Because of a Man
Taeyeon and Joo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 매번 이럴 때 마다 새로운 사람을 찾아서 또다시 기댔죠
하지만 이번엔 싫어요 더 이상 이렇게 살수는 없죠
***
더 이상은 남자 때문에 울고 웃지 않게 나 두발로 서 있을래
누구에게도 다신 기대지 않고 살아가 볼래
더 이상은 남자 때문에 흔들리지 않게 혼자 사는걸 배울래
누구의 손을 잡지 않고 있어도 밝은 미소로 웃을 수 있게
난 누가 필요했죠 혼자 있질 못했죠 혼자선 아픔을 감당할 수 없었죠
난 사랑을 할 때 마다 영원 할 거라 믿었기에 모든걸 주었죠
하지만 이제는 싫어요 더 이상 이렇게 살 수는 없죠
*** 반복
웃을 수 있게
The song "Because of a Man" by Taeyeon and Joo speaks about a person who has lost their way and their confidence in love because of previous heartbreaks caused by men. The first verse explains the singer's struggle with finding new people every time they fall apart in a relationship. However, they have had enough of the cycle, and they do not want to live their life like this anymore. In the chorus, the singer promises themselves that they will stand tall and no longer cry or laugh because of a man. They will learn to live alone without depending on anyone else and smile brightly even if they don't have someone to hold onto.
The second verse shows the past efforts of the singer in love; they believed that it would last forever and gave their all, but it led to disappointment. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes their determination to take charge of their life and bounce back. It is a powerful message about self-reliance and moving forward despite heartbreaks. The song advises people to learn to stand on their feet to regain their confidence after an unhealthy relationship.
