**"DEMIAN"** (Hangul: 데미안) is the third track featured in Dreamcatcher's 8th Mini Album, *"Apocalypse: From us"*.

## Description

### English

Confusion & Anger: You can simply make your own judgment about what is good and what is evil. However, sometimes it is difficult to judge easily in certain situations. Is this good or evil, is it right or wrong, or is it just different?

DEMIAN is a song of the nu-metal genre that stands out with a cheerful bass and a booming synthesizer sound.

### Korean

혼란 & 분노: 단순히 어떤 것이 선이고 악인지에 대한 판단은 스스로 내릴 수 있다. 하지만 가끔 특정 상황에서는 쉽게 판단하기 어렵다. 이것이 선인지, 악인지, 또 맞는 것인지, 틀린 것인지, 아니면 그저 다를 뿐인 건지.

DEMIAN은 경쾌한 베이스와 벅차오르는 신디사이저의 사운드가 돋보이는 뉴메탈 장르의 곡으로, 나에게 또 다른 시각을 제시할 수 있는 ‘데미안’이 있다면, 조언을 구하고자 하는 마음을 담았다.

## Background

## Korean

Woo dangerous conversation
깊어진 Emotion
굳게 갖춰진 궤도
헤집어 놔도 좋아 네 세계로

내 맘의 반을 가린 채로
세상이 보여
예쁘게 포장해 거짓된
나로 감춰도

환상같은 너지만
현실은 독하니까
Stay with me tonight
This is a nightmare

Say, I’m confused now
Heart is racing, paranoid
I can’t trust what I feel
Everything’s void, close your eyes

우린 알아 대부분의 갇혀
있는 사고뿐인
사람들은 타락하지
정교해진 알을 깨고
나아가길 바라는 난
분노만이 가득하지 Uh

세상의 끝에 네가 서 있어
들어 줘 내 목소리
그대는 언제나
나의 Demian oh Demian (Oh)

스스로 커져 가는 악과
반면에 남은 진심 사이에
영원히 남아 줘
나의 Demian oh Demian

작은 그 목소리로부터
금을 가른 벽
(Break the wall)
설령 답이 아니라 해도
Don’t you ever stop

Say, I’m confused now
Heart is racing, paranoid
I can’t trust what I feel
Everything’s void, close your eyes

우린 알아 대부분의 갇혀
있는 사고뿐인
사람들은 타락하지
정교해진 알을 깨고
나아가길 바라는 난
분노만이 가득하지 Uh

세상의 끝에 네가 서 있어
들어 줘 내 목소리
그대는 언제나
나의 Demian oh Demian (Oh)

스스로 커져 가는 악과
반면에 남은 진심 사이에
영원히 남아 줘
나의 Demian oh Demian

Memories, chasing me
Now, it’s time to break free
뿌옇게 가려진
장막을 걷고 Whoa

Hoo hoo hoo oh

세상의 끝에 네가 보여
그곳에 가는 길 저편에
영원히 남아 줘
나의 Demian oh Demian (Oh)

Demian oh Demian (Oh)
Demian oh Demian

## English

Woo dangerous conversation
Deepening emotion
Break through the solid orbit
Into your world

With half my heart covered
I can see the world
It's false but I wrapped it nicely
Even if I hide myself

You're like a fantasy
But reality is tough
Stay with me tonight
This is a nightmare

Say, I’m confused now
Heart is racing, paranoid
I can’t trust what I feel
Everything’s void, close your eyes

We know that most people
Are trapped in their ways of thinking
And they become corrupt
Breaking free from this egg
I will keep moving on
I'm only filled with anger uh

Standing at the end of the world
Please listen to my voice
I know you will always be mine
You're my demian, oh demian (Oh)

Between the growing evil
And the remaining of sincerity
Please stay with me forever
You're my demian, oh demian

It started from a little voice
The crack in the wall
(Break the wall)
Even if it's not the answer
Don’t you ever stop

Say, I’m confused now
Heart is racing, paranoid
I can’t trust what I feel
Everything’s void, close your eyes

We know that most people
Are trapped in their ways of thinking
And they become corrupt
Breaking free from this egg
I will keep moving on
I'm only filled with anger uh

Standing at the end of the world
Please listen to my voice
I know you will always be mine
You're my demian, oh demian (Oh)

Between the growing evil
And the remaining of sincerity
Please stay with me forever
You're my demian, oh demian

Memories, chasing me
Now, it’s time to break free
In this dark shroud of fog
I'm gonna walk through whoa

Hoo hoo hoo oh

I see you at the end of the world
On the other side on the way over
Please stay with me forever
You're my demian, oh demian (Oh)

Demian, oh demian (Oh)
Demian, oh demian
