Sacred Play Secret Place
matryoshka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gracefully sneaking up on me
They just want to tear my feathers
The golden light of the setting sun
Let me be a hypocrite again

I will be gone before long
I know I'm wrong
No matter how far I go, they find me out
I wish the gusts took away my gloom
I can't help this vague feeling

I feel so good, but I'm worn out
We'll be all right, don't look so sad
Confess my sin, conceal them all
Night will come soon and swallow everything

Quietly hiding in the grass
Hearing the leaves rustling
They're singing with a burning piano
It gives me cheap relief

I will be gone before long
I know I'm wrong
No matter how far I go, they find me out
I wish the gusts took away my gloom
I can't help this vague feeling

I feel so good, but I'm worn out
We'll be all right, don't look so sad
Confess my sin, conceal them all
Night will come soon and swallow everything

I feel so good




We'll be all right
Then, I give all up

<가사>
나에게 조용히 다가온
그들은 단지 깃털을 뽑으려해
지는 해는 황금빛 햇살
위선자가 되게 만들어
좀있으면 난사라져
내가 잘못했어
내가 어디있든 그들은 날 찾아내지
내 우울함을 바람아 날려줘
난아직도 이기분을 이해 못해
행복해 하지만 난 너무 지쳤어
걱정마, 너무 슬퍼하지마
죄를 고백해, 죄를 숨겨버려
밤은 곧와선 모든걸 삼켜버려

간주

풀속에 조용히 숨었는데
낙엽이 바스락 거리는 소릴 듣지
그들은 노래를 부르는데
그건 내게 위안이 아냐
좀있으면 난사라져
내가 잘못했어
내가 어디있든 그들은 날 찾아내지
내 우울함을 바람아 날려줘
난아직도 이기분을 이해 못해
행복해 하지만 난 너무 지쳤어
걱정마, 너무 슬퍼하지마
죄를 고백해, 죄를 숨겨버려
밤은 곧와선 모든걸 삼켜버려

간주

행복해 하지만 난 너무지쳤어
걱정마, 너무 슬퍼하지마
죄를 고백해, 죄를 숨겨버려
밤은 곧와선 모든걸 삼켜버려
행복해
괜찮을 거야
Than, 난 포기해

반주 때문에 돌아버릴거 같다 가슴이 먹먹해지는 이 답답한 느낌이 너무 치명적임 마치 내가 푹 빠져서 거의 짝사랑 하다시피 했던 장편 작품이 완벽한 해피엔딩으로 끝이 나고 마지막 엔딩 크레딧이 올라오는 걸 보고 있는 것 같음 너무 슬프고 행복하다
