Already To Me

Lim Changjung's song 'Already To Me' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of love, regret, and the struggle to move forward. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is grappling with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines, 'ikkumi meojeobeolin sungane nan kkaedadgo / neol saenggaghae eojjeom nan neoe himgyeoumeul,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's realization and the heavy burden of their thoughts about their former lover.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of regret and the difficulty of letting go. The lines 'nan neomu himdeuleoseo geuleon iyulo / mannagi mianhae' express the protagonist's apology for not being able to meet due to their overwhelming emotions. This sentiment is further emphasized with the repeated reflection on their past mistakes and the hope that their former lover can still find it in their heart to love them despite their flaws.

The imagery in the song is poignant, with references to 'nagyeobi jin namuwilo hayan seoliga naelin saebyeog' (white snow falling on a tree branch at dawn) symbolizing a fresh start or a new beginning. However, the protagonist is still haunted by their past, as seen in 'imi naegelohayeo jibchaghage mandeun neon / banghwange jichyeo sseuleojyeo beolin naega dasi ileoseoneun moseub,' where they question if they can ever rise again after being worn out by despair. The song beautifully captures the essence of human vulnerability and the complex emotions that come with love and loss.
