내 20대를 바치며 [bachimyeo]
Dedicating my 20s,
무궁무진한 삶을 살고 있어
I’m living an immeasurable life
다 보란 듯, 응답하지만
As if it’s for everyone to look at, I respond, but,
날 돌아보란 듯, 커지는 이명 [imyeong]
as if it’s telling me I should look back into myself, the ringing in my ears becomes louder
세상은 빠르게 변하고
The world changes fast,
그 순간 다르게 외로워
and at every moment, a different feeling of loneliness hits me
괴로워, 아군은 없듯
It’s painful, like there’s no ally,
내 삶이 적, 적 해져가
my life gets lonesome
Note: 적 (敵) means enemy, and 적적하다 means to feel empty/lonely. So alternatively this line would mean “my life gets filled with enemy after enemy.”
Oh my gosh
.
발맞춰 살아가지만, 삐걱대
Living by keeping pace, but it creaks
애써 나를 위해 외치는 듯해
It’s as if I’m forcing myself to shout for myself,
‘Break a leg’
In my zone, 도심 속 잘 맞춰 사람도 만나지만
In my zone, I keep pace with the busy city and even meet people
교통정리가 안 된 차들처럼
But like those cars stuck with no traffic control
이리 치이고 저리 치이곤 해
I’d get pushed and hit, left and right
.
난 왜 없는데? 어디 가면 있는데?
Why is it that I don’t have one? Where should I go to find one?
게임마저 잘 보면 안전지대가 있던데
Even in games, when you look around closely, you’d find a safe zone
그래 의미 없이 발만 구르지 [balman gureuji]
Yeah, I just meaninglessly stamp my feet in frustration
이건 마치 깡통 Porsche [kkangtong poreushe]
It’s like a tin can Porsche
Note: 깡통 (tin can) is a slang term for the cheapest, entry models of luxury car brands. All looks and no substance.

나도 가고 싶은데 where is that mindset?
I also want to go, but where is that mindset?
내 심리 속에서도 있기는 한 걸까?
Does such a place even exist in my mind as well?
그 누군가는 나에게 아낌없이 줬을 터인데
I too must have had someone who was my Giving Tree,
잠시 돌이켜보기 위한 내 그루터기는 어딨나?
but where’s the stump for me to sit on and look back for a moment?
Note: Reference – The Giving Tree. The Korean title of the book is 아낌없이 주는 나무, a literal translation of which is a tree that gives unsparingly.

어둠 속 안도의 한줄기 빛은 어디일까?
Where’s the ray of light to relieve me in the darkness?
고즈넉한 home? 아니면 저 먼 blue 일까?
Is it a tranquil home? Or the blue that is far, far away?
Note: HOME (“a tranquil, peaceful space of mine; yeah, I remember the time when I used to feel I could do everything”), Blue Side (“Inside my heart, comforting me now, Blue”)
Where’s my safe zone
왼쪽, 오른쪽, go straight?
Left, right, go straight?
What’s my safe zone
이곳? 저곳? or X?
Here, there, or X?

Here, there, or X?
.
믿어주는 사람들의 응원?
The cheers of people who believe in me?
(그들도 등을 돌리면 차갑고)
(But it’ll feel cold when even they turn their back on me)
날 이끈 people?
The people who’ve led me?
(잘 생각해 보면 두려워)
(But thinking carefully, I feel afraid)
피를 나눈 사람도
Even with someone who shares blood,
털어놓을 순 없는 사명감 [samyeonggam]
there’s a sense of mission that I can’t share
요즘은 사람보다 동물이 좋더라
These days, I tend to like animals over humans
But 느껴 자멸감 [jamyeolgam]
But I feel, a sense of self-despise
.
임종을 앞둔 노을 같아
It’s like a sunset about to draw its last breath,
(Shine, goes dark)
밤과 새벽을 달래줄 light
a light to comfort night and dawn
(Right, for mine)
Where’s that zone?
큰 재해도 피해 가는 나의 green zone
My green zone that even big disasters find a way around
Note: Reference – Green Zone, which used to be known as the safest area of Baghdad.
But 이 길을 선택하는 순간
But the moment I choose this path,
있기는 할까? 나의 safe zone
will it even exist? My safe zone
