X-Traikerz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

어제 너는 나를 버렸어
나는 아무 변명하지 못하고
얌전하게 집에 돌아와
너무 피곤해 잠이 들었어
눈이 떠지자마자 정신이 없지
지각은 말이 안 돼 출근해야지
시간이 모자라 널 생각하고 아파하기엔
내가 너무 바빠

눈물이 맺혔을지도
아닌가 졸린건지도
어쩌면 널 좋아하지 않았었나봐

연락을 기다릴지도
아닌가 귀찮을지도
어쩌면 널 사랑하진 않았었나봐

이제 나는 너를 잊었어
생각해 보니 오늘 하루 종일
네 생각이 나질 않았고
왠지 웃으며 잠이 들었어

이별이 항상 지독할 필요는 없지
우리도 각자 가던 길을 가야지
못다 한 마음도 전하지 못한 말도 많았지만
내가 너무 바빠

눈물이 맺혔을지도
아닌가 졸린건지도
어쩌면 널 좋아하지 않았었나봐

연락을 기다릴지도
아닌가 귀찮을지도
어쩌면 널 사랑하진 않았었나봐

아냐 그랬을 리가 없지
너 없인 살 수 없었던
꿈같은 날들이 있었지 (da, da, da, da, da, da)

나를 안아주던 숨결도
빛이 나던 그 입술도
시간을 되돌려 갈 수 있다 해도
이젠 너무 바빠

눈물은 말랐을지도
이대로 괜찮을지도
어쩌면 널 기다리지 않을건가봐

마음이 죽은걸지도
차갑게 굳어질지도
어쩌면 널 사랑하지 않을건가봐

이제 나는 너를 잊었어
아쉬울게 하나도 없어

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of X-Traikerz's song "Yesterdays" depict the singer reflecting on a past relationship and the aftermath of their partner's decision to leave them. In the first verse, the singer expresses their inability to come up with any excuses for their partner's departure and returns home feeling exhausted. Upon waking up, they feel disoriented and realize they are late for work, but still find it hard to focus as thoughts of their ex consume them. The singer acknowledges their own busy schedule as a contributing factor to the relationship falling apart.

The second verse delves into the emotional turmoil the singer experiences following the breakup. They question whether their tears were a result of missing their ex or simply exhaustion. They also contemplate the possibility that they may not have truly loved their partner and that waiting for contact or finding them bothersome might indicate a lack of affection. However, as the day progresses, the singer realizes that their thoughts do not revolve around their ex anymore and they even find themselves smiling as they drift off to sleep.

The bridge of the song suggests that the end of a relationship does not always have to be bitter. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of parting ways and emphasizes the importance of each individual finding their own path. Although there were feelings left unexpressed and words left unsaid, the singer recognizes that they were too caught up in their own busy life.

In the last chorus, the lyrics express a mix of emotions. The singer speculates that their tears may have dried and questions whether they will be okay without waiting for their ex. They wonder if their heart has grown numb and if they will become cold and unfeeling. They contemplate the possibility that they may not love their ex anymore. Ultimately, the singer concludes that they have moved on and have no regrets or longing for their past relationship.

Overall, "Yesterdays" portrays the complex emotions and introspection that come with the end of a romantic relationship. It explores themes of self-reflection, acceptance, and the realization that life moves on even after heartbreak.
