아른대는 Something
떠나고픈 Feeling
거울 속엔 지친 My face
길 잃은 맘의 갈피
반복되는 Trouble
다른 게 좀 필요해
미룰 수 없잖아
‘Cause Life’s Too Short
망설이다 흘러가
무슨 일이 벌어질까 궁금해
훌쩍 떠난 그 순간
내 방식대로 갈래
And I don’t care
What you say about it
어차피 둘 중 하나
Do it or not
꿈꿔온 어딘가로
Why would I ever stop?
단순하게 갈래
No, I don’t care
What you say about it
걸음이 닿는 대로
Way that I want
거기가 어디라도
Why would I ever stop?
나만 아는 Story
혼자만의 Posting
꾸며볼래 All my life
머물고픈 순간 속에
영원할 내 모습
남겨둘래 All this time
두려워하지 마
‘Cause Life’s Too Short
후회 없이 걸어가
때론 비가 쏟아져도
I don’t care
쉬어갈 수 있는 걸
내 방식대로 갈래
And I don’t care
What you say about it
어차피 둘 중 하나
Do it or not
꿈꿔온 어딘가로
Why would I ever stop?
단순하게 갈래
No, I don’t care
What you say about it
걸음이 닿는 대로
Way that I want
거기가 어디라도
Why would I ever stop?
내 방식대로 갈래
단순하게 갈래
Why would I ever stop?
더 멋진 오늘이 곁에 있는 걸
So why are you wasting your time?
단 한 걸음으로 달라진
하룬 눈부시게 변해가
더 자유롭길 바래
수없이 펼쳐질 모든 날이
인생은 한 번인 걸
Do it right now
더 빛날 세상으로
Why would I ever stop?
늦기 전에 갈래
시간을 멈출 순 없을 테니
때로는 서툴러도
Way that I want
거기가 어디라도
Why would I ever stop?
내 방식대로 갈래
(Life’s Too Short)
단순하게 갈래
(Life’s Too Short)
Why would I ever stop?
더 자유롭길 바래
늦기 전에 갈래
Embracing Individuality and Living in the Moment
“Life’s Too Short” by aespa is a vibrant declaration of self-worth and personal freedom. The lyrics highlight the importance of living authentically, unburdened by others’ opinions or societal expectations.

The recurring message is clear: seize the present, embrace your unique journey, and don’t waste time doubting yourself. Even when faced with uncertainty or setbacks, the song encourages listeners to persist and shine, transforming every day into an opportunity for self-expression and growth.
