thread of lyrics minho has written! I wanted to appreciate how much he's done and how poetic he can be

disclaimer: Not trying to do full verses, just one or two lines (bc im typing it manually for practice haha) but sometimes I do the full verse so the lyrics make sense

also quick note that all the lyrics and translations are from http://colorcodedlyrics.com  bc I do not know that much Korean yet, and I'm assuming that (up until area) he wrote/participated in writing the entire rap verse

also please let me know if I made a mistake or missed a song!

Starting with the very first album: The SHINee WORLD (2008)

Love's Way

우린 너무 달라도
사랑은 게속 돼야 해

Even if we really are different
love still has to go on

Love Like Oxygen

찢겨진 듯한 내 사랑의 아픔
이 독한 슬픔 꺠져 버린 나의 얼음
속에 흐르는 눈물

My suffering from love which feels like
It's gonna rip me apart, this poisonous sadness
Amid the shattered ice of my frozen tears

One For Me

품에 안겨 그녀잖아
나만 믿어

Hold you in my arms, leave yourself to me
Just believe in me

Graze

나 흘로 생간에
잠기다
바람이 되어 스쳐간 그녀의
모습에 눈물이 나

I get absorbed in these thoughts
alone and I cry at the images
Of the girl who turned into wind
and grazed past me

Best Place

사랑에 미쳐 이체는 내가 지쳐
우리 기나긴 추억을 플어헤져
니가 없는 내 삶은 무의미해져
그대가 있던 그 자리로 돌아와 줘

I'm getting tired of this crazy love for you
Though I can't shake off our memories
My life has become meaningless
There's room for you to return

Romeo (2009)

Juliette

달콤한 중독 활활 불타오르는 유혹
Lip 쓴 독이라도

Sweet addiction, burning temptation
Even though your lips are a bitter poison

2009, Year of Us (2009)

Get Down

무대를 덧칠한 내가 뿌린 물감
끝이 보이지 않나 나의 떠오르는 영감

The influence I've spread in my times on stage
There is no end in sight to my inspirations

Lucifer (2010)

Obsession

사랑한다는 이유조차 죄가 됐지
깊은 상저들은 타 들어가 재가 됐지

Even the reason I love became a sin
The deep wounds slowly burnt up and turned to ash

Shout Out

내 진통 큰 고통을 거친 my music
부르지 못하면 nothing

My music has gone through, my pain, my torment
If I can't sing, I'm nothing

Wowowow

이 선뜻 다가온 사랑은
오늘도 내 맘에 번지는 봄바람

This love that has come to me quickly
Is the spring breeze that spreads in my heart today

Your Name

세상의 중심에서 너에게 기댈게
그리고 따스하게 속삭일게

I'll lean on you at the center of the world
And I'll whisper warmly

Hello (2010)

Hello

Hello 내 곁을 맴돈 그 시간들을 계속
그 어떤 기쁨과도 비교 못해 No More

Hello, the times I spent by your side
Can no more compare to any other happiness

One

그녀의 눈이 마주칠 때마다
내 얼굴에 번지는 미소가

Whenever I meet her eyes
I wonder if the smile that grows on my face might reach a corner of your heart

Get It

니가 기다려왔던 남자 That's me
너의 맘을 훔칠 준비 됐으니
날 원한다면 말해 지금이
그때 그걸 가능케 할 네가 필요해

The man you were waiting for, that's me
I'm ready to steal your heart
If you want me, then say so, its now time
I need you in order to make that possible

The First (2011)

Better

この世界の果てで
君と巡り逢えたらいいな

At the ends of this world
If I can run into you there, it would be great

To Your Heart

Yeah 君のその手をそっと取って
この気持ちきっとこのままで
I wanna 君を守りたい

Yeah, softly taking hold of that hand of yours
This feeling will definitely stay the same
I wanna protect you

Sherlock (2012)

Alarm Clock

기나긴 잠에 깨어 어스름이 짙은 길을 지나
깊은 생간에 잠겨 다시 널 그려

I wake from my long dream and pass through a dim road
I'm locked in deep thoughts as I draw you out again

Stranger

앞뒤가 다른 모습에도 가급적
증오에 취해 시선 고정

You are two-faced and I try as much as possible
To focus my attention while intoxicated by hatred

Honesty

가슴에는 잊혀지지 읺겠지
눈에는 남겨져 웃고 있겠지
나의 기쁨이 너에게 행복이 된다면
고마워

I won't forget you in my heart
You will remain in my eyes and smile
If only my joy can become your happiness
Thank you

Dream Girl (2013)

Dream Girl

한 순간도 네게 눈을 뗄 수 없어
그 어떤 표현도 너한테는 뺄 수 없어

I can't take my eyes off of you for a moment
No words can take anything away from you

Aside

약속되어 있는 것처럼 듣지 못하는 네 앞에
혼자서 난 중얼거려 네게로 가고 싶어

As if it's been promised, I mumble by myself
In front of you, who can't hear, I want to go to you

Beautiful

내 맘 가장자리까지
행복의 물결이 끝없이 안겨
그대 미소 마주 하면
한없이 감견해 놀라운 축복해

To the edge of my heart
Waves of happiness endlessly come
When I see your smile
I am endlessly moved, amazingly blessed

Dynamite

Attention! 지금까지 마주했던
착각이란 자유에 기역 없이 빠뜨려
앞으로 나만을 주입해

Attention! Throw away all the misunderstandings
Til now without promise
Pay attention to only me from now on

Why So Serious? (2013)

SHINe (Medusa I)

이눈을 감으면 보일 갓 갓은 빛이
날 비추듯 저 멀리 사라져 가니

The light that I feel like I could see
If I close my eyes disappears far into the distance

Orgel

한숨과 함께 점점 밀려가
헤어 나올 수 없는 너란 숲에 들어간 나

I get pushed more and more with my sighs
After entering a forest called you, from which I can't escape

Excuse Me Miss

있고 싶어서가 아니라
헤일 수 없는 우리들의
아득한 거리 때문에
앞으로 우리 사이의 길들이

Because of the unfathomable
Distance between us
There's so many roads to
Come in our relationship

Sleepless Night

너를 미련 없이
지워버리자 했던 캐가 너무 밉다
다시 잡고 있는 내 맘이 너무나도 싫다

I hate myself for saying
I'll forget you without a single regret
I hate my heart that's still holding on

Better Off

인생이란 수첩 속에
너의 이름 남겨
추억 하나 새기면서 길고도
긴 페이지를 넘겨

I leave your name
In my notebook called Life
As I write down a memory
I turn a long page

Everybody (2013)

Destination

눈을 감고 느껴 다 한 발 모두 다
앞을 위한 밑거름이 지금이 내 발걸음
앞을 향해 나아가 우리들 앞에 축복을

The fertilizer for my future
Is what my footsteps are right now
Heading toward the future, to our blessings

Colorful

저 무지티 위 무지개를 덮어
노을 진 바다 위 샌을 입혀

Cover the colorless with a rainbow
Put a color to the sunset ocean

Close the Door

하늘 위에 나란 문 속
네게만 열리는 자동문

In the sky, there us a door that is me
An automatic door that opens only to you

Odd (2015)

Romance

지금 들어선 우연한 길이
어쩌면 널 처음 만나게 된 일
타들어가는 아까운 일초에

This street that I stumbled upon
Maybe this is how I first met you
Each burning second feels so precious

Farewell My Love

날 떠미는 이 길의 끝
틀린 리듬 대로 변주 되어 가 버린
이 길 끝에 너란 꽃이 피길 기도해

The end of the road pushes me
With the wrong rhythm
I pray your flower will bloom at the end of the road

1 of 1 (2016)

Lipstick

우린 같은 색을 나눠가져
설레임의 색감은 붉은

We share the same color
The color of this fluttering heart is red

Don't Stop

지금부터 보이는 게 다가 아냐
머리로는 이해 못해 어림없지
보여 너의 가치 어서 가자 같이 My dear

What you see isn't everything right now
You can't understand with your head
Let's go together, my dear

U Need Me

어둠 속을 속속히 너로 비춰
흐르는 흰 물결을 난 밀쳐

You shine through the darkness
White waves of water wash over me

The Story of Light EP. 1 (2017)

Good Evening

저 저 하늘 위보다
더 더 멀리 맴돌더라도
구름에 내 맘 날려
휘황찬 달과 함께 비치는 밤

Even if you're
Farther away than the sky
I'll send my heart to the clouds
On this night with the bright moonlight

The Story of Light EP. 2 (2017)

Chemistry

서로가 되는늣한 모든 시간 속
미치도록 생생해
마치 1분 1초마다

And when it's time for us to become one
Every detail is in full clarity
Every minute, every second

The Story of Light EP. 3 (2017)

Our Page

네가 남겨둔 여쁜 말들은
한 편의 시가 되어 노래가 되고
목소리 날아 너 있는 곳에
닿을 거란 걸 우린 알잖아

The beautiful words you left behind
Become a poem, become a song
Our voices are flying
We know it'll reach you wherever you are

I'm Home (2019)

널 떠올리면 붕 떠버리는 것 같아
매일 지나치려 해도 자꾸 똑같어

Whenever I think of you, I feel like I'm floating
I try to brush it off every day but it's always the same

Atlantis (2021)

Area

채워지지가 않아 너의 빈자리
그날에 난 멈춰선 채 같은 Area

Your empty spot can't be filled up
I'm stuck back on that day, in the same area

I believe that's all of them! 41 songs, if I counted correctly. I hope you enjoyed reading the lyrics #MINHO wrote, and appreciate how much work he's put into every one of them (and I assume into other drafts that didn't make it into the final songs).

Going to end this thread with another prayer for a self written solo album for #MINHO while SHINee group activities are on hiatus He definitely has the singing and writing ability for it!

tacking this on to the end bc somehow I missed one of my favorite songs that brings my count up to 42 https://twitter.com/UntangleMyHeart/status/1277514837451575297?s=19
