교수 되는 비법 

BPM 100의 담백한 피아노와 기타 선율 위에 Charlie K의 목소리가 앉은 이 곡은 학문의 열정과 현실적 압박 사이에서 흔들리는 이들의 이야기를 담았다. "SCI 써라", "논문 실적 신경 써라" 같은 교수의 직설적 조언을 반복하는 가사는 학계의 냉정한 기준을 드러내며, "방사선 동위원소처럼 나는 붕괴되었습니다"라는 시적 비유는 지친 연구자의 내면을 날카롭게 포착한다. 건반과 기타의 미니멀한 구성은 일상의 단조로움을, 보컬의 섬세한 울림은 꿈과 현실의 괴리를 교차시킨다. 플라톤의 이자, 벚꽃 피는 순서 같은 학문적 은유는 이 노래를 단순한 고민에서 우주적 성찰로 확장한다. 모든 예비 학자가 공감할 이 곡은 성공 신화 뒤에 숨은 개인의 희생을 노래하는 현대적 자화상이다.

Translation: "The Secret to Becoming a Professor"

Set to a simple piano and guitar melody at 100 BPM, Charlie K's voice narrates the struggle between academic passion and harsh reality. Lyrics repeating professors' blunt advice like "Write SCI papers" and "Focus on research achievements" expose academia's rigid standards, while metaphors like "I decay like a radioactive isotope" capture exhausted scholars' psyche. Minimal instrumentation mirrors mundane routines, and vulnerable vocals juxtapose dreams against reality. Academic allegories—Plato's interest, cherry blossom sequences—elevate personal angst into cosmic reflection. This track resonates as a modern portrait of individual sacrifice behind institutional success myths.
