Vemod by Nils (PRXME)

Album: Dramaturgy “Dramaturgy for an idol is the art of crafting every performance, persona, and emotion into a story—on stage and off—where each move, smile, and song becomes part of a carefully curated narrative.” ACT IV: The Emotional Collapse "Vemod" is a word in Swedish and Norwegian meaning pensive melancholy or a tender sadness that involves a sense of longing for things past or future. "Mangata" is a Swedish word meaning "the road-like reflection of the moon on water". Uses motifs like piano, notes, and making classical references such as nocturne to represent the loss of being able to understand what kind of music an individual wants to make, thus the "longing" for the old days when making music felt more free and liberating. --- Lyrics: [Verse] 처음 닿는 순간 녹아, 오고 가 Happiness never lasts long, 음표가 dissonantly 울려 Ineffable whispers, 손끝에 닿기 전에 안개처럼 사라져 내 안에서 겨울 폭풍이 소용돌이쳐 조용한 eremition을 기도하며, 우리만의 requiem이 되길 [Pre-Chorus] 모든 추도사가 내 가슴을 찔러, 단검처럼 날 갈기듯 내 영혼을 opus에 쏟아, 미친 경계로 날 몰아 내 심장은 예전엔 어떤 소리였을까? 너를 연주하던 내가 너무 잔인했어, 그런데 넌 달라 시간이 우리를 멀리 밀어, 음표는 흘러가, 난 허공만 잡아 [Chorus] Mångata, mångata, mångata Lead to where the choir sings Where nocturne still grieves 네가 돌아오지 않으니, 내 영혼은 남겨진 score를 품어 그 안에 너의 형상이 담기길 바라 Vemod가 내 혈관 속을 흐르네 (Mångata, mångata, mångata) [Hook] 넌 나를 위로하던 친구였지 모든 고난과 차이 속에서 그때 삶은 단순했어: black and white 차별은 없고, highs와 lows가 교향곡처럼 울렸지 여분의 소음, gilded illusions은 필요 없었어 너의 웃음이 soft legato를 실어 날았어 My dear, piano [Verse] 너의 자장가는 나를 잠들게 했고, 평화를 지켜줬지 너의 키가 부서져, 상처와 silent scream을 남겼어 처음부터 우리를 이해한 사람은 없었어 언제나 단둘이었지 Just you and me (Just you and me) [Pre-Chorus] 모든 추도사가 내 가슴을 찔러, 단검처럼 날 갈기듯 내 영혼을 opus에 쏟아, 미친 경계로 날 몰아 내 심장은 예전엔 어떤 소리였을까? 너를 연주하던 내가 너무 잔인했어, 그런데 넌 달라 시간이 우리를 멀리 밀어, 음표는 흘러가, 난 허공만 잡아 [Chorus] Mångata, mångata, mångata Lead to where the choir sings Where nocturne still grieves 네가 돌아오지 않으니, 내 영혼은 남겨진 score를 품어 그 안에 너의 형상이 담기길 바라 Vemod가 내 혈관 속을 흐르네 (Mångata, mångata, mångata) [Hook] 넌 나를 위로하던 친구였지 모든 고난과 차이 속에서 그때 삶은 단순했어: black and white 차별은 없고, highs와 lows가 교향곡처럼 울렸지 여분의 소음, gilded illusions은 필요 없었어 너의 웃음이 soft legato를 실어 날았어 My dear, piano [Outro] 고요 속에서 아직도 널 들어, 내게 외치는 소리 달빛이 우리가 남긴 형상을 따라 흘러 메아리가 널 내게 데려오길 바라 Vemod가 모든 쉼표, 모든 숨결 속을 흐르네 그리고 정적 속에서, 나는 널 느껴, 부드럽고 먼 Just you and me (Just you and me) ‧₊˚𝄞 Eng ver. 𝄢₊˚⊹ [Verse] Melt at first touch, come and go Happiness never lasts long as the notes echo dissonantly Ineffable whispers, dissolving like mist before I press the keys There’s a winter storm swirling inside me, Praying for a quiet eremition that becomes our requiem [Pre-Chorus] Every eulogy pierces through me, a dagger tearing me to pieces Pouring my soul into the opus that drives me to the edge of insanity What did my heart used to sound like? It’s cruel how I used to play you, but you’re not the same Time drives us apart, the notes slip away, and I’m grasping at straws [Chorus] Mångata, mångata, mångata Lead to where the choir sings Where nocturne still grieves Since you’re never coming back, my soul’s cradling the score you left behind Hoping it’ll hold the shape of you Vemod flowing through my veins (Mångata, mångata, mångata) [Hook] You were the friend that used to comfort me Through all the hardships and discrepancies Life seemed so simple back then: black and white But there was no discrimination, just the highs and lows that sang symphonies Didn’t need all the extra noise, the gilded illusions Just your laughter carrying a soft legato My dear, piano [Verse] Your lullabies soothed me to sleep, kept the peace Your keys broke apart, left a scar, and a silent scream No one understood us from the start It was always just you and me Just you and me (Just you and me) [Pre-Chorus] Every eulogy pierces through me, a dagger tearing me to pieces Pouring my soul into the opus that drives me to the edge of insanity What did my heart used to sound like? It’s cruel how I used to play you, but you’re not the same Time drives us apart, the notes slip away, and I’m grasping at straws [Chorus] Mångata, mångata, mångata Lead to where the choir sings Where nocturne still grieves Since you’re never coming back, my soul’s cradling the score you left behind Hoping it’ll hold the shape of you Vemod flowing through my veins (Mångata, mångata, mångata) [Hook] You were the friend that used to comfort me Through all the hardships and discrepancies Life seemed so simple back then: black and white But there was no discrimination, just the highs and lows that sang symphonies Didn’t need all the extra noise, the gilded illusions Just your laughter carrying a soft legato My dear, piano [Outro] I still hear you in solitude, crying out to me Moonlight tracing the shape of what we were Hoping the echoes will carry you back to me Vemod flows through every pause, every breath And in the hush, I feel you, soft and distant Just you and me (Just you and me)
