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.

Gratitude

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto

who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude

오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

New beginning

it’s yet another fresh start,
full of unknowns.
a whirlpool of butterflies in the heart,
ghosts of olden memories groans.

true to it all along
the unconscious calling
atoned for deeds gone wrong
now rising to face challenges

I pray this path will be the way
the way of becoming
what is true to all that is laid
the road to the living

새로운 시작을 맞이한다.
초심을 잃지 아니하며
이 길이 먼 훗날
떳떳한 길이 되길 바라며

Rumble

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste

surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.

if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)

살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.
