I can't believe how poetic these lyrics are... I mean I had a feeling because of the ethereal feel of the beat and the song itself but... now, even with just an english translation, more meaning has been pumped into the song and it feels even more alive now. I love this song. I can't even put into words how much I love it. I wish I could meet Tablo and tell him how much I appreciate him and all the things he's written--short stories, lyrics, everything.
창밖에 반짝이는 수천개의 투명 거미 잠든 도시에 잿빛 거미줄을 치고 한숨처럼 책상 위에 가라앉은 수필 원고 더미 허리와 연필심을 굽혀 밑줄을 치고 '어쩌면 이미 흩어진 꿈을 쥐고 날 속이면서 빈손이 가득 찬 착각에 세상을 놓치면서 살아왔던 건 아닐까?' 극적인 생각 어느새 보니 공책 여백에 끄적인 생각 내 꿈의 적인 생각, 내 안에 숨쉬는가? 갈수록 나답지 않게 세상의 눈치를 봐 클수록 부끄러워지는 부모의 손처럼 내 손과 꿈의 매듭이 쇠약해 풀리는가? 그건 안돼. 분명한 게 이 눈 먼 안개 같은 현실의 바람이 세상을 휩쓸어갈 때 찢겨진 허수아비라도 난 버틸 수가 있는데 버려진 가을밤이라도 난 지킬 수가 있는데 며칠 째 집중이 안돼. 작은 손틈 새 물 한줄기 같애, 손에 잡히던 그 모든 게 어쩌면 나조차도 모르게 펜을 못 놓는게 그저 눈치를 보는게 겁나는 건가 고민돼 [Hook] 가질 수 없는 꿈이지만 I have a dream 비틀거리는 꿈이지만 I have a dream 버림 받은 꿈이지만 I have a dream Live and die for this dream [Verse 2] 세상이 등을 져버린 꿈, 너무나 더럽혀진 꿈 찢겨진 우산처럼 젖은 땅에 버려진 꿈 그저 버러지 꿈, 지워진 낙서뿐이 걸 You say, "Dream, 잊혀진 단어 뿐인 걸" 하지만 난 오늘도 헛된 꿈을 꾼다 비록 어둠 속이지만 다시 눈을 뜬다 I will never give up, I will never give up I have a dream 내 꿈은 하늘을 걷는 난장이의 꿈 무지개를 손에 거머쥔 장님의 꿈 달콤한 자장가에 잠이 든 고아의 꿈 시간을 뒤로 되돌린 불효자의 꿈 내 꿈은 세상의 모든 어머니의 꿈 내 꿈은 크게 노래 부르는 벙어리의 꿈 내 꿈은 사랑하는 사람의 작은 속삭임에 미소를 짓는 귀머거리의 꿈.

Korean hip hop is the best in the world. I think the lyric for this song is so great is because it's by Epik High. Their poetic ideas are some of the brightest in the industry. Thanks so much for translating the lyrics while keeping the meanings behind the song.
No one beats Tablo's lyrical genius and depth.I have never seen such refined and beatifully somber poetry in any other rapper and his punchlines are forever quotable.Few fellow rappers have truly grasped and dismantled today's society like he has.I hate EH joining YG,a company that is a follower of trends,however talented some of its artists may be.I'm happy they gained so much popularity,but i will forever favor dark,pissed off,brilliant Epik High attacking society and redefining verbal mastery
초등학생때 들은 노래.... 고3이된 지금 들으니 이렇게 소름이 돋을수가..그땐 별 생각 하지 않으면서 들었는데....... 정말 에픽하이 노래는 하나하나 다 들어봐야해 ㅋㅋ 어떤 명곡이 숨어있는지 모르거든;; 요새 슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다에서 사랑받고 있으니 다시 힙합씬에 돌아올 날이 머지않다 에픽하이..! 가급적 미쓰라 진도 같이 부탁해 형들 !!
his lyrics are so deep, yet it touches so many people's hearts, including mine! this song is a masterpiece... it talks about real things that people go through, and it's just so beautiful.
Tablo meshes the counterparts of Rimbaud and Nas together, creating a new breath of life into the mic. Any poet, striving MC, or person in general can relate to the struggles in this song. To see those dreams, that once felt feasible, slowly drift away after coming to face the harsh reality that the world doesn't embrace artists.
Epik High stands out of all the other hip hop and rap groups because their lyrics are real and pure...poetry being sang to you. And the thing with Epik High is, you dont have to understand them to like them. i loved their songs before i read the lyrics, and now that ive read them i love Epik high so much more. They also influence my poetry :) simply extraordinary. Never stop Epik High!! Never!! :)
Tablo is made of pure amazing. Seriously. He never fails to amaze me. This song is FANTASTIC. I have to meet this guy, I admire him immensely. He puts his heart, his everything into his music & it gives it quality that other artists lack. I Love You Tablo~!
They still do? Fever's End was an amazing album and contains soe of the most introspective, meaningful songs I've heard. Also, everybody acts like they never released happy/commercial music pre 99 but how do you think they got popular? It was through upbeat mainstream songs like Love Love Love, Fly, Paris, etc, etc. They've always done both but only now people decide they're "selling out"?
The lyrics and mellow tune of this song bring tears to my eyes, it's (in my view) absolutely what music was created to do, to be about. This song is amazing in so many ways.
People like you can justify the album as a change in style. What you can't deny is an obvious drop in quality in terms of music artistry - not many would argue that their latest album exceeds any of their previous works. Good music is genuinely appreciated. Look back at their old videos, and you'll see people praising the songs as 'beautiful', and even commenting on the nice instrumentals, and the 'sick flows and rhymes'.
There will be artists that stay confined to the genre they started off with in the first place, and there will be others who will experiment in other genres for whatever reason it may be. Same goes for fans, there will be those who support the artist for producing that specific genre that they started off with, and there are fans who support the artist no matter what genre of music they put out.
You sound very angsty about 99. I agree with EbonyWaters on the fact that Epik High, since their debut, have always been exploring genres and I always though what gave them a certain flavour was that they experimented well.
What I'm trying to say is, this debate between you guys can never end, the only resolve is to agree to disagree. I for one, feel that I can and should appreciate their genius in being able to produce real, original hip-hop songs, and at the same time please the mainstream consumers. What I dislike is people automatically "providing constructive criticism" when the artist changes their style. But I don't intend to impose that upon you. End.
Particularly one I had shunned was Don't Hate Me because I frankly thought the music video was stupid because of what they were wearing (and many other fans did too). I later realized it was not crappy as I thought it was and many of us could learn from it - the lesson that one does not need to please everyone, be popular, like majority of the planet have been obsessed with once or more in their lifetime.
I loved this song before I even knew what they were saying. And now that I actually know what they're saying, I love it even more! (Epik High is one of the few groups (both foreign and in English) that I can say that for...)
They are always full of creativity and they also give me creativity. I love Epik high so damn much because their music and the lyrics, their songs aren't always about love, it's about life that's why it's so good. I'm so glad to know Epik High xD (somehow...) they inspire me to write my own lyrics make my own songs. :) I really hope to meet them once in my life so I can say thank you ^^
I've followed Epik High since High Society, and perhaps many people don't realize that they've been through a lot (they only received humongous attention due to Tablo's Stanford controversy). They've been constantly battling censorship and always been put in the backseat. They've been fighting to be noticed for so long. If they wanted to go mainstream and make their lives easier, they would have done that a long, long time ago, when they were considered young.
Please play this song for my funeral. My eyes will be closed, at least my ears will be open, I want this song to be last thing I hear before I leave this earth!
Okay. I'd like to bring up a point though---why do you think the quality dropped? The lyrics are just as meaningful and I feel that the positive feel they have with 99 was a beautiful way to come back after all the darkness surrounding the group. I'd like to make a stand that just because one doesn't make art out of depression and sadness, doesn't mean it's of less quality.
It's an unattainable dream but I have a dream. It's a wavering dream, but I have a dream. It's an abandoned dream, but I have a dream. Live and die for this dream.
"learning how to speak," I mean by it's not like they don't know how to speak as they grow older, but the whole hierarchical structure and their change in jobs requires them to speak in different tones and more sophisticated words
I can't believe how poetic these lyrics are... I mean I had a feeling because of the ethereal feel of the beat and the song itself but... now, even with just an english translation, more meaning has been pumped into the song and it feels even more alive now.
I love this song. I can't even put into words how much I love it. I wish I could meet Tablo and tell him how much I appreciate him and all the things he's written--short stories, lyrics, everything.
Still the best. Epik high for life
창밖에 반짝이는 수천개의 투명 거미
잠든 도시에 잿빛 거미줄을 치고
한숨처럼 책상 위에 가라앉은 수필 원고 더미
허리와 연필심을 굽혀 밑줄을 치고
'어쩌면 이미 흩어진 꿈을 쥐고 날 속이면서
빈손이 가득 찬 착각에 세상을 놓치면서
살아왔던 건 아닐까?' 극적인 생각
어느새 보니 공책 여백에 끄적인 생각
내 꿈의 적인 생각, 내 안에 숨쉬는가?
갈수록 나답지 않게 세상의 눈치를 봐
클수록 부끄러워지는 부모의 손처럼
내 손과 꿈의 매듭이 쇠약해 풀리는가?
그건 안돼. 분명한 게 이 눈 먼 안개
같은 현실의 바람이 세상을 휩쓸어갈 때
찢겨진 허수아비라도 난 버틸 수가 있는데
버려진 가을밤이라도 난 지킬 수가 있는데
며칠 째 집중이 안돼. 작은 손틈 새
물 한줄기 같애, 손에 잡히던 그 모든 게
어쩌면 나조차도 모르게 펜을 못 놓는게
그저 눈치를 보는게 겁나는 건가 고민돼
[Hook]
가질 수 없는 꿈이지만 I have a dream
비틀거리는 꿈이지만 I have a dream
버림 받은 꿈이지만 I have a dream
Live and die for this dream
[Verse 2]
세상이 등을 져버린 꿈, 너무나 더럽혀진 꿈
찢겨진 우산처럼 젖은 땅에 버려진 꿈
그저 버러지 꿈, 지워진 낙서뿐이 걸
You say, "Dream, 잊혀진 단어 뿐인 걸"
하지만 난 오늘도 헛된 꿈을 꾼다
비록 어둠 속이지만 다시 눈을 뜬다
I will never give up, I will never give up
I have a dream
내 꿈은 하늘을 걷는 난장이의 꿈
무지개를 손에 거머쥔 장님의 꿈
달콤한 자장가에 잠이 든 고아의 꿈
시간을 뒤로 되돌린 불효자의 꿈
내 꿈은 세상의 모든 어머니의 꿈
내 꿈은 크게 노래 부르는 벙어리의 꿈
내 꿈은 사랑하는 사람의 작은 속삭임에
미소를 짓는 귀머거리의 꿈. Dream
[Hook]

POISON IVY CREW 2017😄
Old and gold, that's totally describe this song.
The music and lyrics for this particular piece are pure genius. Everything fits together seamlessly and it's beautiful to listen to.
I cried when I read the lyrics. Tablo writes the most meaningful songs with deep meanings. Its's genius that he comes up with this
It's simply music. There's no point in classifying it because it transcends all genres. It's just pure and simple music and beauty.
his lyrics are so deep, yet it touches so many people's hearts, including mine! this song is a masterpiece... it talks about real things that people go through, and it's just so beautiful.
Wow... this sound is beautiful. I absolutely love Epik High. They're simply amazing. :)Their lyrics, their beats... everything. Just awesome.

Epik High, never stop sharing your art with us!
2017 and it's still good!
Tablo is made of pure amazing. Seriously. He never fails to amaze me. This song is FANTASTIC. I have to meet this guy, I admire him immensely. He puts his heart, his everything into his music & it gives it quality that other artists lack. I Love You Tablo~!
Passionate, articulate & definitely one of the best "rap" artists in the world today. Sheer poetry.
에픽하이 몇년이지나도 갈수록 기대된다 여전히너무좋다ㅜㅜ
I am entranced by this song. One of the best, it's so relaxing and gives out an amazing message. great translations!
2019 still here, Epik high is makes music for the soul

thank you so much for this translation!!! i've been looking & i realized you have it.
surprised this video does not have a lot more videos. This is really worth hearing.

I love this song so much and listening to the lyrics make me love it even more. I am never disappointed by Epik High.
This ENTIRE album was really good. I couldn't stop listening to it for a good month or so!
God...this is by far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
You sound very angsty about 99. I agree with EbonyWaters on the fact that Epik High, since their debut, have always been exploring genres and I always though what gave them a certain flavour was that they experimented well.
This whole song is very poetic, but the lyrics at 4:30 just hits me right in the gut.
So powerful.
These lyrics explain my life.
What I'm trying to say is, this debate between you guys can never end, the only resolve is to agree to disagree. I for one, feel that I can and should appreciate their genius in being able to produce real, original hip-hop songs, and at the same time please the mainstream consumers.

I LOVE this song! Great lyrics and sound. Epik High can do any style of music.
whoa this video was uploaded on my birthday. i guess its the best belated present i ever received.
Who still watchin this in 2014?
my go to song when i'm feeling sad :)
2018
nah, nah it's 2024
i think it helps to pause it and then repeat it again to fully understand, just because the subs and the meaning is so dense.
Particularly one I had shunned was Don't Hate Me because I frankly thought the music video was stupid because of what they were wearing (and many other fans did too). I later realized it was not crappy as I thought it was and many of us could learn from it - the lesson that one does not need to please everyone, be popular, like majority of the planet have been obsessed with once or more in their lifetime.
no problem, how could the world go on without songs like this?^^
awesome group
I loved this song before I even knew what they were saying. And now that I actually know what they're saying, I love it even more! (Epik High is one of the few groups (both foreign and in English) that I can say that for...)
love this song. is so encouraging actually.
"It's an unattainable dream but I have a dream"
nice. EPIK
Such a beautiful song, thanks a lot for subbing this.
First Korean Band I listened to, back in 2010. but they disbanded, so happy they're coming back. :D
I used to get goose bumps whenever I listen to this song of Epik High.. it's just an art
This song helped me start over, thank you, Epik High. ♥
tablo's work is just lyrical genius
They are always full of creativity and they also give me creativity. I love Epik high so damn much because their music and the lyrics, their songs aren't always about love, it's about life that's why it's so good. I'm so glad to know Epik High xD (somehow...) they inspire me to write my own lyrics make my own songs. :) I really hope to meet them once in my life so I can say thank you ^^
Epik High makes me want to learn Korean now.
Their music is, from the music itself and lyrics, art.
One of my absolute favorites by Epik High
most beautiful song I've heard~
GOD! so beautiful!!!
I just love them
this song and pieces of you are my favorite :D
@MultiSoundbox It's on Itunes support this beautiful group :)
One of my favorite songs ^^v Very nice job on the translation =)
simply breathtaking.. blo(w)s my mind everytime.
@simpatic14 : I know right. Tablo has a bachelor degree in english literature so it makes sense why their songs are like poetry. That's what I think.
I've followed Epik High since High Society, and perhaps many people don't realize that they've been through a lot (they only received humongous attention due to Tablo's Stanford controversy). They've been constantly battling censorship and always been put in the backseat. They've been fighting to be noticed for so long. If they wanted to go mainstream and make their lives easier, they would have done that a long, long time ago, when they were considered young.
the chorus is really beautiful
fallen blossoms....... its subject name so beautiful...
i love the lyrics... it's so touching i almost cried.
this song makes me sad because i have no dream :(

3 years ago I left a commnt on this video w/ the account of mhay15 & I'm still here today. EPIK HIGH you must be doing something right!
this is truly poetry in verse,
epik high till i die.
the lyrics to this are so touching! ...i cried when reading the lyrics at 2:25-2:50.
Please play this song for my funeral.
My eyes will be closed, at least my ears will be open, I want this song to be last thing I hear before I leave this earth!
Such a beautiful song!
Epik high are amazing!
Wow!...This band is like their name....THey are JuZ Epic Man......Love these guys!
AHHHH~~~~i just simply love their song!! the lyrics are touching~~~
I'm in love with Epik High's music ♥
Okay. I'd like to bring up a point though---why do you think the quality dropped?

꿈같은 거 이젠 모르겠고 매일을 그지같이 살다가...아침에 눈떴는데 이 노래가 귀에 맴돌아서

This is simply beautiful~
Too much emotion. It's too good.
this is poetry with rhythm and a beat
immortal technique and epic high spits the best lyrics
It's an unattainable dream but I have a dream.
It's a wavering dream, but I have a dream.
It's an abandoned dream, but I have a dream.
Live and die for this dream.
Always love this!!
WHAT THIS IS KOREAN??? YES ACTUAL KOREAN MUISC NOT SOME COPY-AMERICAN-POP-SHIT YESSS I BEEN SEARCHING FOR U FOR A WHILE
Wow... the lyrics are so real.
"learning how to speak," I mean by it's not like they don't know how to speak as they grow older, but the whole hierarchical structure and their change in jobs requires them to speak in different tones and more sophisticated words
@coreadelsur1983 Icarus falls is one of the song in this album.
this song... It's like someone ripped out my heart and uploaded it on youtube...
you know, I usually don't like rap, but this song is really really cool! :)
Tablo, you are my hero.
This is an Awesome song. The Lyrics are great
this song is a masterpiece.
Tablo is good at composing songs.
Look at the proportion between like and dislikes
...just insane...
2017 and still here.
the lyric... is EPIC
@lllfxguy [pieces, part one] and also [breakdown] too.
Beautiful! 💜
Yes, I always think like that too.
