Mistake
Drug Restaurant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh 작은 공간 안에서
벗어날 수조차 없는
그런 거짓말 속에
어디서 온 지도 모르는
미친 사람들 다 똑같겠지 뭐
감당할 수 없는 일들
쉽게 열지 못했던 좌절 속에서
고장난 내 모습은 지독한 어둠 속에서
혼자서 갇혀진 채
Why don't you cuff me up
미쳐버릴 것 같던 겁 없던 Liar
That was a mistake (mistake)
Who doesn't make mistakes (mistakes)
Oh 닫혀 있던 Life Time
Uh 닫혀 있던 눈빛
That was a mistake (mistake)
Who doesn't make mistakes (mistakes)
Oh 알 수 없는 우리
Oh 어디로 갈까
그 어떤 희망도 없이
쉽게 포기 못 했던 현실 속에서
고장 난 내 모습은 지독한 어둠 속에서
혼자서 갇혀진 채
Why don't you cuff me up
미쳐버릴 것 같던 겁 없던 Liar
That was a mistake (mistake)
Who doesn't make mistakes (mistakes)
Oh 닫혀 있던 Life Time
Uh 닫혀 있던 눈빛
That was a mistake (mistake)
Who doesn't make mistakes (mistakes)
터져버릴 것 같던 my mad reason
That was a mistake (mistake)
Who doesn't make mistakes (mistakes)
Oh 닫혀 있던 Life Time
Uh 닫혀 있던 눈빛
That was a mistake (mistake)
Could have been a mistake (mistake)

Don't forget about this - Drug Restaurant IS NOT ONLY JOONYOUNG. Don't forget about other guys, don't make them suffer because of what their ex-bandmate did.
@Mia-bigbooty
they most likely knew what was going on. no way they had no clue.
@ronanlevy1505
Mia you’d be surprised as to what people can do without bandmates/friends knowing
@ronanlevy1505
Moonrise Flower tbh it is good that he’s admitted what he did, although because of what was involved i sort of feel like saying whether or not one of them is the worst is irrelevant. especially because jjy may have admitted to things, but that doesn’t really absolve him given the fact that he’s a literal rapist
@ronanlevy1505
Moonrise Flower yeah he really does...i just hope the other members’ careers aren’t totally destroyed by this
@JL-vw6gj
Yeah but without the vocalist this is a completely different band and I cba to stan..that's the honest truth. Like I'll still stan Bigbang bc Seungri barely had any lines anyway and he was the most basic member of all of them but Drug Restaurant is practically synonymous with JJY.
@brunobucciaralick3914
To this day I'm still so mad about everything.. I LOVED them, I went to concerts, I think about this song every day.. And I'm very good at keeping an artist and art apart, but with this, it's so hard.. Their music helped me through so many bad days in my teenage years..
@Rienka
Same. Hearing their songs now has such bitter-sweet feeling. But I still keep their merch, tickets, wristbands from concerts, because Drug Restaurant is not only JJY and I can't erase them, because they've been part of my k-music discovery journey. :( My friend was invited by them to tour with them, but she got so sketched out, that she declined and then next year we got the news about JJY. I'm glad she trusted her gut back then.
@jonathanchampagne7683
Can you ever forgive him?
@allysonrusso873
I have mixed feelings about this. The song is great. Everyone is super talented, it's just a shame JJY had to throw it away. Hopefully the other members continue making music.
