The Adult I Dreamed Of — English translation

머무르 · korean → English

What "The Adult I Dreamed Of" means

A quiet, reflective ballad about the gap between the grown-up you imagined becoming and the tired person you actually are. The singer hides worry behind a calm face, comes home carrying held-back feelings, and wonders whether being fragile and easily shaken still counts as being an adult. The mood is lonely, honest and gently self-forgiving.

거울에 비춘 나는 잘 지내는 척해요
When I look in the mirror, I pretend that everything is fine.
말은 점점 줄고 한숨만 길어져요
My words grow fewer while my sighs grow longer.
소란한 하룰 지나 집으로 돌아올 때면
Coming back home after a noisy, exhausting day,
참았던 마음들이 문 앞에 서 있어요
All the feelings I held back are waiting right at the door.
