All That Glitters

Got nothing to say
새로 갈 길 나에겐 없어
미랠 볼 수 없으니
방법을 찾아서 나가야 해
우린 어디에 있는지 몰라
환각에 빠져있을 뿐이야
외로운 채찍질이 됐고
이 쓰고 쓰디쓴 독에
날 데려다 놨냐고
오래 미치진 않고
오래 살고 싶다고
I saw it shining, you didn't explain
쉬었다 갈 틈 없이 떠나가
유머스럽게도 상처 주고 대답 없어
우린 어디에 있는지 몰라
환각에 맞서있을 뿐이야
외로운 채찍질이 됐고 이 쓰고 쓰디쓴
독에 날 데려다 놨냐고
오래 미쳐질진 oh oh oh whoa whoa
Oh oh oh whoa whoa
이 쓰고 쓰디쓴 독에 날 데려다 놨냐고
오래 미쳐질진 always beautiful (hey)
Always possible (hey)
싸워진 loser 너만 보일 magical
부셔 깨질 땐 언제쯤이 될까
새로운 대책은 찢었고
이 춥고 춥디추운 벌을 내려줬냐고
어디 질 줄 알까 oh oh oh whoa whoa
Oh oh oh whoa whoa
춥디추운 벌을 내려줬냐고
오래 미치진 않고
오래 살고 싶다고
쓰디쓴 독에 날 데려다 놨냐고
오래 미치진 않고
오래 살고 싶다고
The lyrics to Kim Jae Joong's song "All That Glitters" describe a feeling of being lost and trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain and loneliness. The opening lines suggest a sense of hopelessness, as the singer stands in silence with nothing to say because he feels there is no new path for him to take. He cannot see a way out and must find a way to escape this cycle. The lyrics suggest that he is in a kind of hallucinatory state, possibly due to his emotional distress.
The chorus repeats the refrain "Did you lead me to this bitter poison?" and questions whether the singer's pain and loneliness are caused by someone else's actions or his own. The lines "We don't know where we are / We're just lost in our illusions" suggest a sense of disorientation and confusion, as if the singer cannot see a clear path forward. He describes himself as being whipped by his own loneliness and trapped in this bitter cycle.
The second half of the song repeats the refrain and adds a sense of desperation to the lyrics. Lines like "When will we break and fall apart?" and "Where should we go?" suggest a desire for freedom and a way out of this cycle of pain. Overall, "All That Glitters" is a powerful, emotional song that captures the sense of hopelessness and despair that can come with feeling lost and alone.

Standing in silence
I am standing still and not speaking
Got nothing to say
I have no words to express
새로 갈 길 나에겐 없어
I don't have a new path to take
미랠 볼 수 없으니
Because I can't see my future
방법을 찾아서 나가야 해
I need to find a way to move forward
우린 어디에 있는지 몰라
We don't know where we are
환각에 빠져있을 뿐이야
We are only lost in our illusions
외로운 채찍질이 됐고
I became the lonely whip
이 쓰고 쓰디쓴 독에
In this bitter venom
날 데려다 놨냐고
Did you bring me here
오래 미치진 않고
Do not go insane for long
오래 살고 싶다고
I want to live long
I saw it shining, you didn't explain
I saw something shining, but you didn't clarify what it was
쉬었다 갈 틈 없이 떠나가
It's leaving without giving me a chance to rest
유머스럽게도 상처 주고 대답 없어
Ironically, it hurt me and didn't give any answers
환각에 맞서있을 뿐이야
I am just trying to face this illusion
오래 미쳐질진
I won't go insane for long
always beautiful (hey)
Always beautiful
always possible (hey)
Always possible
싸워진 loser 너만 보일 magical
I'll look magical, fighting my own losing battle
부셔 깨질 땐 언제쯤이 될까
When will I break down and shatter
새로운 대책은 찢었고
My new plan fell apart
이 춥고 춥디추운 벌을 내려줬냐고
Did you give me this cold punishment
어디 질 줄 알까
Who knows where I will end up
춥디추운 벌을 내려줬냐고
Did you give me this cold punishment
쓰디쓴 독에 날 데려다 놨냐고
Did you bring me to this bitter venom
