돌아버렸어 (Out of My Mind) Lyrics (English Translation) – LEE CHANHYUK (이찬혁)

Meaning of ‘돌아버렸어 (Out of My Mind) (English Translation)’ Lyrics Explained

Verse 1 Meaning:
He feels completely overwhelmed, like the world around him is spinning out of control. In that moment, all he can do is turn away from it. The thing he was holding on to for support, maybe hope or stability, is broken and useless now—so he finally decides to let it go and stop trying to hold on.

Chorus Meaning:
The people watching think he’s putting on a show, like he’s dancing and having fun. But in reality, he’s not performing—he’s just trying to cope, barely holding himself together, simply turning away from everything inside.

Verse 2 Meaning:
His mind feels just as messed up as his surroundings. He’s confused, mentally exhausted, and nothing feels steady anymore. The world feels chaotic, like people and situations are constantly bumping into him. So, instead of fighting it, he just lays down, worn out.

Chorus Meaning:
He sees himself as a clown who’s lost direction—someone who used to make others happy, but now has no purpose. There’s no one left who cares enough to celebrate him or offer comfort. So he keeps wandering around, feeling lost, until finally, he gives up and turns his back on it all.

Bridge Meaning:
He’s crying deeply, even though he’s still spinning around like he’s dancing. It’s a nonstop performance where he hides his pain behind movement. Everything around him—the stage, the act—is falling apart. The show is coming to an end, and the curtain is closing, but the sadness and chaos don’t stop.

Chorus Meaning:
The crowd still thinks he’s dancing, but the truth is, he’s not. He’s emotionally drained, and all he’s been doing is turning away from everything that’s hurting him.
