Integrate

each step towards growth
faces resistance from the world not to
like the resistance of air as you soar towards the sky,
you feel each part of your body pulled by gravity
but hold on.
if you withstand this pressure
you will reach your goal
you will enjoy freedom in the atmosphere
and you will find your strong self.

온 사지가 떨어져 나갈 것처럼
성장통이 다가 온다 한들
버텨야만한다. 그럼으로써
우린, 더욱더 강해질 것이다.

Hold on

there are so many things you would want to say
but
you knew you had to keep them in;
stoicism, inferiority complex, principle;
you name it. there’s enough reason to sacrifice
but one day, the words will start to bud
growing into a tree, feeding on imagination
and you may build the world
with the words you’ve kept in.

Supernova

blistering speed, gliding through vacuum
we elevate our senses to another level
is a speed of thought truly limited
by the speed of light?
then by all means, let us be light years ahead
don’t you feel it, the exhilarating joy
of this speed of thought,
this speed of exploration?
let us dance under the supernova
let us rejoice the birth of this universe.

Theoretical Needle

piercing through the focal point
we see through the future
what do we lose
for this great adventure of the past
woe is the ignorant
of the future marching down with thunder
I wonder
if we’ll survival this trip.

미래를 모르는 현재
과연 우리는 살아남을 수 있을까.
현재의 우리는
미래에 맞서 어떻게 살아남는가.

Hope

no more bitter sweetness
no more I-have-lived-it-all bullshit
yes to leap of faith
yes to deep dive into the unknown
and yes to willing to try
when I wake up tomorrow morning
I want to experience it
I want to live it
I want to get closer to my dream.

오늘 하루
내 꿈을 향해 다가가는 하루
내가 원하는 하루.

나이

어느새 눈을 떠 보니
나는 나이가 들어 있었다.
눈 가에는 검은 그림자가 드리누었고
이마에는 주름이 사막 들판처럼 쳐지고
처진 피부는 코끼리의 귀를 연상케 한다.
호우가 지난날 미친듯이 흐르는 강물처럼
정신없이 살고자 허우적대고 나니
물살이 잠잠해지던 어느날 아침의 나는
어느새 나이가 들어 있었다.
새벽을 깨는 해를 보면서
나는 새 하루를 맞이 하였다.

Looking ahead

I hope to keep my eyes towards a brighter future
keeping my head above the busy water
taking one step at a time progressively
making sure things are done the right way

I hope to bring goodness to the world
of course there will be obstacles
and it appears to be the general rule
plans often don’t work out its way

but I’d be happy to see a quiet sunset
from a hill where I’d see a better world
if I lay in shadows, not seeing before it rises
I hope to be content knowing we gave it all.

진인사 대천명이라고
좋은 세상이 만들어지기 위해
일하고 있다는걸 잊지 않았으면 한다.
물론 진화론적인면도 고려해야하지만.
