take / lost in a crowd

Sometimes we turn into kids

Like we doodled on some lipstick and a beard

Get drunk on nostalgia over memories from not a week but ages ago and stop, please

 

I hope you feel okay tomorrow

Hey, why are you paying? Thanks

I come back to my room after a good laugh

But it’s like there’s a spell cast over it, why am I getting lost in thought again and

 

Turning so sincere, don’t want to waste this intoxication

So I use it to leave a missed call for my ex,

Hold a staring contest with the full moon and

Win, only then do I feel better

 

Even if you’d hurt me with your sharp words, I could’ve given you a soft hug, no, I want to give you a hug

Just with anyone

 

With a stranger and a stranger,

With night and day,

With a person and with love,

Lost in a crowd

T/N: The direct translation of this phrase is 'a meaningless feeling of loss', or when you feel a sense of loss for no reason at all. I've used 'lost in a crowd' though as that's the English translation of the title that they gave!

 

Think you kinda know them then you don’t

It’s so ironic, ah, some eye contact,

Bicker back and forth,

And then the relationship is over

Just left as a “something,” that’s life

On the cusp of when I should be thinking like an adult

All sorts of burdens pile on top of me like they were just waiting for this moment

To put it nicely, it makes me a maximalist

T/N: In this context I've translated it as 'nicely', but the word used here is '아이하게' which is the same word for 'kid', so contrasts with 'adult'

 

How can you tell me to stay strong when you aren’t?

Hey, you first

Cheers, and pour out everything I held in my eyes

Mixed meds with alcohol again and drank it today

An uncertain tomorrow is harder to swallow than a certain one

T/N: A nod to a line from 'Alarm'? "An unclear tomorrow makes me feel unsettled"

 

This is an expensive jacket, but I’m gonna freeze to death

Think I’m gonna go crazy over this meaningless feeling of loss

 

Won’t listen to what my head tells me to do

Act the way I want, give unfriendly looks

When a day full of rebelliousness sets,

Cover up with shame

 

Even if you’d hurt me with your sharp words, I could’ve given you a soft hug, no, hug me

Just with anyone

 

With a stranger and a stranger,

With night and day,

With a person and with love,

Lost in a crowd

 

Everyone leaves an empty space in the corner of their hearts

Puts me in it and locks it up

So it hurts and hurts and hurts

And hurts, it hurts

 

When I talk about being lost in a crowd

No one listens, no one understands, and they say

"I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I think I know"
