## Hangul

선,
하얀 도화지를 가르듯
세계를 가로질러 끝없이 이어지는 경계선,
線は僕にとって悪夢だった。

I kept running and running
Towards an unknown destination
Beyond the border
To cross the line.
어느새 그 선은
나를 쫓아와 묶어버리고 주저 앉힌 후
그저 쳇바퀴 맴돌듯
선 위를 따라 걷게 만들었다

でも
ダビデの石が
遠心力で飛んでいくように
加速したロケットが向心力を脱して、
軌道から飛び出すように
走って走って、また走った僕は
나는 이제 깨닫는다

And I declare
That I who was hunted so far
Have now become the hunter.
그저 선을 따라 걷던 난
선을 그리는 내가 된다

僕は新たな世界の線を引き
その世界の中で

僕、
I,
나,
우리가 연결되게 하리라

Draw the line!
Today is the first day
시작해 my new day

Don’t walk the line!
Today is the first day
시작해 my new day

날 가두는 선들을 지워
규칙 따윈 다 던져버려

새로운 선 내 길을 그려
We draw the new line
We draw the new line

光、
차가운 공기,
clear blue skies
I lift my eyes up to see the sun rising.

## English

A line,
A borderline that is laid out across the world
And endlessly continues like cutting through a white sheet of paper,
This line was a nightmare to me.

I kept running and running
Towards an unknown destination
Beyond the border
To cross the line.
But before I knew it, it caught up to me
And bound me, knocked me down
Then made me to walk along the line
Like I was running in a hamster wheel

However,
Like the stone of David
Which flies with centrifugal force,
Like an accelerated rocket escaping centripetal force
And jumping out of orbit,
I ran and ran, and I ran again
I realize it now

And I declare
That I who was hunted so far
Have now become the hunter.
I who used to just walk along the line
Become the one who draws the line

I will now draw a new world line
And within that world

I,
I,
I,
Will connect all of us

Draw the line!
Today is the first day
I begin my new day

Don’t walk the line!
Today is the first day
I begin my new day

Erase the lines that lock me down
Throw out all the rules

A new line, I draw my own path
We draw the new line
We draw the new line

Light,
cold air,
clear blue skies
I lift my eyes up to see the sun rising
