lyrics

Seoul

떠나고 싶어, 떠나고 싶어
아무 실체도 없는 말을 무의미하게 반복하는 매일
거리는 죽은 눈동자들의 진열장
과거의 칼날이 손목위에 새기는 미래

썩은 물이 흐르는 곳으로
휩쓸려 뛰어드는 다리위의 군중
저 텅 빈 말들이, 따뜻함의 모조품이
조롱하며 농락하며

역겨워

하지만 해가 지면 욕망을 비추는 네온과 썩어가는 악취 사이로
우리는 춤을 춰  알코올과 타액에 익사해버리면 좋을 텐데
 밤 하늘 아래 목적이 없이 방황하는 텅 빈 눈동자들 안에서
춤추는 무지 배덕과 망각에 압사해버리면 좋을 텐데
 길 위에 나동그라져 있는 몸 하나 누구의 시선도 받지 않고 생존의 무게에 짓눌려 잊혀진 채

행복하고 싶어, 행복하고 싶어 빌딩숲 사이로 기어다니는 비참함들과 자살충동  썩은 물을 내려다 보면서
눈이 부신 도시와 그만큼 짙게 드리운 그림자

누군가의 삶이 끝나려 해
누군가는 보지 않으려 해
누군가는 그 나약함을 비난해

누군가는 떨어져  물 아래 쌓여 있는 몸들 여럿
누구의 시선도 받지 않고
이 도시에 무게에 짓눌려 잊혀진 채

Seoul

  I want to leave, I want to leave 
Every day, meaninglessly repeating the words without any substance 
The street is a showcase of dead pupils
The future that is being carved on the wrist by the blade of the past

To where the rotten water is flowing
A crowd on the bridge that are swept away and jumping

Those empty words, an imitation of warmth, are ridiculing and fooling
 It’s disgusting
 
But when the sun goes down
Between the neon illuminating desire and the rotting stench
We dance
It would be rather good to drown in alcohol and saliva

Under the night sky
Inside the empty eyes wandering purposelessly
Dancing ignorance
It would be rather good to be crushed to death by immorality and oblivion  

A body that is left out on the street 
Getting no one’s gaze and being forgotten, pressed down by the weight of survival

 I want to be happy, I want to be happy 
Miseries and suicide drive that are crawling among the forest of buildings  

Looking down at the rotten water
The dazzling city and the shadow casting deeper as much as the city dazzles

Someone’s life is about to end Someone is trying not to see
Someone is blaming the weakness

Someone falls  

Many bodies are stacked under the water
Getting no one’s gaze and being forgotten, pressed down by the weight of this city

I never liked the screaming vocals of black metal... HOWEVER, this album changed that. It's blackgaze with a touch of J-pop into it, and it's one of the most pleasent combination. The lyrics are disjointed and abstract but are meaningful, lots to deconstruct here. Sudis___
