EPIK HIGH - 난 사람이 제일 무서워 (People Scare Me) [English Translation]
[Verse 1: Tablo]
Lennon died in 1980, when I was born
I always only ‘imagine’ the worst
So I’m scared
(People scare me the most)
[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
What do you expect in this day and age, when ripe is treated as rotten?
The rice plant only gets cut when it bows down
I can’t breathe
(People scare me the most)
[Verse 3: Tablo]
I don’t want to hear “Rest in peace” from those who took away the peace and quiet
They tell you to leave while you’re being applauded
When in reality they’ll only applaud once you leave
I find that quite funny
(People scare me the most)
[Verse 4: Mithra Jin]
I can’t rest easy
I know now that we don’t know what lies ahead
Despite everyone pretending to be a judge
[Refrain #1: Tablo]
Sometimes to get to God
First you gotta meet the Devil
(People scare me the most)
Sometimes to get to God
First you gotta meet the Devil
[Verse 5: Tablo]
They say I don’t know how the world works
Even though I’m quite aware - thanks to the adults scolding me
That the world’s going crazy
That’s why (People scare me the most)
[Verse 6: Mithra Jin]
It’s the age of the strong man now, but he must be too weak to lift everybody up at once
He must be so quiet that he can’t let justice be heard
We at war
(People scare me the most)
Among countless blessings of the right to know
The media makes you forget your right to live
Do not believe the sweet tongue of those who crawl about
It’s a lie
(People scare me the most)
[Bridge: Tablo]
The pastor who laughed and rambled on about how
Death is the cure, at dad’s funeral
Fuck you. Your God’s on sick leave
The only thing in the sky was the sky itself
(People scare me the most)
[Verse 7: Mithra Jin, Tablo]
You can trust nobody
'Cuz you are fucked if you think that it’s gonna be okay
Imagination is free, but you can’t even imagine freedom
[Refrain #2: Tablo]
This world scares me
(People scare me the most)
I’m face to face with the Devil
[Outro: Mithra Jin, Tablo]
Never a peaceful day. My diary almost goes out of print every year
Right now, I’m on my 37th edition. Nothing is clear
We’ve created these songs with scars, not sounds
Although bloodstained, we’ve done something wonderful
I can rest easy
I can rest easy
Be with me, God
