SIGNAL
TWICE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trying to let you know
Sign을 보내 signal 보내
Hey, I must let you know
Sign을 보내 signal 보내

Sign을 보내 signal 보내
Sign을 보내 signal 보내
Sign을 보내 signal 보내
I must let you know

(Hey) sign을 보내 signal 보내
근데 전혀 안 통해
눈빛을 보내 눈치를 주네
근데 못 알아듣네
답답해서 미치겠다 정말
왜 그런지 모르겠다 정말
다시 한 번 힘을 내서
Sign을 보내 signal 보내

눈짓도 손짓도 어떤 표정도
소용이 없네 하나도 안 통해
눈치도 코치도 전혀 없나 봐
더 이상 어떻게 내 맘을 표현해

언제부턴가 난 네가 좋아
지기 시작했어 바보야
왜 이렇게도 내 맘을 몰라
언제까지 이렇게 둔하게
나를 친구로만 대할래
내가 원하는 건 그게 아닌데

Signal 보내 signal 보내
찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿
난 너를 원해 난 너를 원해
왜 반응이 없니
만날 때 마다 마음을 담아
찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿
기다리잖아 다 보이잖아
왜 알지 못하니

Trying to let you know
Sign을 보내 signal 보내
I must let you know
Sign을 보내 signal 보내

널 보며 웃으면 알아채야지
오늘만 몇 번째 널 보며 웃는데
자꾸 말을 걸면 좀 느껴야지
계속 네 곁에 머물러있는데

언제부턴가 난 네가 좋아
지기 시작했어 바보야
왜 이렇게도 내 맘을 몰라
언제까지 이렇게 둔하게
나를 친구로만 대할래
내가 원하는 건 그게 아닌데

Signal 보내 signal 보내
찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿
난 너를 원해 난 너를 원해
왜 반응이 없니
만날 때 마다 마음을 담아
찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿
기다리잖아 다 보이잖아
왜 알지 못하니

드르르드드 드르르드드

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TWICE's song SIGNAL revolve around a person trying to communicate their feelings to someone they are interested in. The use of "Sign" and "Signal" as metaphors for their attempts to get through to the person is a clever way to express feelings of frustration and confusion when their efforts seemingly go unnoticed. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Signal 보내" which roughly means "Send a signal" in Korean. The repetition of the phrase creates a sense of urgency and emphasizes the importance of the person getting their message across.


The verses describe the person's attempts to communicate with the object of their affection. They try to use their body language and facial expressions to show how they feel but it doesn't seem to work. They feel like they're going crazy because they can't seem to get through to the person. The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "언제부턴가 난 네가 좋아" which means "I've liked you since when" in English. This implies that the person has been feeling this way for a while but hasn't been able to express their feelings until now.


All in all, SIGNAL is a relatable song for anyone who has ever struggled to express their feelings to someone they like. The clever use of metaphors and repetition in the lyrics creates a catchy and memorable tune that is easy to sing along to.
