Now this house ain’t a home (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just grabbing attention, like saying “Hey, listen up!”

[Chorus: Seonghwa, Yunho]
This part talks about how a part of us always stays behind in the past. There’s still so much left to experience, and we shouldn’t live with regrets. It reminds us that our future doesn’t have to follow a certain path, and life is full of unexpected turns. As time passes, roles change and we grow, but we can still feel small or unsure inside.

[Post-Chorus: Yunho]
The place once called home doesn’t feel warm or comforting anymore.

[Verse 1: Mingi, Hongjoong]
Here, they talk about feeling lost in a world full of judgment and expectations. It feels like people outside are always watching, ready to criticize. That pressure makes them doubt themselves and feel out of place. They long for a space where they can be real and accepted. Instead of home, they find comfort in old habits from childhood. Even small things like playgrounds or the sound of family life are missed. There’s regret over not appreciating the old home before chasing something new. The memories—like shadows in the window or family time around the TV—still stay in their heart, and they deeply miss that warm, simple feeling of home.

[Chorus: San, Yeosang]
Again, this part reflects on the idea that we carry parts of our past with us. We grow, life changes, and the people around us shift roles, like children becoming parents. Still, no matter how much we grow, we sometimes feel small inside, unsure of our place in the world.

[Post-Chorus: Yeosang]
The house might still be there, but the feeling of home is gone.

[Verse 2: Jongho, Wooyoung]
They’re having a quiet talk with themselves, wondering if the person they used to be is still there. Growing up feels confusing and sometimes painful. They’re searching for peace—somewhere calm and safe—but haven’t found it yet. They feel tired, emotionally drained, and anxious at night. Tears come, and everything feels blurry, but they push through, holding on to the hope that one day, they’ll find that peaceful place where they truly belong.

[Chorus: Yeosang, San]
Once more, it reminds us how we change and grow, but a part of us always stays behind. Life is unpredictable, and roles shift from one generation to the next. Through all that, we can still feel uncertain or small inside, no matter how far we’ve come.

[Post-Chorus: San]
Even with everything around, it still doesn’t feel like home anymore.

[Outro: Seonghwa]
The house may be standing, but the heart of it—home—is missing.
