Look At Me
Tae Yang & G-Dragon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you see me in this moment
Writing this song and still coping with you being gone
Knowing that it wasn't long
See I tell myself I gotta be strong
But it's hard when a piece of my heart is now missing
Shyt got me looking at the world different
Can you see me in this moment
Writing this song and still coping with you being gone
Knowing that it wasn't long
See I tell myself I gotta be strong
But it's hard when a piece of my heart is now missing
Shyt got me looking at the world different
This isn't the way that I predicted my life
Seems fictional, like I'm posed to wake up tonight
Look at my phone and notice that you're calling me or something
Come over with some blunts so we both can get to puffing
But it's just another front, can't go back in time
Only time I can see you is when your stuck up in my mind, which is everyday
Still hoping for a sign, that you're here with me right now
But I must be blind, cause I haven't seen one yet or am I in denial
Wishing I can bring you back for a while but I'm asking if you can
Look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all can be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So
Take a look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all can be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So
Can you still see me, is it true that spiritually you'll never leave me
Believe me when I say it isn't easy, trying to see you in my dreams, when I be having problems sleeping
Promise imma keep reaching, if only heaven had a cell phone I would call you every weekend
Just so we can chop it up and bullshyt like old times
This shyt is killing my mind
Everytime I see a picture I be literally crying
Feeling like I'm gonna choke, claiming everything's fine but I be lying
Trying my best to be chill
Questioning what is real cause I'm starting to feel numb to it all
Still I fight for the cause, cause I don't want to spend my life being upset and lost
So Imma hold the torch and raise it up high
So you can see me clearly from the other side
So I'm asking if you can
Look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all could be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So
Take a look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all could be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So
Take a look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all could be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So




Take a look at me now, I'm hope I'm making you proud
Although it all could be stressful, still I'm doing my best, So

@롤로노아조로 제 춤 실력은 아마추어티가 안 날 정도.
윈드밀,웨이브,백스핀,프리즈 까지 고난도 동작의 춤을 춥니다.
다만, 비보이처럼 완벽하지 못하지만, 어느정도 폼은 나는 실력입니다.
태양이 춤으로 유명하단 이야기는 글쎄요.
저랑 91년생 사촌여동생만 모르나요?
제가 말씀드렸둣이, 내가 태양 나이에,저 동작만 하라면, 난 태양보다 더 잘 출 자신 있어요.
내가 봐도 학원춤 느낌이..
저만의 생각일까요?
전혀,들어보지 못했어요.
그리고, 춤하면
HOT 장우혁,젝키 김재덕과 이재진,신화 전진, 동방신기 유노윤호, 샤이니 키, 이름은 모르지만 NCT멤버, 소녀시대 효연.
갓세븐 재범.
특히, 갓세븐 재범과 소녀시대 효연이 비보이,비걸 출신입니다.
이 들이 진짜 춤 잘 추는 사람이라고, 누구나 인정하지 않나요?

명언 : 명곡 리메이크를 넘는 것 많지만
듀스는 넘을 수 없다 그 누구도...

@user-jo5dw2gh3v

내말이 그말 입니다 ~

@user-bf2id3rt3y

진짜 춤꾼인 듀스에서 뿜어나오는 절대 포스는 영원히 따라가지 못한다~ 목소리의 포스도 춤의 포스도 ~

@mikaellaparone701

Missing this era where bigbang actually does legit dance xD

@purplebear3684

I love their voice here.

@user-on9nn4cb2d

태양 지디가 춤을 못 추는 게 아니라 그 시절 레전드의 그 느낌이 우리에게 강하게 남아서이죠ㅜㅜ 레전드는 그 누구도 대체하긴 힘듭니다

@tyga886

레전드라는 이미지여서가 아니라
객관적으로 봐도 이현도랑 김성재가 춤은 더 넘사벽으로 잘춤

@goat0217

그게아니아 그냥 난위도 높은 동작을 다 피했네요 그냥

@what9_boy

잘추는건 맞지만 굳이 말하자면 듀스랑 비교자체가 모순인거임

@jaysean6912

형이 정답 . 재들도 잘했어. 각인이 쌔게 박혀서 더 느낌이 쌘거지., 솔까짐 김성재 춤 보면 걍 그래 과대평가야
