Still Alive
J. Y. Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

댄스가수 나이가 나이가 몇 개
마흔하고도 네 개
근데도 한창인데
떴다 지는 요즘
별들과는 달라(달라)
폼 잡다가 사라진 애들 다 잘 봐

귀여운 척 안하고
내숭 하나도 없이
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
