Places & Exes
Sik-K • From “6seoul”
Places & Exes Lyrics Translation (from “6seoul”)
The songwriter uses specific Seoul landmarks to ground his memories, like the Itaewon police station where a couple used to fight. One line asks, ‘Should I etch you onto my body as a tattoo.’ This poet questions if physical marks can truly hold onto a past relationship that haunts an empty house.
Geurae, I think too muchYeah, I think too much.
I think too muchI think too much.
Byeoldareun iyuga itgenniIs there even a specific reason?
Nan miumman saekkamake chaseoI’m just filled with pitch-black hatred,
