Mortal is the first track of the album. It opens the whole track with such beautiful narration. I love the song as it is, the narration, instrumental, it’s all beautiful. Just to note this is just my interpretation, not a direct translation, jokes on yall i cant even speak any of the language used in the song other than English. i got the help of google translation lol. This might count as a whole new piece of poem based off the song. I just love doing this yall
반드시 오고야 마는 마지막 불멸하는 것은 오직 필멸뿐
Every world is bounded and so winter eventually gives way to spring
放たれた矢のように いつかの終焉に向かってひた走る僕らは
巡り巡る刹那の中でようやく人生の美しさに気づくんだ
Regret, shame, I've tasted their bitter dregs
불멸 따위 너를 위해 얼마든지 버려주겠다고 다짐했고
날 기다리는 것이 텅 빈 채 침전하는 결말이라 해도
그것이 너에게로 가는 길이라면 괜찮았다
우주의 별빛조차 언젠간 눈을 감아
이 모든 순간이 소중한 걸
찰나의 반복 속 아로새길
Carpe diem, carpe diem
끝을 향한 여정이어도 좋아
너와 손잡고 갈 수만 있다면
Oh, 필멸 속에서도
Yeah, 아름다울 거야
Such is my being and again you reach out
君という光をこの瞳に宿して僕が僕でいられるように
温かい息吹を吹き込んでくれた 今の僕を作ってくれた
You made me whole, 나를 완성해 주었다
그럼에도 여전히 영혼에 남아 있는 저주의 초라한 흔적
化け物の心臓は この愛もいつかは終わるのだと叫んでいる
But even if I'm still tainted by the curse
Even if this love won't last forever, so what?
너 없이 영겁의 시간을 보낼 바에야
유한한 시간 속을 너와 함께 떠돌고 싶다
우주의 별빛조차 언젠간 눈을 감아
이 모든 순간이 소중한 걸
찰나의 반복 속 아로새길
Carpe diem, carpe diem
끝을 향한 여정이어도 좋아
너와 손잡고 갈 수만 있다면
Oh, 필멸 속에서도
Yeah, 아름다울 거야
A flower is beautiful for its bloom is not eternal, I know that now
Thoughts of mortality shall no longer bind me to this world
후회하지 않도록 지금 이 순간 최선을 다해 널 사랑하는 것
限りあるからこそ美しい僕らを守るために 今という時間を生きること
"When you open your eyes, remember these reasons"
The unwavering orange-bright sunrise reminds me
Interpretation
The last that must come,
The one immortal is mortality.
Every world is bounded,
And winter carves our way to spring.
A moment for us, who thought the present
Was painted with the beauty of immortality,
In the abyss of an unreachable Forever.
The beauty of human life is in its impermanence.
Regrets, shame—I've endured these bitter dregs.
Immortality, who promised Forever to us
I promise, I’ll let it slip through my fingertips.
A moment of waiting will fade like you.
Even if the end is always near,
Written in the stars of my promised demise,
If it's a testament to the path to you,
I'll weather it for you.
Carpe diem, carpe diem, with you
Even the starlight of the universe
Will burst into echoes someday.
All these moments, where the end is waiting,
I’ll repeat them day after day, on this carved-out road.
Carpe diem, carpe diem, with you
I don’t mind if it’s a journey toward the end,
With your hand in mine, in this mortal world,
Where cold meets warmth,
It will be beautiful.
I hold the light I once called you in my eyes.
You breathed a warm breath into me—
Like a work of art,
You made me whole again.
Nevertheless, this cursed seeking of Forever
Leaves shabby traces, remnants in my soul.
Even if this love won’t last forever,
I’ll spend my life wandering with you.
A flower is beautiful for its bloom not eternal
Thoughts of mortality shall no longer bind me.
I’ll give my all in the moment of impermanence—
I shall love you.
Let's look at the beauty here and there, for us to crave
Let's live this life, in this moment
"When you open your eyes, remember these reasons."
The unwavering orange-bright sunrise has awakened me
