A lyric about a memory so vivid it blurs the line between dream and reality.
A lyric about a memory so vivid it blurs the line between dream and reality.
The lyric works by refusing to resolve the question 'But which is real?'.
It lets the tension between dream and memory sit there, unanswered, which is exactly how that feeling goes.

du nuneul gameumyeon gieogeun eoneusae uril dashi geugoseuro deryeoga
The lyric works by refusing to resolve the question 'But which is real?'. It lets the tension between dream and memory sit there, unanswered, which is exactly how that feeling goes. There's a quiet vanity in wanting to preserve a perfect moment, even if it's just a dream you've rehearsed.
The phrase 'du nuneul gameumyeon gieogeun eoneusae uril dashi geugoseuro deryeoga', close your eyes and the memory somehow takes us back there, gets at the helplessness of a recurring thought. It's not a choice; the mind just goes. The lyric answers a kind of longing to stay in that place, even if it's painful, because the alternative is a world without that person.
It's a plain description of how memory works: you shut your eyes and you're right back there, no permission asked. The 'somehow' in the translation does a lot of work, it admits the speaker doesn't control it either.
The way the phrase 'kkeutkkeutnae hajil mothae', I can't bring it to an end, repeats with slight variations gives the song its stuck, looping quality.
