참세상

cliche

? 작사/작곡
이상은 9집, [asian prescription] (1999) 수록

It's not that easy to be on my own
When I see the darkness suddenly wake up
She said this world is nothing but a shadow
For who do I wait now the orbit laughs at me

Why I'm becoming grown up like I hated
When I was young
I thought that I'd never hurt anyone but
How many people been wounded by my sword

I tried not to cry in the street
But there was someone trying to make me weep
When I take your hand with delights
I hope that no one breaks the circle down

This is my limit to push down the button
Who's gonna tell where I'm heading
This is my limit to breakdown my ego
Are you gonna leave me now?

I tried not to cry in the street
But there was someone trying to make me weep
When I take your hand with delights
I hope that no one breaks the circle down,

I've cloistered myself in this cliche
Who's gonna tell where I'm heading
Paradoxical illusion made of a lonely dream
Are you gonna leave me now

We both knew our enemy is reality
But who was "us" and who was "them"?
