Ouch

This is Zico's song Dead Leaves.

 

Unidentifiable time and space

Hands and feet that seem to float in midair

Communion between reason and instinct

Drift into deep chaos then return again

 

I stumble with a thud as I show my faults

You can’t tighten a screw to my ankle

As I calmly pretend that I’m alright, my body becomes frightening

My flesh hardened from emotions must have been cut, my chest feels numb

 

Damn, though I swallow pills, though I take 100 steps

It won’t past, it keeps rewinding

Don’t call, I won’t pick up

The fog will disappear but the moon is already covered

The me inside the mirror is like a monster, my head feels like it’ll explode

The truth became fiction, I’m lying as expected

Put makeup on my inner thoughts, so my sadness doesn’t smear

Don’t confuse the ideal with real

Lost my way inside a whirlpool, feeling empty in my chest

Is this rock coated in mud, a pearl

Who is going to tell you, don’t be so sad

In order to be reborn, I’m dying right now

 

A place I don’t know, in a place that I can’t reach

Is my abandoned spirit

The wind blows sharply, making me crash

And I’m trampled into the ground

The faintly seen color disappeared

My frame that has half fallen away

And I in the Spring, who was so vibrant 

I’ll fade away while longing for him

(down down down)

dead leaves

 

Struggle without condition

It’s not because I have many enemies, I just have no one on my side

Because I didn’t want to get hurt, I became alone

Seeing from the other side, this is such a noisy world

After warming myself with the dusty sunlight, the rain comes

The blue-green leaf changes to red

I couldn’t stand clear of the natural accident

I could fall asleep, I need to readjust my jetlag from emotion

 

Please don’t leave me alone

Leavin me behind, everything fell away I didn’t know

I’m fighting back the biting wind, That’s no way

Abandoned because it’s the last, and I breath in the cold air

Yeah, be well my friends, my house and my soul

Thank goodness everything else is safe

This is the last time, final

And then leave fall, times over

 

A place I don’t know, in a place that I can’t reach

Is my abandoned spirit

The wind blows sharply, making me crash

And I’m trampled into the ground

The faintly seen color disappeared

My frame that has half fallen away

And I in the Spring, who was so vibrant 

I’ll fade away while longing for him

(down down down)

dead leaves

 

 

 

Him, I believe, refers to God. 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a song from 2013. 

 

 

This is from another Zico song (Attention)- this line:

 

'You wouldn't be wrong to call me a psycho.'

 

And then this- 'It only takes a moment to up a person's life.'

 

 

 

 

What I want to say is that no matter how much you hate him, Zico is a human with feelings, and did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason he keeps making mistakes is the too often used- 'they all hate me anyway; may as well give them good reason.'

 

 It just hurts me that people do this to him

Wow I really respect Zico, and I wasn't aware of these lyrics
I hope he's doing okay, why have people been hating on him?
Whilst I listen to his music I don't really keep up with him outside of that so I don't know much
