One for Me One for You
Trans-X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

숨이 막힐 것 같던 어제와
눈 뜰 힘조차 없던 오늘이

또 반복될 것만 같아
울고 싶은 네 맘 알아
나도 똑같은걸

Woo woo woo woo woo

잠시 쉬어가도 돼
Woo woo woo woo woo
천천히 걸어도 돼
널 따라오는 그림자마저 힘겨울 땐

괜찮아요 괜찮아요
여기 내가 있으니까요
괜찮아요 괜찮아요
잊지 마요 내가 있단 걸

불을 끄고 누우면 언제나 (언제나)
이유 없이 또 잠을 설치고
왠지 모를 서러운 맘 눈물 흘리지만
잘 자 내일 잘하면 돼

Good night 잠시만 멈춰도 돼 oh beautiful night
괜찮아 꼭 해주고 싶었던 그 말
넌 잘하고 있어 더 자라고 있어
더는 걱정하지 마 나 여기 있을 테니 good night

Ay 언제나 그랬듯 분명 이겨낼 거야
넌 결국 이뤄낼 거야 내 말만 믿으면 돼
네 손 놓지 않아 절대 난 네가 넋 놓아 본 창가
아주 잠깐 쉬어가도 돼

한 걸음 두 걸음 숨을 고르며 걸어가
늦지 않으려 할수록 멀게 느껴지니까요 (니까요)
내일이 잠시 두려워질 땐 내 어깨에 기대도 돼
내가 너의 그 옆에서 위로가 될게요

괜찮아요 괜찮아요
여기 내가 있으니까요

어떤 누구도 내 맘을 몰라준다고
혼잣말로 괜찮다 위로하던 날들
그냥 한 걸음 아니 두 걸음
조금 더 가까이 다가와
어깰 빌려줄게 걸음을 맞춰볼게 이젠

괜찮아요 (시간이 흘러 흘러 흘러도)
괜찮아요 (이 세상 모든 게 변해가도)
여기 내가 (I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you)
있으니까요

괜찮아요 (눈물이 흘러 흘러 흘러도)
괜찮아요 (조금씩 내 모습 흐려져도)

잊지 마요 (I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you)
내가 있단 걸 I'm here for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trans-X's song "One for Me One for You" delve into themes of emotional support, resilience, and reassurance amidst difficult times. The opening lines describe the feeling of suffocation and exhaustion from the past ("yesterday") that makes it seem impossible to even open one's eyes in the present ("today"). The repetition of these feelings and the understanding of wanting to cry reflect a sense of familiarity and empathy between the singer and the listener, acknowledging the shared experience of emotional struggle.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of taking a moment to pause and breathe ("Woo woo woo woo woo / it's okay to take a break"), even if it means moving slowly. The mention of shadows that follow, even during difficult times, suggests a sense of heaviness and burden that is felt by both parties. However, the reassurance that "it's okay because I'm here" conveys a message of comfort and support, reminding the listener that they are not alone in their struggles.

The lyrics then shift towards a message of encouragement and hope for the future. Even when faced with sleepless nights and aching hearts, the singer urges the listener to rest peacefully and believe that tomorrow will be better. The sentiment of "Good night, it's okay to take a moment to pause, oh beautiful night" reflects a tender and caring tone, offering words of comfort and a sense of peace amidst turmoil.

As the song progresses, the lyrics become more empowering, instilling a sense of confidence and faith in overcoming challenges. The promise that "you will overcome as always, trust only my words" reinforces the idea of unwavering support and belief in the listener's strength. The encouragement to take a break and lean on each other while moving forward together conveys a message of solidarity and companionship in facing life's obstacles.

In the final verses, the lyrics speak to the transformative power of connection and understanding. The acknowledgment that no one truly knows another's heart but being willing to draw closer and offer a shoulder to lean on symbolizes a deepening bond and willingness to provide comfort and support. The repeated assurance that "I'll be there for you" emphasizes the singer's unwavering presence and commitment to being a source of strength and solace, reinforcing the message of reassurance and solidarity throughout the song.
