Monologue Lyrics (English Translation) – Jae Yeon

I’m looking for the forgotten me
Reflected in memory, me at that time
It’s becoming blurry, my once clear self
Dreams that filled countless nights

I won’t look back
The days I lived in danger
shaking somewhere
The crying image of myself drifting away

My sighs are piling up
Bring back the happy me that was hidden again
I will hold you in my arms and not let you go so that you do not fall apart.
Even after the night passes
I was not good at conveying it
My story, I write it here
In those flowing stars
Even my dawns that drifted away

My sighs are piling up
Bring back the happy me that was hidden again
I will hold you in my arms and not let you go so that you do not fall apart.
Even after the night passes

In my broken day
I’m talking to the hidden self again, it’s okay
I won’t let you fall, I won’t hold you in my arms
Even after the night passes

The first paragraph speaks to the search for one’s lost identity, symbolized by the “forgotten me.” It reflects on memories of a past self, now blurred and distant, along with the dreams that once fueled hope and ambition.

The second paragraph delves into a refusal to dwell on past hardships and danger, even as the memory of those difficult times fades. The protagonist acknowledges the image of their former self, crying and drifting away, but chooses not to linger on it.

In the third paragraph, the accumulation of sighs suggests a weight of longing and sadness. There’s a plea to rediscover happiness, to embrace and protect the hidden self from falling apart, even as time passes.

The fourth paragraph reflects on struggles with communication and the desire to share one’s story, perhaps with the universe symbolized by “flowing stars.” It acknowledges the fleeting nature of time and the dawn of new beginnings.

The fifth paragraph returns to the theme of accumulating sighs and the longing to reclaim happiness. The protagonist vows to hold onto their inner self, ensuring it doesn’t unravel even as the night, symbolizing challenges and darkness, passes.

The final paragraph addresses the brokenness of the present, yet finds solace in dialogue with the hidden self. There’s reassurance that despite the difficulties, they won’t let themselves falter or be lost, even as time moves forward.
