Ash Lyrics Meaning – Le Sserafim
Eleven-eleven
천사들 내 침대 윌 맴돌 때
난 성냥을 켠 채
까만 밤에 잠겨서 소원해
The song starts with a reference to 11:11, often associated with making wishes. The singer imagines angels around them as they light a match, lost in the darkness, making a wish.
나약함을 거둬
새롭게 하소서
They ask to be freed from weakness and to be made new again, hinting at transformation.
I want you to stop the time
불꽃이 날 태우는 이 순간
마침내 나 숨 쉬려 해
아픔이란 파도에
부서지는 재가 되어 live again
Like oh, oh, oh
아플수록 alive
재 속에서 새롭게 태어나
Nothing lasts forever, baby
다시 피어나려 해
내 온몸에 기름 붓고 light the flame
Like oh, oh, oh
I don’t wanna stop
They wish to freeze this moment of burning passion and pain, as it signifies rebirth. Even though suffering feels overwhelming, it’s a process of renewal—like a phoenix rising from the ashes. They embrace transformation by fueling the fire within them.
Don’t be afraid, 천사들 속삭여 내게
이 암흑이 널 빚어내
Feel the feelings you never felt
몇 번이고 태워도 태워 더, can’t get enough
Oh, no, oh, no
The angels whisper reassurance, telling them that darkness shapes who they are. They encourage embracing emotions fully, even if it means burning over and over.
검게 남을 나를
빛나게 하소서
They acknowledge that they will be left scarred and burned but hope to shine despite it.
I want you to stop the time
불꽃이 날 태우는 이 순간
마침내 나 숨 쉬려 해
아픔이란 파도에
부서지는 재가 되어 live again
Like oh, oh, oh
아플수록 alive
재 속에서 새롭게 태어나
Nothing lasts forever, baby
다시 피어나려 해
내 온몸에 기름 붓고 light the flame
Like oh, oh, oh
I don’t wanna stop
This repeats the idea that pain and destruction are not endings but new beginnings. They accept that suffering makes them feel alive and push themselves to transform once more.
몇 번이고 태워도 태워 더, can’t get enough
Oh, no, oh, no
They acknowledge the cycle of burning and renewal, craving it even though it’s painful.
아름다워 new life
새살 내게 돋아나는 순간
껍질을 다 벗은 끝에
12시에 시작될
새로워진 날을 향해 spread my wings
Like oh, oh, oh
아플수록 alive
재 속에서 새롭게 태어나
Nothing lasts forever, baby
타올라 더 파랗게
불길 속에 남을 나의 발자취
Like oh, oh, oh
The song concludes with a final rebirth. They describe shedding their old self like a shell and stepping into a new day at midnight. They spread their wings, symbolizing freedom, while leaving behind a lasting mark in the flames.
