Sixteen is a pretty fine age (Maybe the best age)

lyrics

연애는 타죽는 열사병
유통기한은 그저 반나절
배탈났다고 울어대지만
독을 마신 것은 자기 탓일 뿐

손으로도 잡지 못하는 우리의 사랑
눈으로 안보이는데 왜 할까, 이 자랑
마음 속으로는 계속 속삭이는 바람
유혹하는 사탕
떨어지는 만남
열일곱 살이라고
호르몬 부작용 탓이라고
세계의 여자아이들은 말한다
하지만 사랑은 존재했어!
핑계는 못 대갰어
미로를 해매댔어
마침내 찾아냈어
느끼던 감정을 말로
표현하는 방법을
성냥처럼 꺼져버린 내 사랑
자신을 속인 아이의 낭만
눈앞에서 사라진 장난
전염되는 나의 비탄

"I hope I die before I get old"
유치한 반란의 고졸
주머니는 손에 넣은채로 여자는 거리를 걷는다
서태지가 "교실 이데아"를 쓴지 25년이나 지났는데도
혁명은 커녕 체계 뿌리마저 억압을 받는 청춘의 ghetto
죽어도 싫어
반사된 mirror
감정은 있어
결국엔 잃어
그러면 애초에 왜 하는 걸까?
청소년의 사랑은 유한할 운명인가?
마! 음! 을!
들끓이기 위해서는 무엇이든 희생하겠지
음악 듣는 것도 애도이겠지
그런 응원따위도
역시 구원일지도

Sixteen is a pretty fine age (Maybe the best age)

Romance burns to death with a heat stroke
The expiry date is just one night away
You cry because of the food posioning
But the one who’s at fault is the one who drank the posion

Our love is unholdable by hand
And you can’t even see it with your eyes, so why do we brag about it
A desire keeps whispering in the heart
Like a seducing candy
A meeting is torn apart
“It’s cause we’re sixteen
It’s cause of our hormone imbalance”
So says young girls across the world
But love had existed all along!
Can’t make excuses anymore
I was lost in a maze
But at last, I found it
The way to express
These emotions through words
My love was killed like a match that went out
The romance of a girl who lied to herself
Trickery vanished right before my eyes
My heartbreak is contagious

"I hope I die before I get old"
Immature words of rebellion, spewed by a high school graduate
Now the girl walks the street, hands in her pocket
It's been 25 years since Seo Taeji wrote "Classroom Ideals"
But forget a revolution, the ghetto of our youth has been oppressed from the roots of the system itself
I would rather die
The mirror reflects
The feelings are there
But it is eventually lost
Then why do we even try?
Are the love of teens fated to be finite?
To churn their heart
They'd give up anything
Then perhaps listening to music is a form of offering condolences
Such celebration, then
May turn out to be a kind of savior as well

“Frankly, pop culture is a bit better at rocking people emotionally than the better chunk of the so-called fine arts.” - Kadono Kouhei, authour of ‘Boogiepop’

“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가
