Lyrics

Korean
Yo "나는 누구인가?" 평생 물어온 질문 아마 평생 정답은 찾지 못할 그 질문 나란 놈을 고작 말 몇 개로 답할 수 있었다면 신께서 그 수많은 아름다움을 다 만드시진 않았겠지 How you feel? 지금 기분이 어때? 사실 난 너무 좋아 근데 조금 불편해 나는 내가 개인지 돼진지 뭔지도 아직 잘 모르겠는데 남들이 와서 진주목걸일 거네 칵 퉤 예전보단 자주 웃어 소원했던 superhero 이젠 진짜 된 것 같어 근데 갈수록 뭔 말들이 많어 누군 달리라고 누군 멈춰서라 해 얘는 숲을 보라고 걔는 들꽃을 보라 해 내 그림자 나는 망설임이라 쓰고 불렀네 걘 그게 되고 나서 망설인 적이 없었네 무대 아래든 아님 조명 아래든 자꾸 나타나 아지랑이처럼 뜨겁게 자꾸 날 노려보네 oh shit 야 이 짓을 왜 시작한 건지 벌써 잊었냐 넌 그냥 들어주는 누가 있단 게 막 좋았던 거야 가끔은 그냥 싹 다 헛소리 같아 취하면 나오는 거 알지 취기 같아 나 따위가 무슨 music 나 따위가 무슨 truth 나 따위가 무슨 소명 나 따위가 무슨 muse 내가 아는 나의 흠 어쩜 그게 사실 내 전부 세상은 사실 아무 관심 없어 나의 서툼 이제 질리지도 않는 후회들과 매일 밤 징그럽게 뒹굴고 돌릴 길 없는 시간들을 습관처럼 비틀어도 그때마다 날 또 일으켜 세운 것 최초의 질문 내 이름 석 자 그 가장 앞에 와야 할 but So I'm askin' once again, yeah Who the hell am I? Tell me all your names baby Do you wanna die? Oh, do you wanna go? Do you wanna fly? Where's your soul? Where's your dream? Do you think you're alive? Ah, shit I don't know man But I know one thing Yeah, my name is R 내가 기억하고 사람들이 아는 나 날 토로하기 위해 내가 스스로 만들어낸 나 Yeah 난 날 속여왔을지도 뻥쳐왔을지도 but 부끄럽지 않아 이게 내 영혼의 지도 Dear myself, 넌 절대로 너의 온도를 잃지 마 따뜻히도 차갑게도 될 필요 없으니까 가끔은 위선적이어도 위악적이어도 이게 내가 걸어두고 싶은 내 방향의 척도 내가 되고 싶은 나 사람들이 원하는 나 니가 사랑하는 나 또 내가 빚어내는 나 웃고 있는 나 가끔은 울고 있는 나 지금도 매분 매순간 살아 숨쉬는 Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you All the voices 'til I die I just wanna give you All the shoulders when you cry Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you All the voices 'til I die I just wanna give you All the shoulders when you cry

English
Yo "Who am I?" The question I had my whole life The question which I probably won’t find an answer to my whole life If I were answerable with a few more words Then God wouldn’t have created all these various beauties How you feel? How’re you feeling right now? Actually I’m real good but a little uncomfortable I'm still not so sure if I'm a dog or a pig or what else But then other people come out and put the pearl necklace on me Ptui! I laugh more than I did before I dreamt of becoming a superhero Now it feels like I really became one But as it goes on there’s so much blabbering One says, "Run" another says, "Stop" This one says, "Look at the forest" that one says, "Look at the wild flower" My shadow, I wrote and called it hesitation It has never hesitated after becoming that It keeps appearing under the stage or the light Keeps glaring at me scorchingly like a heat wave (Oh shit) Hey, have you already forgotten why you even started this You were just digging it that someone was listening Sometimes everything sounds like freakin' nonsense You know what comes out of you when you're drunk.. like immaturity Someone like me ain't good enough for music Someone like me ain't good enough for the truth Someone like me ain't good enough for a calling Someone like me ain't good enough to be a muse The flaws of mine that I know Maybe that's all I've got really The world is actually not interested in my clumsiness at all The regrets that I don't even get sick of anymore I tumble with them every night until I'm disgusted And twist the irreversible time habitually There's something that raised me up again every time The first question The three syllables of my name and the word 'but' that should come before any of those So I'm askin' once again, yeah Who the hell am I? Tell me all your names baby Do you wanna die? Oh, do you wanna go? Do you wanna fly? Where's your soul? Where's your dream? Do you think you're alive? Ah, shit I don't know man But I know one thing Yeah, my name is R The 'me' that I remember and people know The 'me' that I created myself to vent out Yeah maybe I have been deceiving myself Maybe I've been lying But I'm not embarrassed anymore this is the map of my soul Dear myself You must never lose your temperature Cuz you don't need to be neither warm nor cold Though I might sometimes be hypocritical or pretend to be evil This is the barometer of my direction I want to keep The 'me' that I want myself to be The 'me' that people want me to be The 'me' that you love And the 'me' that I create The 'me' that's smiling The me that's sometimes in tears Vividly breathing each second and every moment even now Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you All the voices 'til I die I just wanna give you All the shoulders when you cry Persona Who the hell am I? I just wanna go I just wanna fly I just wanna give you All the voices 'til I die I just wanna give you All the shoulders when you cry
