Here and There
Left and Right
Low and High
I’m not

Laughter and Tears
Love and Hatred
Life and Death
I’m not

I am You
I am Me
I am the Illness
I am the Cure
I am the good
I am the Evil
I am

I am Me
I am You
I am Cold
I am Hot
I am Life
I am Death
I am

Oh I am a liar
What I mean to say
Is not what I mean to say
Oh I need the one
What I mean to say
Is not what I mean to say
I’m nothing, I’m everything
Whatever you want me to be
To be
I’m nothing, I’m everything
Whatever you want me to be
You see, the question is
What do you want me to be?


02. Breakdown
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com

Right now this moment
marks the starting line of our fate.
The barren ground of the earth
and the blood of my body will spread
on the blank page of history
I’ll write my story.
We gonna rock and roll
no crowd control
when the beat drops
let me pop your soul.
Rip the veil off
of the useless knowledge and lies.
You’re done, unemployed
There is no more tomorrow
Harden your fighting spirit.
The minority louder than the majority
the sounds of their march will
spread to the ends of the earth.
Truth does not exist
The rope I was told to walk across in life
was a trick and a noose
Time to re right the history.

The sky is breaking down
The sky is breaking down
The sky is breaking down
The high fortress is breaking down

(Damn) Clap your hands
(Damn) Watch the walls come down
(Damn) Hey Mister DJ break it down
(Damn) Everyone goes crazy
(Damn) And so you get a little closer
(Damn) Hey Mister DJ break it down

Your age is older but your behavior
shows a step back in thought
Like the behavior of a crocodile
trying to feed on the upright
In your walk you freeze
you break the thin ice
The right thoughts lie
within your forgotten memories.
This night is a present from the moon
a castle of pleasure
Time is the illness
that makes you cry out in pain
There is no tact
No re-doing tomorrow
In this long journey on the ocean
there is no anchor.
I offer this moment
I value my responsibility
I climb over the crumbled walls and
run headfirst through the night.
In case I trip up,
I watch my feet
I lock myself away to keep
from the existence when I followed you
(come on!)

The sky is breaking down
The sky is breaking down
The sky is breaking down
The high fortress is breaking down

(Damn) Clap your hands
(Damn) Watch the walls come down
(Damn) Hey Mister DJ break it down
(Damn) Everyone goes crazy
(Damn) And so you get a little closer
(Damn) Hey Mister DJ break it down

Break it down, down (x6)

I don’t wanna see like you and
I don’t wanna be like you and
I wanna be free so break it down
Swallow the sun and give it all you got
I don’t wanna think like you and
I don’t wanna stink like you and
I wanna be me so break it down
Swallow the moon and give it all you got

Break it down (x15)


05. Yonpilkkakki (Feat. Kebee)
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com

Pen and paper
The infinite sound
I can’t ever give up
This endless loop
Yeah, the infinite questions
What lies in the middle

To all the troubled MCs out there Listen

Reality, like a bird with broken wings
you hang by the shackels
aint no chosen guarantee
but when you check the mic
the narration lies between the bible and history
like the chapters of the bible
you gotta know that to go back
like double D
blank and battered notebook is no trouble see
the future of reality is cast away
they say dreams are unrealistic
The thick dreams are the first to fold
but remember the first time
you touched the mic
fill your stomach with passion and don’t fear
Everyone points fingers
And tells you to follow the money
Even though you look pitiful
It’ll be your wings
fly sky high
your beautiful mind
Color the black and white world
with your beautiful rhyme
in this heartless city
oh this godless city
you’re an artist
dont lose your confidence in yourself

one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
The world is still my white canvas
one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
Falls into the world, like dust in the wind

Yeah, you’re like a piece of steel
dropped in fire, melting, twisting
but you become sharper than anything
You can overcome as much as you dream
And you can create the world’s outline
that’s the mission
Your choice is a double edged sword
Your many worries
are all past problems
nobody told you
how much the Mic in your hand
would weigh on you
studio to stage
every worry is over
the nightmare you dreamed will not come
its just a far off future
the pieces of the lyrics, your hard work
if you slowly walk towards them
you can feel it
the sentence you brought to the world
so in the darkness
it’ll bring light
Before your passions rip you apart
it’ll protect you
the mic you raised to the sky
is a guide for those lost on the way
Aiming to the one road
lets try

one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
The world is still my white canvas
one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
Falls into the world, like dust in the wind

The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
The world is still my white canvas
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
Falls into the world, like dust in the wind
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
The world is still my white canvas
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
on the MIC

Everybody is the same
Where is the end of this life
the shackels, the weights
locked up in the room
I’m the criminal again, life is just the same
My mind is crammed, time is pressing
In the headache that only those people
who have been pressed between
rhythm and words would understand
The gap between the ideal reality and poverty
Nothing I can do
but cry into my pillow
But what can we do? All we do is run
We have nothing to lose
We make music real
you and I together
on top of the beat lets lay out some rhymes
my heart shakes with the thought of
capturing the rhythm and delivering it
Don’t forget where you started from
you knew this road was hard when you began
don’t wash off the sweat
In the moments of your life
Where the darkness loses its opening
Never forget
That you become the sun for others

one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
Falls into the world, like dust in the wind
one day soon it will be
my time to shine
The unwillingly spinning pencil sharpener
The world is still my white canvas

one day soon it will be
my time to shine
one day soon it will be
my time to shine


06. Girl (Feat. Jinbo)
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com

I miss you girl
I need you girl
Drop it

I used to think all the big and small things
Were my precious memories
Even if I briefly touched the clouds
While reaching for a falling star
Even when we just walked together
Familiar streets became a road to the edge of the world
This love
Gathered up my dreams and my breath
Even when we said we were one
We were so different in this love
Even if it was said so easily
This love was not from the heart
Such a bad person, such a cold person
Someone who is so much like me
Now a person who I welcome
In dreams or in nightmares
You are my cross
I live my life hung up on you
You know all this
I see you inside everything
You were the wrong girl
You did me wrong girl
But to your memory
I sing a thousand love songs girl

I miss you girl
You may have forgotten
You must have forgotten
This was love to me
I need you girl
You may have erased me
You may be happy but
I need you back in my life girl

Together we walked the fringe of my dreams
Opened the fate of misery
Stumbling as if drunk
The breath of love became further away.
Begging for that one moment
Wanting it more as it became further away
I let go when it became too tiring
Your last sound and the phone
Footsteps like magnets, faced the same pole
Even if I tiredly follow in your footsteps
You are still one step ahead
Forever limited, tried to fix each other
We tried to go back to the first time we met
But then she and I would turn our backs
Yelling, getting further away
As always, people ask about us and
I try to pick up the ashes of our breakup
“Yeah, we’re fine, why do you ask?”
I constantly hide it
Acting like nothing is wrong
I still hold on to the bird of pain
I am still in tears
Stuck on to you

I miss you girl
You may have forgotten
You must have forgotten
This was love to me
I need you girl
You may have erased me
You may be happy but
I need you back in my life girl

Loving you, it’s crazy girl
Even though I try to erase you, I can’t
Loving you in a crazy world
Though I hate you, you’re still the only one

I miss you girl
You may have forgotten
You must have forgotten
This was love to me
I need you girl
You may have erased me
You may be happy but
I need you back in my life girl
I need you back in my life girl
I need you back in my life girl
I need you back in my life girl

——————————————

You think from LA to NY
to the edge of Seoul
ain’t nobody fuckin’ iller?
End this false humbleness by this winter
You are sick of shaking
Just a dirty spitter, stabbing here and there
You and I fearlessly yell
But you get bored and start begging
You are your office’s coffee getter
Regardless of it we chew each other out
Push the noise marketing
Bark with the voice of several thousand dogs
Raise a day-fly’s worth of rap scenes
so stop drop what you got
you ain’t no biggie, you ain’t no pac
Acting cool, acting tough, is that hip hop? no
a visionless custom, not as rich as we think.
so I will be the first to bow my head
kill the attitude of my young age
the unity of many fists
trumps just the one
cuz it’s R E S P E C T
or shut it up like the BEPs
shout out to my family
M O V E M E N T Move

Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know come check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change
Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know come check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change

There are many roads to the hip hop scene
to run the road, you make your words distinct
plow the field, fling the sweat
I offer my poems, and so i live
In this state where we are strangers
Yelling we are bros sharpens their teeth
In the wounded hearts of the novices
Under the shadow of “one love” night begins
We are on the same side
But individually create different world views
In the organization our book values vary
Three with different vibes, facing life together
The negligent jealousy of diminishing value
Hold on to the feeling of loss and face it
The long living ones put on the notice board*
Cut me down with words
My heart goes underwater during my judgment
Because of the fed up military diss
The memorial diss song that’s been spreading its scent for almost 4 years
But far from being worried
I erase the charcoal from my darkly burnt core
If you really want a military diss
no reason Ill supply a regular diss
If you open your mouth, if you are gonna do it
Do it with skill and effort, a diss plus.

Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change
Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change

Didn’t I tell you I’m the original sinner
You pick on the farsighted ones
acting tough troublemaker
The already late start
Don’t believe the shit you hear with your ears
I’m looking at you and you look cheap
The wrong words sound just like chatter
And my eyes spin in my head sixty nine
Some underground boys never learn
Is the word respect sly?
The empty head filled with white space
Why carelessly dig up an established scene
Our disses and irrationalities
are numerous than the broadcasting stations.
A little more age, with a few more mania ripples
you fly in the sky
Does the crown fit on top of the head
This is the generous hip hop experience
But I bet your value is 100 won
You are pretty funny
The future 3rd member of the duo Cultwo**
The gum you chew, is fit for dogs
the gum I chew, is your lifetime album
Making me lose my appetite
A toxic game that would stop a slave’s son.

Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change
Come respect me
if you don’t believe me test me
come respect me
if you don’t know check me
come respect me
or fucka come and get me
respect the name respect the game
back to the future set the change

Yeah, For the culture, to have a future
you need to go back to the past
Dedicated to….

10. Ignition (Feat. Na Yoon Gwon)
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com


——————————————
Translator Notes: I don’t know what a ‘carlitos way’ and ’senacle’ is.
alasam gave me some hints regarding the above note

“Carlito’s Way is a movie released in 1993 starring Al Pacino, Sean Penn and a few other notable stars. It’s pretty good and worth watching if you like movies like Scarface and Heat.

I think the other reference you weren’t sure about is actually “cenacle” which is the latin for upper room; namely the one where the last supper was held, so it is a biblical reference. However, another definition for cenacle is a clique or gathering of writers according to wikipedia.”

I don’t know how to fit this into the song, but thanks for the information!

Nia gave me some notes regarding the french translation.

——————————————

Time has stopped in the moonlight
Feelings continue to race
in the neverending darkness

At the edge of the fountains of thought
lie cascades of delusions
Does my life’s objective scatter
as easily in the breeze of the dawn
like the ashes of a cigarette?
In spite of time
it goes forward at a nervous speed
Bits of thought run into each other
As I look at the sparks from a bonfire of metal
Our monocle
So that we can open one eye a little bit bigger
We close the other Senacle
The sidelong glances from strangers
as our hands brushed when passing
I send the love, flows through gaps too easily
I guess nothing is forever
Like november rain it falls
stress and pain just to entertain
Every beginning has an end
Pray like its the end

(Chorus)
Time has stopped in the moonlight
Every beginning has and end
Pray like its the end
Feelings continue to race
in the neverending darkness
Every beginning is also an end

I need a bigger purpose
Today the stream flows
Tomorow that stream can be rough
like my life swept away by the rain
In a city where the gods have closed their eyes
Every day I find myself at the edge of a knife

Filled with the day to day,
Unable to see the bottom
Can’t tell if I am going up or down
My fate becomes ideal at the end of a century.
I can’t spit out the words “be happy”
So miserable, so nervous, can’t make decisions
I dont know what law I am following.
Like a train on a rail, I can’t go off the tracks
I can’t find an end, I just place a period
and begin a twisted sentence, Calitose Way
Every beginning is also an end
I need a bigger purpose

(Chorus)

Everything fades away
To a shade of gray
The darkness of the heartless
Enslaves the day
And I pray to save you but
Its safe to say goodbye
Tonight I am sorry
I continue my dreams in the misty fog
It reflects a distorted identity
The concerned breath filled in my lungs
Only the sighs from another part of my soul
Continues

The moment time passes away
I wander the dark roads
Without knowing where I am going
I just run within the darkness

(Chorus x2)


11. Eight By Eight (Feat. Dynamic Duo, Dok2, Double K, TBNY)
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com

——————————————
TRANSLATOR NOTES:

Hm…lets see…
                         3 people in Epik High (2MCs, 1 DJ)
                         2 in Dynamic Duo (2 MCs)
                         1 in Dok2 (1 MC)
                         1 in Double k (1 MC besides the misleading name)
                         2 in TBNY (2 MCs)  
                             = 9 people

I’m assuming they left out Tukuts because he didn’t have a verse? (8 MCs x 8 verses hence the title) 

*The word used here is a pun. 아마 추어 (Ahma Choowuh) can mean either 1. Amateur or 2. Ahma =Very Choowuh =Cold (Very Cold (cuz he is wearing a T-Shirt in the winter, see?))

**The original word “어릿광대” (uh rhut kwang dae) refers to the ancient Korean practice of circuses that picked up orphan kids. Then they dressed them up like clowns and made them dance to advertise the circus. Try translating that literally

***Reference to the quote ‘뱁새가 황새 따라하다 가랭이 찢어진다. Which basically translates to “A crow will break its legs trying to keep up with the crane.” It is the equivalent to the American saying “Keeping up with Joneses”. I means that you should not live outside your means trying to be something that you are not.

****The number 1 (일), and the word for “work” (일) is the same in Korean

*****Juh Pal Gae (저팔계) was Son oh gong’s (손오공/ Son Goku’s) pig rival/sidekick/something in the myth. Did anyone watch Dragon Ball? Is there a pig bad guy or something?

****** Han Suk Bong (한석봉) and his mother are characters in a Korean folk tale. The mother wanted to test Han Suk Bong’s calligraphy skills, and so one day while she was cutting dduk (rice cakes) and he would be writing Hanja (Chinese letters), she turned off the lights. When the lights were turned back on, Han Suk Bong’s letters were crooked and unsightly while the mother’s knife skills had cut the dduk into the perfect shape. She then kicked her son out and told him not to come back until he improved his calligraphy.
——————————————



Eight of the Greatest

My style spreads like a fad
And is sicker than a cold,
I mix this beat like
I mix whipped cream and strawberries.
A stage without me
Is a tire without a rim,
A fishing pole without a pin,
It’s nothing without this.
So even if your passion is inflamed like a fireball
You’re just my sidekick
So you better study my flow
Even if you steal and use my shit
I don’t care
Because then
I’ll just change up my old clothing

Hip hop a la future
My voice is my beat’s skinny jeans
Fucker, it fits hella tight.
My technique lyrical kama sutra
You wear short sleeves in the winter, amateur*
That’s why your lyrics are frustrating.
It’s weak like a drug addict
But who can you blame when you fail?
When you spit it aint nothing but gum
Your mentality is one of a petty thug,
picking fights on street corners.

Look me straight in the eyes and try to bark
Reservoir dogs
A disapproving wagging of the finger?
No thanks
The bus has already left
You’re the circus’s main attraction flow**
I’m sick of your mediocrity
You son of a
Young crow,
don’t copy me or you’ll get hurt***
You’ll be caught up within the ensuing typhoon
I got you
Chained to the feed in this scene
We’re on the top.
Nothing and nobody
Not a thing is gonna break me

Look, your voice is already asleep
Even if you play an instrument
It’s out of tune.
A brat with no courage
But too much pride
You just hang in front of clubs for no reason
And act a fool.
That’s how you act
You’ve a hell of a life trying to catch my tail,
But count properly.
We’ve been living this for 8 years
Cuz there was a call for change this generation
Just keep on being jealous
I’ll recover without a moment to lose

Today I cut a beat again
Again my tongue creates my skill
And moistens my lips
I‘ve caught up to the forerunners
With many mistakes and empty issues
But it ain’t everything.
With the appropriate metaphors I believe
That the remedy is everything
My words are like Pegasus
Clearing a 100 mile journey in a day.
I continue in the cracked desert of history
With the ever-changing changes
I still always in the lead,
I’ve written in the last page of history.

The number 1 is such a low number
And to match with that principal,
Money made with work is so paltry****
Sometimes when a 3rd party looks in
It may seem a strange situation.
Those with a screw loose
Will probably all scream a cry of distress.
The disease is what moves me
Look nobody’s iller
It may be a 6 million killer like Hitler
And stab you in the neck
Without regard for children
Get on your knees and beg
You brats are like Juh Pal Gae*****
I’ll kill you with my rhyme

This is eight by eight
I’ll beat you scene by scene
And take by take
You’re fake and and
I’m greater than great
When you try to cut in our conversation
Music is my love
But for you its nothing but pain
It’s like a game you can’t play

This is eight by eight
I’ll beat you scene by scene
And take by take
I’m greater than great
You’re fake and fake
When you try to cut in our conversation
Music is my love
But for you its nothing but pain
It’s like a game you can’t play

The world is mine hate it or love it
My head crack opens nightly
I cant’ even walk in this condition
The reality of the pain
My game is here
In the Korean hip hop scene
My spirits are generally overwhelmed
And fired up
Can’t stop yo
Who can try to block me?
Yo, just take my constructive criticism
Sacred, take the investment.
Tell me who tryin to block
Hold the haters close to your heart
Use every single moment
I’m the king boy.

The bastards that follow me like flies on crap
Continues to annoy
I’m pissed off now you know
So stop earning your beatings
My rap is perfect
Like Han Suk Bong’s mother
My pride allows me to turn off the lights
And cut the dduk like I should.******
You can’t go against me
You’re too young
If I fly into a rage and scream
You’ll be frozen like ice
When I start chewing
I don’t let go ‘till all the juices are dry
Be nervous. I’ll take ya.

I become you
You become me
We are the same, but different
We know but don’t know

Yeah, today
I stand in front of you
Without saying a word
I am just standing.
It has already been ten years since
We lost all need for conversation
The passing time
Allows me to put trust the eyes I hated.
However, even though I know
There are times I don’t know.
The time between hello and goodbye
Is so short.
We knew the same things
We were so similar
Even if we lived in separate existences
We always met.
Like in some twisted soap opera
We match each other perfectly.
We stuck together like we were in one body
But you are so cold
No capacity to feel
You may be living in ice.
So facing the echoes of your face
Towards the one who cannot even feel breath
I am pleading
Are you listening?
I am crying for you.

I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult

Yeah, again today
You are standing in front of me.
Your twisted and angry expression
Is facing me.
Yeah I am listening
Everything is reflected on the glass.
Your accusatory image
Tires me.
Without choice
Not only today but for the past few years
I saw and saw you again.
There was never a time when I lost you
In my memories you
Changed and took off
Our life’s dirty facades
You switched and erased them.
But it seems that other people do not know
They choose to only see the
outer layers of our worthless facade.
Although they never give
They keep on begging for more
And with that I am
So hungry for love
In this place
Where my words echo,
Just because it is you
I know my tears are waiting
There you are looking at me, trying to smile
There you are, cleansing it all.

I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult

(I didn’t know anything)
(I didn’t know anything)
(I didn’t know anything)
(Here I am, standing)

I become you
You become me
We are the same, but different
We know but don’t know
I become you
You become me
We are the same, but different
We know but don’t know
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
I didn’t know pain
My heart was the first to melt
Laughing, crying
Everything is so difficult
 


 

15. Usan (Feat. Yoon Ha)
translation by: Yeeun2grace @ yeeun2grace.com

I didn’t realize that the rain
had pooled around my feet
The tears that I am holding in
are welling in my eyes
I cry

Sounds of the clock in an barren room
The noise of the rain on the roof and my lips
Inside the pocket of the coat I rarely wear
is the ring along with the overwhelming memory
I haven’t seen the city in a few days
The gathered rain are like little mirrors
I struggle within them because of the pain
Because without you I’m a chair with a short leg
The umbrella was too small for the both of us
but the umbrella shielded us from the cold world
Now it seems much to big and awkward.
Your left shoulder always got so wet
I hang my head with the weight of the memories
My shoelaces are untied, undone
and all thats next to me is the rain and wind
(not there) is a person that will hold my umbrella for a while
and I cry

I didn’t realize that the rain
had pooled around my feet
The tears that I am holding in
are welling in my eyes
I cry

You were the umbrella above my head
The nights when the cold rain fell on my shoulders
Having you by my side was a habit
I can’t be without you
alone in the rain

alone in the rain
nothing but pain
girl I just want you to know
alone in the rain
nothing but pain
girl I just can’t let you go

The ground has gathered the tears of the sky
The moon behind clouds that block the stars
The sound of lonely shoes echo down the alley
I turn around-
Its just heart wrenching night
A shadow that looks just like me
The two of us that couldn’t see “us”
Are we now two people?
The answer is so lonely
The picture in my mind and my response is vague
The umbrella was too big in my eyes
The umbrella I close facing the hurtful world
The umbrella that I opened while promising forever
Under the ripped umbrella are the two hearts
I guess though I turn around you wont be there
I put my two hands deep inside my pockets
Even though I walk as if carefree
My two cheeks will become wet so easily

I didn’t realize that the rain
had pooled around my feet
The tears that I am holding in
are welling in my eyes
I cry

You were the umbrella above my head
The nights when the cold rain fell on my shoulders
Having you by my side was a habit
I can’t be without you
alone in the rain

I opened the door of my heart
you’re the umbrella above my head
You are my shadow, I am your shade
You’re the umbrella above my head
I opened the door of my heart
you’re the umbrella above my head
You are my shadow, I am your shade
You’re the umbrella above my head

Because you are not next to me
I waited outside with an umbrella
outside your house
I cry

You were the umbrella above my head
The nights when the cold rain fell on my shoulders
Having you by my side was a habit
I can’t be without you
alone in the rain

You were the umbrella above my head
The nights when the cold rain fell on my shoulders
In a world where my other half is gone
You can’t be without me
forever in the rain

Dedicated to you

Your eyes
are the first mirror of my existence.
I see the reflection of my youth.
I want to be that again for you.
Your twin stars
make the gigantic galaxy
colorless
The river flows
in the place of my sadness.
I want to refill your tears in the eyes where I slept and hid.
During that brief time
when you were my world,
Your two hands
Were the first scales of my life
Measuring the lies and truths of the world
My life’s globe
Your teachings were the feathers on my bony wings
Remember the winter where
Both time and our hands froze?
The snowman we made together…
I want to hear the bells we heard in the cold wind.
The times I held your hands to keep them warm.
Your eyes,
Your hands,
I want to look in your eyes forever and hold your hands
I already want to turn back time.

You know I do
I do you love you
Your tired image
Your retreating silhouette
I love you
I do love you
Every little piece of you
Every little piece of you
I love you

I want to touch time and grasp it in my hands,
So that you can be with me,
I want to send it flying.
I want to hold the song of Spring I heard during the joy of my youth.
I really was young…
I want to touch your cheeks.
You cut your life in two
and lived half of it for me.
And with the remaining half of your life,
If you live for me again,
The things that someone as insignificant as myself can do,
The things you want and desire for eternity,
A spirited body,
For ever I accepted it,
Now I want to take back.
Everything you got for me,
You collected, showed it off and counted.
And then for fear of rejection you
Worked harder, became tired of living.
I dont want to be that illness.
Like the dirt stuck on the train of your clothes,
My dark sins fall on your head like snow,
It makes my heart cold,
My breathing becomes difficult.
Another day passes without you,
When dreams come I want to go find you,
I want to follow you,
Matching your footsteps.
I want to live
in our hourglass though not much time is left.
A desert of happiness,
So we can rest there for a long time.
every little piece of you
every little piece of you
every little piece of you
every little piece of you
I love you

You know I do
I do love you
Your tired image
Your retreating silhouette
Your eyes
Your hands
I want to breathe
looking into your eyes forever
I want to turn back time already
