Red
The Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay 작은 불빛
날 끌어당기는 fireflies
Take 날 데려가
숨 막히는 시선 속에

비춰지는 moonlight
길을 찾아가
점점 가까이 내게 다가와
떠오르는 flashlight
빛을 따라가
쏟아지는 저 shooting stars

I wanna be red
눈앞에 피어난 불꽃처럼 no
I wanna be red
빨갛게 펼쳐진 하늘처럼
I don't care
I wanna be

Stay 구름 위에
꽃잎이 피어나 like paradise
Dance move your body
꿈꾸듯이 날아올라

비춰지는 moonlight
길을 찾아가
점점 가까이 내게 다가와
떠오르는 flashlight
빛을 따라가
쏟아지는 저 shooting stars

I wanna be red
눈앞에 피어난 불꽃처럼 no
I wanna be red
빨갛게 펼쳐진 하늘처럼
I don't care
I wanna be

홀로 걷던 이 거리
어둠 속에 붉게 타올라
Throw your sticks and stones
남들과 다르면 뭐 어때
신경 안 써 끌리는 대로

I wanna be red
누가 뭐라 하던 상관없어
No, I don't wanna be dead
불처럼 저 높이 뻗어올라




Fireworks
I just wanna be

Overall Meaning

The song "Red" by The Rose is a song about being true to oneself and standing out from the crowd. The lyrics describe the desire to be as vibrant as the color red, as bold as fireworks in the night sky, and to dance and move freely like flower petals swaying in the wind. The lines "I don't care, I wanna be" and "신경 안 써 끌리는 대로" (I don't care, drawn to whatever) emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself and not listening to the opinions of others.


The use of metaphors in the song, such as "fireflies" representing the things that attract and draw us in, "moonlight" and "flashlight" symbolizing guidance and direction, and "shooting stars" representing the possibilities and opportunities in life, further add depth to the lyrics and the message behind them.


The chorus, with the repeated lines "I wanna be red" and "빨갛게 펼쳐진 하늘처럼" (like the sky spread out in red), serves as a strong affirmation of the desire to be one's most vibrant and authentic self. The message of "Red" is empowering and encourages the listener to embrace their uniqueness and not be afraid to stand out and shine.
