Countdown
Pulp(펄프) Lyrics

Oh I was seventeen,
At the age of seventeen, I was young and inexperienced.

When I heard the countdown start, it started slowly,
I felt something beginning, something impending, and it started slow and gradual.

And I thought it was my heart but then I realised,
Initially, I believed it was an emotion, but I later came to a realization otherwise.

That this time it was for real there was no place to hide,
This time it was serious, and I couldn't escape or hide from it.

I had to go out and feel,
I was compelled to go out and experience what was about to happen.

But there was time to kill,
However, I had a lot of time to spare as I awaited what lay ahead.

And so I, I walked my way around town,
I walked aimlessly around my town without any clear direction or destination.

I tried to love the world,
I attempted to love and appreciate the world for what it was.

Oh but the world just got me down,
I was let down and disappointed by the world's harsh reality.

In every street of every town I wanted to see your face,
I searched every street in every town to catch a glimpse of your face.

I want to, I want to see you now.
My desire and longing to see you grew stronger and more intense.

Oh and so it went,
My aimless wandering and search continued for several years.

Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it,
My search and wandering lasted several years, and it became unbearable.

No, oh it must be getting near now that,
I thought the search was coming to an end and I would find you soon.

You just don't know,
You have no idea how long and how much I've searched for you.

Oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you,
I don't think you comprehend how many people have seen you in different situations and circumstances.

In the arms of, of of some other man,
I saw you with another man, and it hurt me to witness that sight.

I've got to meet you, and find you,
I've got to meet you and discover more about you.

And take you by the hand, oh my God,
I have to hold your hand and be close to you, Oh my God.

My God, you've got to understand,
You must know and grasp what I'm going through and what I want.

That I was seventeen.
All this pursuit and searching started when I was seventeen.

I didn't, I didn't know a thing at all.
I was young and naive, unaware of the world and everything in it.

I've got no reason,
I don't have any reason or motive for doing what I'm doing.

I've got no reason at all, Oh no.
I lack reasons, and I'm confused or unsure about what I'm doing, it's an uncertain situation.

The time, of my life,
This present moment is crucial in my life and holds a lot of meaning.

Oh I think you came too soon,
I think you appeared too early in my life, and it might not be right or appropriate time.

Yeah you came too soon then,
You arrived too soon, and it affected how I view or interpret things.

Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
Tonight and this present moment could present an opportunity to take significant action or make a significant move.

If I ever leave this room,
If I decide to exit this comfort zone, everything could change.

(I never leave this room no)
I'm not sure if I'm willing or ever going to leave this place or state of mind.

Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down,
I spent so much time on inconsequential activities that only sadden me in retrospect.

And the sky, is crying out tonight,
The sky looks like it's sad, and crying now or portraying my emotions.

For me to leave this town,
The state of the sky and the world around me is signaling that it's time for me to relocate.

So I'm gonna leave this town.
I'm going to leave this town and move somewhere else.

Goodbye.
Goodbye, farewell, it's time for me to go.

It's O.K,
It's adequate, alright or satisfactory.

You don't have to care.
You don't have to be concerned, it's not your problem.

Really.
I'm serious, truly, or honestly.

Oh, oh really, I swear,
I'm truly serious, I swear and I mean it.

No, no you owe me nothing,
You're not obligated to do anything for me.

You owe nothing to me,
I'm not entitled to your service or assistance.

And if I messed it up baby,
If I made a mistake or caused some mishap, then it's mostly my fault.

Then, that's all up to me.
Any consequences or fallout from my mistake are my responsibility.

And if you go, then, then I won't follow, no, no
If you decide to leave, I won't follow.

'cause so many times I've been,
I've been in a similar situation several times before.

I've been thinking maybe, oh maybe I should
I've thought about following, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

No, I, I'm gonna stay
I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay in this place or situation.

I, I'm gonna make my way
I'm going to find my own path and make my decisions.

Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe
I believe I'll overcome this situation, and I'll come out on top.

I'm gonna make it all some day
I'm going to make it, someday things will work out for me.

The sky, is crying out tonight,
The world and the sky seem to be mourning or feeling sad right now.

For me to leave this town,
The indication and the vibe I'm getting is that I have to leave this town.

You're not gonna have me around
You won't see me around anymore, I'm leaving this place.

Oh,
An exclamation or an expression of emotion or emphasis.

The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh
The universe, the celestial bodies, and even God wouldn't laugh or scorn me.

Me and stars and moon are falling down.
I feel like everything, including the stars and moon, just seem to be collapsing and falling apart.
