Real Man (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Refrain]
This part talks about being drawn to someone like an addiction. Comparing them to nicotine and wine shows how tempting and dangerous they are. The cigarette and wine glass in her hand reflect how she’s willingly letting this person take over her. It’s intense, maybe even harmful, but she can’t resist.

[Chorus]
She’s saying to go all in with life—own everything, spend freely, live fully until it’s over. It’s about not holding back, because everything ends anyway.

[Verse]
Here, she’s calling out fake appearances and shallow living. The silver fur coat and tattoos on the face show flashy, bold choices, but she’s saying being “real” isn’t about acting tough or showing off. She notices people hiding who they really are and pretending to be something else. But none of the things people chase—money, fame, fancy names—can be taken with you when you die. She compares it to a cracked celadon vase, beautiful but broken, showing how life loses meaning when you’re not honest. She repeats that real strength isn’t about being hard, it’s about being true to yourself as a human being.

[Chorus]
She’s reinforcing the idea of living fully and truthfully. It’s not just about having and spending, but doing it while staying real. She’s tired of people denying their true selves and wants to break that pattern. Life’s short—she wants it honest and bold.

[Refrain]
Just like before, she’s giving in to someone who feels like both pleasure and poison. The fire, cigarette, and wine all show how deep she’s sinking into this connection. She knows it’s risky, maybe even damaging, but she’s letting it happen anyway, fully aware of how intoxicating this person is.
