ZIG-ZAG (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Counting to set the mood and rhythm.

[Verse 1]
There’s this quiet question stuck in the singer’s head—asking if she’s happy—and it keeps bothering her. It feels pointless, like it’s clinging to her for no reason. Her past life felt dull and empty, like it lacked color or flavor. Singing was her way of escaping that numbness, though she now sees it as a silly attempt to run away from pain.

[Pre-Chorus]
She couldn’t even bring herself to be angry or bitter. Maybe she was too innocent or too clueless to handle those emotions. Looking back, everything feels like a story full of lies. It’s so unreal and fake that she can’t help but laugh at how messed up it all seems.

[Chorus]
She’s in real pain—deep and intense—but part of her still hopes something good might happen. She hates the situation and how twisted everything has become. She’s confused, wondering if what she feels is even real or just another lie. She wants to rip out all the broken parts inside her. People can call her heartless or anything they want, but all she really wants is to move on and leave her trauma behind.

[Verse 2]
She never learned how to rely on others. Maybe she didn’t come across as lovable or sweet enough. Her nights are filled with loud, noisy thoughts of regret. People always say to just forget the past and move on, and even though she knows that’s true, it’s easier said than done.

[Pre-Chorus]
She wasn’t even allowed to wish or pray for better things, so she closed herself off and became someone unrecognizable. She can’t even remember what kind of person she used to be. Everything feels tangled and messy, like she’s stuck in a web she can’t escape.

[Chorus]
She’s still hurting a lot and pretending to be the tragic main character of her own story. She hates it all and wonders if it’s even worth continuing. Still, there’s a strong desire to see that person again. Her thoughts are so messed up and tangled, and even if she breaks everything again tomorrow, she’ll deal with it. Her pain has become such a part of her that she can’t help but feel attached to it.

[Bridge]
In her dreams, she’s back with that person, holding hands like they did when things were simple and they didn’t understand much about the world. But she knows dreams don’t last. She’s asking them to gently end things before it becomes even more painful.

[Chorus]
She’s crying out from the pain again, still secretly hoping something might change. The situation feels so wrong, and she can’t stop hating it. She’s not sure if this pain is real or if it’s just another false feeling. She wants to tear out every part of her that’s broken. Others might judge her, but all she wants is to finally let go of the trauma that’s been haunting her.
