기도
Y2K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

그런 눈으로 날 바라보지마
왜 넌 여전히 내 안에 서있니
너와 함께 한 기억들 속에
가두었던 너를 그만 보낼게
다시 내게 올 것만 같았어
헛된 기다림 나도 알고 있어
혼자라는 걸 믿을 수가 없는
어리석은 날 용서해줘

그리워하는 나에겐 아름다웠던
너의 기억들 뿐이지만
언제나 돌아오기만 기도하던
너를 이젠 미워해야만하겠지
널 사랑한 죄가 더 크다면
얼마든 견딜수 있어
돌아와 줘 내가 아는 너
그를 사랑할수 없어
<간주>
다시 내게 올 것만 같았어
헛된 기다림 나도 알고 있어
혼자라는 걸 믿을 수가 없는
어리석은 날 용서해줘
그리워하는 나에겐 아름다웠던
너의 기억들 뿐이지만
언제나 돌아오기만 기도하던
너를 이젠 미워해야만하겠지
널 사랑한 죄가 더 크다면
얼마든 견딜수 있어
돌아와 줘 내가 아는 너
그를 사랑할수 없어
널 사랑한 죄가 더 크다면
얼마든 견딜수 있어

돌아와 줘 내가 아는 너
그를 사랑할수 없어

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Y2K's song "기도" (pronounced "Gido," which translates to "Prayer" in English) express the singer's internal struggle and conflicting emotions towards a past love. The lyrics begin by pleading with the subject not to look at the singer with those eyes anymore, as it stirs up unresolved feelings that still remain within them. The singer reflects on the memories they shared with this person and acknowledges their decision to let go and move on. However, they admit that they still believed the person would come back to them, even though they knew it was a futile waiting. The singer asks for forgiveness for their foolish self, unable to believe that they are truly alone. They confess that, though they long for the person, all they have left are the beautiful memories. And despite always praying for their return, the singer realizes that now they must start hating the person in order to let go. The lyrics convey the singer's guilt for loving this person and their decision to distance themselves from a love they cannot bear. They express their plea for the person to come back, but ultimately declare that they cannot love someone else while still holding onto the past love.
