G.D
A-yo Choice drop it on me

Yo 밤은 깊었는데 잠은 안오고
늘어난 두통과 싸우고
이리저리 뒤척이다 생각에 잠겨
또 펜을 붙잡고
빼곡히 써 내려가는 가사
이 안에 내 철학이 가득하다
뿌연 담배 연기 꽉 찬 내방
Home sweet home 아늑하다

열 세살 나이에 와서 쉴 틈없이 달려왔어
뭣 모르는 자신감 내겐 가장 큰 무기였어
오르막 길이라면 내리막 길도 있는 법
돌아가기엔 너무 늦어버렸어
I can't let it go

Remember back in the day 빛나던 두 눈
난 절대 잊지 못해 그 뜨거운 꿈을
Don't forget back in the day 소년이여
네 멋진 목소리로 세상에 소리쳐 shine a light

난 G-Dragon 남들이 뭐라건
작다고 어리다고
난 G-Dragon 남들이 뭐라건 (wuh-woo)

사람들은 말해 내가 부러워 가진게 너무 많아
연예인들은 다 편하게만 살아
딱 하루만 그입장이 돼 봐라
보이는 게 다가 아니란 걸 알아

시간이 흘러가면서 외로움만 커져갔어
뭣 모르는 의무감 내겐 가장 큰 부담였어
오르막 길이라면 내리막 길도 있는 법
도망치기엔 너무 늦어버렸어
I wanna go

Remember back in the day 빛나던 두 눈
난 절대 잊지 못해 그 뜨거운 꿈을
Don't forget back in the day 소년이여
네 멋진 목소리로 세상에 소리쳐 shine a light

10년동안 수 많은 물음들과
내가 흘린 수 많은 땀방울들과
내가 참아온 차가운 눈물들 아아 아아
다시 시작해 보는거야

Remember back in the day 빛나던 두 눈
난 절대 잊지 못해 그 뜨거운 꿈을
Don't forget back in the day 소년이여
네 멋진 목소리로 세상에 소리쳐 shine a light

(Just once)
Remember back in the day (go back) 빛나던 두 눈 (huh)
난 절대 잊지 못해 (forget) 그 뜨거운 꿈을 (huh)
Don't forget back in the day (way back) 소년이여
네 멋진 목소리로 세상에 소리쳐 shine a light

Come back to me now
Come back to me now (1년이 지나도) (10년이 지나도)
Come back to me now
Come back to me now (지나간 세월아) (내 청춘아)

Remember back in the day (it's time to shine)
난 절대 잊지 못해 (thanks Choice!)




Don't forget back in the day (dropped you by G.D)
네 멋진 목소리로 세상에 소리쳐 shine a light

이 노래 들으면 울컥울컥하네요.
잊고 있었던 우울감이 올라오기도 하고.

다들 다르게 사는 것 같아도 누구나 그 자리에서 고충이 있는 것 같아요.

저 같은 경우
폭력을 동반한 부모님 불화에 트라우마도 생기고, 폭력때문이라 했지만 돈 없으면 살기 힘들다고 집 나가던 엄마때문에 유기불안도 있었던 것 같아요.

온가족이 찢어져서 친척집에 구박받으며 얹혀 살기도 했고..다시 합쳐 살 때는 다시는 헤어지고 싶지 않아 제가 할 수 있는 노력은 공부를 하는 것이었네요.
부모님이 조금이라도 힘이 나실테니까요.

오빠는 공부 안 하고 게임만 한다며 포기했다고 제게 기대를 한다는 엄마의 말씀에 부담감이 엄청났습니다.

반에서만 1등인 게 한계..전교 1~5등은 부동이었으니까 아무리 노력해도 따라잡을 수 없어 올라가기엔 너무 힘들고, 내려가기엔 두렵고.

엄마는 오빠만 안쓰러웠던 것 같은데, 저는 그저 알아서 잘 하는 것 같으니 문제 없어 보였나봐요.

고3 때는 자꾸 코피가 났는데, 그때는 스트레스때문인 줄도 몰랐어요.
나중에 성인되고 불안감, 강박증, 우울감, 스트레스가 터지더라고요.

아직도 시험치는 악몽을 꿉니다. 정답은 다 까먹었는데 시험 문제는 왜 그리 구체적인지.
심장이 터질 것 같고, 불안해서 억지로 깨면 그 감정이 생생해서 잠시동안 꿈인지 분간도 안 됩니다.

제 학창 시절은 엄마의 우울증, 아빠 흉, 하소연, 시댁 비난 그런 것만 온통 차 있네요.
지금도 저는 감정쓰레기통이죠.

모든 게 단점만 있지 않으니까 장점을 보고 살아야죠.

저는 무기력함, 좌절감에 부모님 눈치 보는 착한 아이병에 걸려 꿈을 이루지는 못 했지만
그래도 부모님 보면서 어떻게 살아야 하나 많이 생각해볼 수 있었어요.
제 가정에 부부 사이 좋고, 아기 키울 때도 기준 확실할 수 있는 것 같아요.

지디 저랑 동갑일걸요?
다른 삶을 살았지만 어린 나이에 모두 고생했어요.

괴로움없이 사시길.

난 여전히 여기 있다
요즘 곡들 보다
여전히 10년전 너의 곡들이
나를 울리고, 웃게 하고
어깨를 들썩이게 만든다
니가 최고란걸 잊지마..
떠나지 말고 우리 곁에 있어줘
