Guilty
Taemin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ooh) uh, uh, uh-uh (uh, uh), yeah (uh)
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
Poison apple
홀린 채 you wanna take a bite
손을 뻗어
위험 속에 깊이 빠져 가
널 망치고서 throw it all away, uh
단 하나를 주는 척 모든 걸 가져가
아픈 마음과 사랑을 헷갈려 원하게 만들어
우리 관계는 그렇게 됐어
모든 건 다 널 위해서 (ooh-ooh)
(애매한 선과 악의 경계 위)
You played the fool for me
(마지막 순간 나의 심판이)
Ooh
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y
모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어
또 playing a game 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말
Ooh-yeah
G-U-I-L-T-Y
내 말 위에 놀아나
누가 날 벌할까?
Uh, uh, loving you's a crime
눈치챈 순간 난 이미 다 사라져
I can walk like this
Talk like this
Play like this
Uh, uh, uh, uh
(Yeah-yeah)
니 마음과 다른 말 얼마든 해 you okay for tonight
(Yeah-yeah)
이 순간도 나를 더 바라고 있잖아, 솔직해, 이제 그만
(Yeah-yeah) 포기해 넌 내 안에 갇힌 걸
Forgive me, ooh (애매한 선과 악의 경계 위)
You played the fool for me (마지막 순간 나의 심판이)
Ooh (yeah-yeah)
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y (you got me, you got me)
모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어
또 playing a game 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말 (ooh)
Ooh-yeah
너를 더 잃어 가길 원해
우리의 사랑은 그게 편해
그저 남들과 다른 내 방식
아플수록 달콤히 남지
Every time, every time, every time
(Ooh) ooh
(You got me) G-U-I-L-T-Y, yeah-yeah, yeah
(모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어)
또 playing a game 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말
Ooh (ooh-ooh)
G-U-I-L-T-Y (G-U-I-L)
내 말 위에 놀아나
누가 날 벌할까? (Ooh)
Uh, uh, loving you's a crime
눈치챈 순간 난 이미 다 사라져
I can walk like this
Talk like this
Play like this
Oh, no, no, no
The lyrics of Taemin's song "Guilty" depict a toxic and manipulative relationship. The opening lines mention a "poison apple" that the person is tempted to bite into, symbolizing the allure of a destructive and harmful partnership. The lyrics suggest that the person is willingly falling deeper into danger and is aware of the consequences. The repetition of "Just a little more, that's all it takes" emphasizes the addictive nature of the relationship and the inability to resist its pull.
The chorus reveals the internal conflict the person feels, acknowledging that they are being deceived and taken advantage of ("You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y"). Despite this, they continue to play along with the game, enjoying the thrill and excitement it brings. The lyrics also express the fear of being judged or punished ("내 말 위에 놀아나, 누가 날 벌할까?"). The song suggests that the person has already lost themselves in this relationship, as indicated by the line "눈치챈 순간 난 이미 다 사라져" (I disappear the moment I realize).
Throughout the song, Taemin explores the blurred lines between good and evil, right and wrong ("애매한 선과 악의 경계 위"). The lyrics highlight the power dynamics and manipulation within the relationship, reflecting the emotional turmoil that comes with being trapped in such a toxic dynamic.

@kazanna12345
This isn't k-pop. This is art, and the artist has something important to tell us
@alvalamoureux1282
Exactly and he did.
@mashopotatomashopotato8611
That he's a hoe? lol. This song is literally about messing with women's heads. That's the message.
@Kalakeiko
Agreed and it's honestly such a crime that this masterpiece is still so underrated and ignored, because it literally is the whole package of what someone could ask for musically, vocally and in terms of performance as well smh
@lara1267
@@Kalakeiko And yet it's k-pop and there's nothing surprising about it. There are many talented artists in Korea, although Taemin is not next to them, but above them, so I think. He is a great artist, he will make any genre his own, he may be on the verge of a foul, but he will never cross this line. Few people in the pop industry can do this at all.
@danie_lle
Taemin is probably the highest level when it comes to a soloist. He has no weak field as a musical artist. his artistic sense is simply superior. guilty is an irrefutable proof of that.
@LeeSo-777
I agree. This is true. I think Guilty is underrated. we should pay more attention to Guilty and Taemin🙏🏻 ❤

@ssh9922
For me personally, Taemin has been a conceptual genius since the beginning of his solo career. For his great work, he received these awards deservedly. And now I'm incredibly happy for him, more than ever!
@yasminedhm5292
I hope now on he will gets the popularity that he deserve
