시작된 eclipse, 12개의 눈이 널 가릴지도 몰라Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): si·jak·ttoen eclipse, si·bi·gae·e nu·ni neol ga·ril·jji·do mol·la
Meaning: The eclipse begins — twelve eyes might hide you from view
Words in this line- 시작된si·jak·ttoenbegun
- 12개의si·bi·gae·eof twelve
- 눈이nu·nieyes
- 널neolyou
- 가릴지도ga·ril·jji·domight cover
- 몰라mol·laI don't know
Word for word: Begun eclipse, twelve-count's eyes you might-cover-I-don't-know.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 시작된 means 'begun', 12개의 means 'of twelve items' (개 is a counting word) and 눈 is 'eye'. 가릴지도 몰라 literally says 'I don't know whether it will cover', yet it means 'it might cover'. That gives the threat a casual, confident tone, while 'twelve eyes' paints a picture of a whole group watching.
시작된 eclipse it's over 우릴 다시 가릴지 몰라Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): si·jak·ttoen eclipse it's over u·ril da·si ga·ril·jji mol·la
Meaning: The eclipse that began is over, but it might cover us again
Words in this line- 시작된si·jak·ttoenthat began
- 우릴u·rilus
- 다시da·siagain
- 가릴지ga·ril·jjiwhether it covers
- 몰라mol·laI don't know
Word for word: Begun eclipse, it's over, us again will-cover whether I-don't-know
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 가릴지 means 'whether it will cover' and 몰라 means 'I don't know', but together they simply say 'it might cover us', even though the literal version sounds like confusion. 다시 ('again') hints that the shadow could return. This gives the line a tone of uneasy uncertainty.
다시 우린 마주하게 될 거야Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): da·si u·rin ma·ju·ha·ge doel kkeo·ya
Meaning: We will face each other again
Words in this line- 다시da·siagain
- 우린u·rinwe
- 마주하게ma·ju·ha·geto face
- 될doelwill become
- 거야kkeo·yait will be
Word for word: Again we face-doing become will-be
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 마주하다 means 'to face each other' and 될 거야 means 'will become'. With -게 they form 'we'll end up facing each other', which sounds like fate. 다시 ('again') stresses that the meeting will repeat. The literal version is awkward, but the meaning is a confident promise.

How we make these breakdowns
theIDOL builds every breakdown with AI assistance and automated checks, and publishes a page only after it passes them. An AI model writes the meaning of each line and the word-by-word glosses from the song's timed lyrics. The pronunciation comes from our own rule-based Korean transcriber, which spells how the words sound when sung, sound changes included, not a letter-by-letter romanization. Pages that fail the audio-sync or translation checks are not published, and we quote only a few key lines. If you spot a mistake, write to support@theidol.ai and we will fix it.
