Take Me Down
The Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah
Lonely you are
커져버린 your scars
맘에 문이 닫혀가
아이처럼
이미 늦었잖아
돌아올 수는 없을 거야
떠나버린 시간 속에서
I wanna say goodbye
미련이란 건 놓는 거야
지워져가는 기억 속에서
I just wanna say good bye
Take me now
Please undo my chain of pain
벗어날 수 있다면
꺼져버린 불처럼
Can you take me down?
I'm under cold rain again
피할 수만 있다면
무뎌지는 것처럼
Can you take me down?
거친 말투
달라진 our view
계절의 흐름처럼
짙은 tattoo
새겨버린 내 실수
이미 늦은 것 같아
어두워진 마음 한켠에
잃어버린 추억조차도
I wanna say goodbye
머무를 수는 없을 거야
식어버린 마음속에서
I just wanna say goodbye
Take me now
Please undo my chain of pain
벗어날 수 있다면
꺼져버린 불처럼
Can you take me down?
I'm under cold rain again
피할 수만 있다면
무뎌지는 것처럼
Can you take me down?
Oh take me now
Please undo my chain of pain
벗어날 수 있다면
꺼져버린 불처럼
Can you take me down?
I'm under cold rain again
피할 수만 있다면
무뎌질 수 있을까
Can you take me down?
Ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah
Ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah

Lonely you are
You are feeling alone
커져버린 your scars
Your emotional scars have grown
맘에 문이 닫혀가
You are closing off your heart
아이처럼
Like a child
억지로 애써도
Even if you try hard
이미 늦었잖아
It's already too late
돌아올 수는 없을 거야
You can't go back
떠나버린 시간 속에서
In the time that has gone by
I wanna say goodbye
You want to say goodbye
미련이란 건 놓는 거야
Letting go of regrets
지워져가는 기억 속에서
In fading memories
I just wanna say good bye
You just want to say goodbye
Take me now
Take me away
Please undo my chain of pain
Please release me from my emotional suffering
벗어날 수 있다면
If I can break free
꺼져버린 불처럼
Like a fire that has burned out
Can you take me down?
Can you help me escape?
I'm under cold rain again
You feel like you are in the rain again
피할 수만 있다면
If I can avoid it
무뎌지는 것처럼
Like everything is becoming dull
거친 말투
Rough words
달라진 our view
Our perspective has changed
계절의 흐름처럼
Like the flow of seasons
짙은 tattoo
A deep tattoo
새겨버린 내 실수
Your mistakes are engraved
이미 늦은 것 같아
It feels like it's already too late
어두워진 마음 한켠에
In a corner of your darkened heart
잃어버린 추억조차도
Even lost memories
I wanna say goodbye
You want to say goodbye
머무를 수는 없을 거야
You can't stay
식어버린 마음속에서
In your frozen heart
I just wanna say goodbye
You just want to say goodbye
무뎌질 수 있을까
Can it become numb?
