Why?
Wonder and the Echoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
별거 없어 넌 다른 게 없어
너와 보내는 주말 밤이 아주 달콤할 거라 믿었는데
별거 없어 넌 다를 게 없어
어이없어 영화에 나오는 예쁜 연인들처럼
나나난난 그런 사랑을 원하는데
난 애타는데 넌 뭐니
Baby no 내 마음이 언제 널 떠나 버릴지 몰라
(Tell me why) 뭐야 니 맘은 도대체
뭐야 내가 얼마나 널 사랑하는 데
이렇게 답답한 기분은 뭔데
뭔가 콩깍지가 씌었는데
너도 나만큼 빠져야 하는데 너만 멋져
내 마음만 다쳐
괜찮을 거라고 mind control
해도 예상 밖에 있는 내 남잔 out of control
잔소리만 넘쳐
어이없어 알면 알수록 모르겠어 맘이 왜 자꾸 외로워지는지
나나난난 텅 빈 방안에 혼자 갇혀버린 것 같아
Baby why I'm so lonely
난 애타는데 넌 뭐니
Baby no 내 마음이 언제 널 떠나 버릴지 몰라
(Tell me why) 뭐야 니 맘은 도대체
뭐야 내가 얼마나 널 사랑하는 데
이렇게 답답한 기분은 뭔데
I don't wanna talk about it
말하지 않아도 모두 다 알아 봐주길
아 이건 내 그저 가벼운 바램일 뿐
귓가엔 그저 스치는 바람일 뿐
귀찮다는 듯 얼굴을 구겨 뭐든 대충대충
당연하단 듯 너는 우겨 담엔 더 잘해줄게 응?
다음이 어디 있어
네 이번 기회 떠나기 전
오 아직도 넌 정신 못 차리면
뻥 차기 직전
Baby why I'm so lonely
난 애타는데 넌 뭐니
Baby no 내 마음이
언제 널 떠나버릴지 몰라
(Tell me why) 뭐야 니 맘은 도대체
뭐야 내가 얼마나 널 사랑하는 데
이렇게 답답한 기분은 뭔데
뭐야 니 맘은 도대체
뭐야 내가 얼마나 널
사랑하는 데
이렇게 답답한 기분은 뭔데
뭐야
The lyrics to Wonder and the Echoes' song Why? touch on the timeless question of why do people fall in love, despite the accompanying heartache and pain that often follows. The opening line, "Why do fools fall in love?" indicates a skepticism toward love, while the references to birds singing and waiting for the break of day imply a sense of hope and wonder associated with the feeling of falling in love.
However, the melancholy tone of the song is emphasized by lines such as "Love is a losing game" and "Love can be a shame", which suggest that love can be a difficult and painful experience. The singer then goes on to describe themselves as a "fool", admitting that they too have fallen in love despite the potential for heartbreak. Ultimately, the song does not offer a clear answer as to why people fall in love, but instead highlights the complex and often contradictory emotions associated with the experience.
