An Encore for Jonghyun

Recommended Posts

In honor of Jonghyun's untimely passing, and in honor of him (and Shinee) being my first foray into the K-pop world, I wanted to share my favorite song of them. Its lyrics take on a bittersweet meaning even more now. But he sounded so wonderful in it, as did they all, and it has been my favorite ever since it was released. I thank him for everything that he has done, and I hope he is at peace knowing he was loved by all.

 

An Encore (재연) 

 

 

 

 

Like paint spreading
It becomes clearer by the day
It’s like time is ticking backwards
Things become even clearer

 

After I cross the river of memories
I thought I would forget
But now I threw away
that useless belief and hope

Echoes of silence (Locked inside)
My dried up lips (Filled inside)
As much as the story was long
Our hello felt empty

 

The familiarity made us take it for granted
Our love faded like the waning moon
With cruel words of poison that we didn’t mean
We hurt each other
In the thickly stacked disinterest
Our love grew miserable like a withered flower
We didn’t know how precious each other was
Our lonely season faded

 

Time goes by so quickly
Everyone changes
But there’s one thing that doesn’t change
It grows clearer

 

Awkward wanderings (Strange journeys)
At the end of long drifting (At the end of the road)
I let out my last breath
My conclusion is only one person

 

The familiarity made us take it for granted
Our love faded like the waning moon
With cruel words of poison that we didn’t mean
We hurt each other
In the thickly stacked disinterest
Our love grew miserable like a withered flower
We didn’t know how precious each other was
Our lonely season faded

 

I’m still dreaming
After the darkness goes away
You and I from the sunny days
Will replay itself

 

I ask myself but it’s always the same answer
Like being lost, I keep looking for you
Like fate that was decided from the day I was born,
from the day the world started
I look back but it’s all in the same place
Let’s not go on a path that’s not the right answer
Like a stage with the curtains rising again
Like a scene from a movie that made us shed tears
Like the two stars that end up together after all

 

Rest in Peace. We love you, Jonghyun.
