Jinjin

English Translation | Self-Esteem (자존감)

Jinjin

Trapped in my inferiority complex
Swallowed by my victim mentality
Sometimes I still feel suffocated when I work in my room
Staying up all night, soulless
When I fall asleep, nightmares torment me
Already evening, I wake up as the sun sets
Starting my day with the one I missed
With the lost day
Today, I blame yesterday’s me again
I know the answer
But I’m struggling due to lowered self-esteem
Even my struggles are my fault
Even my regrets are my fault
Even my inability to overcome my flaws is my fault
I gave up
On the guillotine I created

He looks sad
He looks sad
He looks sad

He looks bad
He looks bad
He looks bad

He looks mad
He looks mad
He looks mad

He looks mad
He looks mad

Please get me out of this darkness
If I want to see my shining self again
What should I do (what should I do)

Please make the me crying behind the mask smile
When reality is scary and fearful
What should I do (what should I do)

Raise your self-esteem higher
Don’t blame yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Go prove yourself
Raise your self-esteem higher

Don’t blame yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Go prove yourself
Raise your self-esteem higher

No matter how hard I struggle
Nothing changes
I sit alone
Repeating this, I’m exhausted
Even when I see tears in the mirror
I still feel I don’t cherish myself
I’m crooked alone
The fire in my heart goes out again
Everyone’s ahead
But my mind still can’t find an answer
I didn’t take a challenge
Just calculating alone, what’s the point
The wounds I ignored keep festering, pain again
Shadowboxing game, already drenched flame

He looks sad
He looks sad
He looks sad

He looks bad
He looks bad
He looks bad

He looks mad
He looks mad
He looks mad

He looks mad
He looks mad

Please get me out of this darkness
If I want to see my shining self again
What should I do (what should I do)

Please make the me crying behind the mask smile
When reality is scary and fearful
What should I do (what should I do)

Raise your self-esteem higher
Don’t blame yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Go prove yourself
Raise your self-esteem higher

Don’t blame yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Go prove yourself
Raise your self-esteem higher

Life
It’s not easy, right?
