Lover
태원 (Tae.1) Lyrics

It's that summer of the evening
The warm and inviting atmosphere of summer evenings

Get ready and roll the cassette
Prepare for a good time by playing music

There's boys outside preaching genocide
There are hateful and violent individuals spreading dangerous ideas

And trying to think up some sort of threat
They are trying to come up with ways to intimidate and scare others

And the ladies in the cloakroom
Women in the bathroom are focused on their own business

Take no notice of me
They are not paying attention to me and my problems

I wish myself was back at home
I am feeling homesick and uncomfortable in this environment

But there's nothing safe in watching tv
Even staying at home and watching TV cannot entirely keep me safe from the world's dangers

There's something born tomorrow
There is an unknown future ahead

That I lost when I was out for a drink
I missed out on something important while I was drinking

How many gangs is it gonna take
How much violence and aggression is necessary

To change the way I think
To influence my thoughts and beliefs

It takes more than good intentions
Having good intentions is not enough to bring about change

And a big bloke on the door
Having security at the entrance does not guarantee safety

And though it's never the same after the first time
Things are never as exciting or thrilling after the first experience

That doesn't stop them coming back for more
People continue to seek out excitement even when it is no longer new or fresh

Fighting in the dance halls happens anyway
Violence can occur anywhere, even in a seemingly safe space

Sometimes it makes me stop and think
Sometimes the reality of violence and danger makes me reflect and consider my actions

Sometimes it makes me turn away
Other times, the idea of violence and danger is too much to confront and I choose to avoid it

But most times it makes me run away
Usually, I am too afraid to confront violence and danger and choose to flee instead
