Finally a break from Standing Egg! They need to stop releasing songs. Anyways, I’m here today with a song a lot of people have been requesting: Romance by Cheeze.
Admittedly, I spent a shameful amount of my time in high school dreaming about romance, probably because the likelihood of me getting an actual girl was as unlikely as a particle existing outside the walls of an infinite potential well (which is infinitely improbable by the way… and now you understand why it was that way). It was during those dark times that I began to come up with oddly specific and very innocent fantasies related to romance. I then revised and refined them over the years to turn what used to be a wishlist into a checklist. Just to give you an idea of what they are, one of them is eating Shabu-shabu with my wife at a restaurant bar table, looking into her eyes, telling my usual (horrible) jokes to her, who then chuckles along as she has long given up and admitted defeat to my painful sense of humor. Yes, specific, but cute, no? OK, no. Well in any case, none of this matters unless I find the wife.
I’m the type of guy who likes to analyze and predict everything, and love is no exception (classic INTJ). It’s weird and somewhat sad to look at it this way, but a relationship has only two possible outcomes: breakup or marriage. Yet there’s something special to this whole beautiful mess that planning ahead for both outcomes simply doesn’t fly. Once you take up on the mindset of one, the possibility of the other goes to nil. Well, of course, reality plays its cruel game to roll the die of truth, but we still determine the odds of the die. I think over the last few relationships, for whatever reason, I always hedged my bets. I never gave it my all, not realizing that the more I hedged, the more the odds played against me. And now, I think I’ve learned to just give it my all. Who cares if she may end up as my sweetest nightmare? Not me. It’s 1 AM… I need to sleep. It’s never good to write posts this late, or I end up with this gooey muck. I’m gonna get a 2/10 for this post.
Oh, and if you got this far, I’m thinking of making a year-end video for the top 10 indie songs of 2015, so let me know of your favorite songs of this year.

빨간 풍선에 가득 담긴
꽃잎에 짙은 향기 품고서
무표정으로 내게 다가와
귓가에 깊이 색을 물들여 그저 웃음 짓네
차가운 기억에 머무는 듯해
나란히 겹쳐지는 따뜻한 기억에도
어두운 곳에 갇혀있는 듯해
두 눈이 멈춰있는 그곳에
Walking through the night 곁에 함께
존재했던 그대 뒷모습이 아직도 내게는
달콤했던 순간인지, 긴 악몽인지
어지럽게 날 뒤흔드는 가위처럼
혼자서는 잠이 들고 깨기가 예전처럼 쉽지가 않아
은근하게 날 조여오는 매 순간에 갈 곳을 잃은 내 기억 속은
Walking through the night 곁에 함께
존재했던 그대 뒷모습이 아직도 내게는
달콤했던 순간인지, 긴 악몽인지
어지럽게 날 뒤흔드는 가위처럼
Walking through the night 곁에 함께
존재했던 그대 뒷모습이 아직도 내게는
달콤했던 순간인지, 긴 악몽인지
어지럽게 날 뒤흔드는 가위처럼
With a red balloon full of
Your deep flowery scent
You surround me in your
Lifeless hollow smile
All our warm memories together
Can’t melt my heart
That has been frozen over
By that cold stare of yours
Walking through the night, side by side
The faint silhouette of your back
Still haunt me as my sweetest nightmare
Like the strings of a puppeteer
Losing sleep over the cold half of the bed
As your wandering image gently crushes me down
Walking through the night, side by side
The faint silhouette of your back
Still haunt me as my sweetest nightmare
Like the strings of a puppeteer
Walking through the night, side by side
The faint silhouette of your back
Still haunt me as my sweetest nightmare
Like the strings of a puppeteer
