tokyo +

"[. . .]do i miss myself? do i miss your face? i don't know, life is a word that sometimes you cannot say and ash is a thing that someday we all should be, when tomorrow comes how different it's going to be? why do love and hate sound just the same to me? i can't sleep homesick babe i just wanna stay right next to you if i could choose my dream i just wanna stay right next to you"

seoul +

"this city's harmony, it’s so familiar to me, the days of my youth seem so far away and now it's full of buildings and cars but this is my home now, seoul, why do you sound like 'soul’? what kind of soul is it that you have? what holds me back by your side like this? i don't even have anything to reminisce about you i'm so sick of you now, that same old ashy face of yours every day, no, i'm afraid of myself 'cause i've already become a part of you, buses with changing landscapes even when i'm sitting still and similar buildings actually varying a little, scent of life that could be disgusting or not and the cold parks pretending to be warm, people who always have to wander and the han rivers that bear too much han and the swings that can't look at the sky on their own and the kids all grown up, and me who’s a little late, my friends often say they’ll leave i'm nodding but i can’t smile, i so hate to admit it, but i already love even your fumes and the nastiness, love the fishy smell of cheonggyecheon, love the lonesomeness of seonyudo, "it's a nice place to live if you have money" even that sigh of some taxi driver i love y'all, if love and hate are the same words, i love you seoul, if love and hate are the same words, i hate you seoul, i'm leavin’ you, i'm livin' you"

moonchild +

"we're born in the moonlight ain't no fantasy, can't breathe in the sunlight gotta hide your heart, we're born to be sad, suffer to be glad, c'mon y'all, moonchild, that's how it's supposed to be yeah all these pain and all these sorrows that's our destiny, see? you and my life was like this, we gotta dance in the rain dance in the pain, even though we crash down we gon dance in the plane, we need the scenery the night more than anybody, only i could console myself, not nobody else, it's okay to shed the tears but don't you tear yourself, moonchild you shine when moon rise, it's your time, c'mon on y'all moonchild don't cry[. . .]"

uhgood +

"all i need is me i know, all you need is you, you know, At times I'm disappointed with myself, honestly, i trample myself,"do you only amount to this?","need to do so much better", "you need to be so much cooler", "if you're going to be defeated, might as well die", "you have to win", to be out of place, it hurts so much, if you don't experience it, it cannot be known, my ideal and what is reality they're so far, far away, but i still want to cross that two bridges to reach myself, to the real me, but why do i feel lonely? i feel so lonely when i'm with me[. . .]"

everythin goes +

"it all passes, someday, for sure, certainly, everything goes, it passes, just like the night leaves and the morning comes, the spring leaves and summer comes, but just like the flower wilts and the fruit grows ripe everything needs to go through pain, embrace the world and suck in a breath that prickling air that fills up your lungs says everything, back when i wished to drink it in innumerable times, underneath those old times when i, a fool, grew dull, everyday i pray that i may become a slightly better adult and everyday i stay, since both people and pain will all die one day, if you want to become dull, you need to go out into the wind, because in dreams, things can’t last forever, instead of words like ‘cheer up’, instead of lies like ‘everyone is the same’ simply after staying like all this wind"

forever rain +

"i wish it rains all day cuz i’d like someone to cry for me, i wish it rains all day cuz then people wouldn’t stare at me, cuz the umbrella would cover the sad face, cuz in the rain people are busy minding themselves, gonna breathe a little slower cuz my life and my rap, they’re usually too fast, now everything goes back to its place, my shadow’s reflected on the sky, i’m standing on the darkness head down, to my heels, slow rap, slow jam, slow rain, everything slow, when it rains i get a little feeling that i do have a friend keeps knocking on my windows asks me if i’m doing well and i answer, i’m still a hostage of life, i don’t live because i can’t die but i’m chained to something, just like you if i could just knock on somewhere, if i could kiss the whole world so hard, would someone welcome me, maybe embrace my weary body? please don’t ask any questions but do keep pouring forever, i’m not lonely when you’re pouring, please stay by my side, wanna live in the ashy world, i know that there’s no forever, forever rain, pour on me"
