🎼 01. TIME (Duration: 6:12)
Style: Cinematic Post-Rock
〈TIME〉은 시간이 모든 것을 치유해 준다는
흔한 위로에 대한 질문에서 시작된 곡입니다.
때로는 시간이 약이 되기는커녕, 아무것도 달라지지 않은 채
흘러가는 세상을 바라보게 하는 잔인한 존재처럼 느껴지기도 합니다.
세상은 아무 일도 없었다는 듯 앞으로 나아가지만,
마음은 여전히 어느 한순간에 멈춰 있는 것처럼 느껴지는 순간이 있습니다.
이 곡은 바로 그 지점에서 출발합니다.
Cinematic Post-Rock의 광활하고 서정적인 공간감 위에
Orchestral Rock의 웅장한 사운드를 더하고,
Progressive Rock 특유의 점진적인 구조와 다이내믹한 변화를 통해
한 사람의 내면이 무너지고, 견디고,
그리고 마침내 다시 일어서는 과정을 그려냅니다.
곡의 시작은 마치 아무도 없는 방 안에서
들려오는 희미한 심장박동처럼 조용합니다.
그러나 이야기가 진행될수록 감정은 점점 깊어지고,
사운드는 거대한 파도처럼 확장됩니다.
반복되는 후렴 속에서 ‘Time’이라는 단어는
처음에는 절망과 원망의 대상이지만,
곡이 마지막으로 향할수록 조금씩 다른 의미를 갖게 됩니다.
시간은 상처를 지워주지 않았습니다.
눈물을 없애주지도, 지나간 일을 없던 일로 만들어주지도 않았습니다.
다만 그 모든 것을 안고 살아갈 수 있는 힘을 조금씩 남겨주었습니다.
그래서 〈TIME〉에서 시간은 완벽한 구원이 아닙니다.
수없이 무너지는 순간에도 어떻게든 다음 하루를 살아내게 했던,
가장 느리고 잔인했던 구원에 가깝습니다.
마지막으로 갈수록 음악은 가장 강렬한 감정에 도달하지만,
그 끝에는 다시 아무런 말도 남지 않습니다.
절망적인 기타 솔로와 희미하게 사라지는 숨결,
그리고 더 이상 아프지 않은 침묵만이 남습니다.
그 침묵 속에서 비로소 알게 됩니다.
시간은 우리를 과거로부터 구해주지는 못하지만,
그 과거와 함께 살아갈 수 있는 곳까지 데려다줄 수 있다는 것을.
〈TIME〉은 그렇게 오랜 시간 끝에
비로소 자신의 상처를 바라볼 수 있게 된 한 사람의 이야기이며,
여전히 아픔을 안고 살아가고 있는
모든 분들께 조용히 건네는 한 편의 음악적 기록입니다.

〈TIME〉 began with a question about the familiar comfort that
time heals everything.
But sometimes, instead of becoming a cure,
time can feel cruel
forcing us to watch the world move on
as if nothing ever happened.
The world keeps moving forward,
while our hearts remain frozen
in a single moment.
This song begins right there.
Built upon the vast, lyrical atmosphere of Cinematic Post-Rock,
〈TIME〉 combines the grandeur of Orchestral Rock
with the progressive structures and dynamic shifts
of Progressive Rock.
It portrays the journey of an inner world
falling apart, enduring,
and finally finding the strength to rise again.
The song begins quietly,
like a faint heartbeat echoing
inside an empty room.
But as the story unfolds,
the emotions grow deeper,
and the sound expands like a massive wave.
Throughout the recurring chorus,
the word “Time” first appears
as something to blame
an object of despair and resentment.
Yet as the song moves toward its final moments,
the meaning of that word slowly begins to change.
Time did not erase the wounds.
It did not take away the tears,
nor did it make the past disappear.
It simply left behind, little by little,
the strength to keep living
with everything that had happened.
That is why, in 〈TIME〉,
time is not a perfect salvation.
It is something closer to
the slowest and cruelest form of salvation
the force that somehow carried us
through countless moments of breaking
and into another day.
As the song reaches its climax,
the music arrives at its most intense emotional point.
And then, there are no more words.
Only a desperate guitar solo,
a fading breath,
and a silence that no longer hurts.
It is within that silence
that we finally understand:
Time may not be able to save us
from our past,
but it can carry us
to a place where we can learn
to live with it.
〈TIME〉 is the story of someone
who, after a long passage of time,
finally finds the courage to look at their wounds.
And it is a quiet musical record
offered to everyone
who is still carrying their pain
and learning to live with it.
------- TIME -----------------------
Even when I couldn't breathe
I never found a way to stop
Every time I thought
"This is the end"
There was a deeper ground below
Left behind in pieces
I couldn't hold on to anything
I kept reliving
That day again and again
Who was it that said
"Time will make it better"
Those words
Were the cruelest of all
Time...
No one could save me
Not all the comfort
Not all the promises
Could ever lift
What was broken inside me
Time...
My only cure
The pain I couldn't bear
The tears that felt endless
You carried them away
So quietly
Time...
Only you knew
Not how to erase the scars
But how to live with them
The world kept moving
As if nothing had happened
And I remained still
Watching time flow by
In places no one ever saw
I kept falling apart
People asked if I was better
That was the hardest thing to hear
Because I never was
Time...
No one could save me
Not all the comfort
Not all the promises
Could ever lift
What was broken inside me
Time...
My only cure
The pain I couldn't bear
The tears that felt endless
You carried them away
So quietly
Time...
Only you knew
Not how to erase the scars
But how to live with them
It wasn't the sound of breaking
It was the things inside me
Slowly disappearing
Enduring wasn't living
It was only
Another day
That never seemed to end
Time...
You were my final remedy
Not because you made me forget
But because you helped me endure
While the years kept passing
I fell apart a thousand times
Yet somehow now
I stand beyond the reach of pain
Time...
You were cruel
But in the end
You were the one
Who saved me
