((The album cover is an extract of a car owner’s manual on what to do when there are problems with the car, like the headlights not working at night or the engine not starting.))

Verse 1)
Hey, have I changed a lot? [People say] words like
“Everyone changes in life,” words like “You cannot
trust anyone in this place so be careful.” What do I see in you to believe you?
Even friends who cared about loyalty go other ways

People say “Never be naive.” So many requirements at the same time,
I listen to a few of them. That guy’s words which I cannot trust
and the feelings of a longtime friend that I can never know,
maybe I am the dirtiest for spending time thinking about this((Possible reference to E SENS’ track ‘드러워’ [Dirty]))

Everyone is competing, comparing and nitpicking about who’s superior
The news claim it is not a beautiful thing
but we all saw that it does not change right away
We learn the art of passing by as if it was nothing

If you are just sad about it, [they say] you are a child. It is becoming a habit of mine
I cannot care for my nice friend’s life as well
We understand each other. The drunkard((Probably referring to himself))
who used to be so elated has changed indeed. Life goes on

Verse 2)
“If I had choice, back then was better.” It is no use
saying this sentence to anyone. Now, you actually say
that you miss your teens and the distressing military
You were the one who was in a hurry to get out of them

7 to 10.((This could mean that he’s now talking about the time from 2007 to 2010, some people suggest it could also refer to the self-study time at high school.)) When I was sitting at my desk
I just hoped for it to pass. As for you, I think
it was surely not just that one time. Don’t
drink yourself to death. If you take a look, [you can see that] everything comes and goes

One’s own deficits? Or unfairness?
That is something you can think about for a long time
[But] you’re not allowed to, always work, work
First of all, go over the yellow one, dust off your butt and get up((The ‘yellow one’ is probably the sun (credit to Hiphople user 거북이거북해).))

If you imagine the place you will reach
after half a day, you can even endure a distressing flight((Fyi: the word ‘비행’ (bihaeng, here translated as ‘flight’) can also mean ‘misdeed/wrongdoing/delinquency’.
Some people go as far as to connect it to bhang (if read as “bee-hang”), a drink made of the cannabis plant, which however seems far-fetched and makes no sense.))
I wish for the weather to be nice too
Not cold and not hot but just perfect

Outro)
I sit anywhere and smoke a cigarette
It’s unhealthy? Of course I know that too
It’s addicting but I pretend it’s not. Actually,
I just gain time to space out, give me five quiet minutes

Two thoughts come up at the same time
If I feel exhausted, [I put off] these worries to tomorrow again
Knockin’ on heaven’s door
Give me a bed on which I can just lie quietly for a while
