lyrics / zico's 'human (사람)'

The same old, trivial day

I’ve managed to avoid all the good things

When I was younger, the adult-me I saw in the picture

Was definitely happy

 

If a life were to be, only until today

Could there be a place for it to turn back?

I held back saying ‘I love you’ for the excuse that it felt awkward

But I let you know right now

 

Lately, I keep hanging my head

When’s the last time I looked up at the sky?

The world’s become cloudy with dust

Because of humans like me scuffling around, yeah

We always say ‘later’, and for that ‘later’

If you count all the birthdays I’ve skipped, then I’m still just a teenager

As I become more mature, imagination suddenly seems scarier

Even a playground slide slowly starts to look like a slippery slope

 

Unfamiliar kindness makes me suspicious

Obvious consolations just drain me more

I wonder, inside that happy chat room

Are you really smiling?

I can’t afford to walk around everywhere carefree

Because there are too many things to avoid in these places

When we’re born, or when we grow old,

We live hunched over

 

The same old, trivial day

I’ve managed to avoid all the good things

When I was younger, the adult-me I saw in the picture

Was definitely happy

 

If a life were to be, only until today

Could there be a place for it to turn back?

I held back saying ‘I love you’ for the excuse that it felt awkward

But I let you know right now

 

Be careful, time will pick up speed at a scary pace

Be each other’s handlebar so you won’t fall

The only thing you can do on your own is to be disappointed

Unravel the bag of stories that you’ve piled up to the point of it bursting

Life doesn’t stop its clever tricks, uh

From the day you get your life for free, uh

Happiness is always buried by something else that’s supposed to come first

Finding a four-leaf clover in a colorful field of flowers

 

In case my bad intentions get caught

I get extra conscious of everyone around

Don’t worry, even if you’re lacking, someone

Will feel that sense of humanity

Before you can become a good person in the eyes of someone else,

You need to reconcile with yourself first

Everyone knows that it’s difficult

This is the first time you’re living your life, after all

 

The same old, trivial day

I’ve managed to avoid all the good things

When I was younger, the adult-me I saw in the picture

Was definitely happy

 

If a life were to be, only until today

Could there be a place for it to turn back?

I held back saying ‘I love you’ for the excuse that it felt awkward

But I let you know right now

 

We're the same

We're the same

We're the same people

Are you happy are you sad

Why is it so hard to be loved

We're the same

We're the same

We're the same people

Are you happy are you sad

We need love
