BEHIND THE MASK
TWICE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

뱉은 숨을 마신 뒤 한숨만 남겨뒀지
네가 나를 떠난 뒤 오늘만 살게 됐지
Round and round and round
빌어 네가 뒤돌아보길
Sound that makes me high and low
날 보러 와줘

(날 보러 와줘)
만나도 문제겠지
어떤 말도 없겠으니
그저 마주한 채로

Behind the mask
Yeah who yeah
I wonder if you are smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you are crying
Let me ask in the mask
I'm lonely but if you are trying
Say yes woo yeah

빛을 내기 위해서 나는 다 타버렸어
오직 너를 위해서 내일도 버티겠어
Round and round and round
믿어 네가 날 알아보길
Sound that makes me high and low
기억해내길

눈물 젖어 있겠지 숨을 머금은 채로
나만 바라보면서

Behind the mask
Yeah who yeah
I wonder if you are smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you are crying
Let me ask in the mask
I'm lonely but if you are trying
Say yes woo yeah

내 이름을 불러줘 예전처럼 once again
거리를 좁혀줘 운명처럼 twice again
Rain and pain are falling down
But don't cry
It will dry
보고 싶어 조금 더 가까이 yeah
No matter what they say
Behind the text yeah who yeah

Behind the mask
Yeah who yeah
I wonder if you are smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you are crying
Let me ask in the mask
I'm lonely but if you are trying
Say yes woo yeah

내 이름을 불러줘 예전처럼 once again
거리를 좁혀줘 운명처럼 twice again





Behind the mask
Yeah who yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Behind the Mask" by TWICE explore the feeling of loneliness and the desire for connection. The first verse describes how the singer has been left feeling empty and has nothing left but their breath, while the chorus asks whether the person behind the mask is smiling or crying, longing to connect with them. The second verse talks about the sacrifices the singer has made for the person behind the mask, saying they have burned themselves out in order to light up the other person's life. The bridge holds onto hope that the other person will call out the singer's name and bring them closer together, even though it seems like the world is raining down against them.


Overall, the song seems to reflect the personal struggles of the members of TWICE who are in the public eye, while also being a message of hope and connection to their listeners. The mask is used as a symbol for the walls people build up to protect themselves, and the song encourages the listener to see beyond that mask and connect with the true person underneath.

Behind the mask, I wonder what's really going on.

Mina's deep voice really hits different
Her voice is soothing and mesmerizing

rossana scarati

Low voice and deep voice are different. She may have a low or soft voice, but not forced deep

SNSD give me TWICE to GFriend from ITZY for Æ

@rossana scarati Seriously? Her voice so deep in the song "Make Me Go" (More& More album)
