보나마나 (BONAMANA) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is feeling completely drained and lifeless, like time is slipping away without meaning. He’s been waiting endlessly for someone who doesn’t seem to care, leaving him feeling abandoned and miserable. The “dog-like situation” and “beggar” metaphor show how powerless and desperate he feels after losing someone important to him.

[Pre-Chorus]
He questions why he’s feeling this way, like he can’t live without this person. He knows she’s aware of his pain but doesn’t seem to care. Instead of suffering, he suggests she should secretly enjoy life, even if she’s with someone else.

[Chorus]
He starts doubting himself, wondering if he’s the one who’s messed up. He asks if he’s thinking the wrong way, if he’s done something bad, or if his mind is playing tricks on him. Meanwhile, the girl seems perfectly fine, making him even more frustrated.

[Verse 2]
He knows he’s stepping into dangerous territory, chasing something he shouldn’t. He wants to reach out but is afraid of causing trouble. His emotions feel risky, like he’s walking on a tightrope. He’s the only one stressing over this, and he wonders if she can handle the weight of these feelings.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, he’s stuck in the same painful cycle, feeling like he can’t go on without her. But he also tries to justify his emotions, saying things are fine and pushing her to enjoy herself, even if it means keeping secrets.

[Chorus]
The same doubts come back—he wonders if he’s the problem. He feels like he’s losing his grip, while she seems to have no worries at all. He’s struggling to understand why things are so one-sided.

[Bridge]
The late-night meeting suggests a moment of intimacy, but it feels more physical than emotional. He describes the intensity of their interactions, almost like an escape from his inner turmoil. There’s a mix of passion, desperation, and a wish to lose control completely. It’s as if he’s using these encounters to forget his pain, even for a little while.

[Pre-Chorus]
Again, he’s questioning why he’s stuck in this loop, feeling like he’ll break without her. He knows she understands everything but still ignores it. Instead of confronting things, he suggests indulging in some secret fun.

[Chorus]
His doubts don’t fade—he keeps wondering if he’s wrong for feeling this way. Meanwhile, she seems to be moving on without a care, leaving him in an emotional mess.

[Outro]
The late-night moments continue, but there’s no real resolution. It’s clear she’s unbothered, while he’s still struggling with unanswered questions. He’s left with nothing but his own confusion and heartbreak.
