해파리 (Jellyfish) (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep under the sea
Where the sun doesn’t shine
No one would notice if I disappear
I want to be the jellyfish’s right hand
I want to disappear without a trace
I don’t care what goes on out of the water
Do as the jellyfish does, party for one
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m washed up on the shore
What am I searching for?
It’s such a delight just to see you
‘Cause you’ve got something
The secret of the lonesome sea
Just cruising with no destination
You’re drawn to someplace we don’t know
[Chorus]
Just keep swimming
No good reason
Plenty busy just drifting about
Not much meaning to life
Why is there no heart?
I feel it too
Grievously wanting a life like yours
You’ll be a floating soul forever
My mellow personal abyss
[Verse 2]
And then sink
Lie back and watch the currents
We finally slow down
Jellyfish, why don’t you know
How beautiful you are
You’re busy breathing, I’ll appreciate you in your stead
[Chorus]
Just keep swimming
We still have a long way to go
I just go with the flow
Just keep swimming
No good reason
[Outro]
Plenty busy just drifting about
Perhaps I’m someone else’s jellyfish struggling to survive
해파리 (Jellyfish) Meaning
[Verse 1]
HUH YUNJIN introduces a deeply introspective tone, likening herself to a jellyfish in the unreachable depths of the ocean. This imagery reflects her longing to disappear without a trace and live disconnected from the surface world. The verse conveys a strong desire for freedom and invisibility, painting the jellyfish as a symbol of quiet detachment and self-contained peace. The mention of wanting to host a solitary “party” reinforces the solitude she seeks, highlighting a disconnect from societal norms.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus illustrates Yunjin’s existential search for meaning as she metaphorically washes ashore. Despite her isolation, she finds comfort in observing someone who seems to hold a secret of the vast, lonely sea. The passage suggests a subtle yet profound connection between her and this mysterious figure, as she drifts aimlessly in life. Her journey symbolizes the unpredictability of existence and the search for purpose amidst uncertainty.
[Chorus]
The chorus underscores the song’s central metaphor of continuous swimming, even without a clear reason. Yunjin reflects on the seemingly purposeless rhythm of life and questions how one can feel deeply without a heart. This section highlights her sadness at desiring a life as tranquil and aimless as a jellyfish’s, while also revealing her awareness of the soulful melancholy that accompanies such a life. The imagery of a drifting soul deepens the introspective narrative, emphasizing the themes of existential wandering and quiet sorrow.
[Verse 2]
In this verse, HUH YUNJIN shifts to observing the slow currents while sinking deeper into the ocean. She ponders the jellyfish’s unawareness of its own beauty, drawing parallels to herself. Yunjin seems to find solace in recognizing and appreciating the simple beauty of existence on behalf of the jellyfish. This reflection adds a layer of self-awareness, as she contemplates life’s fleeting nature and the moments of stillness within it.
[Chorus]
The second chorus reiterates the theme of relentless motion, even when the purpose remains elusive. Yunjin acknowledges that life demands constant movement, yet she allows herself to simply drift along. This repetition reinforces the cyclical, meditative quality of the song and its central message of accepting the flow of life’s currents without resistance.
[Outro]
The outro provides a poignant resolution, where Yunjin reflects on the inevitable exhaustion that comes from simply surviving. She acknowledges that, like a jellyfish, she may unknowingly serve as a source of inspiration or comfort to others. This final sentiment conveys a bittersweet acceptance of her role in the larger, interconnected fabric of life, leaving a lingering sense of quiet beauty and introspection.
