NO THANKS
whee in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
위로는 필요 없지
수많은 차이가 있어
우리 둘 사이에
Nothing
너의 우선순위에는
내가 없다는 걸 알게 되었을 뿐인데
난 아무것도 아니면서
너와의 그림을 그리면서
사무치게 외로워져
이대로 너를 안으면
녹아내릴까 힘들어질까
꿈에서 너를 만나면
반가움보다 걱정이 앞설 것 같아
No thanks
No thanks
더 아플 것 같아
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
위로는 필요 없지 (필요 없지)
너무 먼 거리를 느껴
우리 둘 사이에
너의 그런 웃음소리에는
전혀 특별한 건 없다는 걸 알고 있기에
난 아무것도 아니면서
너와의 그림을 그리면서 yeah
사무치게 괴로워져
이대로 너를 안으면
녹아내릴까 힘들어질까
꿈에서 너를 만나면
반가움보다 걱정이 앞설 것 같아
초라하게 보이는
내 모습을 놀리는 네 입술
Yes I do
이미 돌이킬 수 없다는 걸 알아
아파
I need you
네가 없는 밤
어두운 이 밤 내게 날아와 (날아와 줄래)
구해줘
네가 아니면
언젠가는 나
심장이 굳을 것 같아
Ooh ooh yeah
Far away, far away, far away
I need you
Ooh ooh ah
Far away, far away, far away
더 아플 것 같아
Oh yeah
Whee In’s “No Thanks” is a heart-wrenching song that deeply explores the pain of unrequited love. In the chorus, she repeats the phrase “No thanks,” signaling her reluctance to endure any more of her love interest’s hurtful behavior. The tone of the piece shifts dramatically between the verses and chorus. In the verses, Whee In conveys her intense longing for the object of her affections. She regularly compares herself to nothing, with lines like “난 아무것도 아니면서” (“I am nothing, yet…”), emphasizing her feelings of worthlessness without her love interest. She describes the pain of craving physical and emotional closeness, as well as the pain of imagining what could never be.
In contrast, the chorus is a firm rejection. The repetition of “No thanks” is forceful and final, demonstrating that Whee In is done with being treated poorly. She knows that nothing she could do would make her love interest prioritize her, and she no longer wants to put up with feeling small and unimportant. In the bridge, she appears to plead with her love interest, who has already moved on, to come back to her. The lyrics describing her feeling like her heart could “harden” without them are particularly poignant, suggesting that her love interest was the only thing keeping her emotionally soft and vulnerable. Overall, “No Thanks” serves as a poignant reflection on unrequited love, the pain that can come with chasing after someone who doesn’t feel the same way, and the importance of prioritizing one’s own well-being above all else.

Wheenie doesnt need any fancy outfits/stages/props. Just her voice alone is enough, that's how good she is.
@TheVallex
her casual outfits are what fit her the best imho <3
@uaziema3698
Her honey voice can melt everyone who heard this
@blossboobs
Her voice is so comforting, it feels like i'm in another world far away from all of my problems
@angelinebena9675
Ikrrr I feel you she leads me to paradise
@MS-sc2wo
Redd is Wheein herself. When you listen to the album, it feels like you’re listening to Wheein herself. It’s so sincere maybe that’s the reason why even if I play her songs over and over, I never get tired of it.
@beliz5562
Exactly, I feel the same thing. It is like so transparent that i can see the feelings behind. And also so compact, deep it engulfs you as a whole. As you said, you just don't get tired of it, because it is so genuine. Not an album composed of commorcial songs at all.
@iced4399
Because I relate to the lyrics, it genuinely feels like Wheein is my friend, singing to me to console my heart and my weariness about how I feel for this person. It's like with her honeydew like voice, she's convincing me that this pain is no longer a necessary part in my life and that it's time to say "No thanks" and move on to the next chapter of my life, reborn as someone new and stronger. Listening to water colour after this really enhances the experience of "painting myself the way I want it to be" and simply painting myself as who I am.

True fact: Everyone wants to have a friend like Wheein
