Red Velvet “Kingdom Come” Lyrics

Hangul

Tag it
Uh yeah

찰나의 순간에
내 안을 파고든 눈빛에
아무도 모르게
감춰둔 마음을 빼앗긴 채
아득한 꿈속에
펼쳐진 길을 거니는 듯해
단 한 번도 날 어루만져
준 적 없는 감정인 걸

촉촉한 말들로 (몰래)
내 맘을 적시곤 또 (살며시)
물러나 미소진 넌
여백 없이 내 눈을 멀게 한 빛
문득 또 다른 세상을 보게 된 기분
용기 내어 다가선 그때 (Oh oh)

오직 나에게만 펼쳐져
온통 너로 날 물들여
내 맘을 가득 채워
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
꿈에서 깨지 않을래 Baby
영원토록 I got you, you got me
Love you till kingdom come

손짓한 향기에
널 향해 뒤돌아 본 그때
Oh 발밑을 가득 채운
흰 꽃들에 황홀해져
반짝 그 이면에 날이 선
가시가 있대도 난 손을 뻗을 걸
홀린 듯이 다가선 그때 (Oh oh)

오직 나에게만 펼쳐져
온통 너로 날 물들여
내 맘을 가득 채워
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
꿈에서 깨지 않을래 Baby
영원토록 I got you, you got me
Love you till kingdom come

눈 뜨면 사라지는 환상이라도
놓치지 않을래
Never ever never ever 영원히
심장이 멎은 듯이 Ooh ooh whoa
I got you, you got me
이대로 잠들고 싶어져 (Oh oh)
I got you, you got me (Oh I got you, you got)

발을 내딜수록 깊어져
나를 잃은 채 이끌려
끝없이 빠져들어 (Oh)
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
(Kingdom come)
꿈에서 깨지 않을래 Baby
영원토록 I got you, you got me
(I got you, you got me babe)
Love you till kingdom come
(Oh kingdom come oh)

(Eh yeah yeah oh)
I got you, you got me (Oh oh oh)
I got you, you got me (Oh oh oh)
I love you till kingdom come

Translation

Uh yeah

In just one moment
Your eyes dig into me
Without anyone knowing
My hidden heart was stolen
Feels like I’m walking on a path
In a faraway dream
It’s an emotion that has never
Touched me before

With wet words (secretly)
You drench my heart again (softly)
Then you disappear with a smile
A light that has blinded me
Feels like I’ve seen a new world
I took courage and approached you

You only spread before me
I’m colored with you
You fill my heart
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
I won’t wake from this dream baby
Forever, I got you, you got me
Love you till kingdom come

The scent of your gestures
Made me look back at you
Ecstatic over the white flower
Under my feet
Shining but still thorny
But I’ll still hold out my hand
As if I’m bewitched, approaching you

You only spread before me
I’m colored with you
You fill my heart
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
I won’t wake from this dream baby
Forever, I got you, you got me
Love you till kingdom come

Even if you’re a fantasy that’ll disappear once I open my eyes
I won’t let you go
Never ever never ever, forever
Like my heart stopped
I got you, you got me
I wanna fall asleep like this
I got you, you got me

The more steps I take, the deeper it gets
I lost myself but I keep getting pulled
Endlessly falling into you
Baby I will love you till kingdom come
(Kingdom come)
I won’t wake from this dream baby
Forever, I got you, you got me
(I got you, you got me babe)
Love you till kingdom come
(Oh kingdom come oh)

(Eh yeah yeah oh)
I got you, you got me
I got you, you got me
I love you till kingdom come

Red Velvet “Kingdom Come” Meaning

“Kingdom Come” by Red Velvet is a sensual R&B track about being completely consumed by love. The title references the phrase “till kingdom come,” meaning forever or until the end of time, emphasizing a devotion so deep that it feels eternal.

The lyrics portray love as a powerful, almost magical force that transforms the narrator’s world. Images of dazzling light, new beginnings, and dreamlike experiences symbolize the overwhelming feeling of discovering someone who changes everything. Even when hints of danger or uncertainty appear, the narrator willingly embraces the relationship without hesitation.

A recurring theme is enchantment and surrender. The narrator feels so captivated that they do not want to wake up from the dream they are living. This reflects a desire to remain in the warmth and comfort of love, regardless of its risks or imperfections.

Beyond its romantic surface, some listeners interpret “Kingdom Come” as a metaphor for spiritual peace, personal healing, or leaving behind past pain. Whether viewed as a love song or a story of emotional transformation, the track ultimately celebrates finding a place or a person that feels like home forever.
