[Korean:]
또 져버린 것 같아
넌 화가 나 보여
아른대는 game over over over
만약 게임이라면
또 load하면 되겠지만
I guess I gotta deal with this
Deal with this
Real world
차라리 게임이면 좋겠지
너무 아프니까
I need to heal my medic
But I’m another star
완벽하지 못했던 나를 탓해
Brake in my head
Brake in my step always
그저 잘하고 싶었고
웃게 해주고 싶었는데 damn
Please give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 할 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야 해
날 살려줘 다시 기회를 줘
Please give me a
A remedy a melody
오직 내게만 남겨질 그 memory
이쯤에서 그만하면
꺼버리면 모든 게 다 편해질까
괜찮지만 괜찮지 않아
익숙하다고 혼잣말했지만
늘 처음인 것처럼 아파
부족한 gamer
맞아 날 control 못하지
계속 아파 ’cause
시행착오와 오만 가지
내 노래 가사 몸짓 하나
말 한마디 다
내 미시감에 무서워지고
또 늘 도망가려 해
But 잡네 그래도 네가
내 그림자는 커져가도
내 삶과 넌 equal sign
So 내 remedy는 your remedy
Please give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 할 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야 해
날 살려줘 다시 기회를 줘
Please give me a
Remedy
또 다시 뛰고 또 넘어지고
Honestly
수없이 반복된대도
난 또 뛸 거라고
So give me a remedy
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 할 remedy
이제 어떻게 해야 해
날 살려줘 다시 기회를 줘
Please give me a remedy
성공인가 돌아왔어
멈춰버린 심장을 뛰게 할 remedy
집중해서 꼭 네게 닿고 말겠어
떨어지고 넘어지고
이제 어떻게 해야 해
익숙한 아픔이 똑같이 날 덮쳐
날 살려줘
이번에도 쉽지 않아
다시 기회를 줘
관둘 거냐고 no no never
I won’t give up
[English translation:]
I think I lost again
You look like you’re mad
In a blur, game over over over
If this was a game
I could load it again
I guess I gotta deal with this, deal with this
Real world
It’d be better if it was a game
Because it hurts so much
I need to heal my medic
But I’m another star
Blame me because I’m imperfect
Brake in my head, brake in my step, always
All I wanted was to do well
I wanted to make you smile… damn
Please give me a remedy
A remedy that will make my heart beat again
What should I do now
Please save me, give me another chance
Please give me a
A remedy, a melody
A memory that’s left behind just for me
If I stop right now
If I just turn it off, will everything will be more comfortable?
I’m OK but I’m not OK
I told myself I was used to it
It always hurts like it’s the first time
Not a good gamer, that’s right, you can’t control me
I keep hurting ’cause of my repeated mistakes and 50 thousand other things
My song lyrics, each gesture
Every word become afraid of my jamais vu
Again, I try to escape
But still, you grab me
My shadow becomes bigger
My life and you, equal sign
So my remedy is your remedy
Please give me a remedy
A remedy that will make my heart beat again
What should I do now
Please save me, give me another chance
Please give me a
(Remedy)
Running again, stumble again
(Honestly)
Even if it repeats endlessly
I’ll keep running
So give me a remedy
A remedy that will make my heart beat again
What should I do now
Please save me, give me another chance
Please give me a remedy
(Is this success? I’ve returned)
A remedy that will make my heart beat again
(I’ll concentrate on reaching you no matter what, falling, stumbling)
What should I do now?
(This familiar pain crashes over me again)
Save me
(It’s not easy this time either)
Please give me another chance
(Will I give up? No, no never)
I won’t give up
Exploring the Emotional Depth of “Jamais Vu”
