BAECHIGI - The Number Nine Lyrics (English & Romanized)

English Translation:

In this springtime of life, now I am twenty nine. I cry alone everyday saying goodbye

Could it be because I got old in vain, my heart keeps burning. I found out it’s a shortcut to live shitty
There was no need to blame selfish people, that is the wisdom of life
I am sick of watching other people succeed without anything achieved for myself
Why only me like this, I am like a rusty knife that wasted the time to live just like this
The swollen dream from childhood got chewed like bubble gum, popped, spitted and attached to the ground
My thoughts stopped at sixteen but people around me say when to get married
The deadline of my springtime that got to the end, it is not because of nine-bad-luck that it is not working so good
I just became old enough to know there’s no hope even though I try hard grabbing it

I always wanted it to spin beside me, the blue bird at one side of my heart
Soon it got faint with only the sweet part gone, the blur and faded color
I cry for the springtime that I cannot go back even though I live in regret
Without any words, the day is going away again

It’s like hit by a bomb, it is too heavy to embrace them all
Is this the weight of the age? I feel shame when I introduce myself as Lee Someone
Why? The fruits of results have been always bitter since there was nothing I had done
The excuse that I was too young already became a reason too common
I lived earnest, without any sin
But I am floundering, stumble at the threshold of the end of the springtime
I don’t want much, I just want the amount I strived, is this so hard
If I open my two hands like I am begging, do you count the real price of age

Do you think it is over when you go to university? No
Do you think it is over when you get a job? No
Do you think it is over when you get promoted? No
Do you think it is over when you get married? No
Eventually it is nothing
