하마 (Hippo) Lyrics
[“하마 (Hippo)” 가사]
[Verse 1]
눈앞에 하마가 왁 TV에 documentary
괜히 쎄한 이 기분은 뭔데?
잊을만하면 매번 튀어나와
눈 도장을 꼭 찍고 가지
(Hippo) 왜 뜬금없이 거기 있는데
(Hippo) 시선을 뺏어가는 건데
더는 정 줄 생각 없으니
내 눈앞에서 멀리, 더 멀리 사라져 줘
이대론 그날을 떠올리면
그 사람 말고 꼭 네가, 네가, 네가 너만
[Pre-Chorus]
여기다 왁, 하고 저기다 왁
놀래킬 맘은 없었다는 눈
여기다 왁, 하고 저기다 왁
하니 도망가지 뭐 (당연하게도 꺅)
여기다 왁, 하고 저기다 왁
나의 소심을 놀리려는 듯
이러다 꿈에도 나올 것 같이
[Chorus]
돌아다녀 내 머릿속에 하마가
자꾸 맴돌아 그 앞에 미소가
내 귓가에 너의 목소리
세상이 활짝 열린 것 같은 그 향기가
말 한마디 못 걸어보곤 뒤 돌았던
그 시간에 돌아가는 미래엔
너의 뒤에 걸려있던 그 웃는 하마가
아닌 너를 보게 해줘
[Verse 2]
절대로 그 사람이 네게 밀린 게 아냐
너도 첫눈에 반한 하마 앞에 부끄러워져 보면 알아
(Hippo) 혹시 내게 말을 걸까 봐
(Hippo) 그림을 찢고 나올까 봐
입이 떨려 어버버버버
나도 답답해, 답답해, 답답해
내가 답답해, 답답해, 답, 답
Singing it out
[Pre-Chorus]
여기다 왁, 하고 저기다 왁
혹시 날 응원해 주려는 건
아닐까 하고 머리를 써봐도
[Chorus]
너 때문에 기억이 나질 않잖아 하마야
미소를 담은 그 표정이 (표정이), oh
내 귓가에 너의 목소리
세상이 활짝 열린 것 같은 (같은) 그 향기가 (너 (??))
말 한마디 못 걸어보곤 뒤 돌았던
그 시간에 돌아가는 미래엔 (그 미래엔)
너의 뒤에 걸려있던 그 웃는 하마가
아닌 너를 보게 해줘

하마 (Hippo) Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The singer sees a hippo on TV and it triggers a strange, uncomfortable feeling. It’s like a reminder that keeps popping up just when they’re about to forget. That hippo seems to leave a mark every time, just like a persistent memory. It grabs all their attention, even though they don’t want to feel anything anymore. Whenever they think of that past day, it’s not the person they remember—it’s the hippo, symbolizing something unforgettable.
[Pre-Chorus]
The hippo seems to appear everywhere, catching them off guard. It doesn’t seem to mean harm, but still causes a bit of chaos. It pops up here and there like it’s teasing them, making their timid heart feel exposed. It’s so present that it feels like it might even sneak into their dreams.
[Chorus]
That hippo is stuck in their head, constantly swirling around, and always connected to a smiling memory. They can hear a voice and feel a warm scent that once made the world feel wide open. They regret not having spoken back then, and now they wish they could revisit that moment—but this time, instead of seeing just the hippo, they want to see the person behind it.
[Verse 2]
The singer explains that the hippo isn’t more important than the person—it just left a strong impression. They say if you’ve ever been embarrassed in front of something you were instantly drawn to, you’d understand. They’re nervous and tongue-tied, overwhelmed by emotion and frustration that they couldn’t express themselves. So now they’re letting it all out through the song.
[Pre-Chorus]
They wonder if maybe the hippo is actually there to cheer them on, though even thinking that feels like a stretch.
[Chorus]
Because of this hippo, they can’t even remember the person clearly anymore. It’s the smiling expression and the familiar voice that haunt them. That comforting scent still lingers, as if it opened up a beautiful world. They regret not saying anything back then, but if they could return to that time, they want to finally look past the hippo and focus on the person they truly liked.
