Bad Trip Lyrics Translation Koo (Sikkoo) | Home
Koo writes lyrics grounded in specific, tough memories. He mentions getting a right hook from his father’s fist and running away. This narrator then describes his life’s difficulty level being set to high.
Pajueseo seongnamkkaji gasseoI went all the way from Paju to Seongnam.
Saejiben saeeommaui ttalnaemi wassupIn the new house, my stepmother’s daughter greeted me.
Appaui right hook cheomajasseoI took a right hook from my father’s fist,
Domanggasseo nae eomeoniga deo geuriwoseoand I ran away, missing my mother even more.
Nal wirohan geunyeoui jigeop aidolThe girl who comforted me was an idol by profession.
Wiyakgeumeun yugeok nae insaengui nanidoWith a six hundred million won penalty, my life’s difficulty level was set to high.
Ibyeol hu gusi nyuseu daepyoui manhaengAfter the split, news of the CEO’s misconduct surfaced,
Ppeonppeonhage apeseon ipbanggeutyet he acts so shameless, keeping his mouth shut in public.
Samnyeonui bad tripIt’s been a three-year bad trip.
Ne mok ttaryeo sikgureul charyeosseo don’t test meI’m here to take what’s yours; I’ve built my own crew, so don’t test me.
Naega eonje teullin mal haesseo don’t press meI’ve never said anything that wasn’t true, so don’t press me.
CJ sanghachaeseo gyeyeolsaI went from loading trucks at CJ to being part of an affiliate,
Club neonsain ap mudaeeseobuteo beoreo saimand now I’m making money on the stage in front of the club’s neon signs.
Bonaen bad trip bada f#ck youTake this bad trip I’ve sent you, f#ck you.
Beorin han su ssain aswiumThat one move I threw away turned into a pile of regret.
Galsurok sutgarak neureoseoAs time goes by, more people are trying to get a free meal,
Ijen ne sajeong I don’t give a f#ckbut I don’t give a f#ck about your situation anymore.
Don nangbi uimi eomneun campaignIt’s a waste of money, a meaningless campaign.
Geureol baen ne jumeonina deo chaenggyeoInstead of that, you should just fill your own pockets.
Gaebokchireul dalmeun ne sonmogeWith a wrist that’s as fragile as a sunfish,
Bumonim dwitgori deo danggyeoyou’re just causing your parents more stress.
Minus biwojin gongbaekA minus sign, an empty void left behind.
Dakchigo chaewo mit ppajin dogeJust shut up and keep filling that bottomless jar.
Gidaebwaya jeonhwa myeot tongi pinancheoEven if you lean on it, your only refuge is a few phone calls.
Bad trip naega baeteun ne sangcheoThis bad trip is the wound I’ve spat back at you.
