Verse 1)
Forever young, what was it that I’ve been wanting to achieve all this time?
I attacked everything fearlessly with an expression as if I’d destroy it
but after getting hurt for the first time, I started to worry about
when I’d fall. If I say that I was at the edge of happiness,

I was gradually being pushed off
Time seems to go fast, all I have in hand is a map
without an indicated destination. It looked endlessly wide
Is the treasure I’m look for something at a place that I cannot reach

at my walking speed? Does something like a treasure exist?
When time passes, I can’t hold it back
As someone said, is it really worth chasing it when you’re young?
Nobody explains it to me exactly, so

Hook)
All I can do is walk
The weather outside is fine
Contrary to my mood,
the weather outside is fine

Verse 2)
For a few years, there was a cold summer in my heart, a hot winter in my head
After barely a few seasons, I just follow the road sign
There is not one easy day. Even when it’s too much for me and I tilt over, another drink
Even though I put a finger in and shove my face into the toilet

the confusion doesn’t go away. When I snap out of it, I’m here
Since I can’t believe in myself, others can’t easily do it either
How honest am I, who talks bad about pretenses?
As I stand up, clutching my burning stomach, I am a lonely island

Someone [tell] me .. “Hey, cool off that heated body!
Hey, learn how to step back a bit already!
Hey, why are you dissociating yourself from others? You can’t make it by yourself.”
That’s not the problem though. Why I want to do this?

Hook)
There’s nothing else I can do
Someone envies me
Contrary to my mood,
the stage I stand on is glamorous

Outro)
What’s goin’ on brother?
What’s goin’ on?

((The following are lyric extracts from E SENS’ mixtape ‘New Blood, Rapper Vol. 1’, credit to demonade on HiphopLE))
I wonder what my crib was worth
Will I be able to provide better for my son one day?
As I haven’t been able to find love yet
I wonder if my father had the same thoughts one day((From ‘부르마블 (Blue Marble)’))

Music, my rhymes that move strongly
shall cut out everyone’s illness((From ‘M.C (Feat. Gaeko)’))

Wounds shouldn’t be exaggerated
Although letting them pass wordlessly is hard,
that is something quite important to me
If you know me, just pretend to be fooled,
I can’t hide it perfectly from everyone anyway

More talks about values
People and love are very different from me
and I’m saying I’m better((From ‘부르마블 (Blue Marble)’))

Everybody wants a job with good possibilities
When the greed of wanting to put on airs and the probing glances from the people around
choke them, the topic of Korea is money. But I don’t give a fuck((From ‘열정 (Passion) (Feat. Beatbox DG)’))

Worn-out, old fashion, giving the soul a break
Like a Hollywood movie
Knowingly or unknowingly, I talk about forbidden things
The scalps of smartasses stiffen
The melancholy of art((From ‘Make Music (Feat. Absolyte)’))

You can call me E SENS
After I nail words into the ears of fussy kids,
they’ll split,((= their heads will split)) this kanji:((‘kanji’ is the Korean version of ‘swag/style/coolness/swagger/…’)) a qualification((From ‘피똥 (Bloody Shit) (Feat. Simon Dominic)’))
