World of Epik High-Extraordinary Poetry

My computer crashed!! Argh. Now using my cousin's laptop. Cannot open microsoft files etc, terrible. Moreover, I've got a lot of things to do...Ethelonter sentosa, Yishun reading stars, Grant a Wish...o.0
A bit regret to take up so many jobs...Shh! Don't tell my boss. Nonetheless, since I've taken up these posts le, I'll try my very best to achieve the best!! \(^^)/
Haheho...

I always have a sudden urge to listen to Epik High's songs, like today, and I think that's the power of their songs...=P

Let me introduce to you some not-so-famous songs which are really meaningful if you examine the lyrics closely. The lyrics they write are always so descriptive and 'goosebumpy'.



Wordkill
Do you want me to stop breathing?
Do you want my eyes to close?
Do you want for a large nail to penetrate
The heart that used to be filled with you?

Do you want me to be locked in the dark?
Do you want the door to my heart to close?
Do you want me to swallow the blood
Of the mouth that used to kiss me warmly?

Do you want me to mess up on everything?
Do you want all my paths to be forked?
Do you want my two feet to be dipped in
The pieces of glass called you?

Do you want me to be hurt so much?
Do you want me to hurt till I died?
Do you want me to hide these scars
Under this mask called love?

Those words, words, words of yours
Those cruel words
Those heart-stabbing words
Those blade-like words

Those words, words, words of yours
Those cruel words
Those words that make me cry
Those words that kill me

Baby just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up
Baby just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up
Shh...

Do you want my hands to be tied up?
Do you want my feet to be buried in the ground?
Do you want the rage to ball up
Inside the heart that used to cry for you?

Do you want me to hide my shadow?
Do you want me to breathe as if I were dead?
Do you want me to steal the good-byes
From the skies we swore to for eternity?

Do you want me to dream a broken dream?
Do you want me to dance within this pain?
Do you want to set fire
Onto the piece that used to shine with you?

Do you want everything to be twisted?
Do you want me to be led to the end?
Do you want the link of the thin chain
Of our destiny to be broken?

Those words, words, words of yours
Those cruel words
Those heart-stabbing words
Those blade-like words

Those words, words, words of yours
Those cruel words
Those words that make me cry
Those words that kill me

Baby just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up

Baby just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut up
Shh..

I really love the lyrics! Although I have never experienced something like this, just listening the music and reading the lyrics makes me feel down. =( It gives a struggling feeling, describing a person who struggles to break through the prison of cruel words shot by loved one.




This one is more cheem...XD
Really pei4 fu2 their writing skills. How can they write such beautiful lyrics? I'm sure the original korean lyrics will be much more nicer compared to the translated version. I hope I can one day master korean language and so able to appreciate their poetry.




If you have come this far, most probably you like Epik High's songs/lyrics just like me. ^.=
So I'll leave the BEST for you...Haheho!!
This song "Fallen Blossoms" is really an awesome piece of poem. Study the lyrics closely and deeply, they are really beautiful and pure.
I love the part:
"The dream of a blind man grasping rainbow.
The dream of an orphan fallen asleep to a sweet lullaby.
The dream of a bad son turning back time. ...
The dream of a mute singing a song out loud.
The dream of a deaf man smiling to the whispers of the one he loves..."

They really inspire me to take up my pen and write something down now! But I still do not have the ability. X)

"Live and die for this DREAM"
