Grey
Tina and the B-Sides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
애꿎은 먹구름에 심술을 부림
Ah 가슴팍을 두 두 두드림
외로움 공기가 한숨을 뿌림 ha
비 온 뒤 흐림
버려지듯 쏟아지는 빗줄기 (빗줄기)
어느새 발목까지 잠긴 물웅덩이 (물웅덩이)
집어쳐라 진심 없는 날 위한 기도 또는 위로
거울 속에 비친 내 모습 인간이 아냐
너 너 너 없는 하루는 살아도 사는 게 아냐
너 너 우울이 가득한 하늘은 모든 게
내 탓이라며 또 노려보네
회색빛 도시는 너무도 답답해
I wanna run away
넌 어쩌자고 이 넓은 하늘 아래
나를 혼자만 남겨 뒀을까
내 하늘은 비 온 뒤 흐림
애꿎은 먹구름에 심술을 부림
Ah 가슴팍을 두 두 두드림
외로움 공기에 한숨을 뿌림
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
비틀대는 마음 버릇처럼 하품
감정과 감정 사이가 삐걱대는 불량품
아마 나는 아픔 도망치기 바쁨
툭 투 툭 빗물과 입 맞추는 창문
넌 어쩌자고 이 넓은 하늘 아래
나를 혼자만 남겨 뒀을까
내 하늘은 비 온 뒤 흐림
애꿎은 먹구름에 심술을 부림
Ah 가슴팍을 두 두 두드림
외로움 공기에 한숨을 뿌림
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
무지개가 되겠다던 너는 어디쯤 떠올랐을까
네가 다녀간 내 빈자리는
끝내 채워질 줄을 모르고
Baby 구름이 지나간 자리마다
너의 얼굴이 보여서
나는 별수 없다는 이유로 눈을 감는다
아아아
내 하늘은 비 온 뒤 흐림
애꿎은 먹구름에 심술을 부림
어어 가슴팍을 두 두 두드림
외로움 공기에 한숨을 뿌림
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
따 따 따 따 따 따 따
에이 따 따 따 따 따 따 땃따
비 온 뒤 흐림
The song "Grey" by Tina and the B-Sides is about seeking paradise and trying to escape the cold, grey winter. The lyrics describe a desire to escape to a place where winter never comes and instead, you can wear a bathing suit, sip on coke and rum and have all your troubles melt away. The person in the song has heard stories about such a place and decides to go there by buying a ticket on a ship for Kokomo. The lyrics are about the person's longing for a paradise where the sun is always shining and where all the problems of the world disappear in front of the continuous warmth.
Throughout the song, the person has seen many sunrises and watched the waves crashing along the beaches, where tall palm trees sway in the breeze. Despite seeking this paradise, the person has realized that such a place is not meant for them, as they still long for the warmth of a loved one, the sound of city lights, and the surprise of winter snow. The song's message is about the paradox of trying to find a paradise that is not sustainable and the realization that what one is seeking might always be out of reach. In the end, the persona decides to make a home in the "grey" part of the world and seeks comfort in the embrace of a loved one.
Line by Line Meaning
They say there's places where the
Winter never comes
There are places where people live without ever experiencing winter
You wear your bathing suit
And sip your coke and rum
And troubles melt away
Beneath the endless sun
The people smile, the songbirds sing
In those places, people wear summer clothes and drink tropical drinks, and all their problems disappear in the warm sunshine. People are happy and birds sing all the time
Well I heard the stories and I
Knew I had to go
I bought my ticket on the ship for Kokomo
I sought the sun and wandered off for parts unknown
But it was never meant for me
The singer had heard about these places and bought a ticket to go see for themselves. However, they found that it was not meant for them after all
Mmm I've seen the sunrise
Shining off the sea
I watched the waves along the beaches
And the tall palm trees, I've seen
Paradise and hungered for the rain
Despite realizing it wasn't meant for them, the singer still saw beautiful sunrises and beaches with palm trees. They longed for something different, rain instead of eternal sunshine
The warmth of you beside me
On a cloudy day
In the clear, cold air
And the grey
Mmmmm
The singer realizes that what they truly wanted was the warmth of a person's love, even on a cloudy and grey day. The clarity and coldness of the air represent a feeling of clarity and acceptance
And when I traveled many thousand miles
I got my tan and sang the songs of Bali Hai
Well my lonesome heart was calling for those city lights
Shining off the winter snow
The singer traveled far and got a tan, but ultimately missed the bright lights of the city during winter time
So let the snow fall down
Let the cold winds blow
I will keep you warm
Just hold me close
Let the sunlight fade
Promise me you'll stay
Right here beside me in the
Clear, cold air
And the grey
Mmmmm
The singer wants someone to hold them close and stay with them through even the coldest and greyest of days. They are willing to provide warmth in return
