정신없이 달리다 보니 어느새 여기까지 왔지 jeongsineopsi dallida boni eoneusae yeogikkaji watji Having ran so mindlessly, before I knew it, this was where I was
Yeah, hmm 발 밑에 그림자 고개 숙여보니 더 커졌잖아 Yeah, hmm bal mite geurimja gogae sugyeoboni deo keojyeotjanha Yeah, hmm shadows beneath my feet, I bow my head and they grow even bigger
도망쳐봤자 날 따라오는 저 빛과 비례하는 내 그림자 domangchyeobwatja nal ttaraoneun jeo bitgwa biryehaneun nae geurimja Even if I run away, my shadow which depends on that light follows me
두려워 높게 나는 게 난 무섭지 아무도 말 안 해줬잖아 duryeowo nopge naneun ge nan museopji amudo mal an haejwotjanha I’m afraid, I’m terrified of flying high, no one told me
여기가 얼마나 외로운지 말야 yeogiga eolmana oerounji marya How lonely it is here
나의 도약은 추락이 될 수 있단 걸 naui doyageun churagi doel su itdan geol My leap can turn into a fall

사람들은 뭐 말하지 저 빛 속은 찬란하네 saramdeureun mwo malhaji jeo bit sogeun chanranhane People say the inside of that light is splendid
근데 내 그림자는 되려 더 커져 나를 삼켜 괴물이 돼 geunde nae geurimjaneun doeryeo deo keojyeo nareul samkyeo goemuri dwae But it tries to become my shadow that grows bigger, it becomes a monster that swallows me

나의 바람대로 높게 날고 있는 순간 naui baramdaero nopge nalgo itneun sungan The moment I fly the way I want
저 내리쬐는 빛에 더 커진 그림자 jeo naerijjoeneun biche deo keojin geurimja The shadow that grows bigger in that beaming light
