Once again, QWER does what they do best — pairing bright, bouncy melodies with lyrics that hit right in the heart. Their new song “Dear (눈물참기)” is all about the struggle of dealing with pain when you don’t know how to be okay yet.

Let’s take a look at these lines:

“차디차고 너무 아파요

괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말”

“It’s ice-cold and it hurts so much.

All that ‘you’ll be okay’ stuff? Just lies.”

⸻

🎧 Language & Emotion Breakdown:

1️⃣ 차디차고 – Freezing cold

    •    From “차다” (to be cold), intensified with “-디-”

→ Cold not just physically, but emotionally numb.

2️⃣ 너무 아파요 – It hurts so much

    •    “아프다” (to hurt) in polite form.

→ The pain is overwhelming, honest, raw.

3️⃣ 괜찮다는 말 – The words “It’ll be okay”

    •    Quoting common comfort phrases…

→ But they feel distant, untrue.

4️⃣ 다 거짓말 – All lies

    •    “거짓말” = lie

→ Highlights that sometimes, comfort sounds fake when you’re truly struggling.

🌧️ Why it hits so hard

This isn’t just a sad song. It’s a real one.

It validates the feeling of not being okay.

It lets you cry, and then dances with you through it.

QWER’s genius? Making emotional honesty something you can sing along to.

⸻

🫧 Save this for a rainy day playlist. And remember:

Even if you don’t know how to stop the tears yet,

you’re not crying alone. 💙
