살아있네
J.Y. Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
마흔하고도 네 개
근데도 한창인데
떴다 지는 요즘
별들과는 달라(달라)
폼 잡다가 사라진 애들 다 잘 봐
귀여운 척 안하고
제 애인은 여러분
이런 멘트들 없이
날라리 같은 모습
그대로 놀아(놀아)
그러고도 아직까지 살아 남아
레코드 판이 카세트가 되고
카세트 테잎이 CD로 바뀌고
CD가 다운로드 스트리밍이 되도
90년대 2000년대 2010년대도
살아있네
살아있네
살아있네
90년대 2000년대 2010년대도
자자 애들아 모여봐
내가 누군지 알지?
니들 좋아하는 오빠들과
많이 다르지
그 오빠들 태어나기 전에
데뷔를 했지만
그 오빠들 앞에서
아직 상까지 받지 난
미안해 니 오빠들도
오래오래 나처럼
살아남길 바랄게
하지만 그게 참 말처럼
쉬운 게 아니기에
걱정은 좀 된다만
나를 보고 잘 연구하면
확률이 올라간단다
강한 자가 오래 가는 게 아냐
오래가는 자가 강한 자란 말야
강한 자가 오래 가는 게 아냐
오래가는 자가 강한 자란 말야
10년은 돼야 가수라고 하지
20년은 돼야 스타라고 하지
30년이 되면 레전드라 부르지
그래서 이렇게 아직도
난 배가 고프지
The lyrics of J.Y. Park's song "Still Alive" reflect his resilience and longevity as a dancer and singer in the music industry. The first verse acknowledges his age and the fact that many artists in their forties are fading away, but despite that, he remains active and thriving. He compares himself to the stars, implying that he stands out and is different from them. He also notes that those who try to imitate him quickly disappear.
In the second verse, J.Y. Park reflects on the evolution of music technology, from records and cassettes to CDs and streaming. Despite these changes, he proudly declares that he is still alive and relevant in the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. This shows his adaptability and ability to navigate through different eras of music.
In the third verse, J.Y. Park addresses his fans and distinguishes himself from other artists they might admire. He mentions that he debuted before some of those artists were even born, yet he continues to receive recognition and respect from them. He apologizes to their "oppas" (older brothers), implying that he has achieved longevity that he wishes for them as well.
The final verse emphasizes that being strong doesn't guarantee longevity in the music industry. It's the ones who last a long time who are considered strong. J.Y. Park acknowledges that it is not easy to maintain a successful career for a long period, but he encourages others to study him and learn from his example, as that will increase their chances of survival. He ends the song humorously, stating that even after all these years, he still gets hungry, highlighting his hunger for success and his drive to continue making music.
