[Instrumental Intro – dark piano, low sub bass, ambient city noise]
...
[Verse 1 – piano, minimal trap drums]
I keep going even when I’m breaking
웃고 있지만 속은 shaking
빛나는 도시 위에 서 있지만
I’m still lost in what I’m chasing
Everything’s a blur but I’m in the past
시간은 빠른데 난 거기서 멈춰
어제의 나를 아직도 못 놔
And I don’t know how long this lasts
[Pre-Chorus – ambient synth swell, light percussion]
너는 말해 괜찮다고
But I don’t feel it anymore
모든 게 다 손에 있어도
Why do I still feel so poor
[Chorus – soft drums, layered vocals]
I’m still here in the velvet static
모든 게 다 automatic
웃고 있지만 it’s tragic
We’re just ghosts in the attic
I keep going even when I’m breaking
Everything I built feels vacant
Even if the lights are flashing
I’m alone in the mansion
[Instrumental Break – deep bass pulse, distant vocal chop]
...
[Verse 2 – heavier 808, sharp hi hats]
성공은 내 이름을 불러
But it don’t call me home
다들 날 원해 무대 위에서
But I stand there alone
Wine glass shaking in my hand
불빛 속에 비친 내 face
모든 걸 가졌다고 말해도
I still feel out of place
[Rap Verse – deep 808, restrained beat]
Yeah
Luxury pain in designer shoes
High-rise views but I can’t choose
Between who I am and who I lose
Every win just makes the news
나는 강한 척 또 버텨
속은 이미 다 부서져
말 안 해도 다 알겠지
Pride won’t let me say I’m hurt
Everything’s loud but my mind’s quiet
Too many people, I still feel private
If this is living at the highest
Why does it feel like I’m silent
[Pre-Chorus – drums drop, ambient pad]
어릴 땐 다 쉬웠는데
Why’s it hard to stay the same
사랑도 우정도
Now it feels like a game
[Build – rising synth, snare taps]
Don’t wake me
Don’t shake me
Let me stay
[Bass Drop – distorted sub bass, cinematic synth lead]
...
[Chorus – fuller, layered vocals]
I’m still here in the velvet static
시간은 still dramatic
웃고 있지만 it’s tragic
We’re just ghosts in the attic
I keep going even when I’m breaking
과거 속에 still escaping
Even when the world keeps changing
I’m still eighteen, just faking
[Bridge – piano only, soft vocal]
어쩌면 다 성장이라서
This is what it costs
어른이 된다는 건
Learning what you lost
[Final Chorus – layered harmonies, subtle lift]
I’m still here in the velvet static
Even when it gets erratic
모든 게 다 automatic
But I’m human, not elastic
[Outro – piano fade, ambient city noise]
