아마 들리겠지 머지않아
I've heard enough, I've heard enough
Of the things that I'm not
온 세상이 바뀌어가도
아직 나는 그대론 걸
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
그때 그대로
그때 그대로
내 매일을 춤추던
처음 그 자리에 남아 있는 걸
But you'll never know unless you walk in my shoes
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
It's easier to judge me than to believe
깊이 숨겼던 낡은 생각들
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine baby
You know they ain't got a shot on me
Sunday night I've been swallowed by my bed
I've been all over my head
Wonderin' if I gotta trying pretend
나도 잘 모르는 날
누가 알아주길 기대하는 내 모습을 찾을까 두려워
저 빛이 더 밝아질수록
내 그림자도 길어지는데
너무 눈이 부셔올 때
난 뒤를 볼 수 있을까
온 세상이 바뀌어가도
아직 나는 그대론 걸
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
그때 그대로
그때 그대로
내 매일을 춤추던
처음 그 자리에 남아 있는 걸
But you'll never know unless you walk in my shoes
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
It's easier to judge me than to believe
깊이 숨겼던 낡은 생각들
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine baby
You know they ain't got a shot on me
가라앉으면 안 돼
나도 잘 알아
땅만 보는 채론 날 수 없어
구름 건너편엔 아직 밝은 해
내가 그려왔던 그림 속에
찢어버린 곳들까지
다 비워내고 웃을 수 있게
보기 싫었던 나와 마주할래
난 기억해
So I'll be okay
파란 내 방 한가득 꽃이 피게
I'll always be waiting
But you'll never know unless you walk in my shoes
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
It's easier to judge me than to believe
깊이 숨겼던 낡은 생각들
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine baby
You know they ain't got a shot on me
The song “You Never Know” by BLACKPINK is about the struggles that come with being a celebrity and being judged constantly by people who don’t know the real you. The sentiment of the song is about how people can only see what they want to see, and they aren’t interested in knowing the real you. The lyrics are an insight into how it feels for the members of BLACKPINK, to be constantly judged, and being in the public eye, and how they struggle to maintain their identity and sense of self.
The song starts with the lyrics “On the days I forced a smile, why does the night become particularly dark?” which highlights the struggles of being a celebrity and how it takes a toll on their mental health. The lyrics “'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see, it's easier to judge me than to believe” emphasizes how people tend to make assumptions based on appearances and how they are hesitant to see things from a different perspective.
Despite these struggles, the song ends on a positive note, encouraging people to stay true to themselves, even when people are judging them. The lyrics “I'll always be waiting” and “I'ma shine baby, You know they ain't got a shot on me” motivate the listeners to keep going despite what people might say about them.
In summary, the song “You Never Know” by BLACKPINK is a candid insight into the struggles of being a celebrity and how people tend to judge them based on appearances rather than seeing the real them. It is a powerful reminder to stay true to yourself despite the judgments of others.

My thoughts are running wild

Can I still look back?
가라앉으면 안 돼
I must not give up

I know it too well
땅만 보는 채론 날 수 없어
I can't keep my eyes on the ground
구름 건너편엔 아직 밝은 해
Beyond the clouds, the sun is still shining bright
내가 그려왔던 그림 속에
In the picture that I have painted in my mind

Even the parts that have been torn apart
다 비워내고 웃을 수 있게
I will empty them all out and smile
보기 싫었던 나와 마주할래
I will face the part of me that I didn't like
난 기억해
I remember
So I'll be okay
So I'll be fine
파란 내 방 한가득 꽃이 피게
My blue room will be filled with flowers
I'll always be waiting
I will always be waiting

Jennie the longest trainee among Blackpink members with 6 years of training. She has seen a lot of trainees left and that motivates her more to continue achieving her dreams. Jennie even tried to make a group by taking charge of it in order to help the other trainees not to give up. Her debut has been delayed many times. Jennie has been the one who welcomed, guided, and helped her other members when they came to YG.
Jisoo: When I first enter the company, JENNIE was the first one I saw. She was really quiet, listened to music, and rap while sitting down. So my first impression was she is a cold person. But as time goes by, she started talking with aegyo and I was like" Huh what is this? She makes my heart flutter"
JENNIE is younger than me in age, but as trainees, she's my senior, and I relied on her and she took care of me a lot. And though many years have passed things haven't changed from before and she still takes care of me now.
Lisa: First of all, this unni (JENNIE) is the first unnie I saw in our team and she's always there when I'm having a hard time or to teach me like like (mental breakdown) I can't do this! Like continously, if I think about that time Unni really like..she taught me how to sing and taught me other things like how to manage my private life.
Jennie also the only one who spoke to Lisa in English during trainee days eventhough it's prohibited.
Rosé: When I first got into the company and open the door, I did not know what to do. And JENNIE unnie come to me and talk to me like a sister in english. She explained to me a lot of things. I think she gave me a lot of tips. Thanks to her, I was able to have a good first day. She helped me a lot.
Rosé also said JENNIE taught her the basics of dancing back then as trainees. She went to Jennie whenever she needs advice. Jennie has so much survival experience & a very hardworking girl who has gone to many ups & downs that she can write a whole Book about the Survival for YG Trainees.
Jennie worked hard to where she is at right now. She earned her titles, her groups' positions, her song, her success because she worked hard, never gave up, and remained strong even though she's been hated since pre debut and until now for all dumb reasons. She's been patient despite her debut delays many times and several years.
"There were many times when I almost made a debut. When you have to practice again when you almost made it"- JENNIE
