Xoxo Lyrics Translation – Jeon Somi
The lyrics describe specific actions like tearing up photos and deleting a number to show moving on. Somi sings lines that reclaim power, ‘The half I gave away is mine again.’ The songwriter uses physical objects to mark the end of a relationship.
Banjjok gateun sori haji maStop with that ‘other half’ nonsense.
Nae banjjok ije nae geoyaThe half I gave away is mine again.
