13 SUGA's Interlude
Halsey SUGA & BTS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying all my life
To separate the time
In between the having it all and giving it up, yeah

Ay 내 머릿속엔 파란색만 가득한 이 방황
자기혐오들과 자만이 내 마음속에 살아 ay

꿈이 가득한 난 자라 ay 모든 꿈을 이뤘건만

꿈은 꿈으로만 간직하는 게 더 낫지라는 생각을 동시에 하며 살아가고 있지

Umm 내 도약은 추락이 아니기를
너의 신념 노력 믿음 욕심들은 추악이 아님임을 믿어

Ay 해가 뜨기 전 새벽은 무엇보다 어둡지만
네가 바란 별들은 어둠 속에서만 뜬다는 걸 절대 잊지 마

I've been trying all my life
To separate the time
In between the having it all and giving it up, yeah (hey)

I wonder what's in store
If I don't love it anymore (hey)
I'm stuck between the having it all and giving it up, yeah (hey)

(하) 가끔은 내가 걷고 있는 게 맞는지
하염없이 터널 끝을 향해 달리면 뭐가 또 있을런지

맞긴 한지 내가 바라던 미래와는 솔직히 다른 거지
상관없지 이제는 생존의 문제 어찌 됐든 상관없지

Yeah yeah 네가 바란 것들과는 다를지 몰라
네가 살아가는 것도 사랑하는 것도 변할지 몰라 (몰라)

That's true (that's true, that's true)
Yeah so are you gonna move?

꾸물거리기엔 우린 아직 젊고 어려 부딪혀보자고
So what you gonna do?

I've been trying all my life
To separate the time
In between the having it all and giving it up, yeah

I wonder what's in store

If I don't love it anymore (hey)
I'm stuck between the having it all and giving it up, yeah
