☸️ Concept ⚛️

"Hummingbirds keep beating their wings to avoid falling.
Like people in this city, trying to survive desperately."

The background of this song is based on a fictional theory:

Eventually, every human brain will lose the ability to dream.
Dreams will become countless, duplicatable cans which can only be produced and sold to civilians by governmental factories.These artificial dreams can make people indulge in the same peaceful, calming illusions. Again and again, without anxiety and pain.

Until one day, someone opens the can but dives into a completely different dream.An unexpected adventure begins to emerge in this world quietly...

“Unloose the feelings, you’ll be no one else.”

“벌새” - 날개를 끊임없이 퍼덕여야만 공중에 머무를 수 있는 새. 마치 절박히 살아남으려 애쓰는 이 도시의 사람들처럼.

만약 어느 날, 사람들이 꿈을 꿀 능력을 잃고, 꿈이 상품처럼 팔려 소진된다면, 우리는 혼란과 불안 없이 평화와 호의로 가득 찬 꿈만을 찾을 수 있을 것입니다. 그 후에, 뜻밖에 이상한 꿈과 모험이 우리 마음에 펼쳐지기 시작하고 새로운 이야기가 시작됩니다.

“감정을 놓아주면, 비로소 나 자신이 될 것이다”

lyrics

☸️ Lyrics ⚛️

Exhausted hummingbirds, collapse on the ground
You say you dreamed of something peaceful

Can you hear that I’m calling you?
Between the crumbling dreams and people’s words
The long-awaited misfortune has arrived
We will die, just in a while
Why do you hide your broken heart in lies
Is it just me, or you feel it too?

Feeling the ocean
We dive in the spell of life

For the rest, we’ll hunt, forevermore
The distant shore lies more remote

Whispers of silence
Oh, follow the sound of mine

We’ll keep on going, though we’re so tired
We’ll keep on living against the odds

Here comes the night we made
where all the words were faded away
So stay with me
Those dreams still rave on
Unloose the feelings
You’ll be no one else

Avoiding illusion
Just follow the sound of mine

The sun
The moon
Have we lost?

Take it to higher
And that’s how we stay alive

So keep on living. Keep on trying
Don’t get lost. Keep it tight
We’ll keep on going, though we’re so tired
We’ll keep on living against the odds

Here comes the night we made
where all the words were faded away
So stay with me
Those dreams still rave on
Unloose emotions
You’ll be no one else
