[Intro instrumental]
(Crazy games music...)
[Verse 1]
There once was a man
Who dreamed of something new,
He worked day and night
오, 그는 끝까지 했지 (Oh, geuneun kkeutkkaji haetji)
To make it all come true.
He built a world, a doorway wide,
오, 그 문은 열렸지 (Oh, geu muneun yeollyeotji)
But darkness crept inside.
A marvel bright, a shining show,
But shadows grew where light won’t glow.
[Chorus]
He wouldn’t speak about it,
그는 아무 말도 안 해 (Geuneun amu maldo an hae)
And I was lost without it,
Couldn’t see.
I gave my life into it,
모든 걸 다 바쳤네 (Modeun geol da bachyeotne)
But now I see the cracks split,
Set me free.
[Pre-Chorus]
So close to him,
But far from me,
나를 잃어버렸지 (Nareul ilheobeoryeotji)
In what could be.
[Verse 2]
Talk, talk, the dream feels fake,
Before this world begins to break.
Talk, talk, I was blind, it’s true,
"너처럼 살고 싶었어" (Neocheoreom salgo sipeosseo)
But now I see the game he made,
"괜찮아? 다 괜찮아?" (Gwaenchanha? Da gwaenchanha?)
Who's alright in this charade?
[Bridge]
There once was a man
With a vision so bright,
그는 별을 쥐었지 (Geuneun byeoreul jwieotji)
But stole away the light.
A golden cage, a hollow throne,
오, 그는 날 속였지 (Oh, geuneun nal sogyeotji)
And left us here alone.
A triumph sung, a dream so loud,
But truth was hidden in the crowd.
[Chorus]
He wouldn’t speak about it,
그는 진실을 가려 (Geuneun jinsireul garyeo)
And I was lost without it,
Couldn’t see.
I gave my life into it,
내 모든 걸 다 걸어 (Nae modeun geol da georeo)
But now I see the cracks split,
Set me free.
[Pre-Chorus]
So close to him,
But far from me,
나를 잃어버렸지 (Nareul ilheobeoryeotji)
In what could be.
[Verse 3]
Talk, talk, the echoes fade,
The truth is sharp like a blade.
Talk, talk, I was blind to say,
"너처럼 되고 싶었네" (Neocheoreom doego sipeotne)
But now I’m trapped in a golden cage,
"괜찮아? 이게 맞아?" (Gwaenchanha? Ige maja?)
Who’s alright in this cruel stage?
[Outro]
There once was a man,
Who reached for the sky,
그는 날개를 펴고 (Geuneun nalgaereul pyeogo)
But left us to cry.
We built his world, we paid the toll,
이제 나를 찾아 (Ije nareul chaja)
To once again be whole.
