돌멩이 (Gonna Be A Rock) Lyrics In English Translation – BOYNEXTDOOR

[Verse 1: Leehan, Myung Jaehyun, Woonhak]
In this verse, the artists reflect on their unexpected feelings of isolation and the regret of not being able to turn back time to rectify their past mistakes. They express a sense of inevitability about their breakup and a struggle with understanding how to love properly. The imagery of being solo and the inability to love are central to this section, highlighting the emotional distance and disconnection from their former partner.

[Pre-Chorus: Riwoo, Sungho, (Taesan)]
This section emphasizes the artists' disdain for the concept of love, signified by spelling out "L-O-V-E" and declaring their hatred for it. This sentiment captures the frustration and disillusionment with love, showing a deep emotional struggle and a plea for not being abandoned.

[Chorus: Taesan, Myung Jaehyun]
The chorus uses the metaphor of being a rock to illustrate the desire to cause the same emotional destruction that the artists have felt. By comparing themselves to a rock breaking windows, they express the intensity of their hurt and their wish to inflict a similar pain on their ex-partner.

[Post-Chorus: Woonhak, Riwoo, Leehan, Sungho]
The post-chorus section contrasts the feelings of hatred with a desire for reconciliation, reflecting the inner turmoil of the artists. They express both hatred and a reluctant hope, suggesting that they would rather be a rock—emotionally detached and unfeeling—than face the pain of their current emotional state.

[Verse 2: Taesan]
In this verse, Taesan describes a sense of mental instability and self-reproach, comparing it to a child who has lost their toy and is crying even in front of their parents. This imagery conveys vulnerability and a deep sense of personal failure, as well as an acknowledgment of not being able to handle the emotional pain appropriately.

[Pre-Chorus: Myung Jaehyun, Riwoo, (Sungho)]
Similar to the earlier pre-chorus, this section reaffirms the disdain for love and the plea not to be abandoned. The repetition of this sentiment reinforces the theme of emotional struggle and the rejection of the idea of love as a solution to their problems.

[Bridge: Woonhak]
The bridge reflects on the sleepless nights and the artists’ attempts to move on from the relationship. It indicates a realization that the issues in the relationship may not have been solely their fault, and a recognition that moving forward is now necessary, regardless of the past.

[Chorus: Riwoo & Myung Jaehyun, Taesan & Myung Jaehyun]
This repeated chorus reinforces the desire to inflict emotional damage in retaliation for the hurt experienced. The consistency of this imagery throughout the song highlights the persistent and intense nature of the artists' feelings.

[Post-Chorus: Sungho, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan]
The final post-chorus reiterates the conflicting emotions of hatred and hope, emphasizing the complexity of the artists' feelings and their ultimate wish to become emotionally detached like a rock, rather than facing the painful reality of their emotions.
