Mirror Dive Lyrics Translation – Luminous Day
The songwriter asks ‘Where is the me from that photograph?’ as the narrator confronts their younger self. 김시우 mentions colors fading and dreams becoming trapped in time. Each verse shows someone trying to climb back up after falling.
Makyeojin jogakdeul sairoBetween these blocked-off pieces,
Churakaetdeon naneun tto ollagaryeo haebojimanI, who had fallen, try to climb back up again, but
Seoseonggeorida geu hyanggieas I linger within that scent,
Hwipssayeo nae miraereul gieokaneI’m swept away, remembering my future.
Binnaneun haneul wie ssodajineun siseonWith gazes pouring down from the shining sky,
Nan mueol chatgo isseonneunjiI wonder what I’ve been looking for.
Geu gireul tteonan nanNow that I’ve left that path,
Geujeo geoul sogui eorin nailkka oham I just that young child in the mirror? Oh.
Ganjeolhi baradeon gipeun sungan sogeWithin that deep moment I desperately wanted,
Gachyeobeorin naui kkummy dream has become trapped.
