Trust
X-Propagation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

빛이 나는 spoon
내게는 남 얘기, 누군가의 꿈
이미 다 가진 그들의 삶 속엔 없는 game over

원하면 뭐든 지킬 수 있겠지
나완 다르니, 그게 한 평의 방이 됐든
꿈이 됐든 사랑이든 oh
I can't be a lover
이 세계의 charge
A bit too much
I might lose again 이 game

I'll never be a trust fund baby, no
그 삶이 내 거면 왜 안 되는 걸까?
빈 wallet 그보다 더 비어버린 마음의 이름은
Lover with no dollar sign
I'll never be a trust fund baby, no
I wish everything's a lie

Ah-ah, hmm (bop)
Ah-ah

훔친 hunnit bands
더 비참해질 뿐 주인은 못 돼
패배자를 위한 낙원 따윈, 구원 따윈 물론 없어

Eh, I know, I know I'm not like them
더하고 곱해봐도 잘 안돼
그 어떤 수도 zero인 내겐
I'm nothin' 살 수 없는 걸

I'll never be a trust fund baby, no
그 삶이 내 거면 왜 안 되는 걸까?
빈 wallet 그보다 더 비어버린 마음의 이름은
Lover with no dollar sign
I'll never be a trust fund baby, no
I wish everything's a lie

Ah-ah, hmm (bop)
Ah-ah





I'll never be a trust fund baby, no
I wish everything's a lie

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of X-Propagation's song "Trust," the lyrics describe a "shining spoon" which represents the unattainable wealth and success that other people have, but the singer does not. The lines "내게는 남 얘기, 누군가의 꿈/ 이미 다 가진 그들의 삶 속엔 없는 game over" roughly translate to "the stories of others, someone's dream/ in the lives of those who already have everything, there is no 'game over'." This suggests that for those who already have wealth, the game of life is already won and there are no obstacles left to face.


The singer then expresses a desire to be different and to succeed on their own terms, saying "원하면 뭐든 지킬 수 있겠지/ 나완 다르니, 그게 한 평의 방이 됐든/ 꿈이 됐든 사랑이든 oh" or "if I want it, I can keep anything/ because I'm different, whether it's a room or a dream or love." However, the singer understands that they may not be cut out for the game of life, saying "I can't be a lover/ 이 세계의 charge/ A bit too much/ I might lose again 이 game" or "I can't be a lover/ this world's charge/ It's a bit too much/ I might lose this game again."


The "trust fund baby" line in the chorus refers to those who were born into wealthy families and do not have to work for their wealth. The singer bemoans their lack of wealth and status, wishing that things were different so that they too could have the luxury of not having to worry about money. The lines "빈 wallet 그보다 더 비어버린 마음의 이름은/ Lover with no dollar sign/ I'll never be a trust fund baby, no/ I wish everything's a lie" roughly translate to "the name of my heart that's emptier than my wallet/ is 'lover with no dollar sign'/ I'll never be a trust fund baby, no/ I wish everything's a lie."


Overall, the song "Trust" seems to be about the struggle of achieving success and wealth in a world where some people are born with an inherent advantage. The singer expresses a desire to succeed on their own terms, but also acknowledges that they may not be cut out for the game of life.
