Empty
Original by : Winner
Cover by : The Rose
거울 속에 내 모습은 텅
빈 것처럼 공허해
혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅
빈 거리 너무 공허해
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의
아침은 공허해
아침을 맞이 하면서 다시 자각해
날 깨워주는 건 네가 아닌 알람벨
빌어먹을 침대는 왜 이리 넓적해
허허벌판 같은 맘에 시린 바람만 부네
나는 빈 껍데기 너 없인
겁쟁이 주위 사람들의
동정의 눈빛이
날 죽게 만들어 No! what a day
하루 시작 하기 전에 무심코 본
거울 속에 내 모습은 텅
빈 것처럼 공허해
(미소가 없어 표정엔)
혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅
빈 거린 너무 공허해
(내 마음처럼 조용해)
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
(Da dat dat dat da ra)
너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의
아침은 공허해
(내 마음이 너무 공허해)
끝이 났네요 나의 그대여
어디 있나요 이제 우린
추억이 됐죠 행복 했어요
날 잊지 말아요 또 다시 만나요
좋았던 날들과 슬펐던 날들
힘들었던 날들과 행복했던 날들
이젠 지나 가버린 시간 속에 추억이 되어
과거에 머물러 있는 그대와 나는 Over
현실로 돌아온 것 같아
삶의 이유가 사라져 머리가 복잡해
아침에 눈을 뜨면 가슴이 텅 빈 것 같이
공허함을 느껴 너를 만나기 전과 똑같아
거울 속에 내 모습은 텅
빈 것처럼 공허해
(미소가 없어 표정엔)
혼자 길을 걸어봐도 텅
빈 거린 너무 공허해
(내 마음처럼 조용해)
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
(Da dat dat dat da ra)
너란 꿈에서 깬 현실의
아침은 공허해
(내 마음이 너무 공허해)
끝이 났네요 나의 그대여
어디 있나요 이제 우린
추억이 됐죠 행복 했어요
날 잊지 말아요 또 다시 만나요
아직 아른거려요 눈을 감으면 점점
무뎌 지겠죠 시간이 지나면
후회하지는 않아요 좀 아쉬울 뿐이죠
보고 싶지는 않아요 그대가 그리울 뿐이죠
예전 같지 않은
내 모습이 점점 두려워
(미소가 없어 표정엔)
약해져만 가는
내 자신을 보기가 무서워
(내 마음처럼 조용해)
네가 없는
내 주위는 공기 조차 무거워
(Da ra da ra ra ra ra dat)
너란 꿈에서
깬 현실의 아침이
끝이 났네요 (끝이 났네요)
나의 그대여 어디 있나요 (어디 있나요)
이제 우린
추억이 됐죠 행복했어요
(행복했어요)
잊지 말아요 (잊지 말아요)
다시 만나요
My reflection in the mirror
Is so empty, as if there's nothing there
I walk alone on the street
But this empty street feels so empty
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
After waking up from the dream that was you
This morning of reality feels so empty
As I face the morning, I realize once again
What wakes me up is not you but an alarm bell
Why is this damn bed so big?
In my vast desert of a heart, only a cold wind blows
I'm an empty shell,
A coward without you
People around me look at me with pity
It kills me, no what a day
Before starting my day, without thinking I saw
My reflection in the mirror
Is so empty, as if there's nothing there
(There's no smile on my face)
I walk alone on the street
But this empty street feels so empty
(It's quiet just like my heart)
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
(Da dat dat dat da ra)
After waking up from the dream that was you
This morning of reality feels so empty
(My heart feels so empty)
It's over, my love
Where are you?
Now we are just a memory
I was happy, don't forget me, let's meet again
Good days and sad days
Hard days and happy days
Now it becomes memories of the past
The me and you of the past are now over
It's like I came back to reality
My reason to live is gone, my head is complicated
When I open my eyes in the morning, my heart feels empty
I feel the emptiness, just like I did before I met you
My reflection in the mirror
Is so empty, as if there's nothing there
(There's no smile on my face)
I walk alone on the street
But this empty street feels so empty
(It's quiet just like my heart)
Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat
Baby don't worry
(Da dat dat dat da ra)
After waking up from the dream that was you
This morning of reality feels so empty
(My heart feels so empty)
It's over, my love
Where are you?
Now we are just a memory
I was happy, don't forget me, let's meet again
You still flicker before me when I close my eyes
But I'll feel less and less as time goes by
I don't regret it, I'm just a bit sad
I don't miss you, I just long for you
I'm more and more afraid
Because I'm not like myself before
(There's no smile on my face)
I'm scared to see
Myself getting weaker
(It's quiet just like my heart)
Without you,
Even the air around me is heavy
(Da ra da ra ra ra ra dat)
After waking up from the dream that was you
This morning of reality
It's over (it's over)
My love, where are you? (where are you?)
Now we are
Just a memory, I was happy
(I was happy)
Don't forget me (don't forget me)
Let's meet again
Empty originally by Winner depicts the emptiness and loneliness one feels after the end of a significant relationship. The song captures the emotions of loss, longing, and the struggle to move on.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's state of mind. In the intro, the mirror symbolizes their reflection, which appears empty and hollow. They walk through the streets alone, but the emptiness persists, emphasizing their feelings of loneliness. The repetition of Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat and Baby don't worry showcases their attempt to convince themselves that everything will be fine despite their internal struggles.
In the first verse, the protagonist realizes that the mornings no longer bring joy. The alarm clock replaces their significant other as the force that wakes them up, highlighting their solitude. The description of their bed as vast and space-like contributes to their feeling of emptiness. They describe themselves as an empty shell, afraid and lacking courage without their loved one. The sympathetic glances from others only make them feel worse, leading to a sense of despair.
The pre-chorus and chorus express the protagonist's overwhelming sense of emptiness. The mirror reflects their empty appearance, devoid of smiles and expression. Even when walking alone, the streets feel empty and hollow, much like their own heart. The repetition of Da ra dat dat dat dat dat dat" and Baby don't worry emphasizes their attempt to reassure themselves.
The chorus signifies the end of the relationship, as they express their farewell to their beloved and the transition to a new phase. They acknowledge that their memories have become just that, memories, and express the desire to not be forgotten and to meet again in the future.
In the second verse, they reflect on both the happy and difficult times shared with their partner. They feel like their past selves are stuck in the past, unable to move forward and integrate into their current reality. The mornings feel empty and the emptiness they once felt before meeting their loved one returns, making them realize that their heart is still the same as it was before.
The bridge reflects a mix of emotions. They admit that as time passes, the feelings may fade and blur, but they have no regrets except for a lingering sense of longing. They no longer feel the need to see their ex-partner, but they can't escape missing them.
The lyrics in the final section express a growing fear of the changes within themselves. They see their own weakness and vulnerability, which scares them. Without their loved one, even the air around them feels heavy. The repetition of Da ra da ra ra ra ra dat in the last line emphasizes the shift from the dream-like relationship into the harsh reality of mornings.
The song ends with a bittersweet tone, as they bid their final farewell but express the hope of meeting again. Overall, Empty delves into the complex feelings of emptiness, longing, and acceptance experienced after the end of a significant relationship.
