Cherry (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer is trying to forget someone but can’t. Their memory keeps coming back like a lingering scent, reminding them of that person’s presence even when they’re gone.

[Verse 1]
He’s hiding his true emotions, trying to keep them locked away, but they keep coming back whenever he sees that person again. He avoids eye contact and runs from his feelings, pretending not to care. Yet, every touch and every small memory stays deeply inside him. The sweetness of that person still lingers in his mind, even though there’s distance between them.

[Pre-Chorus]
He remembers their last kiss and chooses to stay silent about his pain. Instead of facing the truth, he pretends not to see the sadness between them.

[Chorus]
He’s stuck between trying to move on and still being pulled back by memories. No matter how much he pretends to forget, that person’s presence and scent remain with him.

[Post-Chorus]
He’s trapped in a dream-like state where he wants to stay close but can’t face reality. Even though he tries to hide it, he can’t lie about his feelings.

[Verse 2]
Every day feels like a blur of memories and emotions. He can almost feel that person’s touch but knows they’re out of reach. His eyes reveal what his words can’t say. Even during painful nights, his feelings don’t fade—they melt into his tears and memories that refuse to disappear.

[Pre-Chorus]
He relives that soft, final kiss again, swallowing the emotions he can’t speak. He keeps pretending not to notice the heartbreak between them.

[Chorus]
The feeling of that person remains uncertain but powerful. He keeps trying to forget, yet memories suddenly return. What’s left is the scent of love that refuses to fade away.

[Post-Chorus]
He knows it’s all like a dream, yet he doesn’t want to wake up. He asks the other not to look too closely, afraid they’ll see through his unspoken feelings.

[Bridge]
He feels the sadness of something that hasn’t changed yet still hurts. He wants to be close but fears that expressing it might ruin everything. Their eyes meet awkwardly, but he still wants to hold on tightly and never let go, even for one night.

[Chorus]
He tries to convince himself he’s over it, but the memories keep returning. The person’s scent and presence linger, and deep down, he just wants them to stay close again.

[Outro]
A quiet sigh of longing and unspoken emotion.
