Laundry
YOURA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

세탁소 앞에 내가 맡긴 외투 속에
하얀 쪽지가 있었는지도 모르고
난 또 울지
그거 네가 줬던 편지였는데

조금만 울어요
차갑고 무거운 것들은 버려요
환상 속에 너는 어린아이에요

발끝에 닿는 이불이 내 친구네요 음

추억을 두 눈으로 봐
돌아갈 수 있다면 얼마나 좋아
너와 마주했던 그 순간으로 가서
우리 만나게 하지 말라고
내 눈을 가렸겠지

사랑 때문에
울고 웃는 이 순간들도 다 fallen
잔뜩 겁을 먹고 있어도 난 좋아
밀린 빨래들을 해치워 버리자 음

세탁소 앞에 내가 맡긴 외투 속에
하얀 쪽지가 있었는지도 모르고

난 또 울지
그거 정말 아끼던 거였는데

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Laundry" by Youra are a reflection on the memories and emotions that come flooding back when doing the mundane task of laundry. The singer is standing in front of a dry cleaners, wondering if inside their coat that they had left there, was a white note from someone they loved, and it's these thoughts that make them cry. This note is later revealed to be a letter from a past lover. The song immerses the listener in a melancholy mood, as the singer urges themselves to throw away any cold and heavy objects, and focus on the memories that make them feel alive.

The second half of the song continues to reflect on past memories, as the singer wishes they could go back in time to relive those moments, but also acknowledges that some memories are best left untouched. The chorus is an affirmation that even if things are tough now or if they are scared, they should focus on doing their laundry and dealing with life's tasks, rather than getting lost in their thoughts.

The lyrics to this song are particularly powerful as they remind us of how the most mundane of tasks can bring up emotions and memories that we may have tucked away, and that it's important to take the time to reflect on them, even if it means crying at a dry cleaner.
