EPIK HIGH - 빈차 (Home Is Far Away) [English Translation]
[Intro: Oh Hyuk]
I have a long way to go
But there are no taxis
And it feels like it's gonna rain
The weight of today on top of my sagging shoulders
I wanna put it down for a moment
Home is far away

[Verse 1: Tablo]
Nothing has changed
I’m alone in this playground
I got on top of the high bars
But I've been on my tip toes all my life
What's always been asked of me
Is to reach a bit higher than I’m able to
The standards of the world is becoming like Everest
The more I go towards the top, stress builds up like a mountain
I know I can never rest
No sleeping pills to put my anxieties to sleep
So I'm biting down on my tongue and staying up all night
Since I was young
I was taught to stay in line
Now I know why
Complicated relationships, it's a paradox
Only relationships exist and there's no room for humans
Afraid of becoming ordinary, I dreamed a dream
But now, I'm jealous of the ordinary
As I stand all alone in the rain
If you don't grow, growing pains is just pain
[Chorus: Oh Hyuk]
I have a long way to go
But there are no taxis
And it feels like it's gonna rain
The weight of today on top of my sagging shoulders
I wanna put it down for a moment
Home is far away

[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
I get more and more scared
I'm running but my feet and heart forget why
Dreams just become baggage now
My only hope is to just leave it behind and run
Rushing myself to take just one more step
But when I looked up, I’m right in front of a cliff
I look back and all these expectations are lined up behind me
It pretends to support me but it’s pushing my back
I wanted to place a comma in my heart some time
But now it's mixed up with all these numbers
The calculating world holds out its hand
I don’t want to hold it but I'm even more scared of being empty-handed
I can hold it but would time really be the only thing that goes away?
As I look at the cloudy sky
I thought, I used to have dreams at one point
Tonight is another sleepless night
[Bridge: Oh Hyuk]
Can't you stop for a bit for me?
It's too hard to walk any longer
The wind blows and it’s still

[Chorus: Oh Hyuk]
A long way to go
But there are no taxis
And it feels like it's gonna rain
The weight of today on top of my sagging shoulders
I wanna put it down for a moment
Home is far away

[Outro: Mithra Jin, Oh Hyuk, Tablo]
Is there no place for me in this big world? (Home is far away)
Am I alone in this crowded street? (So, so far away)
Is there no empty seat for me?
So far away

What I had to do
There was something other than making money
What I had to do
There was something other than making money
What I had to do
There was something other than making money
Where I had to go
There was some kind of dream for me too, some kind
There was some kind of dream
