VERSE 1
며칠 전 꿈이었어
난 교복을 입고 집으로 가는 중이었어
아마도 15년 전쯤?
나와 제일 친했던 친구 두 녀석
아까 학교에서 선생님과
아주 잠깐 상담했었던 장래희망 얘기
경찰이 될 거라며 착하게 살라 겁을 주는 친구
또 다른 놈의 꿈은 건물주
내 입꼬리가 기울었지
무슨 꿈이 건물주냐고 난 비웃었지
그때 잠에서 깨 울리는 전화벨
이번 달에는 월세를 제 날짜에 좀 넣어달래
전화를 끊고, 메시지 확인
나의 친구들 어제도 회식 세시까지
어차피 회사원이 될 거 왜 몰랐을까?
우린 꿈이란 걸 향해 가긴 갔을까?
CHORUS
아무도 몰라 어떻게 흘러가는 지
아무도 몰라 어디로 흘러가는 지
But we dreamer
Yes, we dreamer
We make the world go around
VERSE 2
어젯밤 꿈이었어
염색한 머리 집으로 돌아가는 중이었어
아마도 10년 전쯤?
대학 새내기, 지하철, 술 냄새가 느껴져
오늘은 신입생 환영 MT 뒤풀이
술자리 게임, 이게 대학생이란 기분이 들었어
미팅에서 만난 이쁜이와
주고 받는 문자 속에 느낀 이끌림
빨개진 뺨, 조금은 고지식한 그녀의 문자
“너는 꿈이 뭐야?”
오글대는 손, 그때 꿈에서 깨
멍하니 누워서, 그 문자를 되뇌었네
그땐 왜 그렇게, 간지럽게 느껴지기만 했던 말이
지금 이리도 간절하게 다가오는지
내 꿈은 뭐였을까
가진 게 시간 밖에 없던 난 왜 그걸 다 버렸을까?
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
가진 건 시간밖에 없었던 때는 지나고
그 시간은 다 없어졌네
이젠 일상이 돼버린 시간 없단 핑계
모두 24/7 다 똑같은데 뭘
스케줄러를 써도, 알람을 맞춰도
다이어릴 써도, 결국 해는 서쪽으로 져
그리고 다시 떠, 다른 건
누군 그 해를 반기고 누군 싫어한다는 거
매일을 시작하는 게 재밌어 죽겠는
그런 사람과 경쟁하면 넌 한 여름의 대구
열 받지, 한국에서 제일 뜨겁게
1년만에 본 친군 너보고 엄청 늙었대
뭐가 다르냐면, 꿈
매일 밤 스쳐가도 간직하긴 어려운 보물
너의 오늘을 되돌아 봐, 욕만 할 뿐
그저 살아가는 척만 할 뿐
니가 사는 게 아니지
그저 살아가는 척만 할 뿐
니가 사는 게 아니지
니가 사는 것처럼 보일 뿐
꿈꾸는 사람들이, 세상을 굴린다
그게 너가 될 수 있을까?
울지 마
?
[Translated Lyric]
VERSE 1
It was a dream from a few days ago
I was on my way home wearing my school uniform
Probably 15 years ago?
I was with two of my closest friends
The brief talk I had with my teacher at school earlier about my hopes for the future
My friend would joke around about how I should live as a law-abiding citizen since he’s going to become a cop
The other kid said his dream was to become a landlord
The corners of my lips went up and I laughed at him, saying what kind of dream is becoming a landlord
Then I woke up from the blaring ringtone of my phone
The landlord said to pay the rent on time this month
After hanging up the phone, I check my messages
My friends were out till 3AM yesterday for a get-together
Why did they not know that they too would become a corporate worker?
Did we even go in the direction of our dreams?
CHORUS
No one knows how things flow
No one knows where it flows
But we dreamer
Yes, we dreamer
We make the world go around
VERSE 2
Last night, I had a dream
I was walking back home, with my dying hair
Probably 10 years ago?
I was a freshman in college and I can sense the smell of alcohol in the subway
Today is the after party of the freshman orientation MT
In the games involving alcohol, I felt the sense that this was what it was like to be a college student
The pulling sense of feeling felt in the text messages sent and received with the cutie from the group blind date
My cheeks blushing red, and her adamant text message asking, “What’s your dream?”
My fingers are curling from the clich? of the situation and that’s when I wake up from my dreams
I lay down dazing off and repeat the text message over and over inside my head
Why did that question bring such a skin-crawling feeling then?
But why is that question hitting me hard now?
What was my dream? And for a person who only had time, why did I throw everything away?
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
The days of only having time passed and now I don’t have that same amount of time
Now it’s become a daily routine to make excuses saying I don’t have time
But every day 24/7 is still all the same to me
Even if I write down on my planner, set my alarms, and write in my diary, the sun sets in the west
And then it rises again; if there’s a difference, someone will cheerfully greet the sun while someone will hate it
If you rival against someone who really enjoys starting their day, then you’re in Daegu City in the heat of the summer
You’ll probably boil in anger, the hottest in Korea
Your friend who hasn’t seen you for a year said you aged quite a lot
What’s different is the dream
No matter how much it passes by you every night, it’s a jewel that’s hard to keep
Look over your day today and all you’ll be doing is cursing
You’re just pretending to live and you’re not actually living
You’re just pretending to live and you’re not actually living
You’re just appearing to live to others
Those who dream make the world go around - will you be able to become one of them?
Don’t cry
