Pierrot Lyrics (Korean)
아직 어린 내게 또 무슨 짓을 하게 또 이 더러운 손 치워 상대도 하지마 어제의 우리가 아냐 No just do not touch me I’m not a pierrot 더 넓은 하늘을 등 지고 살고 싶어 자유를 날고 싶어 더 높이 fly fly 나만의 생각이 있어 나만의 인생이 있어 감옥 같은 그때 추억하기 싫어 영원히 bye bye bye 너의 그 생각 집어 쳐 너의 그 핑계 집어 쳐 죽도록 더 고통스러운 날들로 가득할 테니까 눈 감아도 보여 난 이제 master 끝없이 파고 들어오는 건 no. no 그 정도 화보 따위에 가두려 하지마 세상을 잘 봐, 너무나 멋져 No just do not touch me I’m not a pierrot 더 넓은 하늘을 등지고 살고 싶어 자유를 날고 싶어 더 높이 fly fly 나만의 생각이 있어 나만의 인생이 있어 감옥 같은 그때 추억하기 싫어 영원히 bye bye bye 너의 그 생각 집어 쳐 너의 그 핑계 집어 쳐 죽도록 더 고통스러운 날들로 가득할 테니까 No future no freedom Just like a chase for us But it don’t matter now We’re just gonna walk our way For the rest of my life 나만의 생각이 있어 나만의 인생이 있어 감옥 같은 그때 추억하기 싫어 영원히 bye bye bye 너의 그 생각 집어쳐 너의 그 핑계 집어쳐 죽도록 더 고통스러운 날들로 가득할테니까

Pierrot Lyrics in English (Translation)
Still to this young me,
What are you trying to make me do again?
Take away this dirty hand,
Don't even bother with me.
We are not who we were yesterday.
No, just do not touch me.
I'm not a pierrot.
I want to live with a wider sky behind me,
I want to fly freely, higher, fly, fly.
I have my own thoughts.
I have my own life.
I don't want to recall that time like a prison.
Forever, bye, bye, bye.
Throw away those thoughts of yours,
Throw away those excuses of yours.
Because days more painful than death
Will surely be filled.
Even with my eyes closed, I see, I am now the master.
Endlessly digging in? No, no.
Don't try to trap me in some photoshoot like that.
Look closely at the world, it's so wonderful.
No, just do not touch me.
I'm not a pierrot.
I want to live with a wider sky behind me,
I want to fly freely, higher, fly, fly.
I have my own thoughts.
I have my own life.
I don't want to recall that time like a prison.
Forever, bye, bye, bye.
Throw away those thoughts of yours,
Throw away those excuses of yours.
Because days more painful than death
Will surely be filled.
No future, no freedom,
Just like a chase for us.
But it don't matter now.
We're just gonna walk our way
For the rest of my life.
I have my own thoughts.
I have my own life.
I don't want to recall that time like a prison.
Forever, bye, bye, bye.
Throw away those thoughts of yours,
Throw away those excuses of yours.
Because days more painful than death
Will surely be filled.
About Pierrot
Imagine the quiet resolve that settles after a storm, perhaps as dawn breaks after a long, difficult night, and you stand on the precipice of a new beginning. That's the emotional weather of JYJ's "Pierrot." This song captures the exhilarating moment of definitively cutting ties with a past that sought to control and diminish, asserting a vibrant, independent future.
"Pierrot" speaks directly to anyone who has felt the suffocating grip of another's expectations or manipulations. When the narrator declares, "I'm not a pierrot," it’s a powerful rejection of playing a role for someone else's amusement or control. It’s for listeners ready to demand, "Take away this dirty hand," and step into their own story, seeking a "wider sky" and the freedom to "fly freely."
Listeners return to this song for its uncompromising spirit and clear message of liberation. It's a reminder that reclaiming one's thoughts and life from a "prison-like time" is not just possible, but essential. The blend of direct, confrontational Korean phrases with English declarations like "No just do not touch me" gives it a modern, universal resonance for asserting personal boundaries.
Song Background & Story
JYJ's "Pierrot" opens with a young person at their breaking point, their voice sharp with anger and a demand for immediate distance. The opening lines, "Still to this young me, / What are you trying to make me do again?" set a confrontational tone, quickly followed by the urgent command, "Take away this dirty hand." This isn't a plea; it's a definitive rejection of past control and manipulation, signaling that "We are not who we were yesterday."
The emotional journey quickly shifts from anger to a fierce declaration of independence. The narrator firmly states, "No just do not touch me, I'm not a pierrot," refusing to be a mere puppet or performer for someone else. There's a palpable yearning for a life unburdened by past constraints, as they express a desire to live under a "wider sky" and to "fly freely, higher, fly, fly." The recollection of "that time like a prison" is something they want to leave behind forever, with a resolute "bye, bye, bye."
By the song's close, the initial fury has distilled into a calm, unshakeable resolve. The narrator acknowledges past struggles, but asserts complete autonomy over their future. The repeated affirmation, "I have my own thoughts, I have my own life," culminates in the powerful declaration, "But it don't matter now, We're just gonna walk our way / For the rest of my life." It's the story of someone who has not just escaped, but has fully claimed their path forward.
Poetic Meaning & Analysis
The heart of JYJ's "Pierrot" lies in its central metaphor: the rejection of being a "pierrot." In traditional commedia dell'arte, Pierrot is often depicted as a sad, silent clown, manipulated by others and hiding his true feelings behind a painted smile. When the narrator declares, "I'm not a pierrot," it's a profound refusal to be controlled, to perform for someone else's agenda, or to suppress one's authentic self. This image taps into a universal longing to be seen and respected as an individual, not as a character in someone else's play.
The lyrics further paint a picture of past oppression with images like "this dirty hand" and "that time like a prison." The "dirty hand" suggests an unwelcome, defiling touch, a violation of personal space and integrity. The "prison-like time" vividly describes a past relationship or situation that felt suffocating and restrictive, where the narrator's freedom was curtailed. These specific images ground the song in the very real experience of escaping toxic dynamics and the emotional scars they leave behind.
Contrasting the past's confinement is the yearning for a "wider sky" and the desire to "fly freely, higher, fly, fly." These images represent the expansive freedom and self-directed existence the narrator now claims. The standout line, "No just do not touch me I'm not a pierrot," encapsulates this entire journey: a declaration of boundaries, a reclaiming of identity, and an unyielding commitment to a future defined by personal autonomy and liberation. It's a powerful anthem for anyone breaking free.
