Daisy — PENTAGON: meaning, key lines and pronunciation
What does “Daisy” by PENTAGON mean?
PENTAGON’s “Daisy” is about a singer left burned by a love that proved false, caught between bitter wishes and feelings that won’t fade. Memories burn, a white-petaled daisy stands for the love that hurt yet stays close, and a hazy late-night visit meets a cold gaze and a crying bluebird.
What the song is about
Anger slowly softens into a wish for the other person’s happiness and a plea not to leave.
Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
네가 뭘 하든 간에, 아무 상관없고Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): ni·ga mwol ha·deun ga·ne, a·mu sang·gwa·neop·kko
Meaning: Whatever you do, I don't care
Words in this line- 네가ni·gayou (subject)
- 뭘mwolwhat
- 하든ha·deunwhether you do
- 간에,ga·ne,regardless
- 아무a·muany
- 상관없고sang·gwa·neop·kkoirrelevant
Word for word: You what do whether between, any relation not-exist.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 하든 is 'whether you do' and 간 is 'between', but together they mean 'no matter what'. 상관없고 literally 'there is no relation', which in real speech is 'it doesn't matter to me'.
너 하나 없을 뿐인데 미칠 것 같아Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neo ha·na eop·sseul ppu·nin·de mi·chil kkeot kka·ta
Meaning: It's only that you're gone, yet I feel like I'm going mad
Words in this line- 너neoyou
- 하나ha·naone
- 없을eop·sseulabsent
- 뿐인데ppu·nin·deonly, and yet
- 미칠mi·chilto go mad
- 것kkeotthing
- 같아kka·taseems
Word for word: You one absent-will merely-though, go-mad thing seems.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 뿐인데 means 'only... and yet', a tail that carries disbelief that one person's absence causes so much. 미칠 것 같아 is 'go mad' plus 'seems', so 'I feel like I'm about to snap'. The separate words do not carry that feeling.
거짓말 다 거짓말 거짓말이야Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): geo·jin·mal da geo·jin·mal geo·jin·ma·ri·ya
Meaning: Lies, all lies, it's a lie.
Words in this line- 거짓말geo·jin·mallie
- 다daall
- 거짓말geo·jin·mallie
- 거짓말이야geo·jin·ma·ri·yait's a lie
Word for word: Lie, all lie, lie-is.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 거짓말 alone means 'lie' and 다 means 'all, entirely'. The ending -이야 has no separate English word but turns the noun into a casual assertion, 'it IS a lie'. So the literal version looks clipped, while the real meaning is a bitter, repeated denial.
거지 같아도, 난 그냥 살아Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): geo·ji ga·ta·do, nan geu·nyang sa·ra
Meaning: Even if it's crappy, I just keep living.
Words in this line- 거지geo·jibeggar
- 같아도,ga·ta·do,even if like
- 난nanI
- 그냥geu·nyangjust
- 살아sa·ralive
Word for word: Beggar-like even-if, I just live.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 거지 alone means 'beggar' and 같아도 means 'even if it resembles'. Together 거지 같다 is a rough 'crappy, lousy'. 그냥 means 'just, as is', and with 살아 it gives a stubborn 'I just carry on living'.

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.
