Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is VIXX, attention (attention)
'Cause I have been around
Now V-I-double X
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
나를 또 찌르고 (yeah) 달아나고 있어
She does it on and on and on
날 부르고 돌아서고 있어
위험하다고 말해도 들리질 않아
분명히 나를 향한 눈빛
때마침 내린 달빛
넌 모든 걸 다 아는 듯이 나를 조롱하듯이
Ah 나를 다 흔들어놔
또다시 울컥
나한테 왜 이러는데
난 너한테 왜 이러는데
너는 말끝을 또 흐리고
난 눈물이 흐르고
또 무릎 꿇는 난
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
또다시 돌아온 (yeah) 나를 보고 있어
Can't let go
I do this on and on and on
나 잡아본 니 손끝에서 난
사랑이라곤 어디도 보이질 않아
조금씩 변해가는 눈빛
사라져가는 달빛
넌 이 모든 게 재밌는지 나를 비웃는 듯이
내게서 멀어진다
또다시 울컥
나한테 왜 이러는데
난 너한테 왜 이러는데
너는 말끝을 또 흐리고 난
눈물이 흐르고
또 무릎 꿇는 난
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
알고 또 빠진 난
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
Yeah bravo 난 너를 위한 장난감
목숨은 늘 간당간당해
불안해 확실해
넌 딴 놈에게로 갈아타려 해
오늘은 날 제대로 가지고 놀아줘
머리부터 발끝까지 전부 다 가져 ah
거칠게 놀다 버려줘
다칠 준비 끝났어 oh oh
왜 하필 나한테만 이러는데
난 너한테만 이러는데
다시 여지를 또 남기고
묘한 말만 남기고
또 떠나가는 널 바라보며
울고 있어
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
(Uh uh) I need therapy, la la la la la therapy
또 기다리는 난
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
The song "다칠 준비가 돼 있어" by VIXX is a powerful and emotive portrayal of a tumultuous romantic relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's desperation and confusion as they struggle to come to terms with a lover who constantly hurts them yet they cannot let go of. The song opens with a declaration of VIXX's presence, asserting that they have been around and are symbolized by their name, V-I-double X. The repeating phrase "다칠 준비가 돼 있어" translates to "I'm ready to get hurt" which epitomizes the emotional paradox the singer has found themselves in, where they know that their love will continue to cause them pain, but they remain committed regardless.
The lyrics then go on to describe the conflicting emotions the singer feels towards their partner, who they love deeply but who continually leaves, rejecting any attempts at reconciliation. Although their partner's behavior is dangerous, they cannot resist their pull, even when warned by others. The chorus repeats the phrase "나한테 왜 이러는데, 난 너한테 왜 이러는데" which means "Why are you doing this to me? Why am I doing this to you?" emphasizing the confusion and pain the singer is experiencing.
As the song progresses, the emotions deepen, and the singer wonders why their love cannot be enough for their partner to stay. Despite changing feelings and fading love, they prepare themselves for the familiar yet destructive cycle by repeating the phrase, "다칠 준비가 돼 있어" and the song concludes with the same phrase, emphasizing the singer’s expectation that their relationship will continue to be painful.
