I don’t always check out lyrics to kpop songs (in fact, sometimes it’s better not knowing), but Day6 has some that I really adore.

You were “you”
I was “I”
We’ve been living without
Knowing each other
With a “Hi”
Now, it’s you and me
It’s “us” now

Hi Hello has such sweet lyrics that although could be taken romantically, are made all the better through the cutest story of forming a band off the side of the road and finding friendship in the MV.

Beanies, what are some of your favorite kpop lyrics?

    I love day6’s For Me. Every single word of it.

    Both verses and the chorus.

    Who are you?
    With that weary stare
    Why are you looking at me and sighing deeply?
    Though we’ve been together longer than anyone else I still don’t know you

    Maybe I haven’t once said a comforting word to you
    I want to get to know you
    You, not anybody else
    The me stuck in the mirror about to cry
    Now I want to know you
    You’ve done well so far on your own I’ll tell myself
    For me

    Where did the dreams that I had when I was young go?
    I still don’t know you
    Maybe I wanted to hide the weaknesses you had, so I turned away.

    AND THE BRIDGE:

    I wanna thank you
    For not giving into tiredness
    For continuing to be with me and leading me
    From now on I will start to love you
    I mean I will love me now

      Oh wow, I hadn’t looked these up before. Beautiful and emotional self-reflection. Those lyrics really hit home.

    Obviously, it’s EXO-CBX’s
    “What can I say? HOROLOLOLOLOLOLO”

    You already know this but I also love all of Stray Kids’ lyrics.
    Even “(she’s hot!)” because it gave the world the best reaction videos blessed with 3RACHA dying in embarrassment.

    Another day6 one: Hurt Road

    How many times a day
    Will my tears swell up?
    Even though I try to count
    I can’t
    Because I’m always trying to hold the tears in

    How am I these days?
    When you see me
    I wonder if I look like I’m okay
    I don’t know what kind of expressions I’m doing these days

    If I were you
    I would hug myself without a word
    If you were me
    You would cry in my embrace

    You knew and I knew
    That this is not an easy road
    It’s not that you and I didn’t know
    That not many flowers bloom on this road

    How are you these days?
    When I see you
    You seem the same as me
    You look sad no matter what, these days

    If I were you
    I would hug myself without a word
    If you were me
    You would cry in my embrace

    You knew and I knew
    That this is not an easy road
    It’s not that you and I didn’t know
    That not many flowers bloom on this road

    The flowers that are seen from time to time
    I didn’t know how precious they were
    Because they’re so beautiful and lovely
    Should we stay here?

    I really like the lyrics to Day6’s How Can I Say. It was a very different perspective on a relationship and one that I could relate to a lot when I first heard it.
    I also like the lyrics for 1:31 AM

      Wooo, more Day6! How Can I Say…is very relatable. I feel like I’ve been on both sides of the coin with the way those lyrics are written. It captures a really heartbreaking moment when you realize a relationship is just…over.

      That live performance of 1:31 AM was beautiful! JB and Youngjae are wonderful. I especially liked these lyrics:
      “The way you smile, don’t ever lose that
      If it ever gets hard
      You can come find me again…”

    Gain released a lot of really great solo stuff and one of my favourite is Truth or Dare. https://youtu.be/dmUwNaIEZ1g
    It’s about people talking behind her back and spreading rumours while they don’t even know each other.

    Wanna know the truth, all the truth
    The important is the more you talk about me
    It’s nice, very nice
    The more rumours there are, the better it is
    I just laugh that’s how easy I am
    I have about ten tails you don’t even know
    Everyone has misunderstandings
    The way I smile, the way I talk, the way I walk is a bit…
    Don’t be like that and just say it
    I expected it
    We only know each other’s names
    But I guess you would be crazy if we brushed our fingers

      Gain definitely doesn’t shy away from some powerful stuff. I love the way those lyrics are written!

        Yes! She’s provocative in a classy way and lots of thought are put in her lyrics. Bad Temper is an other favourite of mine because she seems so… human(?).
