That's too bad that Tablo's great accomplishment had shade thrown on it like that. I don't get why it's so hard for someone to just let go of stuff like that. I don't know if it's resentment or a misplaced sense of righteousness or what. But, to get a masters in less time than the vast majority of people use to get a bachelors is an impressive feat. The fact that Epik High's light stick is literally a giant, pulsating middle finger is in and of itself... epic.

Of course!!! I keep forgetting that...and here ..I types them out. U fill up my mind 24/7 I stay up all night, I can't even rest You seem to be fine The way that you smile it's giving me a heartache cause I should be the one protecting it All I need is U, U, U and I in a verse to tune the skies When it's dark I push the sun to rise and pull the moon aside I'ma do it or die, dip my pen in paint to paint you better days My heart was in a cage, you let it go astray Tears aim at my memories The moments I've passed bloom I'm still stuck in that time Going back to U All I want is you In every fleeting scene of my life's montage, I'm with U Now I miss U You're just one person, but I lost everything, what should I do I can't put it into words, no matter how I try This place is a forest without trees This isn't living, I'm just barely holding on My life, my love is U I'm still into U, baby All I want is Tears aim at my memories The moments I've passed bloom I'm still stuck in that time Going back to It's an inescapable game Even when I close my eyes, it's U The exhausting separation anxiety , this fear of people There's no cure for me I'm forgetting you every day, but it ain't easy Baby I need U U to stay with me, stay with me Going back to U No one else but U No one else but After all the wandering to forget in the end Going back to U All I want is U You know that I'd die, that I'd die for U You know that I'd die, that I'd die for U I would die without U

Felix really seems to have found his stride musically. I think a lot of it has to do with his confidence, and 3Racha finding new ways to use his voice and get him to push himself. The original films were referred to as magic lanterns, so that makes the most sense. Tablo is an extremely intelligent person. He managed to get his Bachelor's Degree in English literature and a Master's Degree in creative writing in three and a half years at Stanford University. Unfortunately, there were a group of antis (called TaJinYo lead by a 57 year old Korean-American, who is now feeling persecuted because the police are after him and doesn't see how what he did is a crime) that decided that this was impossible and spent years harassing him and accusing him of being a fraud. Even after the university registrar produced the documentation on camera, and the Korean police conducted an investigation and cleared him. People were arrested and sued, but the group is still going strong. You know the saying; Those who want to believe need no proof, those that don't want to believe, no proof is enough... https://stanfordmag.org/contents/the-persecution-of-daniel-lee He ended up becoming a recluse after he and his whole family received death threats. His daughter Haru was born during this. She is a massive STAY. 😁 In the interview that Chan and Han did, they talked about her.

The Nemo album version has the lyrics, which I would assume are correctly translated. I will try to get around to typing them out some time.

Happy to help how I can. I am not fluent and do reach out to native speakers for insight regularly, but I am always grateful to the people who do the lyric videos. I don't envy the challenge of deciding what should be translated versus what should be interpreted.

Wow that was so helpful! I do appreciate how hard it is to translate (especially lyrics or poetry). And yes, we know that all these colour coded videos have mistakes in the line distribution (thank you, Chan).

Katja van den Berg

your name here did a great job clearing some of the lines up. Translations are hard.

Thank you so much with the help on the translations. Very detailed explanations. Awesome.

8:06 The first section with the Tablo/Changbin highlight is incorrect, it's only Tablo. All the other highlighted sections with Tablo are correct. 11:15 "Tears aim at my memories" could be translated to merely "Wounded by painful memories", but the poetry does get lost and the imagery of someone crying helps lift the imagery of the second line below. Also using aim, which specifically in this case refers "to target", would indicate that the tears aren't just welling up, but are like an attack. 11:16 "The moment that passed blooms" is a sort of mistranslation. It probably would make more sense to say "The past moment that I peer" - specifically using peer as having to squint at or having difficulty seeing clearly - either through the tears or not wanting to look directly at the painful past. I think they are confusing ν”Όμ–΄ (to peer) with ν”Όμ–΄λ‚˜ (to bloom). However, it still metaphorically makes sense because while you are crying, that sorrow radiates (blooms) throughout your vision literally with tear-filled eyes, and figuratively, with an aching heart. 13:31 "Flashing lanterns" is a mistranslation but the intention is correct, it's like quickly moving scenes (like that of a film) that are flashing in your mind - memories, fantasies, imagination.

I have a feeling some of the lyrics were really off here, but my Korean is still in the very early stages and so I have no idea what it should be. In other translations, for example, I don't even see flashing langer . Anyway, I like this song a lot. It's mellow, yet the bpm is quite high. Interesting experience to listen to this.
