검정치마 (The Black Skirts) – 안티프리즈 (Antifreeze)

I wasn’t too wrong on being excited. People are nice, especially mi manager Alfredo, great hombre indeed.
I mean, I feel like a guy who orders a slice of taco pizza topped with a mountain of lettuce has to be nice. He
even asked for extra hot salsa on the side. Salsa, for his pizza. Which he proceeded to eat with a fork and knife.
And with his eloquently put “todo junto por favor,” he proved himself to be the nicest manager. Alfredo for president.
The work itself seems to be pretty much as expected: Not too interesting, but interesting enough to keep me awake.
Work might become pretty exciting soon though, depending on how things unfold next week. Hopefully I’ll be writing
a post about how happy I am that things turned out to be the way they are. PLEASE DO WELL. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
IMG_5583Antifreeze is probably the first song I heard by The Black Skirts. I didn’t know that it was them at the time, but
for someone who’s not too big on band music, I was way too hooked to this song without knowing anything
about the band. While I’m not too familiar with Japanese pop/band songs (I’ve only heard them from anime
intros), most of the songs by The Black Skirts has that odd Japanese vibe to them. I like it. Certainly not
a song that I can just keep listening to, but definitely enjoyable once in awhile. It’s a little weird.


검정치마 – 안티프리즈

우린 오래 전 부터 어쩔 수 없는 거였어
우주 속을 혼자 떠돌며 많이 외로워 하다가
어느 순간 태양과 달이 겹치게 될때면
모든 것을 이해할 수 있을거야

하늘에선 비만 내렸어
뼈속까지 다 젖었어
얼마 있다 비가 그쳤어
대신 눈이 내리더니
영화속에 볼 수 있던 눈보라가 불 때
너는 내가 처음 봤던 눈동자야

낯익은 거리들이 거울처럼 반짝여도
니가 건네주는 커피 위에 살얼음이 떠도
우리둘은 얼어붙지 않을거야
바다속의 모래까지 녹을꺼야
춤을 추며 절망이랑 싸울거야
얼어붙은 아스팔트 도시위로

숨이 막힐 것 같이 차가웠던 공기속에
너의 체온이 내게 스며들어 오고 있어
우리 둘은 얼어붙지 않을꺼야
바다속의 모래까지 녹을꺼야
춤을 추며 절망이랑 싸울꺼야
얼어붙은 아스팔트 도시위로

너와 나의 세대가 마지막이면 어떡해
또 다른 빙하기가 찾아오면은 어떡해
긴 세월을 변하지 않을 그런 사랑은 없겠지만
그 사랑을 기다려 줄 그런 사람을 찾는거야

긴 세월을 변하지 않을 그런 사랑은 없겠지만
그 사랑을 기다려 줄 그런 사람을 찾는거야
The Black Skirts – Antifreeze

We were hopeless from the start
Floating in space all alone
The moment the sun and moon collide
Everything will become clear

Rain kept falling from the sky
Drenching me down to my bones
Soon the rain stopped
And snow began to fall
In a snowstorm like in the movies
You were the first eye that I saw

Even if the streets shine like mirrors
And your coffee gets covered in frost
You and I won’t freeze
Everything will melt to the bottom of the sea
We’ll dance to fight the despair
On the frozen asphalt covering the city

As I gasp for breath in the cold
Your warmth soaks through my body
You and I won’t freeze
Everything will melt to the bottom of the sea
We’ll dance to fight the despair
On the frozen asphalt covering the city

What if our generation is the last
What if another ice age is coming
I know there isn’t such thing as a never-changing love
But I want someone who’s forever waiting for that love

I know there isn’t such thing as a never-changing love
But I want someone who’s forever waiting for that love

201 was the very first album that got me into The Black Skirts. I was obsessed with the song ‘좋아해줘’ and ‘강아지’. From there, I moved on to ‘Don’t Worry Baby I’m Only Swimming’ album. I don’t know korean so i was more intrigued with the sound itself. So thank you for these lyrics!

On another note, I’d like to request you do a lyric of 타카피’s songs. They are one of my favorites! I hardly see any songs from them much less the lyrics to their songs so that will be very much appreciated.
