How pretty the moon is
Written by Seung-Yoon Lee

If tens of thousands of things shining in the night sky
are the remains of a planet that has been dead,
Instead of raising my head and paying tribute,
I will bow down and pick up a handful of dirt.
My room is full of the people I loved -
Those who are shining in the frames.
Rather than leaving my name somewhere after death
I want to sing their names one more time while living.
Great formulas line up in the vast spacetime.
On it, I engrave a short sentence from time to time.
You and I, a few names and a couple of thoughts.
I can’t row for eternity,
But I can write a song that lasts for a few minutes.
So I will gather the ripples of ten thousand light years,
And sing you a song of the present
How pretty the moon is.
I’ll be the attic when you want to hide.
I’ll be the abysm when you want to die.
I’ll waste all the time as much as you want to cry.
Let’s play masquerade when truth is too much to bear.
I don’t want to leave my footsteps on the moon.
I just want to walk in step with you
Even at the bottom of the sea where the anchor can’t reach.
I can’t row for eternity,
But I can write a song that lasts for a few minutes.
So I will gather the ripples of ten thousand light years,
And sing you a song of the present
How pretty the moon is.

그토록 찾아 헤맨 사람을 만난 것 같아
아마도 나의 영웅이야
어쩌면 저렇게도 올곧고 위대한 건지
끝까지 나는 따를 거야
다만 내가 원할 말만 영원히 하면 돼
걸음걸이도 한치도 어긋나지만 않으면 돼
나의 진열장에 놓을 영웅이야 손대지 마
이런 조금 바랜 흔적이 있잖아 부숴도 좋아
이제야 찾아 헤맨 사람을 만난 것 같아
마지막 나의 영웅이야
원하지 않는대도 어쩔 수가 없는 거야
시대가 원하고 있잖아
표정과 말투 하나까지 이유가 있을 걸
잠꼬대와 죽음까지 모두 상징일 거야
나의 진열장에 놓을 영웅이야 손대지마
이런 조금 바랜 흔적이 있잖아 부숴도 좋아
우릴 위해서 부서진
영웅을 위해 묵념 한번 하고선
관짝을 뜯어서 깃발을 만들어
힘껏 흔들며 승리의 축배를
무덤 위에다 조금 쏟아부으면 다 완성이야
(전설이 탄생했단 걸
우리에게 감사해야 할 걸 너는 그냥
왕관을 쓰고나서 무덤 아래서
잠이나 자면 될 거야)
아무런 의미 없는 널
완성 시켜 놓아 준 건
나니까 전리품은 전부 내 진열장에다
네 자리는 없어 너는 거기까지야
그러게 흠집 없이 완벽하지 그랬어
나의 진열장에 놓을 영웅이야 손대지마
이런 조금 바랜 흔적이 있잖아 부숴도 좋아

Lyrics
I think I met someone who was looking for so much
Maybe my hero
Maybe it’s such an upright and great thing
I'll follow until the end
I just have to say what I want forever
All you have to do is not deviate a step or an inch
He's a hero to put on my showcase, don't touch it
There are some faded marks like this, it's okay to break it
I think I've met a man who was just looking for it
You are my last hero
Even if you don't want it, you can't help it
The times want it
There must be a reason even the expression and the way of speaking
Both drool and death will be symbols
He's a hero to put on my showcase, don't touch it
There are some faded marks like this, it's okay to break it
Broken for us
Once silent for the hero
Open the crown and make a flag
I waved hard and said a toast of victory
Pour a little over the tomb and it's all complete
(The legend was born
You should be grateful to us, you just
Under the tomb after wearing the crown
You just need to sleep)
You mean nothing
What I've done
Because I am, all the loot is in my showcase.
There's no place for you, you're there
It was so flawless and perfect
He's a hero to put on my showcase, don't touch it
There are some faded marks like this, it's okay to break it
