The repeated plea 'Geojitmal irago', 'Tell me it's a lie', isn't just denial.
It's the specific, desperate bargain you make when the truth has nothing left to give you.

Geojitmal irago Da kkumi.eotdago haejwo
The repeated plea 'Geojitmal irago', 'Tell me it's a lie', isn't just denial. It's the specific, desperate bargain you make when the truth has nothing left to give you. 'Da kkumi.eotdago haejwo' means 'Tell me it was all a dream,' which is the only way to keep the memory from turning into pure loss.
Asking for the lie and the dream in the same breath, it collapses the distance between what was false and what was beautiful. The request feels less like a question and more like a last piece of self-preservation.
The way the phrase 'Geojitmarigil baraesseo' ('I hoped it was a lie') returns each chorus, a little more worn down each time.
