Ohio
hyukoh (혁오) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look back in bitterness
Going back to broken piece of past
Staying in memories
Hesitating stepping forward to real

I'm stupid wanderer
Wandering poor fellow
Give up now to live in the peace that we made before
Ohio gentle wave
On ocean of recall, oh

Oh hi oh hi
I watch your pain
Oh hi oh hi
The same as mine

Long story truly short
Rewind it ever over again
Hard to fine the rest
World without you never can stand

I'm stupid blind old man
Deny such a bright light
Give up glow to live in the peace that we made before
Ohio gentle wave
On ocean of recall, oh

Oh hi oh hi
I watch your pain
Oh hi oh hi
The same as mine

Take me from your breath
Let me down to back to real
I'll erase you
Set me free from you
Know it's hard to try

Oh hi oh hi
I watch your pain
Oh hi oh hi
The same as mine, oh

Oh hi oh hi
I watch your pain




Oh hi oh hi
The same as mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Ohio" by Hyukoh explores the idea of looking back on the past with regret and longing. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with moving on from a previous relationship or situation, perhaps due to the comfort and familiarity it provided. The line "going back to broken piece of past" indicates that the singer is aware of the negative aspects of this past relationship, yet cannot help but dwell on it. The chorus repeats the phrase "oh hi oh hi," which may be interpreted as a reference to Ohio, the state where the singer may have lived with their past partner. The gentle wave of Ohio functions as a metaphor for the waves of memories that keep coming back and haunting the singer.


Throughout the song, the singer is conflicted. They describe themselves as a "stupid wanderer" who is "hesitating stepping forward to real." In the second verse, the singer describes themselves as a "stupid old man" who is "denying such a bright light." This may suggest that the singer is aware of the need to move on and make a fresh start, but cannot bring themselves to do so. The repeated line "I watch your pain, the same as mine" could indicate that both the singer and their former partner are struggling with the aftermath of the relationship.

훌륭한 음악은 지나간 시간과 트렌드에 영향을 받지 않는 것 같아요.

잠깐 반짝하고 마는 수많은 아이돌 노래,
양산적인 발라드와 달리,

예술성과 깊이를 지닌 음악들.

마치 혁오의 곡들이 그러한 듯 하네요.
