A quarter life, 누군가가 나의 나이를 부르는 말
A quarter life, a name someone calls my age
사분의 일쯤 걸어온 긴긴 터널, 너무 긴긴 터널
A long, long tunnel I've walked for a quarter of my life, so very long
좋을때래 아름다운 청춘은 지금뿐이래
They say beautiful youth is only now when it's good
힘들기만 한데, I ain't happy at all, I ain't happy at all
It's just so tough, I ain't happy at all, I ain't happy at all
혹시 어두운 이 터널에도 끝은 있을까?
Is there an end in this dark tunnel, I wonder?
소리쳐도 메아리뿐이야
Even when I shout, it's just an echo
어디로 가야 하는 건데?
Where should I go?
답이 없는 참견 사이에
In the meddling with no answers
Lonely, 홀로 남겨진 채
Lonely, left all alone
제자리를 걷는 듯해, quarter life crisis
Feels like I'm walking in place, quarter life crisis
출구 없이 던져진 삶에
In a life thrown without a way out
끝을 모르겠는 이 길에
On this path where I don't know the end
매일이 너무나 막막해
Every day feels just so overwhelming
제자리를 걷는 듯해, quarter life crisis
Feels like I'm walking in place, quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Quarter life crisis
Quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Quarter life crisis
Quarter life crisis
Don't wanna say
Don't wanna say
아무리 나 힘들어도, don't wanna say
No matter how much I'm struggling, don't wanna say
이번 생은 망했다고, I messed it up
This life is a mess, I messed it up
Won't say, "I messed it up", no
Won't say, 'I messed it up,' no
어쩜 지금이 제일 깜깜한 지점일지 몰라
Maybe this is the darkest point right now
지금 멈춰 서지는 말자
Let's not stop here
어디로 가야 하는 건지?
Where should I go?
모르겠지만 걷는 거지
I don't know, but I keep walking
당장은 좀 깜깜해도
Even if it's a bit dark for now
헤매듯 헤쳐 나가 quarter life crisis
Navigating through it like I'm lost, quarter life crisis
Don't look back, 돌아갈 순 없지
Don't look back, can't go back now
어른이란 건 어쩜 사실
Being an adult might just be
정답이 꼭 없는 답지
A right answer with no right answer
헤매듯 헤쳐 나가 quarter life crisis
Navigating through it like I'm lost, quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Quarter life crisis
Quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Quarter life crisis
Quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Quarter life crisis
Quarter life crisis
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
헤매듯 헤쳐 나가 quarter life crisis
Navigating through it like I'm lost, quarter life crisis
어디로 가야 하는 건지?
Where should I go?
모르겠지만 걷는 거지
I don't know, but I keep walking
당장은 좀 깜깜해도
Even if it's a bit dark for now
헤매듯 헤쳐 나가 quarter life crisis
Navigating through it like I'm lost, quarter life crisis
