"one" by epik high

At the time of writing this, I must say... I'm thoroughly impressed with Epik High's fifth album and honestly didn't believe it was possible to do better than their previous ones. I was, of course, delightfully wrong – "One" proves to be one of the better tracks with such a haunting message attached to it.

Time is tickin′. T-Time is tickin′, tickin′.

그대, 눈물이 볼에 쏟아지는걸,
Geudae, noonmoolee borae ssodajineungeol,
You, the tears spilling onto your cheek,

이유 없이 쏟아지는걸
Eeyoo eobshi ssodajineungeol
Overflowing without reason

아무도 모르죠,
Ahmoodoh moreujyo,
Nobody knows,

심장 속에 유리조각 폭풍이 몰아치는걸
Shimjang sokae yoorijogak pokpoongee morachineungeol
Shards of a glass storm blow violently in your heart

상처가 병이 돼서
Sangcheoga byeongee dwaeseo
Because the wounds turn into a disease

모든 문이 벽이 돼서
Modeun moonee byeokee dwaeseo
Because all doors become walls

거울속의 내가 적이 돼서 아프죠?
Geo-ool sokae naega jeokee dwaeseo ahpeujyo?
Doesn't it hurt to have become the enemy of your own reflection?

아무도 그댈 모르게 가두고
Ahmoodoh geudael moreugae gadoogoh
Guarding yourself so no one can know you

숨을 조르게 놔두고
Soomeul joreugae nwadoogoh
Leaving yourself to suffocate

끝을 고르게 만들죠. (참 나쁘죠.)
Kkeuteul goreugae mandeuljyo. (Cham nabbeujyo.)
Forcing you to choose an end. (How terrible.)

이 세상 속에 설 이유 없앴죠
Ee saesangsokae seol eeyoo eobsaetjyo
With no reason to stand in this world

돌아 갈 길을 선택도 없이 마냥 걷겠죠
Doragal gileul seontaekdo eobshi manyang geodgaetjyo
Walking all the way, left without a choice in the path you can take when you turn back

네 마음보다 그대 숨이 먼저 멎겠죠
Ni maeumboda geudae soomi meonjeo meotgaetjyo
Your breath will stop before your heart

상처... 흉터... 눈물이... 흐르고
Sangcheo... hyoongteo... noonmoolee... heureugo
Wounds... scars... tears... falling

Translation Note: This song appears to be about a girl on the brink of suicide, traveling to the deepest levels of pain within her world. Although really depressing, the song appears to be more uplifting, as it gives one hope; as long as you let time heal your wounds, you'll survive the harshness of life.
