건널목 즈음에서 (Crosswalk) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on how they keep finding themselves drawn to the same place, almost out of habit or instinct, unable to let go. They’re unsure how long this feeling of wandering and waiting will last, with the passing seasons only deepening their sense of loneliness. The once-bright spring flowers, symbolizing happier times, have faded, underscoring the sadness of change and loss.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer admits that, despite the time that’s passed, the regret of what’s been lost still lingers. They recognize that there’s no real way to go back, but something keeps them hoping, even if it’s a faint possibility.

[Chorus]
The chorus reveals the core of the singer’s feelings: they keep returning to a familiar street, almost as if hoping to see their lost love there. They feel stuck, waiting endlessly at this “crossing,” a symbolic place where they shared moments or memories. Despite knowing the person may never return, they continue to wait, holding onto that slim chance.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Seungmin reflects on the shared path the two once walked, acknowledging that while things have changed and they’re now on separate journeys, his feelings remain the same. He expresses a promise to always be there as a supportive light, even if the other person’s presence has slipped away like a shadow distancing itself.

[Verse 3]
Seungmin comes to terms with the reality that getting back together is impossible and accepts that moving forward separately might be for the best. He speaks about self-deception and trying to convince himself to move on, though happiness still feels out of reach. Despite the beauty in his surroundings, he’s preoccupied with a sense of inevitable sadness, choosing to embrace the darkness before it arrives.

[Pre-Chorus]
Seungmin admits that despite his efforts to keep past promises, the other person’s absence has rendered these promises empty and meaningless. Their departure has left him with a feeling of futility in all the things he tried to preserve.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, the singer revisits the idea of returning to that street, hoping for a glimpse of their lost love. They describe the feeling of standing there endlessly, as if time stops at this familiar crossing, where they keep waiting for someone who’s no longer there, clinging to the hope that they’ll return.
