Outro : Ego

매일 돌아가본다고 
I go back every day

그때의 나로
To the me of the past

포기를 선택한 삶으로 
To a life where I had chosen to give up

날 놓아본다고
I let myself go

but 세상에는 있지 
But there are, in the world,

변하지 않는 마 진실
some unchanged truths

시간은 앞으로 흐른다는 것
The fact that time moves forward

만약은 없단 것
The fact that there are no ifs

까마득 잊을만하면 생각나 그 시절
Almost forgotten memories from long ago come to my mind

악마의 손길과 운명의 recall
The devil’s touch and fate’s recall

궁금해 아직도 왜 다시 불렀는지도
I’m still curious, why was I called upon again?

매일 ask me, guess it, 채찍, repeat oh 
Every day, ask me, guess it, whip it, repeat oh

변할 건 없다며 결국 또
Nothing will change, so in the end

걱정은 억지로 잠궈, close
I force myself to lock up my worries, close

‘How much love? How much joy?’

위안을 주며 stay calm, alone
I comfort myself and stay calm, alone

그래 I don’t care 전부 내 
Yeah well, I don’t care, it’s all

운명의 선택 so we’re here
chosen by my fate so we’re here

내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin’
Look ahead of me, the way is shinin’

Keep goin’ now

(Ready, set and begin)

그 길로 길로 길로
That way way way

Wherever my way

오직 ego, ego, ego
Only ego, ego, ego

Just trust myself

문득 스쳐 가는 j-hope이 아닌 정호석의 삶
It suddenly passes me by, my life as Jung Hoseok, not j-hope

희망이란 없고 후회만 가득했겠지 till I die
It must’ve been without hope, filled only with regrets till I die

내 춤은 뜬 구름을 잡을 뿐
My dance only chases after pipe dreams*

나의 꿈을 탓하고 살아 숨쉬는 것에 의문을 
Blaming my dreams, asking why I live and breathe

Oh my God

Uh time goes by

7년의 걱정이 드디어 입 밖으로
7 years of worries are finally out in the open

모두 해소되는 핍박
All oppression is resolved

가장 믿던 그들의 답은 내 심장으로
The answers of those I trust the most go into my heart

‘하나뿐인 hope 하나뿐인 soul’
‘Just one hope, just one soul’

‘하나뿐인 smile 하나뿐인 너’
‘Just one smile, just one you’

세상 그 진실에 확실해진 답
A definite answer to the truth of the world

변하지 않는 그 어떤 나
No part of me changes

Right

이젠 I don’t care 전부 내 
I don’t care now, it’s all

운명의 선택 so we’re here
chosen by my fate so we’re here

내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin’
Look ahead of me, the way is shinin’

Keep goin’ now

(Ready, set and begin)

그 길로 길로 길로
That way way way

Wherever my way

오직 ego, ego, ego
Only ego, ego, ego

Just trust myself

믿는대로 
What I believe in,

가는대로 (그 길로, 길로, 길로)
the way I go (that way, way, way)

운명이 됐고 
It became my fate,

중심이 됐어 (wherever my way)
it became my core (wherever my way)

힘든대로
As tough as it was

또 슬픈대로 (ego ego ego)
As sad as it was (ego ego ego)

위로가 됐고 
It was comforting,

날 알게 해줬어 (just trust myself)
I came to know myself (just trust myself)
