Candy-coated

STUDIO

🧑 𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐐'𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐠 It started as a simple idea, just a light song about 'candy'. But somehow, as it always does, it turned into something deeply personal again. My own life experiences just seeped in, and before I knew it, the lyrics were filled with cynical insights and a firm resolution. But... well, if I'm being perfectly honest here? Even with everything I wrote in the song, I guess I still find myself wanting to hear a few more of those candy-coated words right now. Just for now, anyway. πŸ˜‚πŸ­πŸ˜‹ ──────── Every sweet thing in the world... Has a hidden side. Yeah, It means there's always a price to pay. Peel away the flashy wrapper All the colors, bright and beautiful Pop it in, just taste the sweet Close your eyes in that blissful moment But tell me, will it last forever? A fleeting pleasure, then it’s gone So what are you left with in the end? Trying to extend the high Chasing down the sweetest prize You pop another, and another But all you get is rotting teeth To get that lift you're looking for To rationalize what you've become You listen closer, beg for more But all you get is a rotting life I don't want your candy-coated words Yeah, I'm done with all the sweet talk Your soulless praise and promises you'll break So don't you offer 'em to me, baby I don't need that sugar high Drunk on dopamine for just a moment I refuse to just rot away I'm breakin' free, that's my real vibe Whatever you say, whatever they say Take a good look all around you At all the kind smiles and tender eyes The ones who feed you honeyed lines How long will they stay on your side? Or were they ever on your side at all? Everyone's just dreaming of their own sweet prize Trying to extend the high Chasing down the sweetest prize You pop another, and another But all you get is rotting teeth To get that lift you're looking for To rationalize what you've become You listen closer, beg for more But all you get is a rotting life I don't want your candy-coated words Yeah, I'm done with all the sweet talk Your soulless praise and promises you'll break So don't you offer 'em to me, baby I don't need that sugar high Drunk on dopamine for just a moment I refuse to just rot away I'm breakin' free, that's my real vibe Whatever you say, whatever they say Everyone dreams of a sweet life, and to get it They just keep whispering their sweet lies in your ear When I finally rot and collapse, you'll cheer, won't you? Soaked in the fantasy that your happiness will double But you probably know it too, don't you? That constant sweetness just gets old It's the taste you finally feel, after the bitter pain... That's the greatest sweetness life can ever hold. I don't want your candy-coated words (Done with all the sweet talk) Your soulless praise and promises you'll break So don't you offer 'em to me, baby I don't need that sugar high (Drunk on dopamine) I refuse to just rot away I'm breakin' free, that's my real vibe Whatever you say, whatever they say I'm going out to find my own kind of taste. 'Cause for me, more than your candy-coated words... The thrilling flavor that comes from liberation... ...That’s what tastes so much better to me. Candy-coated... Fade away. ──────── πŸ’ž 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 π“π«πšπ§π¬π₯𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐨𝐧 세상 λͺ¨λ“  λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 것듀엔... μˆ¨κ²¨μ§„ 이면이 μžˆμ–΄. 그래, λͺ¨λ“  것엔 λŒ“κ°€κ°€ λ”°λ₯΄μ§€. ν™”λ €ν•œ 포μž₯을 벗겨내 μ°¬λž€ν•˜κ²Œ 예쁜 색깔듀 μž…μ— λ„£κ³ , κ·Έ 달콀함을 맛봐 λˆˆμ„ 감고, κ·Έ μˆœκ°„μ˜ 행볡을 느껴 ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ 말해봐, 그게 μ˜μ›ν• κΉŒ? μ°°λ‚˜μ˜ 기쁨이 μ§€λ‚˜κ°€κ³  κ²°κ΅­ λ„€κ²Œ λ‚¨λŠ” 건 λ¬΄μ—‡μΌκΉŒ? κ·Έ 기뢄을 더 였래 느끼고 μ‹Άμ–΄μ„œ κ°€μž₯ λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 보상을 μ«“μ•„ ν•˜λ‚˜ 더, 또 ν•˜λ‚˜ 더 μž…μ— λ„£μ§€λ§Œ κ²°κ΅­ λ‚¨λŠ” 건 μ©μ–΄κ°€λŠ” μΉ˜μ•„λΏ κ·Έ 기뢄을 λŒμ–΄μ˜¬λ¦¬κΈ° μœ„ν•΄, λ„€ ν–‰μœ„μ— 합리화 ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄, 더 κ·€λ₯Ό 기울이고, 더 κ°ˆλ§ν•΄λ„ λŒμ•„μ˜€λŠ” 건 μ©μ–΄κ°€λŠ” 인생뿐 λ„ˆμ˜ μ‚¬νƒ•λ°œλ¦Ό 말 λ”°μœ„, λ‚œ ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ 그래, 그런 말듀엔 μ§ˆλ Έμ–΄ λ„ˆμ˜ 영혼 μ—†λŠ” μΉ­μ°¬κ³Ό 지킬 리 μ—†λŠ” 약속듀 κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆ λ‚΄κ²Œ κ·Έλ”΄ 말 ν•˜μ§€ 마, baby λ‚œ 그런 μŠˆκ°€ ν•˜μ΄λŠ” ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ μ°°λ‚˜μ˜ λ„νŒŒλ―Όμ— μ·¨ν•˜κ³  μ‹Άμ§€ μ•Šμ•„ λ‚œ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ 썩어가긴 μ‹«μ–΄ λ‚œ λ²—μ–΄λ‚  κ±°μ•Ό, 그게 μ§„μ§œ λ‚΄ λ°”μ΄λΈŒμ•Ό λ„€κ°€ 뭐라든, λˆ„κ°€ 뭐라든 λ„€ μ£Όμœ„λ₯Ό 찬찬히 λ‘˜λŸ¬λ΄ μΉœμ ˆν•œ λ―Έμ†Œμ™€ λ‹€μ •ν•œ λˆˆλΉ›λ“€ λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 말둜 널 μ±„μ›Œμ£ΌλŠ” μ‚¬λžŒλ“€ 그듀은 κ³Όμ—°, μ–Έμ œκΉŒμ§€ λ„€ 곁에 μžˆμ„κΉŒ? μ•„λ‹ˆ, μ• μ΄ˆμ— λ„€ 편이긴 ν–ˆμ„κΉŒ? λͺ¨λ‘κ°€ κ·Έμ € μžμ‹ λ§Œμ˜ 달콀함을 κΏˆκΏ€ 뿐 κ·Έ 기뢄을 더 였래 느끼고 μ‹Άμ–΄μ„œ κ°€μž₯ λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 보상을 μ«“μ•„ ν•˜λ‚˜ 더, 또 ν•˜λ‚˜ 더 μž…μ— λ„£μ§€λ§Œ κ²°κ΅­ λ‚¨λŠ” 건 μ©μ–΄κ°€λŠ” μΉ˜μ•„λΏ κ·Έ 기뢄을 λŒμ–΄μ˜¬λ¦¬κΈ° μœ„ν•΄, λ„€ ν–‰μœ„μ— 합리화 ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄, 더 κ·€λ₯Ό 기울이고, 더 κ°ˆλ§ν•΄λ„ λŒμ•„μ˜€λŠ” 건 μ©μ–΄κ°€λŠ” 인생뿐 λ„ˆμ˜ μ‚¬νƒ•λ°œλ¦Ό 말 λ”°μœ„, λ‚œ ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ 그래, 그런 말듀엔 μ§ˆλ Έμ–΄ λ„ˆμ˜ 영혼 μ—†λŠ” μΉ­μ°¬κ³Ό 지킬 리 μ—†λŠ” 약속듀 κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆ λ‚΄κ²Œ κ·Έλ”΄ 말 ν•˜μ§€ 마, baby λ‚œ 그런 μŠˆκ°€ ν•˜μ΄λŠ” ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ μ°°λ‚˜μ˜ λ„νŒŒλ―Όμ— μ·¨ν•˜κ³  μ‹Άμ§€ μ•Šμ•„ λ‚œ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ 썩어가긴 μ‹«μ–΄ λ‚œ λ²—μ–΄λ‚  κ±°μ•Ό, 그게 μ§„μ§œ λ‚΄ λ°”μ΄λΈŒμ•Ό λ„€κ°€ 뭐라든, λˆ„κ°€ 뭐라든 λͺ¨λ‘κ°€ λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 삢을 꿈꾸고, κ·Έκ±Έ μ–»κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ 귓가에 λ‹¬μ½€ν•œ 거짓말을 μ†μ‚­μ—¬λŒ€μ§€ λ‚΄κ°€ κ²°κ΅­ 썩어 λ¬΄λ„ˆμ§€λ©΄, λ„Œ ν™˜ν˜Έν•˜κ² μ§€? λ„€ 행볡이 두 λ°°κ°€ 될 κ±°λΌλŠ” ν™˜μƒμ— λΉ μ Έμ„œ ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ λ„ˆλ„ μ•Œκ³  μžˆμ„κ»„? κ³„μ†λ˜λŠ” 달콀함은 κ²°κ΅­ 질릴 λΏμ΄λž€ κ±Έ μ“°λ””μ“΄ 고톡 끝에 λŠκ»΄μ§€λŠ” κ·Έ λ§›μ΄μ•Όλ§λ‘œβ€¦ μΈμƒμ˜ μ§„μ§œ λ‹¬μ½€ν•¨μ΄λΌλŠ” κ±Έ λ„ˆμ˜ μ‚¬νƒ•λ°œλ¦Ό 말 λ”°μœ„, λ‚œ ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ (κ·Έ λ“£κΈ° 쒋은 말, 이젠 μ§ˆλ Έμ–΄) λ„ˆμ˜ 영혼 μ—†λŠ” μΉ­μ°¬κ³Ό 지킬 리 μ—†λŠ” 약속듀 κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆ λ‚΄κ²Œ κ·Έλ”΄ 말 ν•˜μ§€ 마, baby λ‚œ 그런 μŠˆκ°€ ν•˜μ΄λŠ” ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄ (λ„νŒŒλ―Όμ— μ·¨ν•΄ μ–΄μ©ŒλΌκ³ ) λ‚œ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ 썩어가긴 μ‹«μ–΄ λ‚œ λ²—μ–΄λ‚  κ±°μ•Ό, 그게 μ§„μ§œ λ‚΄ λ°”μ΄λΈŒμ•Ό λ„€κ°€ 뭐라든, λˆ„κ°€ 뭐라든 이제 λ‚˜λ§Œμ˜ 맛을 μ°Ύμ•„ κ°€κ² μ–΄ μ™œλƒλ©΄, λ„ˆμ˜ μ‚¬νƒ•λ°œλ¦Ό 말듀보닀… ν•΄λ°©κ°μ—μ„œ λΉ„λ‘―λ˜λŠ” κ·Έ μ§œλ¦Ών•œ 풍미… β€¦κ·Έκ²Œ 훨씬 더 λ§›μžˆκ±°λ“  μ‚¬νƒ•λ°œλ¦Όβ€¦ 사라져버렀 ──────── 𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐐 | suno.com/@zarq Lyrics, Music and Arrangement: Β© 2025 ZARQ.
