Lee Suhyun:
깜빡거리는 신호등
굴러다니는 낙엽도
할 일 하는데
난 왜 이럴까?

그대가 없는 밤들도 반짝거리고
가을도 봄이 될 텐데
난 왜 이럴까?
왜 사는 걸까?

Tablo:
할 일, 오늘도 꽤 많았지
설거지, 방 청소, 책상 정리
복잡한 생각 한번 할 것 없이
원위치로 가는 것들
어찌 고마웠는지
밀렸던 자질구레한 일들이 무너진 날 이끄네
네 손이 놓은 내 손을 잡아준
시간의 두 손은 가기 급해
안 읽던 책도
어느새 마지막 한 장을 넘기는 날 발견해
어쩌면 이런 게 상실의 순기능
걱정 마. 난 이렇게 바쁘게 지내니까
내 스케줄표는 가득해
넌 너 할 일만 신경 써
고맙다. 내가 할 일도 하나 줘서

Lee Suhyun:
깜빡거리는 신호등
굴러다니는 낙엽도
할 일 하는데
난 왜 이럴까?

그대가 없는 밤들도 반짝거리고
가을도 봄이 될 텐데
난 왜 이럴까?
왜 사는 걸까?

Mithra Jin:
소파에 누워서 티비를 켜
벌써 삼십분 째 애꿎은 채널만 돌리면서…
던져둔 폰에 울리는 전화벨 소리
누구든 상관없지
약속 잡고서 밖에 나갈 준비를 해
지금은 열한 시 반
예전에는 잠들 시간
요즘은 여기저기서 불러 불려 다니지, 난
바쁜 일상. 오랜만이라서 반가워
정신없는 하루. 불안정함이 나다워
이렇게 써도 항상 남는 게
시간인지 감정인지 오늘과 같을 내일
솔직히 난 두려워
아무리 채워봐도 텅빈 마음 뿐이어서

Lee Suhyun:
깜빡거리는 신호등
굴러다니는 낙엽도
할 일 하는데
난 왜 이럴까?

그대가 없는 밤들도 반짝거리고
가을도 봄이 될 텐데
난 왜 이럴까?
너도 이럴까?

난 왜…

English translation:

Lee Suhyun:
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?

The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
What do I live for?

Tablo:
Again, had quite a bit to do today
Washing the dishes, cleaning my room, tidying my desk
How thankful I was for those that mindlessly returned to their original place
The small chores I’ve left undone are now what guide my broken self
The moment your hands left mine, they were replaced by the rushing hands of time
I find myself flipping through the final pages of books that would’ve been left unread
Perhaps, these are the benefits of heartbreak
Don’t worry, I’m busy as you can see
I’ve got a full schedule. You just worry about yourself
Thanks for the task you left behind for me

Lee Suhyun:
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?

The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
What do I live for?

Mithra Jin:
Lie down on the couch and turn the TV on
Already been flipping through the channels for half an hour…
Hear the abandoned phone ring
Doesn’t matter who. I make plans and get ready to go out
Right now, it’s 11:30. Would’ve normally fallen asleep
These days, I’m invited here and there
Busy life. Been a while, so I welcome it even more
A hectic day. Unstable just like me
I try to use them up but even then one is left untouched
Not sure if it’s my time or my feelings?
Tomorrow will be a rerun of today
Honestly, I’m afraid that my heart remains empty, despite my attempts to fill it up

Lee Suhyun:
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?

The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
Are you like this too?

Why me…
