KEN - 견뎌야 하는 우리에게 (To Us Who Have to Endure)
All of a sudden, I had these thoughts
In the past, more than anyone
We loved intensely, like we would go crazy
It was precious, that time
We were good
Like the words love at first sight
Were said looking at us
Why have we
Drifted apart like this as time passes
Could it be like this?
Even we are like strangers
Our relationship has become dull and ordinary
Can’t we go back?
I look at your pictures
And this night only increases with loneliness
I’m curious about
What reason made us drift apart like this
If this season passes and our wounds heal
Could we be good again, like nothing ever happened?
I tried practicing us breaking up
Until I thought I would die
I even cried and begged
All of the beautiful memories
Have become difficult ones in just one moment
From where did we go wrong
So that we became like this
What are you feeling?
Don’t hide and tell me honestly
I’m afraid everyday
The size of my love hurts even more
I can’t break up with you
You can’t leave me
문득 생각을 해봤어
지난날 우린 누구보다
뜨겁고 미친 듯이 사랑했고
아껴줬잖아 그땐
첫눈에 반한다는 말은 꼭 우릴
보고하는 말처럼 좋았잖아 우리
왜 지금 이렇게
멀어진 걸까 시간 흘러서
그런 걸까 남들처럼 우리도
무뎌져 버린 흔한 사이로 변해
돌아갈 수가 없나
너의 사진을 보다가
외로움만 늘어가는 밤
우리는 어떤 이유로 이렇게
멀어진 건지 궁금해
이 계절이 가고 상처가 아물면
아무 일 없단 듯이 좋아질까 우리
나 정말 죽도록
헤어지는 일 연습해봤어
울어보고 매달려도 봤잖아
아름답던 추억이 한순간에 다
힘든 기억되도록
어디서부터 어떻게 잘못되어서
우리가 이런 거야
네 맘은 어떠니
숨기지 말고 솔직히 말해줘
매일 겁이 나 내 사랑이 훨씬 더
크기에 진짜 아파
난 못 헤어져 나를 떠나면
안돼

XYDO (feat. MRSHLL) - Knight
This night is so long
I can’t sleep, so I wait
We still be swayed
They’re looking for something again
Walk along the street
You know they just wanna
find their reason to alive
Gettin' a sip and smoke
Even inside that all I
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change everything about me
On this night where everyone sleeps
I hope I’m the only one awake
I'm fighting for the night
Taking my pain, scrape it all out
I want to be alone, I see myself in front of this mirror
Don't wanna make no fools
This remaining pain
Even as I tried so hard to throw it all out
Try as I might
Forever be alone
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change everything about me
On this night where everyone sleeps
I hope I’m the only one awake
I'm fighting for the night
I don’t wanna be alone, I’m alone
I can’t sleep, all night long
No
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change everything about me
On this night where everyone sleeps
I hope I’m the only one awake
I'm fighting for the night
이 밤은 참 길어
잠에 들지 못하고 난 기다려
We still be swayed
무언가를 또 찾아
Walk along the street
You know they just wanna
find their reason to alive
Gettin' a sip and smoke
그 속에서도 난
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change 내 모든 걸 다
모두가 잠에 드는 밤
나 혼자 깨어있길 바래
I'm fighting for the night
Taking my pain 다 도려내
난 혼자이길 원해 거울 앞에 날 보네
Don't wanna make no fools
남은 아픔을 다
애써 다 버려봐도 oh
Try as i might
Forever be alone
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change 내 모든 걸 다
모두가 잠에 드는 밤
나 혼자 깨어있길 바래
I'm fighting for the night
I don't wanna be alone 나 홀로
잠에 들지 못해 all night long
No
Dance alone
Lonely knight
Change 내 모든 걸 다
모두가 잠에 드는 밤
나 혼자 깨어있길 바래
I'm fighting for the night

I want to send it to you
All day, the way that I see it
Even the pretty flowers I see while I walk
Even the sky when I suddenly look at it
All day, I want to show you
How is it, the way that I see things
Even the sunset dyed in red
Even the shining clouds below that
Woo, right now the view is so beautiful
Next time, I want to walk together
Here with you
It’s a shame that only I can see this
I wanna show you
What you think you like it
Clack now
Wanna feel this mood and weather
It’s like you’re with me wherever I go
When I think of you
Only the most beautiful things come to mind
So that must be why I’m like this baby
Sun’s getting down
You can put your phone down for a bit
This moment isn’t a picture
Not if I’m with you oh baby
I want to send it to you
All day, the way that I see it
Even the pretty flowers I see while I walk
Even the sky when I suddenly look at it
All day, I want to show you
How is it, the way that I see things
Even the sunset dyed in red
Even the shining clouds below that
No matter what you do, your smile is lovely
When I’m next to you, my feelings are like a seesaw
Could 30 minutes have passed since we separated?
Only then do I return home filled with
Your heat lingering in the car seat
Tomorrow I’ll be the same
Even my painful past
I’ll fill it all up with you
There’s nothing else more that I hope for, my baby
I just want you to know I’m here
Don’t worry, just chill
Let’s be together, let us heal
The two of us, let’s just run everywhere
I want to send it to you
All day, the way that I see it
Even the pretty flowers I see while I walk
Even the sky when I suddenly look at it
All day, I want to show you
How is it, the way that I see things
Even the sunset dyed in red
Even the shining clouds below that
All of these things
Without you, there’s no meaning
I’m coming
I’m on my way to you girl
Let’s enjoy this together now
Let’s go out and get some air
I want to send it to you
All day, the way that I see it
Even the pretty flowers I see while I walk
Even the sky when I suddenly look at it
All day, I want to show you
How is it, the way that I see things
Even the sunset dyed in red
Even the shining clouds below that

아쉬워 나만 보기엔
I wanna show you
What you think You like it

그 아래 비친 구름도
뭘 해도 사랑스런 미소
그 앞에서 내 마음은 시소
너와 헤어진 후 30분쯤 지났을까
그제서야 Car seat에 남긴 온기
가득 채워 귀가해
내일 또 난 똑같애
내 아픈 과거마저 싹 다
너로 채워 나가기만
나는 더 바랄 게 없어 My baby
I just want you know I’m here
걱정하지 마 Just chill
함께하자 Let us heal

네게 보내주고 싶어
All day 내가 보는 시선
길을 가다 본 어여쁜 꽃도
문득 쳐다본 하늘도
All day 보여주고 싶어
어때 내가 보는 시선
붉게 물들여진 해 질 녘도

이 모든 것들도
너가 없으면 의미가 없어
I’m coming
너에게 가는 중이야 girl
이젠 같이 즐기자
Let’s go out and get some air
네게 보내주고 싶어

XYDO - M.U.S.E
I just wanna say
How do you have thoughts like that?
They have such feeling
You know it’s unreal
Everytime these talks about things
I couldn’t even think of
Surprise me
Girl, your words, your expressions
The tattoo on your wrist
These spoken words
That are some sort of inspiration
The way you thinking
Your opinion filled with color
Show me everything
Maybe cause you are my muse
You’re my poem, my flower, my breath
I’ve been reborn because of you
Take me to your bridge
Of the moon and starlight
You are my muse
Not matter what words, they’re not enough though
I won’t even bother to try expressing it
It’s already drawn inside my head, look at it
So beautiful
Whisper to me with your lips, no with your eyes
I’ll close my eyes and dance
You become music
Every single moment is new
A collage, ravissant*
No matter what, we’ll never be trapped
Everytime I look at you
I get inspiration
Girl I feel like
I’m blessing everyday
Baby cause you are my muse
You’re my poem, my flower, my breath
I’ve been reborn because of you
Take me to your bridge
Of the moon and starlight
You are my muse
Please don’t change from how you are
Even if it might be greedy
I want you to be mine
As time passes, you might become different
But always, only you
Always gonna be my muse
You’re my poem, my flower, my breath
I’ve been reborn because of you
Take me to your bridge
Of the moon and starlight
You are my muse
*I think this might be the French word ‘ravissant’, which means ‘delightful’ or ‘ravishing’
I just wanna say
어떻게 그런 생각들을 해 넌
감각적이야
You know it’s unreal
생각도 못 한 얘기들로 매번
놀래키잖아
Girl 너의 말투 너의 표정
손목에 Tattoo
말하는 단어 뭐가 됐던 Inspiration
The way you thinking
색깔이 담긴 Your opinion
Show me everything
Maybe cause you are my muse
너는 나의 시 나의 꽃 나의 숨
너로 인해 난 다시 태어나
Take me to your bridge
of the moon and starlight
You are my MUSE
어떤 말도 Not enough though
굳이 표현은 안 할게
내 머릿속에 그려져 이미 들여다봐
So Beautiful
입술이 아닌 눈으로 내게 속삭여줘
눈을 감을 게 춤을 춰
넌 음악이 되어서
매 순간마다 새롭게
콜라주 Ravissant
무엇도 우릴 절대 못 가둬
난 이렇게 널 바라볼 때조차
영감이 떠올라
Girl I feel like
I’m blessing everyday
Baby cause you are my muse
너는 나의 시 나의 꽃 나의 숨
너로 인해 난 다시 태어나
Take me to your bridge
of the moon and starlight
You are my MUSE
그 모습 그대로 변치 말아 줘
욕심 일진 몰라도
I want you to be mine
시간이 지나면 달라지겠지만
언제까지나 너만은
Always gonna be my muse
너는 나의 시 나의 꽃 나의 숨
너로 인해 난 다시 태어나
Take me to your bridge
of the moon and starlight
You are my MUSE

XYDO Impact Star May 2020 Interview
Normally, ‘X’ has a negative meaning, something that is prohibited. But artist Xydo’s first EP album ‘X’ walks a different path from this universal thought. Not only does he communicate and draw connections through the symbol ‘X’, but he even melted it together with his identity ‘X’ydo. Xydo has given ‘X’ a new life. While I was talking with Xydo, a new meaning was added to ‘X.’ An undefined infinity. That’s because Xydo is a free artist that tears down boundaries and strips away the old restrictions. With these activities from Xydo, it hints about the unlimited possibilities we can expect from him in the future.
I heard this is your first individual interview. It’s an honor to be the first.
X: I was really excited too. Because this is the first individual interview I’ve done since I entered my company GROOVL1N. Haha.
Let’s start with talking about your album. The album ‘X’ is your first formal EP. After its release, how was the reaction around you?
X: There was a lot of anticipation around me. When it came out, the reaction was good too. In particular, it was good because a lot of people recognised the intentions I had in the album. I cared a lot about each song. One person told me it was a ‘solid EP.’ It makes me happy when people say that it seems like good music was put into each and every song.
Among those, what was the reaction that left the biggest impression on you?
X: The fifth track is called ‘Hollow,’ and I really didn’t know that people would like it. It was completely outside of my expectations. It was a song I worked on alone for a long time, so honestly I didn’t think that it was going to go well. It was a song I put in as a connecting song, so I was really surprised a lot of people liked it.
Oppositely, as a listener, among the tracks it has a feeling that is unrivaled, so it’s a song where we can feel the most honesty. Sort of like it doesn’t have a full development. It must be because you’re the creator that the reaction to ‘Hollow’ was outside of your expectations.
X: I was really surprised. It’s not a genre I’ve done, songs with a heavy atmosphere. ‘Hollow’ has this toxic depressing sentiment, you know. But when people liked it, I thought “Oh? This kind of image must be okay too.” I tried to make every track primarily from my experiences and emotions, but as you heard, ‘Hollow’ has the most of my story. There have been toxic depressing days, so it’s a song I wrote in a fleeting moment during that day.
How long did it take for this album to be made?
X: I think it took around 4-5 months. Actually, this is the first time I’ve talked about this, but the track list we initially planned was completely changed. Everything. When I looked at what I had worked on, the mood and stories I had thought about weren’t coming out. The lyrics were particularly challenging. There was just a feeling that it didn’t touch me. Eventually I started again, and that took about 4-5 months.
After talking with you some, it seems like the emphasis of overall flow is your style.
X: That’s right. No matter if it’s a single or an album, it’s an ‘album’ so I think there has to be some sort of merit. Rather than just simply listening to one song, there are times where you have to listen to the whole album to know it. So there was emphasis put on the connections between tracks. If you listen, I think you can feel the flow and the story that follows.
That’s right. While you were explaining your album too, you talked about “connections and crossings.” I’m curious about the ultimate meaning of naming the album ‘X.’
X: The title ‘X,’ usually it means something that is prohibited, it’s a character that’s thought of as the embodiment of things you can’t do. But in a crossing or in a situation where lines meet, it makes an ‘X.’ Thinking about those other meanings of ‘X,’ it’s similar to the things I wanted to say about my album. Also, it’s the same as the first letter of my name, so I thought it blended naturally together with my identity. Like this sort of interpretation of ‘X,’ I think seeing other possibilities is good. Even the things that look ‘paradoxical’. I thought ‘connections and crossings’ was paradoxical. Because it can mean that things that meet have an end, and at the end there is another beginning. So to define all these things, I thought of the character ‘X.’ So even if it’s strange, my album name ended up becoming ‘X.’
It seems like the foundation of ‘X’ is ‘Love.’ The mood throughout the whole album has content that expresses the emotions you feel while loving someone.
X: I think more than a love story, they’re songs written about the doubt I’ve felt or my everyday emotions. We enjoy stories about the realizations that come after pain. But when I was making this album, I think it must have shifted to being about love rather than anguish through my worrying. I think this album was completed when I was really deeply worried. At its start, love is really beautiful and feels like a dream, but eventually the end will come. I felt this process was beautiful. In the face of this, I communicated the paradoxical meaning I explained earlier. It was fun unraveling this new way of telling a love story.
As expected, all the tracks follow that process. From the exciting beginning to the anguished goodbye, all these moods unfold. While ‘M.U.S.E’ is the first track that starts the album, it’s a song that paints the moment of falling in love for the first time. I’m curious about how this song came to be.
X: Everyone has fallen in love at least one time. It’s like that for me too. During that time, I think I really got a lot of inspiration from the other person. So this inspiration came to me, and when I was specially working with it, the word ‘muse’ kept coming to mind. It’s often said ‘you’re my muse,’ you know. The person you love carries that sort of existence. You feel that brilliant existence through this large charm. I wanted to be sure to express that in a song. So that’s how ‘M.U.S.E’ was created.
You seem like a person who treats emotions with subtlety. After coming out of GROOVL1N, you must have an unfamiliar image to the general public who’s getting to know you for the first time. The side you’re showing now is considerably different from music like ‘Asura’ you did together with Ravi. What kind of person is Xydo who shows all these different sides?
X: That’s right. There are a lot of people who ended up knowing me through ‘Asura’ or GROOVL1N. I think the color of the music I did together with the company artists matches me well. Speaking more precisely, it made me more diverse so that I could match well with the mood of a song. It was fun because of that. Haha. But including everything from GROOVL1N up until now, if you listen to the music I’ve released, the feeling is really different. Originally, I have a very positive personality and there are a lot of subtle sides to me. And I match my personality to the people I’m with. So a lot of people have said I’m different from what they expected. (laughs)
On one hand, this album called ‘X’ is full of your color, and exudes trendy sounds, melodies, and lyrics throughout. What sort of current trends are you following in the music industry?
X: Actually, when I make music, I don’t stick largely to trends. I think music industry trends themselves are started through the influence of special people. Until now, hip hop has secured its place in the mainstream, but I don’t know what genre will enter next. It’s fun to imagine from time to time ‘won’t a genre like this become popular?’ but that might not be right every time. When you look at it like that, I didn’t want to follow trends that are impossible to predict. Right now, R&B is on the rise in the music industry, but actually I think the boundary will become more ambiguous. There’s an atmosphere of just conveniently calling all genres ‘K-pop’ or ‘popular’ to the public.
That sort of genre boundary ambiguity, from this idea of fusion, I think GROOVL1N must have similar personalities. From idol turned hip hop artist Ravi, a lot of various artists have gathered.
X: That’s right. That’s one reason why I want to continue being with GROOVL1N in the future. Everyone is opening me up to diversity and newness. There are new opportunities too.
Xydo, you seem to set wide possibilities and then move past those. Whether it’s the boundaries around your singing style or collaborations, you seem to be tearing those down one by one.
X: I try to be like that. As I live, I have stereotypes and prejudices. Stereotypes and prejudices can trap your thoughts, you know. So as a creator, you end up being unable to make even more fun things. Those ‘eureka’ moments or extraordinary things, those come from places we might not even be able to think of. I feel like in order to do those sort of things, you have to tear down boundaries.
If you look at your social media, you seem to work together with a crew called Value Per Hour (V/hr). Can you introduce what type of crew this is?
X: There is an artist called E.viewz from Sony Music Entertainment. He’s a friend I’m close to like a soulmate. When I make music, he’s an artist who gives me a lot of help and has had a big influence on me. After talking with him for a long time, we thought about starting a crew. Looking at the like minded artists we gathered, we already have 9 people. Our biggest ultimate goal is ‘happily making music all together.’ If we’re different from other crews, it’s that we’re a little more systematic. All the members' attitudes about music is in itself professional, and by respecting each other, we create this sort of business state. If we meet in our everyday lives, we’re as close as we can be, but we’re the type that will definitely do work. This process took a little while to develop. It’s already been two years. I want to show even more good steps going forward with Value Per Hour.
Now I’m curious about your first connection with GROOVL1N.
X: Primarily, I was uploading songs and song covers on social media and SoundCloud. Because of that, Ravi ended up hearing my music through social media. First he suggested we work together, and I thought it would be a good opportunity, so I readily supported it. Our work started with the song ‘Hoodie’ and of course, naturally we ended up having a musical exchange, and at that point, Ravi was in the process of creating a company. Ravi suggested first that I join the company. But at the time, I was in the middle of making a contract with another company, so at the time I couldn’t do anything but refuse. Eventually my relationship with the other company didn’t work out. I think because the musical direction I wanted to take didn’t match with them. So I spelled everything out with Ravi, and our thoughts matched well. I ended up learning that he’s a person with a good set of values. I had an experience being mismatched before, so I was more careful, but we really match well. So that’s how I ended up working together with GROOVL1N.
Now that you’ve worked together, how is it? Do you feel like you have gained enough trust in GROOVL1N?
X: Every moment we’re together, I feel trust. At first, there was this ‘CEO’ wall with Ravi, but gradually he showed me this very human side. We’re like friends of the same age. We’ve talked a lot about music, and while we’ve worked together, I think we’ve gained trust naturally. Looking at it now, I ended up opening up too. We tend to be honest to each other about things that will help the other person. I think those conversations lead both of us in better directions. I feel it as time goes by. Right now GROOVL1N is as good as it can be. Haha.
What sort of synergy do you expect together with GROOVL1N?
X: First, I think increasing the influence of myself as an artist. I hope that I can do more global activities together with GROOVL1N. When I work together with my friends from the company, I can do the things I do well, but it’s a good thing to be able to take on the challenge of doing things I don’t know too. I think it’s really fun. Like ‘Asura’, ‘Knife Dance,’ ‘Goddess,’ I hope there are even more things I haven’t done that we’ll be able to do together. Now, as expected I think the synergy with the other members is good, but going forward I’m anticipating more various artists to enter. I think I’ll enjoy the stage too. I want to make fun music. Doing work enjoyably is good, as you know. Haha.
Xydo, with your free thoughts, how would you explain your identity?
X: I don’t tend to like to be limited. I want to try a lot of different things. To put it simply, I don’t want people to know my identity. Like, “what is he doing?” (laughs) I hope people are endlessly curious. Not a person who does defined music, but a person who peaks curiosity every time, like ‘what will Xydo do this time?’ This is my identity.

RAVI - GODDESS (feat. Xydo)
Aw goosebumps, aw
When I look at you
Even from your sigh, I’m a holic
Inside your formal outfit, unexpectedly
You make me gather up my two hands
Baby you’re my
You’re my goddess
You’re my goddess
You’re my goddess
You’re my sweety sign
Make it so I can’t live (without you)
Anymore, goddess yeah
How to copy and paste
Everybody rest
It’s as if I’m touching the domain
Of the gods, my goddess
Your denim line
Has a sharp edge
All the gazes that dare to linger
Behind your steps drop
Nobody uh

On a night where even the moon
Falls before you
Inside this line of you and me
This fantasy will disappear
Everyday
My body connects with you
More deeply, closely, drop it, rocket
How could you babe
Inside this near devotion
Everyday you closely touch my chest
And though I’m hungry for you to pillow (your head)*
(We’re) back in the AM
Hiding in my night, your manners
Babe you made me
A mermaid who swims inside me ye
We made a greatest show ah

Make it so I can’t live (without you)

RAVI - ROCKSTAR (feat. Paloalto)
I don’t need your feedback, uh
All these guys pop up, woo, chimera
Even if you smash the mirror in front of you
And shake your fingers at me
I woo, I keep my stance, I make the cheese ah
Even with a knife at my throat, I keep straight
With a childlike spirit
I take off my top and throw it
The rain falls down blood red
When it’s dry with the rain falling down,
I become strong, straight up
The light that will fall above my head
Below the clouds, that’s my flava
What you’re talk(ing) about
Aiming a gun while screaming peace, what
Biased words that seem straight but bent on causing chaos
Let me talk about your gentlemen, click clack
I don’t give a uh
I don’t give a what
GTCK
The new world’s baller
Raise up the Earth
These shiny ices*
A goblin’s party
GROOVL1N who?
I’m strong, bad badass, rockstar
*The word he uses here (얼음들이) literally translates to 'ices' so I think he is referring to his people being really cool.
Badass badass bad
Speak up
Badass badass bad
Smash the guitar on the floor
A headbanging gang gang
Like we’re trying to take the world
Badass badass bad
Speak up
Get that get that dough
Speak up
Even if you cough up blood,
Wipe it off and scream
I’m strong, bad badass, rockstar
The success you speak of, the goal you speak of
There’s no role model like what you’ve shown yourself
The soul that I show to you of a guy like me
Can’t be changed with someone who’s that full of themselves
This is right, I go over them, the many barriers
I’ve seen my future, so I know now
If you can’t applaud me for my accomplishments, just shut up
It’s not a fail that it’s different from your opinion
Why do I have to be like you?
When I do things like you, why do I do it?
I learned from my cool heroes
I bickered with myself for a long time
Sometimes I wandered around, but actually it wasn’t wandering
This is levitating
This time of perseverance is my talent
How many years did I exchange into money
Don’t be timid, let’s get this money man
I’m strong, bad badass, rockstar
Badass badass bad
Speak up
Badass badass bad
Smash the guitar on the floor
A headbanging gang gang
Like we’re trying to take the world
Badass badass bad
Speak up
Get that get that dough
Speak up
Even if you cough up blood,
Wipe it off and scream
I’m strong, bad badass, rockstar
Why do we have to endure this all, these layers of life?
Why can’t we be reckless?
Mixed in these groups filled with fear
Why do we have to be ashamed
With lying smiles and hide our tears
Yeah, if I cry
I’m gonna let it all out
If I curse at myself,
I’m gonna tear myself up
That’s right, if you annoy me to make me crazy
I’ll hit it, I’ll break it all down
I’ll make it chaotic and laugh
Why can’t I say the right words?
Why do I have to endure it even when I do?
Why can’t I do what I want?
We can all be rockstars
I’m strong, bad badass, rockstar
I I DON’T NEED YOUR FEEDBACK UH
싹 다 나다 인마 WOO 키메라
지 앞에 거울 깨고 삿대질해도
난 WOO 내 스탠스 유지하며 CHEESE 해 AH
목에 칼 들어와도 난 직진해
어린 패기
윗도리 벗어 던져버리고
핏빛으로 비를 내린다
비 내림 따위 마르면
단단해져 STRAIGHT UP
구름 아래 빛이
내릴 머리 THAT’S MY FLAVA
WHAT YOUR TALK ABOUT
총을 겨눈 채 외치는 PEACE WHAT
수평이라며 혈안이 된 피사
LET ME TALK ABOUT YOUR 신사 CLICK CLACK

왜 부끄러워해야 해
그래 난 눈물이 나면
울어버릴 거야
그래 난 나를 욕하면

그래 미치도록 빡쳐 버리면
때려 부숴버리고 다
난장판으로 만들고 웃을 거야
왜 맞는 말을 하면 안 돼
왜 맞을 말을 해도 참아야 돼
왜 내 맘대로 하면 안 돼

RAVI - LO-FI (feat. Sik-k)
Eh, heartless inside this city
Only the sound of cash inside the jar you pass to me
A terrorist who shoots with love
Every night I want you to give yourself to me
And you laugh
Why am I so serious?
From where, to who can I trust?
These foul smelling handshakes that are extended out
Could that be because of my arrogant bias?
Your dominant touch across my legs and shoulders
These returning lights eh, a picture filled with desire, ye
Woo, these gentlemen who have just appeared handing out their name cards
These tipsy burdensome greetings become faint
Oh what’s the problem
Is the messed up thing the world or me?
Voices twisted together with flesh*
Make me feel ill at ease
*Here he uses the word 살들이 which literally translates to “flesh/fat.” It’s hard to know the exact meaning he was wanting here, but I think the idea is that the voices are so ingrained it’s like a part of his body.
I get out, with me
Lo-fi, I need oh lo-fi
I’ll twang this guitar I couldn’t play all night, Led Zeppelin
He and she who don’t know me and sing my songs
That’s not love, no bad news
Lo-fi, I need oh lo-fi
I want to stay away from this world, it’s vicious
I’ll stack up the cash
Even if I collapse
Lo-fi so that transparent love can be protected
Taking care of someone, how can I take care of something
I can’t even take responsibility for myself
And I’m nervous again
If you get burned around 23 times
It’s easier for them to stick, A cut
Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap
You end up raising your white flag
Even if a cocktail love is more aromatic
It ends the same with your head hurting
Awfully, you mix another drink, but you saw it earlier
Sometimes I only trust the money bills
Actually no it’s quite often
Gotta spend more than I used to
Acknowledge it, I’m the leader of the new school
The scale of my income isn’t going down
I will let you watch me, Youtube
Enduring for a long time is my specialty
I stick a flame at the end of my French Black
Even spinning the world is round
Now I’m staying global
You’ll have to know who I am
Son
Don’t dramatize, dramatize
End up with suicide
Everytime, some of my homies opened devil’s eyes
I get out, with me
Lo-fi, I need oh lo-fi
I’ll twang this guitar I couldn’t play all night, Led Zeppelin
He and she who don’t know me and sing my songs
That’s not love, no bad news
Lo-fi, I need oh lo-fi
I want to stay away from this world, it’s vicious
I’ll stack up the cash
Even if I collapse
Lo-fi so that transparent love can be protected
EH 도시 속의 HEARTLESS
네가 건넨 잔 속엔 지폐 소리만
사랑을 쏜 테러리스트
매일 밤마다 널
내게 주고 싶다며 넌 웃어
WHY AM I SO SERIOUS
어디부터 누구까지 믿을 수가 있을 까
악취가 베인 채 내민 악수를
과연 나의 오만한 편견이라 할 수 있을 까
내 다리 어깨 위 네 주도적인 스침
돌아가는 불빛들 EH 유혹을 담은 그림 YE
WOO 새로 등장한 신사가 쥐여준 명함
술기운이 가득한 채 부담스럽게 인사
희미 해져 OH WHAT’S THE PROBLEM
망가진 게 세상인지 나인지
수많은 목소리와 엉킨 살들이
불편해 난
자릴 박차고 나와
LO-FI I NEED OH LO-FI
밤새 못 치는 기탈 튕길 거야 레드 제플린
나를 모른다며
내 노래를 부르는 그와 그녀는
사랑이 아냐 NO BAD NEWS
LO-FI I NEED OH LO-FI
세상을 멀리 할래 지독하게 난
지폐를 쌓을 거야
내가 무너져도
투명한 사랑을 지킬 수 있게 LO-FI
누굴 챙기고 또 뭘 어떻게 챙겨
나도 날 못 책임져
다시 긴장해 있어
23번 정도 데이면
더 쉽게 찍어 A컷
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP
너는 백기 들게 돼 있어
칵테일 사랑 더 향기롭다 해도
어차피 똑같아 끝엔 머리만 아파
지독하게 또 한 잔 섞지만 아까 봤잖아
난 지폐만 믿어 가끔
아니 사실 아주 자주
GOTTA SPEND MORE THAN I USED TO
인정해 날 LEADER OF THE NEW SCHOOL
안 줄어들어 내 수입 눈금
I WILL LET YOU WATCH ME, YOUTUBE
오래 버티기 내 주특기
FRENCH BLACK 끝에 불붙지
돌아도 지군 둥글지
난 이젠 GLOBAL 묵은지
알아야 될 걸 내가 누군지
SON
DON’T DRAMATIZE
DRAMATIZE, END UP WITH SUICIDE
EVERYTIME, SOME OF MY HOMIES OPENED DEVIL’S EYES
자릴 박차고 나와
LO-FI I NEED OH LO-FI
밤새 못 치는 기탈 튕길 거야 레드 제플린
나를 모른다며
내 노래를 부르는 그와 그녀는
사랑이 아냐 NO BAD NEWS
LO-FI I NEED OH LO-FI
세상을 멀리 할래 지독하게 난
지폐를 쌓을 거야
내가 무너져도
투명한 사랑을 지킬 수 있게 LO-FI

HYUK DAZED FEBRUARY 2020 INTERVIEW
How was the shoot today?
It’s my first official schedule of 2020, so it was exciting. It sort of felt like waking up from hibernation.
What season do you like the best?
Winter. Since winter will be over soon, each day is precious. (laughs)
Which season do you think suits your voice the best?
I’m not sure, I don’t think it would be summer or winter. So then I guess it has to be either winter or spring?
Last December with the release of “Winter Butterfly,” you finished your <Four Seasons Project>. Was there a reason you released solo songs based on the seasons?
I wanted to communicate with my fans. There are many various ways to meet fans. I thought the way that I can express myself the most sincerely is through music. When I released a song every season, I was able to continuously communicate with the fans for a year.
All the songs are self-composed. When did you start writing songs?
My first self-composed song was “I’ll Hold You.” It was a song I only released online through SoundCloud and Youtube, but luckily a lot of fans liked it. When I listen to my songs, I get excited about composing.
When you’re composing, where do you get your inspiration?
Dramas and movies. After my acting debut, it can also come from the messages and the lingering motives from productions. After I watched the tvN drama <Mister Sunshine,> I wrote my song for summer last year, ‘Way to You.’ In the show, Yoojin, Dongmae, and Heesung all love Aeshin. It’s a love that can’t come true, but all three people want to go towards her. From this, there is the motive ‘the road to you will be my road, my end is you’ and this unfolded into the words to the song. Blindly longing for someone will eventually be a difficult thing.
It’s already been 9 years since your debut. If you look back at the 2010s, what do you think?
In 10 years, of course things change. (laughs) This year, only half of my 20s are left. If I look back, I think that it passed while working really hard.
What do the words “working hard” mean to you?
After I went through a short training period and debuted, I felt a compulsion and pressure that I had to practice more than the other members, so it was hard. I thought that I couldn’t be a nuisance to the members, so after our schedules were over, I headed to the practice room. Even after debut, for 5 years I went to the practice room everyday. Even when I was resting, it was comfortable to rest in the practice room. (laughs) But at some point, it surpassed “effort” and ate away at me. It seemed like it was making even the people around me exhausted and tired. But I would never think that time was bad. It’s just, I lived in that way, so for my remaining 20s, I resolved to live in a different way, more freely.
Looking at previous media and interviews you’ve done, you said you didn’t have certainty or confidence as an artist until 2017. You seem pretty much the same.
Yes, but now I’ve become more relaxed. The biggest difference is that whatever I do, I’ve gained confidence in the things I do myself. Even if I make mistakes, I acknowledge them, and because I can accept them, it puts me at ease. While I’m trying to make music or acting, I’m not really indecisive and I don’t hesitate a lot.
Is it thanks to that? A little while ago, you held your first solo concert. How did it feel to be on stage for over 2 hours by yourself?
Really, I’m comfortable when I’m on stage. Actually, it was hard when I was preparing and practicing for the concert. It can be too much and overwhelming (with emotion). A lot of feelings come and go, but when the show starts and I sing, those sorts of thoughts disappear. The time spent together with the audience, that is happy.
When you do full-scale solo promotions, is there something that’s musically different from previous promotions?
With the group VIXX, because we show a conceptual and active performance, I wanted to show an image opposite to that. Comfortable, calm, healing music. Now, I’m trying to catch both of the rabbits!* (laughs)
T/N: This is a kind of Korean phrase that refers to when someone is trying to do many things. So on top of doing the high concept and energy of VIXX, he is also doing calm and quiet music.
You mentioned it a little bit ago. You can’t leave out the stories in acting. When you are both an actor and a singer, there must be some positives and negatives.
When you’re acting, you need a wide range of experiences. While I was an idol, I was accustomed to restraining myself. It was difficult, but now I’m trying to shed that off. At the same time, I think I can express my emotions more freely than before. Before, singing on stage, even if I was so overwhelmed I could die, I hid it, but now I express that. Looking at it like that, I think the stages (I do) have become more rich and have more sincerity.
Acting and singing, using both of these talents, you have taken up the challenge this time of becoming a musical actor. Your first show <The Eyes of Dawn>, doesn’t have much time left before it opens.
From the Japanese occupation to the division of North Korea, this is a production with a distinct narration with the historical pain of a nation. It’s our history, and if we go a little forward, it’s my story. So I was able to immerse myself better. Actually, before I picked this show, I considered the influence of it and how it could make the fans who came to see me aware of some historical facts. Young fans, foreign fans, people of various ages and races, people that could learn the facts of our history. I thought if only I do well, it could be a good opportunity for everyone.
By the time this musical is finished, it’ll be spring. This coming spring, is there a place you would like to travel to?
Incheon, Ganghwa or a quiet domestic place like Gangnam, Namhae. Make a plan that’s enough for about a week, and I want to just stay in a quiet and cozy place. Just like a resident! (laughs).
It’s the start of 2020, so I’ll ask. As an artist, until where do you think Han Sanghyuk will go?
Of the emotions and messages that I want to express, one point where I can make some sort of outcome is now I really want to become an ‘artist.’ I’m not sure what sort of modifiers I should attach to the word ‘artist,’ but I guess that will depend on what I do, right? (laughs)

RAVI - SCARYNIGHTT
Woo, a nightmare that eats up the night
I’m locked inside this darkness
With its organization
A palette filled with achromatic colors
A deep and heavy grey color
That’s shrouding this scary night, ya
Woo, below this brightly shining moon
Inside my studio
I’m doing this pantomime of useless anxiety again, woo
I create, creation’s slave
That’s me, I hate it, fuck, ah
Keeping positive ye positive
That’s right, I’m always positive
Even while thinking that
It could all be a lie
This is art, ah rrr
Art’s bullshit ah woo
Ah, I don’t know either
Everything is just going back and forth
Woo everything
Scary night
Woo, a nightmare that eats up the night
I’m locked inside this darkness
With its organization
Scary night
A palette filled with achromatic colors
A deep and heavy grey color
That’s shrouding this scary night, ya
A life belt covered with an unyielding spirit
With these wounds and scars
Right there woo ah
As if they’re stacking up and overflowing in this bag*
Tomorrow please come, bright ye
Ye no more scary night ya
Umm but fuck
Nobody has made me
Do any of these things
But why am I like this?
It’s all my greed again
I know, even if I know,
Something I don’t is life
Woo I'm fuckin' happy
I’m happy when I’m sweating
Yeah yeah, why can’t they do it like me
All the other people
All my wishes from when I wore a school uniform
Have come true, but I lost something
I begged, I groveled
I grabbed it, but I lost it all again
Woo, all
Scary night
Woo, a nightmare that eats up the night
I’m locked inside this darkness
With its organization
Scary night
A palette filled with achromatic colors
A deep and heavy grey color
That’s shrouding this scary night, ya
A life belt covered with an unyielding spirit
With these wounds and scars
Right there woo ah
As if they’re stacking up and overflowing in this bag*
Tomorrow please come, bright ye
Ye no more scary night ya
I know then I don’t
I don’t know then I do
Even if it’s like I’m the best
Again, I’m like those talent less idiots
I hypnotize myself, I’m the best
Then it’s reality again, over and over
Oh fuckin, I’m the best
No, it’s not a contest
*The word Ravi uses here is 망태, which is an old type of straw bag. I translated this word literally because it made more sense in the sentence, but this could also be referring to 망태 할아버지. This is similar to the Western idea of the boogie man. If children misbehaved, they were told the 망태 할아버지 would come get them and take them in its bag. Since this song is about a scary nightmare, I think this could be a reference.
woo 밤을 먹는 Nightmare
날 어둠 안에 가두고
제법 짜임새 있게
무채색만이 담긴 팔레트
깊고 짙은 그레이 색
뒤덮인 scary night ya
woo 휘영청 밝은 달 아래
내 스튜디오 안에
난 또 괜한 불안감에
팬터마임 하네 woo
창작해 창작의 노예
그게 나야 싫어 fuck 아
Keeping positive ye positive
그래 언제나 긍정적이긴
어쩜 전부 거짓일 수도
있다는 생각이 들지만서도
이게 예술이지 ah rrr
예술 개소리지 ah woo
아 나도 몰라
오락가락하는 게 전부 다
woo 다
Scary night
woo 밤을 먹는 Nightmare
날 어둠 안에 가두고
제법 짜임새 있게
Scary night
무채색만이 담긴 팔레트
깊고 짙은 그레이 색
뒤덮인 scary night ya
오기로 덮인 Life belt
상처는 흉이 져버린 채로
right there woo ah
밀린 듯 넘쳐버린 망태
내일 와줘 bright ye
ye no more scary night ya
Umm 근데 fuck
Nobody 내게
아무도 이따위 것들을
시킨 적이 없어
근데 왜 난 이렇게 이럴까
다 내 욕심이지
알아 알아도 모르는 게 삶
Woo I'm fuckin' happy
난 땀 흘릴 때가 행복하지
그래그래 나처럼 왜 못하지
딴 사람들은 다
교복 입던 내 바램들은 다
이뤘고 뭔갈 잃었어
난 빌었고 매일 기었어
난 쥐었고 또 놓쳤어 난 다
Woo 다
Scary night
woo 밤을 먹는 Nightmare
날 어둠 안에 가두고
제법 짜임새 있게
Scary night
무채색만이 담긴 팔레트
깊고 짙은 그레이 색
뒤덮인 scary night ya
오기로 덮인 Life belt
상처는 흉이 져버린 채로
right there woo ah
밀린 듯 넘쳐버린 망태
내일 와줘 bright ye
ye no more scary night ya
알다가 몰라
모르다가 알고
내가 최고 같다가도
재능 없는 모지리 같다가도 또
내가 최고라고 나를 최면하고
또 현타 반복
Oh fuckin 내가 최고
아니 경쟁 안 한다고 난

LEO - Gesture
Even though you pretend you don’t know and pretend it’s not like that
You’re full of only those thoughts
That business between us, with you
That monotonous kind of talk
You know it all, without me even saying anything
I wanna be with you, I have a lot to say
When it’s like this, it’s always natural
You quietly escape
And I’m at the mercy of those staring eyes
All my senses become dull
How many times has it been already, it’s always this way
You’re always looking down above my head
Your eyes keep gesturing
Even if you conceal it, it can be seen
Even if you say it’s not like that, it’s leaking out
I need you love, need you love, need you love
You’re bewitching me, you’re having fun
Today too, you stop stop stop
Don’t try to stop
It’s like watching a small child
Nobody know body know body know
Even if I think I know, I don’t, your gesture
I grab your arms, why are you like this again?
You expertly tie the leash
You smile with your eyes, tell me to wait, pat my head
Tell me I did well and kiss my cheek
There’s nothing to be done, I don’t want to say
I have nothing to say, you know me well
Just don’t ask and push it one more time
So that the closed door opens
Show me what passion is 10 times
So that I’m past even being able to win
You’re going to hope for it too soon
You make a face like it’s not like that
You grasp my hands
I’m melting just like snow
I need you love, need you love, need you love
It’s obvious now
You’re using me
Today too, you stop stop stop
Don’t try to stop
It’s like watching a small child
Nobody know body know body know
Even if I think I know, I don’t, your gesture
You pretend it’s not, but your heart is racing
What I want
Is entirely what you want too
Your gestures pretend not to
But what’s inside you is plain to see
You know completely
What I hope for
Stop stop stop, don’t trick your heart
It can’t be hidden
Nobody know body know body know
What’s important now is your gesture
모른 척하고 아닌 척해도
온통 그런 생각들뿐
너와 단둘이 그런 비즈니스
단조로운 뭐 그런 얘기
전부 다 알잖아 아무 말 안 해도
I wanna be with u 할 말이 좀 많아
꼭 이럴 때면 늘 자연스럽게 늘
조용하게 빠져나가고
날 응시하는 그 두 눈에 휘둘려
모든 감각이 무뎌지고
벌써 몇 번째야 늘 이런 식이지
내 머리 위에서 다 내려 보고 있어
자꾸만 손짓하는 눈빛
가려도 보이는 끼
아니라고 말해도 흘리고 있잖아
I need u love need u love
need u love
날 홀리고 있어 너 즐기고 있잖아
오늘도 넌 stop stop stop
멈추려 하지 마
어린아이 보듯
Nobody know body know body know
알다가도 모를 너의 그 gesture
두 팔을 붙잡고 왜 이러냐고 또
능숙하게 목줄을 묶고
눈웃음을 주고 기다리라며 툭
잘했다고 볼 키스를 하고
방법이 없잖아 I don’t want to say
더 할 말이 없어 날 잘 알고 있잖아
그냥 묻지 말고 한 번 더 밀어붙여
닫힌 문이 열리게
열정적인 게 뭔지 열 번은 보여줘 봐
못 이기듯 넘기게
너도 곧 바랄 거면서
아니란 얼굴 하고선
손에 움켜쥐곤
눈 녹이듯 녹이고 있어
I need u love need u love
need u love
분명한 건 지금
날 다루고 있잖아
오늘도 넌 stop stop stop
멈추려 하지 마
어린아이 보듯
Nobody know body know body know
알다가도 모를 너의 그 gesture
아닌척하는 너의 다급해진 심장소리
내가 원하는 건
완전히 너도 원하는 거
아닌 척하는 몸짓
뻔히 보이는 네 속이
내가 바라는 걸
완벽히 너도 알고 있다고
Stop stop stop 맘을 속이지 마
숨길 수도 없는
Nobody know body know body know
중요한 건 지금 너의 그 gesture

LEO - 꿈 (Dream)
I close my eyes for a moment
In the quietly blowing wind
I think of the me
I had sincerely wished to be
Though it was quite small
And perilous
The sky was free
That day when I painted
An unchanging dream
From where did I come
Above this sky I had hoped for
This small song that shone red
To make the long night pass by
So that you don’t waver, so that
You aren’t lonely anymore
Let out a deep breath
And fly up
To your dreams
I let out tears
In the wind that blows again
I don’t feel alright
But with effort I smile
Trapped inside this never ending day
Even if my breath is tight
I recall that day
Where I smiled brightly and
Painted that dream
Even if above the road you dreamed of
Is a little different
For the song that always shone red
Inside your heart
So that you don’t get tired
So that you don’t disappear
Let out a deep breath
And fly up
To your dreams
Even if you become frayed and weak
There’s no unnecessary pain
Even if they say it’s wrong and shake their heads
Rise up to your sky
From where did I come
Above this sky I had hoped for
This small song that shone red
To make the long night pass by
So that you don’t waver, so that
You aren’t lonely anymore
Let out a deep breath
And fly up
To your dreams
I close my eyes for a moment
In the quietly blowing wind
I think of the me
I had sincerely wished to be
조용히 부는 바람에
잠시 눈을 감아
간절히 원하던 나의
모습이 떠올라
참 작았고
위태로워도
자유롭던 하늘
변하지 않는 꿈을 그리던
그날의 나에게
내가 바라온 하늘 위
어디쯤 왔을까
길던 밤 지나도록
붉게 빛나준 작은 노래
흔들리지 않게 더 외롭지 않게
깊은 숨을 내쉬고
날아올라
너의 꿈을
또 다시 부는 바람에
눈물을 내쉬어
괜찮지 않은 마음이
애써 미소를 지어
끝나지 않는 하루에 갇혀
숨이 조여와도
밝게 웃으며 꿈을 그리던
그날을 떠올려
네가 꿈꿔온 이 길 위
좀 다르더라도
언제나 그 마음속에
붉게 빛나 온 노랠 위해
더 지치지 않게 사라지지 않게
깊은 숨을 내쉬고
날아올라
너의 꿈을
헤지고 약해져도
필요치 않은 아픔은 없어
틀린 거라고 고개 저어도
너의 하늘로 피어올라
내가 바라온 하늘 위
어디쯤 왔을까
길던 밤 지나도록
붉게 빛나준 작은 노래
흔들리지 않게 더 외롭지 않게
깊은 숨을 내쉬고
날아올라
너의 꿈을
조용히 부는 바람에
잠시 눈을 감아
간절히 원하던 나의
모습이 떠올라

LEO - 나는 요즘 (Nowadays)
As if it was nothing, I became okay
It took more time than I thought
At the loss of those days, that time
I laugh a little
We had good days together
And because of you, I learned a lot
Just that in itself was warm
And was beautiful enough
How are you now?
What sort of person
Do I remain as in your memories?
Actually, when I open my eyes
I wander and look for you, like a habit
And wipe away the tears that fall
I wonder about how you are these days
If you still look for me when you wake up
If you have scary dreams
I thoughtlessly walk along the street alone
I turn on the songs we listened to together
I turn on the movies we liked
You from A to Z
You called and looked for me
For even the small and trivial things
I miss that voice
Without even realizing I cover my ears
How are you now?
What sort of person
Do I remain as in your memories?
Actually, when I open my eyes
I wander and look for you, like a habit
And wipe away the tears that fall
I wonder about how you are these days
If you still look for me when you wake up
If you have scary dreams
I pray for you every night
That you will always smile
Actually, I pray for myself
For things to turn back
These days I’m just the same as I was back then
I can’t be okay just like that
So I hope you’re like that too
I hope you’re like me
Actually, when I open my eyes
I wander and look for you, like a habit
And wipe away the tears that fall
I wonder about how you are these days
If you still look for me when you wake up
If you have scary dreams
아무렇지 않아 나 괜찮아졌어
생각보다 좀 더 시간이 걸렸고
좀 웃음이 나와 그날들이
그 시간이 아쉬움에
좋은 날을 함께했고
덕분에 많이 배웠어
그 자체로 따듯했고
충분히 아름다웠어
지금 넌 어때
난 어떤 사람으로
너의 기억에 남은지
사실 난 아직 눈을 뜨면
습관처럼 너를 찾아 헤매이다
떨어지는 눈물을 닦아
요즘 넌 어떤지 궁금해
아직도 잠에서 깨면 날 찾는지
무서운 꿈을 꾸진 않는지
아무 생각 없이 혼자 길을 걷고
같이 듣던 노래들을 틀어놓고
좋아하던 영화를 켜놓고
하나부터 너 열까지
사소한 작은 일조차
소리쳐서 날 찾던 너
그 목소리가 그리워
나도 몰래 귀를 막아
지금 넌 어때
난 어떤 사람으로
너의 기억에 남은지
사실 난 아직 눈을 뜨면
습관처럼 너를 찾아 헤매이다
떨어지는 눈물을 닦아
요즘 넌 어떤지 궁금해
아직도 잠에서 깨면 날 찾는지
무서운 꿈을 꾸진 않는지
매일 밤 널 위해 기도해
언제나 웃게 해달라고
사실 난 날 위해 기도해
되돌려달라고
요즘 난 예전과 똑같아
좀처럼 괜찮지 못해서
너도 그러길 바래
나와 같기를 바래
난 아직 눈을 뜨면
습관처럼 너를 찾아 헤매이다
떨어지는 눈물을 닦아
요즘 넌 어떤지 궁금해
아직도 잠에서 깨면 날 찾는지
무서운 꿈을 꾸진 않는지

LEO - Give Me Something
Your charms that I can’t choose dazzle me
I hold onto you without a moment of rest
I can’t defeat this part of me that’s getting bigger
Without a chance of this running dry, I hold onto it
How is it that I can’t get tired at all
There’s no chance to feel disappointed
The truth of you brings forward this hallucination again
You come inside and leave no empty space
What should I say, it’s you
My sweetie sweetie
Sweet my love
Look at me clearly
Don’t lose this moment
Take me, I’ll hold on till the end
Show me your everything
Give me something
Give me something
Come on, come on
Give me something
Give me something
Show me yourself till the end
Give me something
You know it, you know it
Give me something
So show me, so show me
Give me something
I know it, I know it
Give me something
Bring me to that place
The sudden rain that runs down your thin waist
It’s like it will soak through everything
I follow that unknowable smile, that expression
And see I world I’ve never seen before
The time that I thought would be enough is decreasing
We were still a bit far away but
I can’t help but be soft and gradually melt into you
I perfectly sink in
What should I say, it’s you
My sweetie sweetie
Sweet my love
Look at me clearly
Don’t lose this moment
Take me, I’ll hold on till the end
Show me your everything
Give me something
Give me something
Come on, come on
Give me something
Give me something
Show me yourself till the end
Give me something
You know it, you know it
Give me something
So show me, so show me
Give me something
I know it, I know it
Give me something
Bring me to that place
Give me something
Give me something
Come on, come on
Give me something
Give me something
Show me yourself till the end
Give me something
You know it, you know it
Give me something
So show me, so show me
Give me something
I know it,I know it
Give me something
Bring me to that place
선택할 수 없는 매력이 눈부셔
쉴 틈 없이 널 붙잡아
점점 더 커지는 내가 나를 못 이겨
마를 새도 없이 붙잡아
어떻게 된 건지 전혀 지치지를 않아
아쉬울 틈이 없어
너라는 진실이 다시 환각을 불러와
빈틈없이 들어와
뭐랄까 넌 말이야
My Sweetie Sweetie
Sweet my love
선명하게 날 봐줘
순간을 놓지 말아줘
take me 끝까지 붙잡을게
널 전부 다 보여줘
Give me something
Give me something
Come on Come on
Give me something
Give me something
끝까지 널 보여줘
Give me something
You know it you know it
Give me something
So show me so show me
Give me something
I know it I know it
Give me something
그곳으로 보내줘
얇은 허리를 타고 흐르는 소나기
온통 젖을 것만 같아
알 수 없는 미소 그 표정을 따라서
처음 보는 ���상을 봐
충분할 것 같던 시간은 점점 줄어가
우린 좀 멀었지만
부드럽다 못해 점점 너에게 녹아나
완벽하게 스며가
뭐랄까 넌 말이야
My Sweetie Sweetie
Sweet my love
선명하게 날 봐줘
순간을 놓지 말아줘
take me 끝까지 붙잡을게
널 전부 다 보여줘
Give me something
Give me something
Come on Come on
Give me something
Give me something
끝까지 널 보여줘
Give me something
You know it you know it
Give me something
So show me so show me
Give me something
I know it I know it
Give me something
그곳으로 보내줘
Give me something
Give me something
Come on Come on
Give me something
Give me something
끝까지 널 보여줘
Give me something
You know it you know it
Give me something
So show me so show me
Give me something
I know it I know it
Give me something
그곳으로 보내줘
