    I. Introduction

    "Forever Only" is a digital single from Jaehyun of the boy group NCT 127, a permanent sub-unit of the boy group NCT. It is the fourth single of SM Station NCT Lab and was released on August 18, 2022.


    SM Station is a digital music project under SM Entertainment that involves solos or duets from members in existing SM groups, as well as opportunities for singers to experiment in other genres or collaborate with artists inside and outside of SM Entertainment. The project releases a number of singles digitally each year on digital platforms, including streaming audio like Spotify.


    SM announced a new project under SM Station to focus around the boy group NCT. NCT Lab will include solo songs, self-composed tracks and sub-unit work outside of the group's albums.


    Jaehyun is one of the main vocalists of NCT 127 and one of the co-writers of the song. The song is a guitar-driven mid-tempo R&B song. The other co-writers have written a number of R&B songs for NCT.


    He described the song as "sexy lonely" and said on an IG live ahead of the song's debut that he wanted to "release a song filled with my voice, with my feelings" and "share the true part of himself" through his music.


    This was Jaehyun's first solo song. His previous Station song was a duet.

    [Intro]

    너의 빈 자리

    Noe bin jari

    The empty space you left behind


    더 짙게 너를 느낀

    Do jitkke noreul neukkin

    Fills me with deeper longing for you

    조금 뒤늦은 irony

    Jogeum dwineujeun irony

    A bit late irony

    길 잃은 맘은 lonely, lonely

    Gil ireun mameun lonely, lonely

    My lost heart is lonely, lonely


    [Verse 1]

    늘 익숙한 거릴

    Neul ikssukan goril

    How familiar these streets


    계속해서 헤매던 우리

    Gyesokaeso hemaedon uri

    We've been wandering around


    짙어지는 불빛 (Yeah)

    Jitojineun bulppit (Yeah)

    When the lights deepen (Yeah)


    선명해지지 않는 빈자리

    Sonmyonghaejiji anneun binjari

    Your empty space not getting any clearer


    Where you been my whole life? (Where you been?)


    돌아누우면 흐릿했던

    Doranuumyon heuritaettton

    One toss and turn, you fade


    홀로 남겨진 꿈이었던 (홀로 남겨진)

    Holro namgyojin kkumiottton holro namgyojin

    Alone, it was all a dream (alone, it was all)


    환영이었나

    Hwanyongionna

    Was it a vision?


    [Chorus]

    너의 빈 자리 (Oh)

    Noe bin jari (Oh)

    The empty space you left behind (Oh)


    더 짙게 너를 느낀

    Do jitkke noreul neukkin

    Fills me with deeper longing for you


    조금 뒤늦은 irony

    Jogeum dwineujeun irony

    A bit late irony


    길 잃은 맘은 lonely, lonely

    Gil ireun mameun lonely, lonely

    My lost heart is lonely, lonely


    아프게 번진

    Apeuge bonjin

    Leaving a pain that spreads


    이별의 마지막 kiss (Oh, yeah, yeah)

    Ibyore majimak kiss (Oh, yeah, yeah)

    The goodbye and a final kiss (Oh, yeah, yeah)


    내겐 너의 뒷모습만이

    Naegen noe dwinmoseummani

    Now I see you walking away


    Be my forever only, only (Only)


    [Verse 2]

    불빛 아른댄 바다 위로 비친 (위로 비친)

    Bulppit areundaen bada wiro bichin wiro bichin

    Your reflection on the shimmering ocean

    널 담아 반짝이는 that view (That view)

    Nol dama banjjagineun that view (That view)

    Glittering just like how you do, that view (That view)

    손 닿으면 어느새 흩어져

    Son daeumyon oneusae heutojo

    One touch and it fades away

    잡힐 듯 널 잡을 수가 없고

    Japil tteut nol jabeul ssuga opkko

    So close I feel you, but never have you

    Ooh-ooh

    네가 이미 없는 이 순간 (네가 이미 없는 이 순간)

    Nega imi omneun i sungan nega (imi omneun i sungan)

    This moment when you're already gone (this moment when you're already gone)

    여전히도 너무 선명한 (Oh-oh)

    Yojonhido nomu sonmyonghan (Oh-oh)

    Still, you're so vivid in my mind (Oh-oh)

    너는 또다시 날 찾아와, oh yeah (Oh, yeah)

    Noneun ttodasi nal chajawa, oh yeah (Oh, yeah)

    Again, you find me, oh yeah

    Fills me with deeper longing for you


    조금 뒤늦은 irony

    A bit late, irony


    길 잃은 맘은 lonely, lonely (I'll be forever lonely, yeah)

    Gil ireun mameun lonely, lonely (I'll be forever lonely, yeah)

    My lost heart is lonely, lonely (I'll be forever lonely, yeah)


    아프게 번진

    Be my, be my (Yeah, yeah)

    Be my forever only

    Be my, be my (Oh-oh-oh)

    Be my forever only


    [Verse 3]

    어스름히 짙어지는 밤바다 위

    Oseureumhi jitojineun bambada wi

    Dusk settles on the darkening night sea

    물들이는 둘의

    Muldeurineun dure

    The colors deepen

    일렁이는 눈빛

    Ilrongineun nunppit

    Two gazes ebb and flow

    까마득히 보이지 않는 밤바다 밑

    Kkamadeuki boiji anneun bambada mit

    Under the night sea, far out of sight

    갈수록 깊숙이

    Galssurok gipssugi

    Sink deeper and deeper

    남아있는 온기

    Namainneun ongi

    The warmth still remains


    [Bridge]

    너의 memories

    Noe memories

    Memories of you

    떠난 후에 온전히

    Ttonan hue onjonhi

    All that I have now that you're gone

    내 것이 된 이 흔적만이

    Nae gosi dwen i heunjongmani

    These traces cherished only by me

    Uh, be my forever only (Yeah)


    [Chorus]

    너의 빈 자리 (자리)
