Say Something
TWICE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

매일이 별다를 것 없던 기억들이 변해가는 것 같아
Where are we 우린 어디쯤인 걸까 가끔은

맘이 기울어 I've been waiting for you (two of us)
달이 기울면 I'm ready for you (both of us)
아무런 예고 없이 다가온
그리 낯설지 않았던
느린 시간 속 심장은 빨라지고
이 도시의 빛이 꺼질 때쯤
아스라이 감은 눈을 뜨면
내 이름이 들려오는 이 순간에

Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something

늘 혼자 서 있는 가로등은
어느 누구를 기다리고 있을까
똑같은 표정의 불빛들이
오늘은 달라 보여서

맘이 기울어 I've been waiting for you (two of us)
달이 기울면 I'm ready for you (both of us)
변덕스러운 밤이 차가워지고 그만큼 낯설지 않았던

느린 시간 속 심장은 빨라지고
이 도시의 빛이 꺼질 때쯤
아스라이 감은 눈을 뜨면
내 이름이 들려오는 이 순간에

Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something
Say something

도시의 사각 틈 사이로
새어 나온 불빛 나를 감싸면 맘을 말해줘

느린 시간 속 심장은 빨라지고
이 도시의 빛이 꺼질 때쯤
아스라이 감은 눈을 뜨면
내 이름이 들려오는 이 순간에

Say something (say something)
Say something
Say something (nananana)
Say something
Say something
Say something

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TWICE's song "Say Something" touch on the theme of longing and waiting for someone. The first verse talks about memories that once seemed mundane, but are now changing into something new. The singer wonders where they are and sometimes feel vulnerable when their heart leans towards the person they are waiting for. The chorus is a plea for that person to say something, to make their presence known and end the waiting. The second verse shows the singer observing their surroundings, wondering who a lonely street lamp is waiting for and noticing how the lights that seem the same everyday look different today. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the longing for the person they are waiting for. The bridge talks about the city lights wrapping around the singer and asking the person to speak their heart out at this moment when their name is heard.


The lyrics use subtle imagery of changing memories and city lights to create a mood of anticipation and a sense of the passing of time. The singer's heart beats faster in the slow moments and they are waiting for something unexpected to happen. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced the feeling of waiting for someone, wondering if they will ever show up. It also hints at a sense of loneliness while waiting for that person, and how the singer feels when they lean towards their heart in longing.

English translated lyrics:

It will be different tomorrow
Are bad memories changing?
Where are we on the war? Sometimes

My heart is leaning, I'll be waiting for you
When the moon tilts, I'm waiting for you
Came without any notice
Still, it wasn't strange

My heart speeds up in slow time
By the time this city light goes out
When I open my closed eyes
At this moment when my name is heard

Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something

Street lights that always stand alone
Will one day be waiting for the clouds
The lights of the same expression
It looks different today


[My heart is leaning, I'll be waiting for you
When the moon tilts, I'm waiting for you
My secret heart gets colder
That wasn't that strange

My heart speeds up in slow time
By the time this city light goes out
When I open my closed eyes
At this moment when my name is heard

Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something

Through the dawn of this city
When the leaked light wraps around me
Tell me your heart

My heart speeds up in slow time

By the time this city light goes out
When I open my closed eyes
At this moment when my name is heard


Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something
Say something, say something
