수영 (SWIMMING)

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of internal turmoil, a desperate plea for emotional stillness. The narrator addresses their own heart, urging it to calm down, recalling a recent state of normalcy that feels impossibly distant. This internal command, "잔잔해져라 나의 마음아" (Calm down, my heart), sets a tone of urgent self-control against an overwhelming emotional tide. The fear of being seen, "누가 볼까 두려워" (I'm afraid someone will see), suggests a vulnerability that the narrator desperately wants to conceal, highlighting a conflict between inner experience and outward presentation.
