ENGLISH
Staring blankly, suddenly,
I was worried that it’d pierce through
Because I didn’t want to waste any moment with my eyes closed
It’s getting blurry because I don’t sleep
You
Even if my two bloodshot eyes lose their focus
I miss you
I want to see you
I want to see you more
Even if it’s the dark future that I saw together with you
I miss you
I want to see you
It’s not that I was fine, I’ve been holding it in all these while
I loved you as much as my eyes have turned red
You were truly my everything back then
The love that felt like a snowball* fight was like peace to me
Putting some eyedrops
Hoping to gain your sympathy
I worked hard to get rid of your coloured glasses (prejudice)**
The ‘me’ that felt predictable in your eyes was what I created on my own
The ‘me’ that became obvious was what you created in the end
At the start I was blinded by you, and now I’m blinded
Even though you were too big, you were just a small dot when seen from afar***
In our dried up relationship, tears were necessary
You used to always call that acting like a baby
It’s time to take off the glasses and wipe off those tears
You’ll be happy even if I’m sad
Save my blinded eyes again from these faded memories
Like the memories of a midsummer’s night that came to me
You
Even if my two bloodshot eyes lose their focus
I miss you
I want to see you
I want to see you more
Even if it’s the dark future that I saw together with you
I miss you
I want to see you
I want to see you
I want to see you
I want to see you
I want to see you
T/N:
* The Korean word for "snow" has the same pronunciation as "eyes" (눈)
** Coloured glasses (색안경) carries the meaning of 'having prejudice'
*** Word play on 'going blind' (눈멀다) and 'from afar' (멀리)
KOREAN
물끄러미 바라보다 문득
뚫어질까 걱정했어
눈을 감는 순간도 아까워서 잠을
안 자니까 흐릿해져 가는걸
너
충혈된 두 눈이 초점을 잃어가도
보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
난 더
보고 싶어
너와 보고 있던 게 까만 미래였어도
보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
멀쩡한 게 아니라
그동안 많이 참아왔던 거야
눈이 시뻘게질 만큼 너를 사랑했던 거야
그때 너는 내게 정말 전부였던 거야
눈싸움 같은 사랑은 내겐 평화였던 거야
인공 눈물을 부어
너의 동정을 얻어내려
노력했지 너의 색안경을 걷어내려
너의 눈에 뻔한 나는 내가 만든 거고
뻔해져 버린 나는 결국 너가 만든 거야
처음엔 너에게 눈이 멀었고
지금은 눈이 멀었지
너무 컸던 너는 멀리 보면 작은 점이었지
건조해진 관계엔 눈물이 절실했고
너는 그걸 어리광이라고 표현하곤 했어
안경을 벗고 눈물을 닦어내야 될 차례
넌 내가 슬퍼도 행복할 테니 내 빛바랬던
추억들에 멀어버린 눈을 다시 살려
한여름 밤의 추억처럼 내게 다가왔던
너
충혈된 두 눈이 초점을 잃어가도
보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
난 더
보고 싶어
너와 보고 있던 게 까만 미래였어도
보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어
널 보고 싶어

Trivia:
This is Giriboy's favourite song off this album. He wrote and re-wrote the lyrics multiple times to make sure that everything made sense (unlike his usual style, which is purely following his stream of consciousness), and ended up feeling attached to it.
Giriboy did not do Lasik – he titled the song "Lasik" because he thought it sounded smart.
