아니 이게 무슨 소리야..!! 에셈양반!! 샤이니가 컴백이라니..!!!컴백이라니!!! 
What are you talking about..!! Mr. SM!! SHINee is having a comeback..!!! A comeback!!!

 

 

Honesty: ‘Always There’ is special for its lyrics, written by Jonghyun, that express SHINee’s thankful hearts to fans who have stayed by their side with unchanging love until now.
[Onew] One, two, three

[Taemin] I wake up and open my sleepy eyes
It’ll be tomorrow in a little bit
I feel bad for letting the day pass by so fast
I swallow sand

[Jonghyun] Time passes by hectically
Will we get so used to our fluttering feelings
That we’ll feel them as a definite thing?
I’m sad over pointless worries

[Key] Infrequent greetings
Actions that scarred softly
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m always sorry

[Onew] Because you’ve always been there to protect me
Because you’ve taken the criticism that I should receive 
You have shielded me without a word and now
I will reflect you like a mirror

[Key] Rewind the film of our memories
To the day we first met
My heart pounded, I couldn’t hide my tears
They overflowed as much as I was grateful

[Onew] You understood me better than myself
When I was on the verge of breaking down
Seeing you having a harder time than I did
Made me cry like a child

[Minho] There’s a connection in our relationship
A huge one that I can’t explain in words
[Jonghyun] Our conversations, piled with memories
Continue on today

[Taemin] Because you’ve always been there to protect me
Because you’ve taken the criticism that I should receive 
You have shielded me without a word and now
I will reflect you like a mirror

[Jonghyun] Because you’ve always been there to protect me
Because you’ve taken the criticism that I should receive 
You have shielded me without a word and now
I will hold you

[Key] When it becomes tiring and I want to give up
[Taemin] When I am weak and I want to run away 
[Jonghyun] Your small hand becomes my biggest strength
[Minho] For the rest of my life, I’ll sing a song for you

[Onew] You have always been there
Believing in me and protecting me
I’ll convey this song of appreciation

[Minho] At the end of this very long connection
At the end of this train stop, unaware of where it’ll reach
We learn as we go on and feel many things
I’m always late at expressing my emotions

You won’t be forgotten in my heart, right?
You’ll remain in my eyes as you smile, right?
If my joy can become your happiness
I’ll be thankful

 

 

Alarm Clock: ‘Alarm Clock,’ a song for which Jonghyun wrote sensuous lyrics about a man’s wish to wake up from his bad dream of a past break-up moment and Minho participated in rap making.
[Jonghyun] Even today, I’m drenched in my sweat
I woke up from my sleep, I can’t believe it, oh I (horrible nightmare)
[Taemin] Inside the dream that repeats every night
You leave me coldly like a lie, oh I

[Minho] I still can’t believe it, your lips
[Onew] I can’t let you go yet
When it feels like they’ll (kiss) touch my cheek
[Key] I can’t erase you

*[All] I hope my alarm clock rings quickly and wakes me from this dream
Turn back the time that feels like a nightmare and throw away our break up
I can’t escape from this horrible broken dream that’s frozen into place
I hope the alarm clock rings loudly and wakes me up, oh quickly

[Taemin] Wake me up

[Key] Like a flower that falls after a small raindrop brushes against it
It may not be a big deal to you (Let’s break up)
[Onew] But I fall into a cold sleep at your cold words
I feel like I can still catch your mirage, oh please

[Minho] I still can’t believe it, your scent
I can’t get rid of it, it’s seeped (deeply) into me
[Jonghyun] This must be a dream

*Repeat

Inside the nightmare, I, I lose my way, I, I
Inside the nightmare, I, I lose my way, I, I, inside the nightmare

[Onew] I can’t believe that you left, I’m in denial of our break up again
[Minho] I know that our separation and this moment are not dreams
[Key] But I can’t accept it, I can’t bear the reality
[Taemin] Come back again, this reality is like a nightmare
I need you, oh

*Repeat

[Minho] Quickly (wake me up) wake me up
I wake up from my long sleep
And pass a road darkened by the dusk
Lost in deep thought, I picture you again
I throw a stone at a still lake
I draw a small circle again and again
I picture you, I picture you
I picture you, I picture you

did you make this post just so you could post that tweet? i'm still trying to figure out what exactly he is trying to say with it...i think he just wanted an excuse to post yet another dog picture

[grapewhine.livejournal.com]

no, i thought i might as well add that too. my main concern was how to make this post less ugly and i failed miserably and i just want to burn this post :c

[two-ne1.livejournal.com]

Jonghyun is not even my bias in Shinee but Honesty was about to make me cry ;_; so beautiful. bless him

[kasayu.livejournal.com]

Honesty makes me way too emotional. He's totally not the one to thank us :/
Together with Alarm Clock it gives me just too many Jjong feels.

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

jjong <333~! well, 'honesty' and 'alarm clock' got very good reception so good job on that! although... Jonghyun wrote sensuous lyrics about a man’s wish to wake up from his bad dream of a past break-up moment... jjong are you talking about yourself? it's good to see these young idols not only participate in the song making but pull from life experiences as well instead of JUST singing about it. I like that a lot :) i hope jjong continues on this path!

now i really want to squish him for making me all tingly inside :s

[jxsica.livejournal.com]

Every time Jonghyun tweets, I love him a little bit more. That weirdo.

And then you have his lyrics, which really seem so heartfelt.

I can't with this guy.

[poksaywhat.livejournal.com]

bias list destroyer. he eats them for breakfasts and re-writes them with his name on every spot on the list.

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

D'awww the lyrics for Honesty are so sweeetttt. I had no idea he wrote for Alarm Clock, too. That's pretty fucking awesome.

[hellafun.livejournal.com]

That dog is so cute, I wanna squish it

[mayuuu.livejournal.com]

I honestly feel like crying. I mean, even before reading the translations... The thought of Jonghyun writing a song dedicated to the fans is just...idk, it's a tearjerker? Sth like that.

And I can't help but get teary-eyed at the lyrics of Alarm Clock. /sobs ;_____;

[stripysockz.livejournal.com]

bless this comment

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Those lyrics...

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

omg such a flawless album

[idyllise.livejournal.com]

jonghyun my love for you expands omg why are you this awesome with your crack tweets and good lyrics? :')

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

Omg "Alarm Clock" is really sad, but really nice though. I'm assuming it's about his breakup with SSK...

[camr-jemr.livejournal.com]

[kaylaa7x.livejournal.com]

I'm still curious as to whether or not it's Jonghyun playing the guitar in Honesty, idk it just.. would make sense somehow, since he was busy practicing the guitar (before he found twitter).
I guess that's too good to be true lol

[lobotronic.livejournal.com]

those are some really nice lyrics. Good job Jonghyun!

[angelynn-virus.livejournal.com]

some shamewols might get mad at me for saying this but I wish he could find someone soon,
who loves him for who he is...with all the dorky but also this romantic side...He really, trully deserve good things in life.
damn, the lyrics is just sad and heartthrobbing, makes him so vulnerable...oh Puppy~

lmao, y u doing this to jjong

[hileahrious.livejournal.com]

Lmfao whyyy is he like this. Also is Alarm Clock about Sekyung eh eh idk. He's talented anyway, I like these lyrics I SWALLOW SAND

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

"i swallow sand" must be hard living with a height-complex :x

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

omg I love Key's voice in Honesty so much <3

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

same ;A; <3

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

actually i still believe honesty is about ssk and not shawols, despite saying so 8'D
but then again alarm clock goes in the same direction~

[already.livejournal.com]

Honesty was really sweet. Oh the lyrics of Alarm Clock was about SSK? So Jjong's like the TSwift of kpop lol

[uledy.livejournal.com]

omg shut your mouth!

[uledy.livejournal.com]

It's nice to see the evolution of his lyrical subject matter and see him mature emotionally through his lyrics since "Juliette" but omg, he's so stupid with all of his ridic tweets. Makes my day every time I see them <3

[diligentsesame.livejournal.com]

I-I-I'm sorry SHINee for thinking that my love for you all had waned, especially you, BIAS JONGHYUN, who has evolved into an even more beautiful mansaur.
