Mazzel • From “Banquet”
The Voice Lyrics Translation – Banquet Soundtrack
SKY-HI sings about rejecting easy answers and the pressure to conform. He drafts a specific line: ‘I’m fine with being the nail that sticks out.’ The poet offers a tribute to finding your own path, no matter how messy it gets.

Kizu mo naku ikirareta naraand live my life without any scars,
