Kwon Jin Ah (권진아) – MONSTER Lyrics

“MONSTER” by Kwon Jin Ah

More than anyone, I wanted to live. No one knows my daily, desperate struggle just to survive. To escape the crushing sense of defeat of simply being myself, I would cram anything into my mouth, only to find a monster staring back at me in the mirror. I told myself that if I pretended everything was fine, it would be fine. I thought forcing myself into a glittering, perfect ideal would bring happiness, but only a horrific aftermath awaited me. That time doesn’t feel distant; it is as vivid as if it happened yesterday. The fact that someone out there is still living that way, and that no one truly sheds light on it anymore, is why I made this song. Rather than hollow words like ‘love yourself,’ I want to comfort you by saying: even if you don’t love yourself right now, let’s just move forward to tomorrow. That is the very mindset I use to survive each day.

Hangul

매일 아침 그랬지
거울 속의 난
사랑받지 못할 괴물인 줄 알았어
차가운 바닥에서
기어가던 난
거울 앞에 다시 서 있어

비참했던 내 playground
지독했던 내 trauma
내 거울은 좀 다른 걸까
세상은 끝내 지겹게 온통 그대론데
끔찍한 내 모습도 여전해

Keep going, stay alive
살아가야만 해
이토록 엉망인 채 난
Even if it’s camouflage
살아내야만 해
버텨내 in this dirty game
살아내 like this dirty way

달라진 것이 없는
세상 속에 난
사랑받지 못할 괴물일지 몰라도
차가운 바닥에서
다짐했어 난
이렇게 죽을 순 없다고

사랑했던 내 playground
자랑스러운 내 trauma
난 여전해 그 자리에서
외로운 영혼들이여
이겨낼 때까지
나를 따라 모두 다 노래해

Keep going, stay alive
살아가야만 해
이토록 엉망인 채 난
Even if it’s camouflage
살아내야만 해
버텨내 in this dirty game
살아내 like this dirty way

Keep going, stay alive
살아가야만 해
Don’t let them fade you out babe
Even if it’s camouflage
살아내야만 해
버텨내 in this dirty game
살아내 in your own way
