(Verse 1 - English)
The rain keeps falling, a rhythm to my pain
Washing away the colors, leaving shades of grey
I hide the scars beneath this fragile smile
Trying to forget for just a little while
Every step I take, a whisper from the past
A broken melody, too beautiful to last.
(Pre-Chorus - Korean)
차가운 바람이 불어와 (Chagaun barami bureowa - Cold wind blows in)
내 맘을 흔들어 놓아도 (Nae mameul heundeureo nohado - Even if it shakes my heart)
괜찮아, 이젠 익숙해 (Gwaenchanha, ijen iksukhae - It's okay, I'm used to it now)
이 어둠 속에 갇힌 채 (I eodum soge gathin chae - Trapped within this darkness)
(Chorus - Mixed)
Oh, my dark history like a shadow following me
숨길 수 없어, it won't let me be (Sumgil su eopseo - Can't hide it)
A black and white memory, 잊고 싶지만 (Itgo sipjiman - I want to forget, but)
The truth remains, 그게 나야 (Geuge naya - That is me)
My Shadow Melody, a painful lullaby.
(Verse 2 - Korean)
오래된 사진처럼 바래진 꿈들 (Oraedoen sajincheoreom baraejin kkumdeul - Dreams faded like old photographs)
다시 돌아갈 수 없는 그날의 아픔들 (Dasi doragal su eomneun geunarui apeumdeul - The pain of those days I can never return to)
밤하늘 별빛 아래 홀로 앉아 (Bamhaneul byeolbit arae hollo anja - Sitting alone under the night sky's starlight)
흐르는 눈물 감춰요, 조용히 (Heureuneun nunmul gamchwoyo, joyonghi - I hide the flowing tears, quietly)
(Pre-Chorus - English)
I'm building walls so high, no one can climb
Protecting what's left of this broken soul of mine
Maybe someday the sun will finally break through
And shed its light on everything I've been through.
(Chorus - Mixed)
Oh, my dark history like a shadow following me
숨길 수 없어, it won't let me be (Sumgil su eopseo - Can't hide it)
A black and white memory, 잊고 싶지만 (Itgo sipjiman - I want to forget, but)
The truth remains, 그게 나야 (Geuge naya - That is me)
My Shadow Melody, a painful lullaby.
(Bridge - Mixed/Korean Focus)
시간이 흘러도, the pain still lingers here
내 안에 깊숙이 박힌 두려움 (Nae ane gipsugi bakin duryeoum - The fear deeply embedded within me)
하지만 난 계속 걸어가 (Hajiman nan gyesok georeoga - But I keep walking)
새로운 시작을 꿈꾸며 (Saeroun sijageul kkumkkumyeo - Dreaming of a new beginning)
(Chorus - Mixed/Outro)
Oh, my dark history like a shadow following me
이제 놓아줄게, I'm letting it be (Ije nohajulge - Now I'll let it go)
A black and white memory, 잊지 않겠지만 (Itji anketjiman - I won't forget, but)
The future calls, 나를 봐 (Nareul bwa - Look at me)
This Shadow Melody... will turn to light one day.
(Fade out)
