Younha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
구름이 걷힌 자리로 비추는 불빛
하나의 달과 그림잔
시작점부터 함께였지
이젠 어둠 속에 헤매이게 돼도
깊은 밤에 찾아온다 해도
여기
Even if I can't reach the light
I can see in here
Even if you are not with me
I feel you in here
끝내 어떤 것도 변하지 않아도
닿지 못할 꿈이어도 그저
바라보며 담을 수 있다면
여기
Even if I can't reach the light
I can see in here
Even if you are not with me
I feel you in here
How do I
I somehow
To be with you in here
In the beginning of the song, Younha describes a scene where the clouds have cleared, and the moonlight shines upon a familiar spot, casting a warm glow. It hints at a sense of returning to a place or memory that holds significance and comfort. The imagery of a single moon and a painted glass suggest a serene and solitary moment that feels intimate and personal. These lines suggest a connection between past memories and the present, highlighting the idea of continuity and shared experiences.
As the lyrics progress, there is a shift to a darker and more introspective tone. Even amidst confusion and wandering in the darkness, the singer finds solace in the thought that they are not truly alone. The mention of deep nights and disappearing into the dawn conveys a sense of flux and uncertainty, yet the constant return to the phrase "여기" (meaning "here" in Korean) anchors the emotions to a specific place or feeling. This repetition reinforces a sense of presence and belonging, even in moments of doubt or distance.
The chorus reflects on the idea of reaching for something unattainable, such as light, dreams, or a connection that seems out of reach. Despite this perceived distance, the singer finds comfort and reassurance in their ability to perceive and hold onto these intangible desires. The act of simply looking and cherishing these aspirations symbolizes a sense of hope and resilience, even in the face of obstacles or uncertainty.
The closing lines of the song express a longing to be together or united with someone in this space of "here". The repetition of "How do I, I somehow" suggests a yearning for understanding and closeness, even when the circumstances may not allow for it physically. The use of repetitive questioning and affirmative phrases conveys a sense of determination and willingness to find a way to connect, no matter the obstacles. Overall, the lyrics of "Here" by Younha delve into themes of memory, presence, longing, and resilience, inviting listeners to reflect on their own emotional journey and relationships.
