[Intro, KAEL, spoken, over a single held low synth] It was holding. Until it wasn’t. [Verse 1, KAEL, restrained, grounded] 팽팽한 줄 위에 서서 오래 버텼어 아무도 몰랐지, 얼마나 당 겨져 있었는지 Every day a little tighter, every smile a little thinner Told myself it’s fine, 그렇게 몇 해를 보냈어. [Pre-Chorus, JUNO, tension building, breathy] Hear it hum, hear it strain. 이러다 정말 끊어질 것 같아 One more breath, one more day But the sound is getting loud. [Chorus, ELIO lead, KAEL low harmony, restrained still] 툭, 끊어졌어 Quiet, then it’s gone. 툭, 끊어졌어 Where do I stand now? [Verse 2, RYUEN, short, broken, almost spoken] Didn’t break loud, it just let go 소리 도 없이, 그냥 툭 Waited for the crash, the fall, the end Nothing came. Just air. Just me. Turns out the thing that kept me tight It was the same thing that kept me small. [Pre-Chorus, JUNO, tension building] Hear it hum, hear it strain. 이러다 정말 끊어질 것 같아 One more breath, one more day But the sound is getting loud. [Chorus, ELIO lead, KAEL low harmony, still restrained] 툭, 끊어졌어 Quiet, then it’s gone. 툭, 끊어졌어 Where do I stand now? [Breakdown: every instrument cuts out, ELIO alone, half a bar of silence after] ELIO: 툭. (silence, half a bar) [Bridge, KAEL, low, then ELIO, then JUNO, slowly rebuilding with a single warm pad] KAEL: What if the break was the way out JUNO: 놓는다는 건 지는 게 아니라 ELIO: 무게를 내 려놓는 거라면 KAEL: Then I’m still standing. ALL: 이제 놔도 돼. [Final Chorus: The full band returns open and bright, ELIO leads, and the full group joins on the hook.] 툭, 끊어졌어 And I’m still standing. 이제 놔도 돼. Snap, and I’m still here. 툭, 끊어졌어 And I’m still standing. 이제 놔도 돼. Snap, and I’m still here. [Outro, KAEL, spoken, fading into one clean warm chord] Still here.
