I turned 21 at the beginning of September and I decided that, starting from this year, I would write a song about my feelings and my life on my birthdays. I hope that in the future, I'll be able to listen to this song and say "woow... I just had to trust the process". 


LYRICS

I'm 21 and I'm still alone in my bed
Isn't there anyone to tell me that I'll be okay
Sometimes I feel empty inside but I can't even cry
Sad for no reason
And nothing to numb the pain
Seasons come and go but my sky is always gray
And I spend my days wondering when my life will finally change
I want to find you
And I'll keep on running until I finally do find you
Wow 

- c h o r u s -
Everyday is the same
The hellos and goodbyes come out of an empty mind
I walk just to stay sane
But each step I take make me wanna run to escape 
Until I'm whole again
I want to feel something
And fly away
I want to know who I am 
Mmh 

I'm 21
And I don't know what I should do
Isn't there anyone to tell me that I'll make it through
Sometimes I just pause and look at the sky wondering if somehow it is all meant to be 

Should I listen to me or should I let it be
Do I have the power to let my heart choose my own destiny
Can somebody tell me
If I am the reader or the author of my own story
Tell me... 

Monday, Tuesday, Sunday, I say 

- c h o r u s -
Everyday is the same
The hellos and goodbyes come out of an empty mind
I walk just to stay sane
But each step I take make me want to run to escape 
Until I'm whole again
I want to feel something
And fly away
I want to know who I am 

Wanna run away from here
Wanna go and face my fears
If I don't do it now then I don't know when I'll find me
The one hiding in the dark
Wishing on a shooting star
One day I won't be scared of showing who I really am 

Wanna run away from here
Wanna go and face my fears
If I don't do it now then I don't know when I'll find me
The one hiding in the dark
Wishing on a shooting star
One day I won't be scared of showing who I really am

I tried to portray the complexity but also the beauty of love in this song with the story of a woman who broke up with the man she loves. Though their first attempt failed, she wants to try to get in a relationship with him again even if it means getting hurt. She isn't scared to get vulnerable and risk it all because love is worth the pain 


Lyrics:

These clouds
Remind me of the first snow of December
When we held hands and promised to stay together
No doubts
When we both said I love you for the first time
Never thought that it would be the last time 

I still feel the cold air on my cheeks
The snowflakes falling down as I blink
Will you follow my steps as you did on that day?
Would you go through winter again if I ask you to stay?
Would you accept a sour dinner hoping for the better? 


CHORUS

I know I'm asking for too much
The truth is, I don't understand my feelings
But I can't escape the fact that I miss your touch
I really wanna rewrite the ending
We may fly too close to the sun again
Fall down and drown in the ocean
Break what's already damaged
Walk on a fragile edge
But I want to try
No matter what it takes
No matter what it breaks
I want to try
I want to try 

These waves
Break on the rocks like our hearts in the winter
Once warm and full but the next day empty and cold yeah
When the round us becomes linear I
When the blind trust gets broken by lies
When the smooth skin is covered with scars
Even then, I still want you in my arms 


CHORUS

I know I'm asking for too much
The truth is, I don't understand my feelings
But I can't escape the fact that I miss your touch
I really wanna rewrite the ending
We may fly too close to the sun again
Fall down and drown in the ocean
Break what's already damaged
Walk on a fragile edge
But I want to try
No matter what it takes
No matter what it breaks
I want to try
I want to try
I want to try 

I know we might end up even more broken
I know that if it fails, I'll never be forgiven
But love is never about walking on a straight road
We have to get lost to love each other even more 


CHORUS

I know I'm asking for too much
I'm trying to understand my feelings
Our goodbyes were a little rough
I really wanna rewrite the ending
We may fly too close to the sun again
Fall down and drown in the ocean
Break what's already damaged
Walk on a fragile edge
But I want to try
No matter what it takes
No matter what it breaks
I want to try
I want to try
Because you're worth the fall


Try (because you're worth the fall)

Heyyyy !! I am back with a song that I made a long time ago. I had a clear idea of the type of song I wanted so I finished it very quickly. As for the lyrics, I tend to think that the songs that are not ballads can be about literally anything. With that in mind, I started to write about a situation I never experienced, a break-up. Unlike my other song "Try", this break-up has several phases. The state of missing your ex and idealizing the time spent with him. The realization that it didn't work because of him and not because of you. And then a state of frustration because you think that he should be the one who is broken hearted, not you.

With that said, I'll let you enjoy the song :)

LYRICS:
I just want to break it
I just want to break it
I just want to break it

You win, I forfeit
You told me you had all the aces from the start
But I thought I could win this time
Now I'm defeated
I said that I would get over you in no time
The truth is I wish you were mine and

I'm forced to try
To spend my nights
Without reminiscing the time when you were mine
Time goes by
I fantasize

I'm losing my mind every day, every night
I am falling apart when you're flying so high
Your smell on the sheets and the places we kissed, everything still seems to real 
Oooh

And when I open my eyes
I already miss the night 
Oh Why?

I thought you loved me
You used to write my name on every empty page
I can't believe how you changed
Does it make you happy?
When you hear that I'm still alone and miserable, waiting all day for your call 
"It's me, now call me back"

I'm forced to try 
To live my life
Though I know the past two years with you were a lie
We said goodbye 
You didn't cry

I wish I could write a break-up song
Singing loud, saying I hated you all along
the hatred I feel it is there, it is real
But I did love you back then
Why?

I see no pain in your heart 
It is so full and so warm, I want to break it all





Break It

Brushing the dust of the hourglass
Memories escaping from the night
Moments you cherished for eternity
Slowly are fading

Promise the stars
Promise the stars

Fly
Don't stay with me
Cry
Don't let me see

Promise the stars
We once believed in
Watch from afar
Whoo
I'll
Go to the other side
Won’t you hold on to me

Promise the stars
Watch from afar

Will you remember me ?

Promise the Stars

I've been thinking about the best "method" to create a song for more than a year now. I watched interviews of famous songwriters, tried the different ways I heard of, but the question "should I write the lyrics before the melody or the melody before the lyrics?" remained unanswered. I found my answer: who cares? You can't be wrong. Art should not be about finding the best way but finding a way true to yourself. My thoughts are always all over the place so my way of creating also is, but I've realized that it's okay. 

Before going to sleep I often create little scenarios in my mind (I bet we all do that). These scenarios inspire me to write songs like this one. The title is straight forward, the lyrics also are, it's very simple because I wanted this song to be fresh and easy.


Lyrics:
If I see beauty in the rain in the darkness of the sky
It's because the sun has done nothing else but passing by
At least the cold settles in and freezes my heart
When I build a fire it warms me up then dies out 

Maybe it's in your eyes 
lighting up when you smile
They write down in capital letters, 
scream out loud the word "forever"
Maybe when you hold me tight 
and whisper "you are mine"
I finally feel like I am alive 

Let's run away while we're young and in love
I never had the guts to do so
But this time I know that I'm not alone
It will be fine even when we're lost
Cause wherever we are you'll always be my home 

We'll sit by the window and we'll look at the local store
Watching people come and go, guessing their names and then we'd laugh
Cause everything is fun from the distance
We know it all too well
Far from the bruises under the sweater and from the pills inside the purse 

But reality is far away by now
We're heading to the kingdom of dreams and the republic of imagination 
I'm singing John Mayor and you play the guitar
And we fall asleep with a smile our faces 

My fears and my scars won't stop me from shining bright
I have been climbing all the mountains, thinking I should get used to it
Now I found a shelter
Happiness getting closer
But I'm so scared that you'll fade away
Leave me stranded on an island yet you stay
You stay (stay by my side)
You stay
You stay
You stay (just you and I) 

If I see beauty in the rain, in the darkness of the sky
It's because the sun has done nothing else but passing by
At least you, you always stay
In my head and my heart
So I'll love you forever...

Young and in love

Ils parlent trop derrière mon dos
Veulent entailler toute ma peau
M'insultent de tous les noms mais ils ne seront jamais à mon niveau

Tous dirigés par mon tempo
Écoutez chacun de mes mots
Avant que je ne vous montre mes crocs
I'll never let go

Continuez de parler
Veuillez bien me donner
Votre attention, je m'en nourris et m'en sers pour avancer 
Mes pas lourds, de l'avant
Même à contre-temps
Je n'laisserai pas 
Toutes vos messes basses
Entraver mon âme et mon art

Même si la pluie se mettait à se déchaîner 
Même si le tonnerre venait encore à gronder
Dans mon concerto, devant votre adversité
Je continuerai même si vos balles vous tirez

Pendant qu'ils rient, je peins mon monde, je suis celui qui ose
Mes harmonies, mes partitions, je suis le virtuose
Sans le savoir, tu seras piégé dans ma symphonie, mon chaos oh

Ils parlent trop derrière mon dos
Veulent entailler toute ma peau
M'insultent de tous les noms mais ils ne seront jamais à mon niveau

Tous dirigés par mon tempo
Écoutez chacun de mes mots
Avant que je ne vous montre mes crocs
I'll never let go

Profite de ce moment sans trop parler
Tant que je joue doucement au sommet
Car tes couteaux deviennent cendres à mes pieds
Alors cache-toi, watch your back

Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Oh Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Oh yeah

Regarde-moi, méprise-moi, parle de moi
Quand je marche, les regards se tournent vers moi
On me remarque, je me démarque, par ma voix
Pas besoin d'être vulgaire pour cracher mes flammes

Ambitieux, je ne veux pas de vos yeux envieux, haunting ya
Propage ta haine, mais la gloire est mienne, mon art est mon nen, dans mon ADN no pain
Tout devient or dans mes doigts
Imprévisible, appelle-moi Hisoka ey
Quand tu t'endors, je me bats
Pour réaliser mes rêves, forger ma voie

Pendant qu'ils rient, je peins mon monde, c'est mon apothéose 
Mes harmonies, mes partitions, je suis le maestro
Sans le savoir, tu seras piégé, je t'emmènerai plus haut

Profite de ce moment sans trop parler
Tant que je joue doucement au sommet
Car tes couteaux deviennent cendres à mes pieds
Alors cache-toi, watch your back

Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Oh Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Crescendo 
Oh yeah

Follow me now
Don't stand, bow down

Crescendo

Jimin Like Crazy English Acoustic Version Live on Lee Mujin Service

Record of my 22dn birthday. 

Fun fact that is not that fun: I named the project of this song "Mikrokosmos pt. 2" because, as I was writing the chorus, I noticed that the theme was basically what BTS sang in Mikrokosmos. 

With this song I want to express the fact that I am lacking in many ways and I feel like I can be more than who I am. But in reality, I am more than enough. I might not be the ideal that I have in mind but I am doing just fine and I am just as important as anybody else. 

My favorite part of the lyrics is the part that is very similar to Mikrokosmos, when I say that as long as I turn on the lights every night, it means that I keep going in life, so I am doing great. And when the sun sets, the lights of all these people living there lives, creates a beautiful scenery that make people dream and have hope. Just like me, when I was on a night walk in a park and I felt mesmerized by this ocean of lights in Seoul.

Lyrics:

It hit me when I went to that park on the hill
I used to think I could have it all
but that day I suddenly felt small
I could see a hotel, the rooms the beds and ceilings
Could almost hear the steps, the TV show
Just by looking at all these windows

I'm running miles again 
thinking that there is a finishing line, an end
where all the words like "thank you", "I'm sorry", "I love you" aren't hard to say
I am a daughter, a friend
but sometimes I feel like I should be more to them
I wanna be a firework, a flower field, a painting and if I'm not that's fine
As long as I turn on the lights 
every night

It hit me at 10 pm after scrolling for hours
Do I feel better about myself
when I see the pain of someone else?
Cause all this traveling and crying has taught me that I can change my feelings about things that aren't in my control
If I wanna laugh at my own funeral, I can

I'm running miles again 
thinking that there is a finishing line, an end
where all the words like "thank you", "I'm sorry", "I love you" aren't hard to say
I am a daughter, a friend
but sometimes I feel like I should be more to them
I wanna be a firework, a flower field, a painting and if I'm not that's fine
As long as I turn on the lights 
every night

I'm not one in a million
But I can live an illusion
Where I am the brightest window
with loud music and tinkles
I can choose the lens to my movie
I'll take a random bus and go
to places that I don't know
I might not be unique or special, no matter where I go
But once the sun finally sets 

We all shine
Look at those beautiful city lights
We make people dream
Just by existing
