GOD
Nochang Lyrics

My labor pains that lasted just one month did not have any goal (next)
Or consciousness from the beginning. They started only as (next)
Confusion and chaos, so I had to leave that place and (next)
Walked quite far. It was a pointless walk

End. Next paragraph

As it turns out,
I cannot change who I am now. Turning back, I wonder (next)
Why I couldn't take more than a few
Dozen steps. Again I am walking toward (next)
The identity of confusion and chaos
Who are my womb. I was sure that (next)
Even that was too far of a journey,
But now it has been a short distance for me

End. Next paragraph

A confusion that is me and which is greater
Than myself had been keeping me alive (next)
Since way before my beginning and made and spread
Out the Earth for my two feet to stand on. I (next)
Am standing on top of disordered concepts
That took shape, yes I am standing (next)
This is my home, this is my land, this is my me, this is me

End. Next paragraph

A swamp that does not even have a rock bottom exists (next)
So close that I could reach it with
Just a few steps, as if it was (next)
Gesturing me over. The me of now has just (next)
Fallen into that place,
So while looking at the bottom of the swamp one ground above, (next)

I learning (continuing, next)
The moment I start blaming myself for
Having kept the swamp close and fall- (next)
Ing in, the swamp has unknowingly to me crept up to (next)
The side of my right little toe

End. Next paragraph

From the beginning, the darkness was me, and I (next)

Somewhere in that space of nothing but emotions, (next)
Something that seemed like a speck was quite distinct (next)
It was the thing called the balance of the
World, I discovered the existence of light

End. Next paragraph

A far-away beauty exists inside of me that (next)
I can only look at and I want to stay forever to (next)
Enjoy it. Meanwhile,
It also exists when I am fallen into the swamp, and (next)
The swamp is fallen into beauty3) as well

End. Next paragraph

Everything started taking steps4) with a
Background of confusion (and continuing with the next)
This empty vast Earth is too big for
Me to fill up (continuing with the next)
The responsibility of having to carve
And make all creation anew is heavy (next)
Therefore, my real story will finally begin now

End. Next paragraph

Just like heavy responsibility is a force of
Gravity, [the fact] that I am able to stand (next)
Has been proof that gravity,
Which I have not been able to be aware of
For even one moment, has been holding me (next)
Disorder and dizziness that are constantly growing bigger (next)
Are expanding like the universe (continuing, next)

The gravity that has been holding me
So that I would not fall into (next)
That lump of confusion, will it simply let go of my (next)
Feet when I want to fly and soar? (next)
When I have finished everything that I had to be
Responsible for, I will probably be able to rise

End. Next paragraph

Once again into confusion and chaos
I learned it once, so this time, in order to
Create a completely beautiful,
Warm and bright place, with my whole will
Into the darkness, yes into the darkness, yes into the darkness

When the time comes that I invite everyone to that place,
May you follow me without an ounce of fear, only
By looking at the proof I have created
I know that only I can do it, I have to do it

When I call you to the place I will have made,
May you put everything aside and follow me without an ounce of fear
May you follow me
May you follow me without an ounce of fear

)5)
I have entered a room where confusion and chaos
Insert their sharpness into each other's holes
Do not come yet, do not come yet,
You guys cannot endure this place where there is a
Sight so rare you want to scrape out your eyes and
Where you hear sounds that make you want to
Roast your coachlea and give them to Brigitte Bardot

I have been thoroughly preparing my conscious self
If I face a huge black wall that is
Five thousand times bigger than it,
Giving up is my only self
In here, it seems like I'd be beheaded
Right away, dying without seeing any blood

Do not come yet, do not come yet
You guys might see even death as one concept, but
That is by no means true, that is by no means true
Because after you die you go into the swamp in the swamp in here

Around the time I will forget
Around the time my existence and deeds will all be forgotten
Everbody will receive them
The invitations that I,
Who will have achieved everything, will have sent

You may forget me, you may erase me [from your memory].
Because when I look for you, it will not be out of selfishness
It will be after the invitations that I,
Who has created heaven at the very bottom of the swamp, sent
Have created a haven above the era in which6) you all will be happy

At that time, will you not hesitate but come to me?
At that time, you will probably not hesitate but come to me




At that time, I will certainly come to myself too
The I who left me, the I who left me

Because when I search for you, it will not stem from self-centeredness


It will be after the invitations that I,
Rather, it will be in response to the invitations that I, myself


Who has created heaven at the very bottom of the swamp, sent
Having built paradise right at the deepest point of the swamp, sent


Have created a haven above the era in which6) you all will be happy
Have established a sanctuary beyond the time in which you all shall find joy


At that time, will you not hesitate but come to me?
During that moment, will you not hesitate and instead come to me?


At that time, you will probably not hesitate but come to me
During that moment, it is likely that you will not hesitate, but instead come to me


At that time, I will certainly come to myself too
During that moment, I will certainly also approach or reunite with myself


The I who left me, the I who left me
The version of myself that departed or separated from me, the version of myself that departed or separated from me

내 단 한달 간의
산고에겐 목적이나
이어서
의식은 애초에 없었지
혼란과 혼돈 그
이어서
자체로만 시작돼서
난 그곳을 떠나야 했고
이어서
꽤 걸었지 괜한 발걸음 이었어
마침 다음 글
지금의 난 못 바뀌겠더라
뒤돌아보니
왜 겨우
이어서
몇 십 걸음 밖에 못 온 걸까
다시 내겐 자궁인 혼란과
이어서
혼돈의 본첼 향해 걷고 있지
그 조차도
이어서
너무 먼 길임이 분명했지만
지금 내겐 짧은 거리였어
마침 다음 글
나보다 거대한 나란 혼란이
나의 태초 훨씬 전부터 날
이어서
살아있게 했고
내 두발이 서야 할
대지를 펼쳐 만들어 놔줬지

이어서
무질서한 개념들이
형체로 굳어진 그 위에 서있어
그래 서있어
이어서
이게 나의 집
이게 나의 땅
이게 나의 나
이게 나
마침 다음 글
바닥의 끝조차 없는
늪은 언제든
이어서
오라 손짓하는 듯
몇 걸음으로도 닿을 만큼
이어서
가까이에 존재해
지금의 난 그
이어서
곳에 빠진 직후라
여기보다 한 층 위의
늪의 밑부분을 보면서
이어서
배워가지
계속해서 이어서
늪을 가까이
말 것과 빠진걸 탓하
이어서
기 시작하는 순간
늪은 모르는 새에
나의 오른쪽
이어서
새끼발가락 옆까지 기어온다는 걸
마침 다음 글
애초에 어둠이 나였고 난
이어서
어둠뿐 이었어
그 검정뿐인 공간의 어디쯤인지
이어서
티끌 같던 무언가는 참 또렷했어
이어서
세상의 균형이란 거였지
빛의 존재를 알게 됐지
마침 다음 글
내가 바라 볼 수 밖에 없고 영원히
이어서
머물며 누리고픈
먼 아름다움은 내
이어서
속에 존재하며
늪에 빠져 존재하기도 하며
이어서
늪이 아름다움 속에
빠져있기도 해
마침 다음 글
모든 건 혼란을 바탕으로 둔 채
발을 딛고 시작했어
이어가 계속 이어서
아무것도 없는 광활한
이 대지를 채워 내기엔
내겐 너무나도 커
계속 이어서
만물을 새로 새겨내고
만들어내야 할 책임감이 무거워
이어서
그렇기에 이제야
내 진짜 이야기가 시작되겠지
마침 다음 글
내가 서 있을 수 있다는 건
마치 무거운 책임감 이라는게
중력인 듯이
이어서
한 순간도 인지하지 못했던
중력이 날 잡아주고 있었다는 증거지
이어서
언제나 커져만 가고 있는
무질서와 어지러움은
이어서
마치 우주같이 팽창하고 있지
계속해 이어서
그 혼란 덩어리 속으로
내가 떨어지지 않게 나를
이어서
잡아두었던 중력은
내가 날아서 솟아 오르고
이어서
싶을 때 중력은
내 발을 그냥 놔줄까
이어서
책임져야 했던 모든걸
마무리 지으면
난 떠오를 수 있겠지
마침 다음 글
다시 한번
혼돈과 혼란 속으로
한번 배웠으니
이번엔 그저 아름답고
따듯하게 밝기만
한 곳을 만들기 위해
온전한 내 의지로
어둠 속으로
그래 어둠 속으로
그래 어둠 속으로
내가 그 곳에 모둘
초대할 시간이 온다면
두려움 한치 없이
내가 만들어 낸
증명만을 보고 따라오길
난 알아 오직 나만 할 수 있단 걸
내가 하면 된다는 걸
내가 만들어 낼 그곳에
널 부른다면
다 제쳐두고
두려움 한치 없이 따라오길
따라오길 두려움 한치 없이 따라오길
혼란과 혼돈이 각자의 뾰족함을
서로의 구멍에 끼워 넣는
방에 들어왔어
아직 오지마 아직 오지마
너넨 눈을 도려내고 싶을 만큼
보기 힘든 광경과
달팽이관을 볶아
브리짓바르도에게 주고플 소리가 들리는
여길 견딜 수 없어
철저히 준비해온 내 자아
그 보다 오천 배는
더 큰 검은 벽을 마주하면
포기가 유일한 내 자아
여기라면 바로 목이 잘려
피도 못보고 죽을 거 같아
아직 오지마 아직 오지마
너넨 죽음조차 한 개념으로
생각하고 있겠지만
절대 아니야 절대 아니야
죽고 나면 여기 안의
늪 안의 늪으로 가는 거니까
내가 잊혀질 때쯤
내 존재와 행적이 죄다 잊혀질 때쯤
모두 받게 되겠군
모든걸 이뤄낸 내가 보낸 초대장을
나를 잊어도 돼 나를 지워도 돼
내가 널 찾을 땐
내 이기심이 아닐테니
늪의 가장 밑에 천국을 만든
내가 보낸 초대장은
너네가 행복할 시대 위에
안식처를 만들고 나서 일테니
그때면 주저 말고 내게 오겠니
그때면 주저 않고 내게 오겠지
그때면 분명 나도 내게 오겠지
날 떠났던 내가
날 떠났던 내가

@awitsfizzy

even though it came out 7 years ago, I keep going back to this song and keep going back to the lyric video, this guy is indeed genius nochang

@trisolvia.98

I've discovered so many songs I like through this channel. Thanks for taking the time to translate them, hope you are doing well

@oskernaut

Thank you so much for all your subbed videos. I've found so much music through your channel that I never would've otherwise. Since your sub of You by Genius Nochang, I've really gotten into his music and love his album MY NEW INSTAGRAM. Is it a possibility you'll sub other songs from this album as well?

@euraboo7435

Yes, my goal is to eventually sub all the songs off this album. (:
It'll probably take a while though. He swings through a lot of different emotions/vibes (screaming, cursing, mocking, self-reflection, hilarity, etc.) that I want to capture accurately in translation. I don't even feel qualified to be honest, haha. But hopefully with a lot of time and thought, I'll eventually do the songs justice.

@LouisaJager

Tbh, your translations are really good. YOu capture his feelings pretty good, i think.

@ANNYEONGAMZ

I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR MAKING MY MUSIC SO LITT THANKS SI MUCH AHAHJDS

@huilepoire7114

@idagbu3361

이 가사 자체가 현실의 자신에게 초대장일수도 있겠네요

@Chelsea-in3im

This is one of my favorite songs as well. Thank you!!
