Never Ending Story Lyrics

[Verse]
손 닿을 수 없는 저기 어딘가
오늘도 난 숨 쉬고 있지만
너와 머물던 작은 의자 위에
같은 모습의 바람이 지나네

[Pre-Chorus]
너는 떠나며 마치 날 떠나가듯이
멀리 손을 흔들며
언젠가 추억에 남겨져 갈 거라고

[Chorus]
그리워하면 언젠가 만나게 되는
어느 영화와 같은 일들이 이뤄져 가기를
힘겨워 한 날에 너를 지킬 수 없었던
아름다운 시절 속에 머문 그대이기에

[Pre-Chorus]
너는 떠나며 마치 날 떠나가듯이
멀리 손을 흔들며
언젠가 추억에 남겨져 갈 거라고

[Chorus]
그리워하면 언젠가 만나게 되는
어느 영화와 같은 일들이 이뤄져 가기를
힘겨워 한 날에 너를 지킬 수 없었던
아름다운 시절 속에 머문 그대여
그리워하면 언젠가 만나게 되는
어느 영화와 같은 일들이 이뤄져 가기를
힘겨워 한 날에 너를 지킬 수 없었던
아름다운 시절 속에 머문 그대이기에

Never Ending Story Lyrics Meaning

[Verse]
In the opening verse, IU sets a melancholic tone, placing herself in a world where her physical reality is marked by absence. The image of an empty chair once shared with a loved one and the breeze passing through evokes a deep sense of loneliness. Despite going through the motions of daily life, IU expresses how the memory of this person continues to linger in ordinary places.

[Pre-Chorus]
IU conveys the pain of parting, likening the farewell to being personally abandoned. The imagery of someone waving goodbye from afar captures both emotional and physical distance. There is a quiet acceptance that, while painful, this moment will eventually settle into the realm of memory, becoming something to look back on rather than live through.

[Chorus]
The chorus brings a touch of hope into the sorrow. IU sings about the romantic belief that longing may one day lead to reunion, like in a film where destiny brings lovers back together. She expresses regret for not being able to protect the person during difficult times, placing them instead in the “beautiful season” of her past. This portrayal of lost love preserved in a better time adds emotional richness to her sorrow.

[Pre-Chorus]
The repetition of the pre-chorus reinforces the inevitability of loss and memory’s role in softening its edges. IU’s voice suggests a quiet resignation, emphasizing that while the person is gone, the emotional imprint remains, slowly becoming part of her nostalgic landscape.

[Chorus]
The chorus returns with added emotional weight, reiterating the idea that love, even when unfulfilled, lives on as a lasting memory. The repetition reflects the cycle of remembering and yearning, and the final lines highlight the emotional contradiction of cherishing someone you could not hold on to—someone forever preserved in the beautiful season of youth and love.
