[a-pop-of-korean]

helloo,, if it's not too much trouble, can you do a breakdown of Eternally by TXT? ^^

네! Thank you for your patience! Click here for my full list of K-pop Breakdowns -- if you'd like to see a song broken down that's not on the list, let me know! I love requests :) Hope this is helpful!

ALSO I referred to colorcodedlyrics.com's lyrics and translation to help me out with this! Please take a look at the vocab list I made of some notable words in the song so that the grammar part of the breakdown will be a little easier to follow. To learn more about each grammar point I explain, click on the links to check out my full-length lessons about them if I have any :)

Grammar

잡힐 듯 말 듯 한 네 손

Your hand that is so close yet so far

-ㄹ/을 듯 말 듯

This is the way that colorcodedlyrics translates this line (which is a good translation!), but if I had to give a more literal translation, I'd say "your hand that may or may not be caught."

-[verb stem] + ㄹ/을 듯 means "as if [verb]." So 잡힐 듯 means "as if it [your hand] will be caught."

Adding 말 듯 to this means "as if it will be caught and not be caught" -- 말 듯 adds that the verb might also not be done.

추억의 미로 속 잠긴 내 마음 구해줘, 날 영원의 꿈 제일 깊은 곳 잠든 푸른색 비밀로

My heart is locked in a maze of memories / Save me / In the eternal dream that is the deepest place / My sleeping blue secret

-의

-의 is equivalent to the English -'s used for ownership. It can also be translated as "of." 추억의 미로, for example, means "a maze of memories" or "memories' maze." Other times, it can kinda serve to turn a noun into an adjective. 영원의 꿈 means "an eternal dream," for example.

-아/어/여주다

This structure is attached to verbs to mean that someone does something for someone else. In this context, 구해줘, 날 means "save me" -- they're commanding someone else to do something for their sake.

-ㄴ/은

When attached to adjective stems, -ㄴ/은 makes them noun-modifying. 깊다, for example, means "to be deep," while 깊은 곳 means "deep place." Attaching -ㄴ/은 to the stem allows you to attach it to a noun.

When attached to verb stems, it also makes them noun-modifying, but in the past tense. 잠들다, for example, means "to fall asleep," while 잠든 푸른색 비밀 literally means "the blue dream that fell asleep." (The ㄹ in 잠들 is dropped because it's irregular). Similarly, 잠긴 내 마음 literally means "my heart that was locked." I talk about the present-tense version of this structure in the next section, so hopefully, that will make things a little less confusing!

눈을 떠보니 그 밤 불꽃비가 내리던 날 악몽을 부르는 춤 끝나지 않는 리듬

When I open my eyes, that night / The day when sparks rained down / The dance that called the nightmare / The rhythm that doesn't end

-아/어/여 보니(까)

This structure is used when explaining a realization you have as a result of trying something, according to koreanly.com. It is a combination of -아/어/여 보다, meaning you have tried something, and -(으)니까, showing that your experience was the reason for your realization. So 눈을 떠보니 means "Having opened my eyes [I realize something]." It's a little unclear what the realization is, but I hope that this makes sense anyway!

-던

-던 is another way to make verbs noun-modifying in the past tense, but it's a little different than -ㄴ/은. In short, when attached to verb stems, it communicates that something happened in the past, but that the action was not completed. It can also be used for actions that you used to do habitually but do not do anymore. In the case of 불꽃비가 내리던 날, I think it can mean that it was raining sparks that day, but it never stopped raining -- the action was not completed.

-는

-는 is attached to verb stems to make them noun-modifying in the present tense. 악몽을 부르는 춤 has the verb 부르다, meaning "to call." 부르는 춤 means "the dance that calls" or "the calling dance." Adding the object 악몽을 in front gives it the meaning of "the dance that calls the nightmare." Similarly, 끝나지 않다 means "to not end," so 끝나지 않는 리듬 means "the rhythm that doesn't end."

That’s about it for this breakdown -- I hope it was helpful! Lmk if you have any questions! See you in the next lesson! 다음에 또 봐요!

I refuse to believe there's anyone in this fandom that is normal about eternally

like we could all be sitting in a room talking normally but as soon as that opening hum YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT as soon as that hum blasts on some speakers the entire group would turn into zombie eyed meditators straight out of some alien invasion movie and honestly same

-TXT ACT:LOVE SICK <Eternally>

ワールドツアー ACT:LOVE SICKで初披露された全篇振り付きのEternally

元々Eternallyはとても好きな楽曲だったので、ソウル公演で初披露された際には鳥肌が立ちました。

2021年に無観客オンライン配信のみでの開催となったACT:BOYでは振り付け無し、Aメロパートのみ披露となっていた為、フルバージョンで、しかも全篇振り付きをセトリに入れてきたのは正直驚いたのですが、やはりTXTが辿る物語に欠かせない楽曲なので、今回しっかりと振り付きになったんでしょうね。

全体パフォーマンスが勿論最高なのですが、Eternallyの振り付けはスビンくんが持つ立ち姿のキメの美しさや、手足をしっかりきっちり伸ばす癖があるところ、首をガッツリ動かすところ(笑)、あとは元々手が大きい方なので、手を使った振り付けが映えるなぁ、と思います。特に好きだなぁと思う部分をテストも兼ねてGIFにしてみました😌💕

2枚目の手で顔を覆う振り付けの所は表情もとてもいいんですよね。GIFだと伝わらないので(笑)視聴リンクを貼っておきます。

元々、スビンくんのダンスパフォーマンスがきっかけでTXTに沼落ちをしたので、個人的に本当に彼の動きが好きなんですよね。TXTの中でのダンスマスターといえばそれは勿論ヨンジュンさんなんですが。

それにしてもいつも思うのが、全体パフォーマンスを見るときっちりと動きが揃ったパフォーマンスをするTXTですが、個人カメラでそれぞれを観るとまあ一人一人動きの個性が強いので面白いんですよね。全体で見るとそんな感じしないのに。不思議です。そこも彼らの素敵な魅力の一つだと思います。

5人でのフルパフォーマンスはこちらから。

初めて曲を聴く方は多分、なんだこの曲は！？と驚くと思いますが笑

癖になるんですよねえ。

音楽って楽しいですね、やっ��り。

[thekidsarentalright]

do u guys ever think about the fact that pete wrote the kids arent alright like, about the fans but also like about patrick/fob as a whole. and how patrick is the one who picks what lyrics become songs and how he looked at those lyrics to the kids arent alright, lyrics where pete speaks about how hard life can be but how it can all be worth it if you have Someone to go through it all with, how he would go through Everything in his life again for that person to be by his side in the end and, and went yes. our fans need to hear this, we need to share this, i would do it all again too. we would do it all again for each other and for you. do u ever think about that.
