Selfish
[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter
모두 다 알아
누가 봐도 우린 안 어울려
커지는 네 맘 두려워 난
너무 바빠 thinking ‘bout myself
널 아끼지만 이제 그만
여기까지 I ain’t the one
내가 미워지겠지
멋모르니 왜 이러는지
[Pre-Chorus]
하얀 넌 밝게 빛이 나는데
난 그 빛을 가리기에
[Chorus]
난 나 밖에 모르지
I’m selfish
네가 있을 자리가 없지
이기적인 날 두고 멀리
어서 run away from me
Me myself and I
나와 나와 나
내가 없어야 행복하지
기억 멀리 남김없이
모두 지워 버려 please
[Verse 2]
아니라고 변한다고
고칠 수 있을 거라고
기도하고 닳도록
빌어봐도 난 그대로
나보다 더 좋은 사람 만나서
행복하라고 please
넌 아니라 말하지만
널 가질 자격이 없어
[Pre-Chorus]
내 맘을 비워내려 하는데
넌 자꾸 날 채워주네
[Chorus]
난 나 밖에 모르지
I’m selfish
네가 있을 자리가 없지
이기적인 날 두고 멀리
어서 run away from me
Me myself and I
나와 나와 나
내가 없어야 행복하지
기억 멀리 남김없이
모두 지워버려 please
[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter
Everyone knows
It’s obvious that we aren’t a good match
I’m scared of your growing feelings
I’m too busy, thinking ’bout myself
I care about you, but let’s stop now
Let’s only go this far, I ain’t the one
You’ll come to hate me
Do you not understand why I’m being like this?
[Pre-Chorus]
Because you’re a bright white light
But I cover up that light
[Chorus]
I don’t know anything other than myself
I’m selfish
There’s no place for you
Leave the selfish me far behind
And quickly run away from me
Me, myself and I
Me, myself and I
You can only be happy without me around
Without a single memory left behind
Completely erase everything, please
[Verse 2]
You say no, that I can change
That I can fix myself
You pray and try to wish
Until you’re worn out, but I’m unchanged
I’m telling you to meet someone better than me
And go be happy, please
You say that it’s not true
But I don’t deserve you
[Pre-Chorus]
Though I try to empty out my heart
You keep on filling it back up
[Chorus]
I don’t know anything other than myself
I’m selfish
There’s no place for you
Leave the selfish me far behind
And quickly run away from me
Me, myself and I
Me, myself and I
You can only be happy without me around
Without a single memory left behind
Completely erase everything, please

Nirvana (Feat. pH-1, WDBZ)
[Verse 1: KANG DANIEL]
빛의 그림자를 밟고 나선 거리
켜지는 불빛만큼 또 꺼져가
화려함과 공허함 그 사이 어디 yeah
우린 점점 길을 잃어가
[Pre-Chorus 1: KANG DANIEL]
숨을 크게 참아
Take you to Nirvana
자유로이 날게 될 거야 높이
잠시 눈을 감아
그곳은 멀지 않아
So don’t you wanna fly
around the world with me?
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
Na na na
이 밤을 깨워
I know you wanna
눈부신 Nirvana
Na na na
All around the world
You know I wantcha yeah

Take my hand and we can go go go go
끝없는 하늘 위로 roll roll roll
꿈속에서 피어나
Wake up in paradise
Take my hand and we can go go go go
[Verse 2: pH-1]
Baby let’s fly across the ocean
중심 따윈 잃어 그냥 lost in the motion
하늘 위 붕 떠있는 너와 나에겐
더 이상 안 느껴지는 gravity
까마득해 우리 발밑이
To Nirvana we can go-o-o
브레이크는 절대 안 밟아
Never slow-o-o
이 순간의 전율을 피하지 말고
팔을 벌려 하늘 위로
H1GHR than we know
[Pre-Chorus 2: KANG DANIEL]
숨을 참는 순간
Take you to Nirvana
세상 끝에 닿게 될 거야 멀리
어서 눈을 감아
그 누구도 못 찾아
So don’t you wanna fly
around the world with me?

[Outro: KANG DANIEL] Take me to Nirvana
[Verse 1: KANG DANIEL]
Stepping on the shadow of light on the street
The lights are going out as much as they come on
Somewhere between splendor and emptiness, yeah
We’re getting lost
[Pre-Chorus 1: KANG DANIEL]
Hold your breath
Take you to Nirvana
You’ll be able to fly freely and high
Close your eyes for a second
It’s not far
So don’t you wanna fly
around the world with me?
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
Na na na
Wake up this night
I know you wanna
Dazzling Nirvana

[Refrain: KANG DANIEL]
Take my hand and we can go go go go
Above the endless sky roll roll roll
Blossom in our dreams
Wake up in paradise
Take my hand and we can go go go go
[Verse 2: pH-1]
Baby let’s fly across the ocean
Let’s lose our balance, just lost in the motion
You and I are floating in the sky
We can’t feel gravity anymore
Can’t see anything beneath our feet
To Nirvana we can go-o-o
Never hit the brakes
Never slow-o-o
Don’t avoid the thrill of this moment
Raise your arms and reach for the sky
H1GHR than we know
[Pre-Chorus 2: KANG DANIEL]
When you hold your breath
Take you to Nirvana
We’ll reach the end of the world, far away
Close your eyes now
No one can find us
So don’t you wanna fly
around the world with me?
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
Na na na
Wake up this night
I know you wanna
Dazzling Nirvana

Gliding silhouettes on the runway
Climbing higher and still wanting more

Ghost
[Verse 1]
잊어라 한다고 잊혀질까
언제쯤 말처럼 쉬워질까 yeah
무거운 내 마음도 비워질까
전부 너로 가득한데
나 그게 잘 안돼
[Pre-Chorus]
아득한 기억 속
널 찾아 매일
붙잡을수록 멀어지는 너에게
가고 있어 다시 내게
돌아올 수 없다는 걸 잘 알기에
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
오늘도 너의 잔상만 남아 oh oh
I’m living with your Ghost
네 빈자리에 차가운 향기만 남아
숨 쉴 때마다 퍼져와 oh oh
Why did I let you fade away into a Ghost
[Verse 2]
거센 파도처럼
밀려와 기억은
턱 끝까지 잠겨
눈을 감을 때마다
어김없이 나타나
Every night
You’re by my side
나를 괴롭히는 너
[Pre-Chorus]
아득한 기억 속
널 찾아 매일
붙잡을수록 멀어지는 너에게
가고 있어 다시 내게
돌아올 수 없다는 걸 잘 알기에
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
오늘도 너의 잔상만 남아 oh oh
I’m living with your Ghost
네 빈자리에 차가운 향기만 남아
숨 쉴 때마다 퍼져와 oh oh
Why did I let you fade away into a Ghost
[Interlude] Aye aye aye oh!
[Verse 3]
네 모든 게 날 괴롭게 해
너의 기억에 잠겨 이렇게
네 손의 온기 또
부르던 목소리도
날 향해서 웃는 미소
바라보던 너의 눈빛도
어떻게 잊을 수 있겠어
[Bridge]
Oh I can’t forget you
작은 것 하나
나를 떠난 날까지
벗어날 수 없어
달아날 수도
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
오늘도 너의 잔상만 남아 oh oh
I’m living with your Ghost
네 빈자리에 차가운 향기만 남아
숨 쉴 때마다 퍼져와 oh oh
Why did I let you fade away into a Ghost
[Outro]
Fade into a Ghost
Fade in love
네 빈자리엔 차가운 너의 향기만
I’ll never let you fade away into a Ghost
[Verse 1]
Will I forget just because I tell myself to?
When will it get as easy as people say it will?
Will my heavy heart ever clear out as well?
It’s all full of you though
I’m just not able to
[Pre-Chorus]
In my fading memories
I search for you every day
The more I try to grab hold, the further away it all gets
I’m going towards you
Because I know all too well that you’re never returning to me again
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains
I’m living with your ghost
In your place, only your cold scent lingers
It engulfs me with every breath I take
Why did I let you fade away into a ghost
[Verse 2]
Like a powerful wave
The memories wash over
And paralyze me
Every time I close my eyes
You never fail to appear
Every night
You’re by my side
You haunt me
[Pre-Chorus]
In my fading memories
I search for you every day
The more I try to grab hold, the further it all gets
I’m going towards you
Because I know all too well that you’re never returning to me again
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains
I’m living with your ghost
In your place, only your cold scent lingers
It engulfs me with every breath I take
Why did I let you fade away into a ghost
[Interlude] Aye aye aye aye oh
[Verse 3]
Everything about you haunts me
I’m stuck in the memory of you
The warmth of your hands
The voice of yours that used to call for me
The smile you showed me
The way you used to look at me
How could I possibly forget any of it?
[Bridge]
Oh I can’t forget you
Every little thing about you
Even the day that you left me
I wouldn’t be able to escape it
Even if I tried to run away
[Chorus]
And now I can’t fall asleep at night
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains
I’m living with your ghost
In your place, only your cold scent lingers
It engulfs me with every breath I take
Why did I let you fade away into a ghost
[Outro]
Fade into a ghost
Fade in love
In your place, there’s only your cold scent
I’ll never let you fade away into a ghost

Parade
[Verse 1]
어지럽게 돌고 도는 세상
겉은 완벽해 보이겠지만
그 안에 갇혀있는 너와 날
좀 내버려 둬, we’ll be fine
자유로움은 아름다운 법
이미 오래전에 잊혀진 것
기나긴 시간을 참아왔던
오늘 만을 기다렸어
[Chorus]
축배를 들어 높게
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade (Yeah!)
멈추기엔 it’s too late
잔을 높여 우리 모두의 축제 (Woah, woah, woah)
남들과 다르면 어때
그게 뭐가 중요한데 (Oh!)
축배를 들어 높게
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade
[Verse 2]
거울 속에 비춰진 내 모습
보이는 이대로가 좋은데
왜 다들 날 보며 call me insane
도대체 뭘 원하는데
끝없는 미로를 헤 매이다
나와 같은 모습의 그림자
아팠던 기억들도 있지만
모두 잊혀질 거야
[Chorus]
축배를 들어 높게
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade (Yeah!)
멈추기엔 it’s too late
잔을 높여 우리 모두의 축제 (Woah, woah, woah)
남들과 다르면 어때
그게 뭐가 중요한데 (Oh!)
축배를 들어 높게
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade
[Bridge]
I wanna be forever young
검은 밤하늘을 채워가
이젠 내 뜻대로 살래
‘Cause it all means nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
축배를 들어 높게
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade (Yeah!; 우리의 parade)
멈추기엔 it’s too late (Parade)
잔을 높여 우리 모두의 축제 (Woah, woah, woah)
남들과 다르면 어때 (다르면 어때)
그게 뭐가 중요한데 (Oh!; 중요한데)
축배를 들어 높게 (들어 높게)
이건 이건 우리들만의 parade (Yeah-eah-eah)
[Verse 1]
Dizzy, as the world spins round and round
It may look perfect on the outside,
Trapped inside are you and I
Leave us alone, we’ll be fine
Freedom is a beautiful thing
A long forgotten thing
We’ve endured long enough
I’ve been waiting for this day
[Chorus]
Let’s make a toast and lift our glasses high
This is our parade (Yeah!)
To stop now, it’s too late
Raise your glasses, this is our parade (Woah, woah, woah)
Who cares if we’re different?
What’s the big deal? (Oh!)
Let’s make a toast and lift our glasses high
This is our parade
[Verse 2]
My reflection in the mirror
I like how it looks
Whenever they see, why do they call me insane
What in the world do they want?
Confused in an endless maze
The shadow that looks like me
I remember being sick,
It’ll all be forgotten
[Chorus]
Let’s make a toast and lift our glasses high
This is our parade (Yeah!)
To stop now, it’s too late
Raise your glasses, this is our parade (Woah, woah, woah)
Who cares if we’re different?
What’s the big deal? (Oh!)
Let’s make a toast and lift our glasses high
This is our parade
[Bridge]
I wanna be forever young
Fill the black night sky
From now, I want to live my way
‘Cause it all means nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
Let’s make a toast and lift our glasses high
This is our parade (Yeah!; our parade)
To stop now, it’s too late (Parade)
Raise your glasses, this is our parade (Woah, woah, woah)
Who cares if you’re different? (Different)
What’s important about that? (Oh!; important)
Let’s toast high (High)
This is our parade (Yeah-eah-eah)

Upside Down
[Verse 1]
생각 대론 되는 게
입만 열면 다 반대
나무 잡고 퉤퉤퉤
문제야 문제 (Woop, woop, woop)
의아해 모든 게
내게만 이런 일이 생기는 게 (Huh)
하는 일이 죄다 반대로 (Yeah, yeah; huh-ah)
I’m just thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
우연이라 하기엔 해도 너무해
Wanna know the reason, 알 수가 없네 (Yeah)
세상을 반대로 사는 것 같아 (사는 것 같아)
다시 바꿔 놔야겠어
[Chorus]
거꾸로 돌려 모든 걸 (Ayy)
위아래로 upside down (Ayy)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔 (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든 걸 (Ayy)
Turn it ’til the lights go out (Ayy)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔 (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든 걸
[Verse 2]
성가시고 거슬려 (Uh-huh, yup)
뜻대로 되는 게 하나도 없어
오늘 날씨 짓궂어
And I keep thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
상상이라 하기엔 너무 지루해
Wanna know the reason, 알 수가 없네
나 혼자만 뒤로 가는 것 같아 (사는 것 같아)
다시 바꿔 놔야겠어 (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
거꾸로 돌려 모든 걸 (Oh, yeah)
위아래로 upside down (Ayy)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔 (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든 걸 (Girl, yeah)
Turn it ’til the lights go out (Lights go out; ayy)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔
I’m living in the upside down
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든
[Bridge]
눈 감아도 왜 이리 어지러울까
하루도 맘 편히 살 수가 없네
내게도 기적이 오길 기도해
매일 꿈에서 보았던 (Oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
거꾸로 돌려 모든 걸 (Oh-ooh-oh-oh)
위아래로 upside down (Ayy)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔 (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든 걸 (모든 걸, 모든 걸)
Turn it ’til the lights go out (Lights, lights out)
온 세상을 뒤집어놔 (온 세상을, no)
I’m living in the upside down (I’m living in the upside down)
멋대로 내 멋대로 모든 걸
[Verse 1]
I’m thinking
Every time I open my mouth, I say the the wrong thing
Grab a tree and spit, spit, spit
It’s an issue, it’s a problem (Woop, woop, woop)
I’m just curious
Am I the only one that feels this way (Huh)
Whatever I do, nothing goes my way (Yeah, yeah; huh-ah)
I’m just thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not by chance, I can’t get anything right
Wanna know the reason, I don’t know (Yeah)
I feel like I’m living in a world that’s upside down (Feel like I’m living)
I need to change it back
[Chorus]
Turn everything around (Ayy)
Up and down, upside down (Ayy)
Turn the whole world the other way around (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
Everything I want, the way I want it (Ayy)
Turn it till the lights go out (Ayy)
Turn the whole world the other way around (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down
Everything I want, the way I want it
[Verse 2]
It’s annoying and irritating (Uh-huh, yup)
Nothing goеs my way
What’s with today’s weather?
And I keep thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Just imagining it, tires mе out
Wanna know the reason I don’t know
I feel like I’m the only one moving backwards (Feel like I’m moving)
I need to change it back (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Turn everything around (Oh, yeah)
Up and down, upside down (Ayy)
Turn the whole world the other way around (Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
Everything I want, the way I want it (Girl, yeah)
Turn it till the lights go out (Lights go out; ayy)
Turn the whole world the other way around
I’m living in the upside down
Everything I want, the way I want it
[Bridge]
I close my eyes, and think, why
I feel dizzy and I can’t just live one day in peace
I pray that a miracle will come to me
Every day, in my dreams (Oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Turn everything around (Oh-ooh-oh-oh)
Up and down, upside down(Ayy)
Turn the whole world the other way around(Ayy)
I’m living in the upside down (Ayy)
Everything I want, the way I want it (Everything, everything)
Turn it till the lights go out (Lights, lights out)
Turn the whole world the other way around (The whole world, no)
I’m living in the upside down (I’m living in the upside down)
Everything I want, the way I want it

How We Live (Feat. sokodomo)
[Verse 1: sokodomo]
반복되는 삶 속에 방식
난 나만을 믿고 살았지
실패는 밥 먹듯이 했고
이제 넘어져도 아프지가 않지
아마 내가 그때 어렸을 때
아픈 게 너무나도 무서웠네
이제는 뭘 해도
걱정 따위 버리고
나를 믿고 살아가는 거를 pick할 거니까, keep going
모든 걸 걸어 멈출 수 없어
더 크고 멋진 모습들 보여
아마도 벌써
파급효과를 느낀 너는 알지
힘들어도 돼 근데 그거 알지
난 일공공퍼를 주고 살지
Show and prove, 난 증명했고
남들보다 어려웠던 길을 걸어갔어
Never losing it
[Pre-Chorus: sokodomo]
뒤돌아 봤을 때 (What up)
너무나 멀고 험한 길을 걸어왔네 (수고 많았지)
쉽게만 사는 게 무슨 재미가 있겠어 (Ain’t no fun)
넘어져도 일어나서 전부 털어버려 이렇게 (Push it, push it on)
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
뛰는 애들 위에서 날아
오늘따라 햇빛은 밝고
기분 좋은 인생을 살아
멈추지 못해, we can’t stop
‘Cause that’s how we live, we live, we live
더 좋은 삶을 위해 위해
‘Cause that’s how we live, we live, we live
우린 뛰는 애들 위에서 날아
[Verse 2: KANG DANIEL]
왜 이리 시끄러 (Ha, ha, ha)
정신이 없어
조금만 더 쉽게 보다 더 재밌게
걱정은 그만 너무 깊게 생각하지 마

We won’t give it up, 이뤄낼 수 있어
We can have it all
멈출 수 없어, 쉴 수도 없어

So run with me, 소리쳐 봐 마치
내일이 없는 것처럼 break free, oh!

[Verse 1: sokodomo]
The way in which life repeats itself
I only trusted myself
I failed as often as I ate
Now even if I fall it doesn’t hurt
Maybe when I was younger
I was so scared of getting hurt
Now no matter what I do
Let go of my worries
I’m going to trust myself and pick living so keep going
I can’t stop putting everything on the line
I see bigger and better things
Probably already
You can feel the ripple effect, you know
It can be hard, but you know what
I live giving 100%
Show and prove, I proved it
I walked a path that was more difficult than others
Never losing it
[Pre-Chorus: sokodomo]
When I look back (What up)
I’ve walked a long and rough road (Good job)
What’s the fun in living an easy life? (Ain’t no fun)
Even if you fall, get up and shake it all off like (Brush it, brush it off)

Fly above the people who run
The sunlight is bright today
Live a happy life
Can’t stop, we can’t stop
‘Cause that’s how we live, we live, we live
For a better life
‘Cause that’s how we live, we live, we live
Let’s fly above the people who run
[Verse 2: KANG DANIEL]
Why are you so loud? (Ha, ha, ha)
I’m so out of it
A little easier and more fun
Don’t worry, don’t overthink it
[Pre-Chorus: sokodomo]
When I look back (What up)
I’ve walked a long and rough road (Good job)
What’s the fun in living an easy life? (Ain’t no fun)

Let’s fly above the people who run
[Bridge: KANG DANIEL]
We won’t give it up, I can make it happen
We can have it all
I can’t stop, I can’t rest
I wanna live it up
Since there’s only one today
Run as if it’s your last time
So run with me, shout it out like
Like there’s no tomorrow, break free, oh

Nah, nah, nah, nah

Why you so mad? (Hey)
이렇게 또 악에 받쳐
똑같은 말만, over and over (Ooh yeah, over and over)
적당히 좀 해 (Eh)
If you hate me 너만 괴로워 (너만 괴로워)
[Post-Chorus: KANG DANIEL & Chancellor]
So why are you so mad?
Mad
Mad
Mad
[Bridge: Chancellor]
내 곁에 있어줬던
날 비춰주던 stars
한때 함께 울고 웃었지
You mean everything and more
언젠가는 시간이 흘러
더는 미워할 수 없어도
그땐 웃길 바래
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL, Chancellor]
So don’t be so mad (Woo!)
너만의 세상에 갇혀
Why you so mad?
이렇게 또 악에 받쳐 (Baby, yeah)
똑같은 말만, over and ovеr (All over and over, and over, yеah)
적당히 좀 해
If you hate me, 너만 괴로워 (너만 괴로워)
[Post-Chorus: Both, KANG DANIEL, Chancellor]
So why are you so mad? (Yeah)
Mad (Now, why are you so mad?)
Mad (Ooh)
Mad
So don’t be so mad
[Intro]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
[Verse 1: KANG DANIEL]
Tell me why you hatin’,
What is bothering you so much
Pieces chewed and spat out, words that shouldn’t be said (Yeah, no)
Don’t stop now
[Refrain: KANG DANIEL]
I don’t know you but
If that is how you feel better
I’ll pretend to be fooled, go ahead and do it
I am used to it
‘Cause you’re addicted to hating
Me, I’m just chillin’
Just go ahead and say whatever you feel like
[Pre-Chorus: Chancellor]
Close both your eyes and empty it out
With your ears closed
I just want to ask this
‘Cause I just wanna say
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
Why you so mad?
Trapped in your own world
Why you so mad?
You deliver so much evil
Same words, over and over
Don’t take it too far
If you hate me, it only pains you
So don’t be so mad
[Verse 2: KANG DANIEL]
Website with no rest, fake the profile
No matter the exaggerated words you spread (Skrr, skrr)
I can see through ya, I can see it all (See it all)
Go ahead and say it louder, only your lips hurt (Oh, woah, woah)
[Refrain: KANG DANIEL]
You rush in that short period, what for
You should take it slow
You feel up, you feel high and low
The deep place
Where the light shined in your heart
The hate has overtaken again
Nah, nah, nah, nah
[Pre-Chorus: Chancellor]
To change your mind (Follow me)
It’s gone too far (Come too far, eh)
I want to ask this
‘Cause I just wanna say
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL]
Why you so mad? (Yeah)
Trapped in your own world
Why you so mad? (Hey)
You deliver so much evil
Same words, over and over (Ooh yeah, over and over)
Don’t take it too far (Eh)
If you hate me, it only pains you (Pains you)
[Post-Chorus: KANG DANIEL & Chancellor]
So why are you so mad?
Mad
Mad
Mad
[Bridge: Chancellor]
The ones who were with me
The stars that shined on me
We laughed and cried together
You mean everything and more
As time passes
It will be harder to hate me
I hope you can laugh then
[Chorus: KANG DANIEL, Chancellor]
So don’t be so mad (Woo!)
Trapped in your own world
Why you so mad?
You deliver so much evil (Baby, yeah)
Same words, over and ovеr (All over and over, and over, yеah)
Don’t take it too far
If you hate me, it only pains you (Pains you)
[Post-Chorus: Both, KANG DANIEL, Chancellor]
So why are you so mad? (Yeah)
Mad (Now, why are you so mad?)
Mad (Ooh)
Mad
So don’t be so mad

어둠 속에
깨져버린 꿈의 조각

In the darkness
The broken pieces of a dream
The endless depth of the ocean
In the cold times
Quietly embracing me
One light, shining like

Oh, woah, woah
I met and got to know you
Baby you’re the reason why
I glow, woah, woah
You are the only reason

Now you look at me
Without any lies
I am good with just that like

You helped me endure (me endure)
Our dark night (Yeah, yeah)

Everyday with you is like a sweet escape (A sweet escape, ooh woah)
The moment I’ve been waiting for countless times, ayy
I will take care of you
Forever and ever with you

Moment
[Verse 1]
한없이 멀어져 가는 시간 속에
잠시 머물러줘요
끝없는 터널 나 홀로 걷고 있다 해도
나를 기다려줘요
[Pre-Chorus]
모든 게
영원할 순 없잖아
이젠 알 것만 같아
기억들은 조각이 되어
끝내 빛이 바래도
나 여기 서 있을 테니까
[Chorus]
평생 내 곁에 머물러줘
여기 머물러줘
세상 모든 게 다 변한다 해도
그대로 머물러
곁에 있어줘, 있어줘, forever
[Post-Chorus]
In this moment, moment, moment
In this moment, moment forever
[Verse 2]
한참을 기다리겠죠 그래도
그거 하나면 돼요
멀리서 생각하겠죠
괜히 오늘따라 가슴이 답답해요
[Pre-Chorus]
하루가
너무 빨리 지나가
잡아보려 하지만
시간마저 바람이 되어
흩어져 버린다 해도
다시 불어올 테니까
[Chorus]
평생 내 곁에 머물러줘
여기 머물러줘
세상 모든 게 다 변한다 해도
그대로 머물러
곁에 있어줘, 있어줘, forever
[Post-Chorus]
In this moment, moment, moment
In this moment, moment forever
시간이 흘러 흘러 흘러도
여기 머물러 여기 머물러주길
[Verse 1]
In that time that is infinitely far away
Stay here for a bit
Even if I’m walking alone in an endless tunnel
Wait for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing
Can be forever
I think I know now
Memories become pieces
Even if the light fade
I will stand here
[Chorus]
Stay with me forever
Stay here
Even if the whole world changes
Still stay
With me, with me, forever
[Post-Chorus]
In this moment, moment, moment
In this moment, moment forever
[Verse 2]
You may wait a long while but
I only need that
You’ll probably think of me from afar
For some reason today, my heart feels heavy
[Pre-Chorus]
A day
Goes by so fast
I try to grab it
But even time becomes the wind
Even if we are scattered
I will call you again
[Chorus]
Stay with me forever
Stay here
Even if the whole world changes
Still stay
With me, with me, forever
[Post-Chorus]
In this moment, moment, moment
In this moment, moment forever
Even if the time floats, floats, floats away
Stay here, I hope you stay

The Story
[Verse 1]
끝까지 걸어온 길
알 수 없는 ending들로
만들어진 이야기
문이 열려 새롭게
이별을 해 봐야 사랑을 알듯이
눈으로 봐야 기억을 하듯이
Remember me
I hope you remember me
[Pre-Chorus]
Running and running
내일을 위해 위해
오늘을 달려
내 꿈에 취해 취해
화려한 피날레가 있기에
넘어져도 you should know
[Chorus]
You gotta get up, 높은 하늘 위로
You gotta get high, 두 날개를 펴고
언제나 my life is like a show
끝내 막이 내려도
닿을 것만 같은 paradise
가까워질수록
That’s just how
That’s just how the story goes
[Verse 2]
줄 위를 걸어가 walk carefully
디딜 곳이 없는 발 위태로이
Don’t swing, woah, hey, ho
아주 먼 길 나 혼자 버텼으니? (You’ll see, you’ll see)
어깨 위에 무게가 much heavier (Woo!)
기도드려 난 매일 하늘이여
비틀거려 밤새 but carry on
붉은 해가 뜰 때까지
[Pre-Chorus]
Running and running
어제를 이어 이어
지나간 자리엔
꽃이 피어 피어 (꽃들이 피어)
화려한 피날레가 있기에 (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
넘어져도 you should know
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, you gotta get up, 높은 하늘 위로 (Yeah)
You gotta get high, 두 날개를 펴고 (두 날개를 펴고)
언제나 my life is like a show (It’s like a show)
끝내 막이 내려도 (Oh)
닿을 것만 같은 paradise
가까워질수록 (닿을 것 같아)
That’s just how (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
That’s just how the story goes (How the story goes)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Let me hear you say yeah)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)
[Bridge]
너무 많은 생각
머릿속을 비워내
그것만으로 벅차 (벅차)
왔던 길을 돌아봐
때론 슬픈 일도
웃어넘길 수 있어 다
계속해서 써 내려가
이런 내 이야기를 들어줘
[Chorus]
You gotta get up, 높은 하늘 위로 (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
You gotta get high, 두 날개를 펴고 (Baby, gotta get high)
언제나 my life is like a show
끝내 막이 내려도 (끝내 막이 내려도)
닿을 것만 같은 paradise
가까워질수록 (가까워질수록)
That’s just how (That’s just how)
That’s just how the story goes (Oh-oh, the story goes)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah, uh huh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes, that’s how the story goes)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)
[Verse 1]
The road I walked to the end
Story made with unknown endings
The door opens anew
You know love after breaking up
You can remember after seeing with your eyes
Remember me
I hope you remember me
[Pre-Chorus]
Running and running
For tomorrow, for tomorrow
We run today
I’m drunk, drunk on my dream
There will be a colorful finale
Even if you fall, you should know
[Chorus]
You gotta get up, above the tall skies
You gotta get high, with your wings open wide
Always, my life is like a show
Even though the end might come
Paradise seems within reach
The closer I get
That’s just how
That’s just how the story goes
[Verse 2]
Walk upon the wire, walk carefully
There is no footing, in jeopardy
Don’t swing, woah, hey, ho
The long road I endured alone? (You’ll see, you’ll see)
The weight on my shoulders, much heavier (Woo!)
I pray daily to the heavens
I stumbled all night but carry on
Until the burning sun comes up
[Pre-Chorus]
Running and running
Yesterday continues on, on
The road I passed
Flowers bloom, bloom (Flowers bloom)
There will be a colorful finale (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Even if you fall, you should know
[Chorus]
You gotta get up, above the tall skies (Yeah)
You gotta get high, with your wings open wide (Wings open wide)
Always, my life is like a show (It’s like a show)
Even though the end might come (Oh)
Paradise seems within reach (Paradise)
The closer I get (Seems within reach)
That’s just how (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
That’s just how the story goes (How the story goes)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Let me hear you say yeah)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)
[Bridge]
Too many thoughts
Empty your mind
Overwhelmed just by that (Overwhelmed)
Look back at the road you traveled
There were unhappy things
You were able to laugh over
Continue to write it
Listen to my stories like this
[Chorus]
You gotta get up, above the tall skies (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
You gotta get high, with your wings open wide (Baby, gotta get high)
Always, my life is like a show
Even though the end might come (End might come)
Paradise seems within reach
The closer I get (Closer I get)
That’s just how (That’s just how)
That’s just how the story goes (Oh-oh, the story goes)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah, uh huh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes, that’s how the story goes)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (That’s how the story goes)

On November 7, 2022, KONNECT Entertainment stated that Kang Daniel repackage comeback goes back and forth between his energetic, bright charm and powerful appearance and delivers an honest message with two elements: music performance and intuition.”[s] [s] [s] The tracklist teaser posted on the 14th revealed 5 new songs would be released, 3 of which entirely new songs (“Nirvana”, “Selfish”, “Ghost”). The title track “Nirvana” features rapper ph-1 and dance crew We Dem Boyz (WDBZ). Daniel also included a solo version of “Nirvana” and remix of “Ride 4 U” as bonus tracks. According to KONNECT, “This album is designed to be composed like a story. The old tracks are rearranged while new songs were arranged in such a way that it adds completeness to the plot.”[s] [s] [s]
Since releasing The Story six months prior to the repackage, Daniel remarked, “I think the entire experience of releasing The Story made this repackaged album more plentiful.” Through the full album, Daniel “wanted to talk about a variety of fun stories in a different way.” Daniel said the new tracks were already set for the comeback album: “I had these songs since I released the album MAGENTA, so I was thinking about when to add them in. I thought this repackage album would go well with the world tour’s ‘theme song.’” [s] [s]
Title track “Nirvana” is an electro-pop song with explosive energy. There is emphasis on organ chords and guitars and maximizes the charm of a bouncy baseline, horn hits, drum kicks and applause, and melodic synth.[s] [s] Daniel told Sweety High he intended to make a solo version since “It’s the same song, but I wanted to get a different vibe between the two versions.”
Modern-pop “Selfish” uses bright instruments such as violas, guitars, and bells with contrasting dark lyrics about how having a selfish mind is bad but at the same time not wanting to be a bad person.[s]
“Ghost” expresses dark but hopeful energy by harmonizing Daniel’s sorrowful voice with melodic and warm synth lines. During a fansign on December 4, Daniel mentioned the song reflected his ideas the most as he wrote the song thinking about his grandfather who passed away.[s] [s]
On November 7, 2022, a surprise album cover image dropped at midnight. News confirmed Kang Daniel would be making a comeback with his first repackage The Story : RETOLD half a year after the release of his first full album The Story.
The repackaged album was not promoted on Korean shows. KONNECT posted several behind images and clips on SNS throughout December. A special performance video with WDBZ was posted on December 17. Daniel spoke about the album in interviews with WWD Korea and English media like Next Shark and Sweety High.
The new songs “Nirvana”, “Ghost”, and “Selfish” were performed for the first time at Kang Daniel’s First Parade Malaysia world tour stop on January 14, 2023.
The Story : RETOLD surpassed 90,000 physical album sales within a week and was #2 on the weekly Circle sales charts.[s]
The album debuted at #10 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart.[s] It ranked among the top 10 on the iTunes Album Chart in various regions, including Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Turkey.[s] [s] [s]
In addition, the album ranked second on Hanteo’s World Chart for the 4th week of November. The World Chart is a comprehensive chart based on global data of K-pop artists, such as albums, music sources, certifications, SNS, and media.[s]
Title track “Nirvana” debuted at #25 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. It ranked among the top 10 on the iTunes Song Chart in various regions, including Chile, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.[s] Other new tracks from the album have also successfully entered the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart: “Selfish” at #60, “Ghost” at #62, and “Ride 4 U (Remix)” at #72.[s]
“Nirvana (Feat. pH-1, WDBZ)” landed at #92 on the weekly Gaon Digital Chart and was #4 for Downloads.[s]
Daniel delved more into the music video’s imagery: “The central theme of the music video was to express my freedom, romance and drawing in my own way. The car with the piled garbage bags is where I can enjoy my romance without others looking for it. The ‘X’ might be seen as negative at first, but it creates a logo by drawing a ‘D’ on the opposite side, showing that the ‘X’ was an indication of my way.”[s]
Rigend Film, the video production team behind “PARANOIA” and “Antidote”, reunited with Daniel for “Nirvana”. The director shared episodes on her Instagram Story. The dock scene was filmed in very cold weather. The clip of Daniel smiling at 1:16 was when he broke into laughter after the director had a blooper moment while reaching for the microphone. She decided to keep the “Daniel-like” shot in the MV, and it’s elected as her favorite cut. During the final “go-go-go” lip-sync, she wanted to incorporate a crazy and handsome feeling. They did a lot of takes, and she said Daniel did not tire of repeated shots.[s] [s] [s]

It’s been 6 months since my 1st full album The Story was released. Since it’s my first full album, I made it carefully. I’m also lucky to be loved by many people who give me a lot of love. It was a meaningful period of time for me. Thank you, everyone.
Although I feel that the stories I want to tell have been fully enfolded in my songs, there are still many stories that haven’t been told. After I released the first album, I went through a busy life, felt new emotions, and grew through various experiences, and the stories I wanted to share increased one after another. It seems that the planning of my The Story : RETOLD album started from there.
[Omitted mention of everyone he has worked with, featuring artists, producers, composers, stylists, etc.]
Danity, are you all enjoying the RETOLD story? All thanks to Danity for letting me feel the tension of finishing the album and writing a “Thanks to” again. Thank you for always making me shine in the nearest place. I’ll always remember your kindness and will work hard to shine even more. Please look after me in the future too. Love you, Danity!
Like how stories are passed on from word to mouth, adding color and being reborn as new stories, I wanted to combine newly produced songs with existing ones and reorganize them. I hope everyone who likes The Story and those who listen to The Story : RETOLD will feel joy while listening. Please enjoy them!
