Adult Child English Lyrics

Rap Monster)

Ah.. I'm 20 now

Now that I'm actually 20.. It's nothing special

So what am I supposed to do now?

Jin)

I'm 20 (now) and it's a good day

I've become a free body

But what is this, there's nothing to it I've only become an adult

I've only become an adult, I've only become an adult

I've only become an average adult, The average adult is what I've become

An adult

Rap Monster)

Some have gone to whichever college, some have gone off to military service

Some are repeating a grade and some are looking for work

The tender touch of our families, that sweet romance has come at its end

Haste and clumsiness are all what's left

The weight of being 20, I thought would be like a feather

Now it's a boulder that pins me down, the regret at age 20

Oh no! All the Peter Pans who've freshly jumped out of fairytale books

It must've never existed from the start, this Neverland they dream about

A little sense of liberation, a little sense of regret (for an unfulfilled wish or goal)

A little sense of hostility towards this world that's strange to me

Because I'm now an adult I want to keep a straight face and play it cool

Youth and naivete, they're both in vain, really

Eyah..Would you look at my lyrics, I've matured

A friend who's been hired is lifting files (T/N: 'seoryucheol') instead of being in season (T/N: 'cheol', literal translation of colloquial phrase for 'growing up')

I was once a young adult but now I'm an adult child

Mom's not around to take care of me, I'm skipping meals

Jin)

I'm 20 (now) and it's a good day

I've become a free body

But what is this, there's nothing to it I've only become an adult

I've only become an adult, I've only become an adult

I've only become an average adult, The average adult is what I've become

An adult

What every men in their 20s experience is a deep sense of remorse

Fearing military draft notes, the things that once felt so far away

Become reality. They said "[North and South Korea] would be unified by the time you've grown up"

That's what mom said and I had completely believed her.

But the reality is that [I'm] an able-bodied first-rate soldier material

This friend who's perfectly healthy is a fourth-rate so why am I [first-rate]? (T/N: referring to physical examination results for drafts, those with low rates are excused from service)

How could I be so uselessly healthy

Civil duties? it's a juvenile death sentence

I envy and envy the nation's lowest 10%

It blows away this flowery adolescence, I'm evading military service

The roaring 20s, time when everything is luscious

They try to set fire to flower-blossomed youth

The moment I graduated after the hellish exams

I attend another school, its name is Society

Applause for courage to malesin their 20s who were forced to break from Society

And a handshake of gratitude to the nation's 60,000 officers and men of the armed forces

Outro)

Turned 20 and started attending a school, its name is Life

But there were no teachers there

Some will repeat a grade and some will be drafted

But do not forget this time of blissful ignorance

Adulthood, it's nothing, really

Adulthood, it's nothing, really

It's nothing like how it seems, really

Really, it's nothing like how it seems
