Gilded by Dohyun (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 II: The Glamour Refers to motifs such as flowers and nature as innocence before realizing the stardom is a gilded stage (gold, jewelry, crowns, and king imagery), especially when the person or people you want to most aren't there to support you. --- Lyrics: [Verse] 그냥 꿈이었어, 어릴 적에 스쳐간 생각 하나 좋은 하늘, 나쁜 하늘 다 보면서 이야기했지 하지만 난 항상 궁금했어 내가 더 될 수 있을까? Than that person you’d admire on SCREEN [Verse] Infatuated by the cheers, 거짓말과 screams I had an EPIPHANY, 지킬 수 없는 promises 지금은 누군가를 쫓고 있어 Hopin’ you’ll look my way 빛 속으로 걸어 들어가는 조용한 그림자, I’m standing into the SPOTLIGHT [Chorus] 정상에 올라 blazing in all glory 결국 깨달았어, you’re not there 가슴 시려와, 멀어져만 가는 너 Falling, crumbling down, ennui~ Were we never meant to be? (Were we never meant to be?) [Verse] 사인들은 습관처럼 번지고, 미소는 점점 피 흘려 많이 이뤘지만, still it’s just glitter and gleam 너의 것이 아닌 환호 속에 잠겨, 매번 가슴은 더 아파와— Life’s a flower straining toward a sun it cannot reach, Radiant, pretty, beauty’s skin-deep Such an eye-candy [Hook] I’m not the man I used to be, 꽃잎을 쓰던 소년, 푸른 빛과 초록의 연약한 고리 이젠 금으로, hollow glory I’ve become the king [Chorus] 정상에 올라 blazing in all glory 결국 깨달았어, you’re not there 가슴 시려와, 멀어져만 가는 너 Falling, crumbling down, ennui~ Were we never meant to be? (Were we never meant to be?) [Verse] 내 목소린 떨리고, Every cheer is an empty call 이 왕국은 영원해 보이지만, 난 너무 작아 Living the shadow of a dream That I never thought true ‘Cause you’re the one I’m chasing [Hook] I’m not the man I used to be, 꽃잎을 쓰던 소년, 푸른 빛과 초록의 연약한 고리 이젠 금으로, hollow glory I’ve become the king [Post-Hook] Sitting on a throne, crown heavy, castle walls 뒤에 Watching people like they’ve become stars [Bridge] 데이지 꽃으로 왕관을 엮던 소년은 금빛과 jewelry 걸친 나를 몰라볼 거야 작은 두 손으론 멈출 수 없어 난 더 될 수 있을까? Than that person you’d admire on SCREEN I’m just a flower, you’re my sun Your flower And my sun ⊹₊♚ Eng ver. ♚₊⊹ [Verse] It was just a dream, A fleeting thought I had when we were children We’d see good and bad skies, talking about everything But I kept wondering Could I ever be more? Than that person you’d admire on SCREEN [Verse] Infatuated by the cheers, lies, and screams I had an EPIPHANY, promises that I couldn’t keep ‘Cause now there’s someone I’m chasing Hopin’ you’ll look my way A silent shadow stepping into the light, I’m standing into the SPOTLIGHT [Chorus] Reached the top, seen the summit, blazing in all glory Finally I’ve realized, you’re not there It stings to see, you’re farther away despite it all Falling, crumbling down, ennui~ Were we never meant to be? (Were we never meant to be?) [Verse] Autographs blur into routine while smiles begin to bleed, I’ve achieved so much, still it’s just glitter and gleam Drowning in adoration that isn’t yours, every heartbeat aches a little more— Life’s a flower straining toward a sun it cannot reach, Radiant, pretty, beauty’s skin-deep Such an eye-candy [Hook] I’m not the man I used to be, The boy who wore petals, Fragile rings of blue and green Become forged of gold and hollow glory I’ve become the king [Chorus] Reached the top, seen the summit, blazing in all glory Finally I’ve realized, you’re not there It stings to see, you’re farther away despite it all Falling, crumbling down, ennui~ Were we never meant to be? (Were we never meant to be?) [Verse] My voice is trembling, Every cheer is an empty call This kingdom feels eternal, But I feel so small Living the shadow of a dream That I never thought true ‘Cause you’re the one I’m chasing [Hook] I’m not the man I used to be, The boy who wore petals, Fragile rings of blue and green Become forged of gold and hollow glory I’ve become the king [Post-Hook] Sitting on a throne, the crown heavy while behind these castle walls Watching people like they’ve become stars [Bridge] The boy who wove crowns of daisies Wouldn’t recognize the “me” draped in gold and jewelry These small hands of mine can’t help But wonder if I could ever be more Than that person you’d admire on SCREEN I’m just a flower, you’re my sun Your flower And my sun
