Kite War
hyukoh Lyrics

Honestly
In all sincerity,

I'm not ready, can you wait for me?
I'm still unprepared for what lies ahead; could you be patient with my situation?

Brother, where is my kite and knife for me
Dear companion, I seek the tools necessary for my journey and exploration—my kite symbolizes freedom, while the knife represents the need for protection.

For eternity
This quest feels timeless, as if it stretches beyond the present moment.

Can you wait for me?
Will you allow me the time I need to catch up and prepare myself?

Mother, sky got silver grass
In the spaces above, there seems to be an ethereal beauty reminiscent of shimmering silver.

Better be dry before drowning 'til you die
It’s essential to stay grounded and not get overwhelmed by despair before it consumes you.

Tell me what you fighting for
Please clarify your motivations and reasons behind your struggles.

The sea wind is blowing on the shore
The forces of nature are evident, highlighting a connection to the environment and the changes it brings.

Mountain high like eagles fly
The peaks reach great heights, symbolizing aspirations and the beauty of freedom associate with soaring above difficulties.

Deep down there's nothing in my mind
Despite appearances, there exists a profound emptiness within me, a void of thoughts or direction.

Hurry, show me golden hell
I am eager to witness the harsh realities of life, often veiled in allure, that challenge my existence.

They know how to put me in the box
Others are adept at confining me to societal expectations or limitations.

War
The ongoing struggle or conflict that permeates my life.

Then my heaven is low and I'm losing the war
When my hopes and joys are dimmed, I find myself increasingly overwhelmed by defeat in my battles.

Ooh, war
An emotional acknowledgment of the conflict I face.

When my heaven is old
When my dreams and aspirations feel outdated or unattainable,

I'm a dust in the war
I feel insignificant and lost amidst the chaos of my struggles.

War
The enduring conflict continues to shadow my existence.

Then my heaven is low and I'm losing the war
In this state of turmoil, my joy fades—leading towards a sense of despair.

Ooh, war
A repeated acknowledgment of the struggle that persists in my life.

When my heaven is old
When what once brought me joy now feels distant and unreachable,

I'm a dust in the war
I am reduced to mere insignificance in the grander context of conflict.

Ooh, ooh
An expression of resigned emotion in response to my situation.

Ooh, ooh
A continued reminder of the weight of my struggles.

And I'm losing the war
Ultimately, I find myself overwhelmed and defeated by the battles I face.

Mountain high like eagles fly
Again, the imagery of lofty ambitions and freedom suggests an ongoing yearning for elevation.

Deep down there's nothing in my mind
Reiterating the emptiness that lingers beneath the surface of my thoughts.

Hurry, show me golden hell
Once more, I am compelled to confront the beautiful yet harsh truths of life.

They know how to put me in the box
Acknowledging the cleverness of others in applying societal constraints upon me.

War
The constant state of battle that characterizes my existence.

Then my heaven is low and I'm losing the war
When my spirit feels suppressed, I am succumbing to the challenges at hand.

Ooh, war
Reiterating the emotional weight of my turmoil.

When my heaven is old
When my once vibrant hopes feel faded and void of life,

I'm a dust in the war
I return to the feeling of being trivial in the midst of ongoing struggle.
