about

지하철역의 소리가 나오면서 The Modern Society가 시작된다. 1절부터 후렴의 반까지 노래는 영어로 도시 생활에 대한 푸념을 하다, 한국말로 “우린 모두 재밖에 없을거야”라고 시작해 마치 사실을 깨달은듯이 기타 멜로디들이 쓸쓸하게 흘러 끝을 맺는듯한다. 하지만 그 잔잔한 푸념은 Jesus Freaks가 거침없이 깨버린다.

The Modern Society starts as the sound of the metro station comes out. From the 1st verse to the half of the chorus, the song complains about the city life in English, then suddenly it starts saying, “We all are nothing but an ash” in Korean. The Modern Society ends in lonely guitar riffs as if the song realized the truth. But Jesus Freaks mercilessly breaks that calm complaint.

lyrics

Never cared about any sport teams here
all my friends like oversea teams there
Numerous curiosities
But Separated, opinionated 

Smell the hatred in our tendencies 
our secrets are in these edamames
Accept or reject it
Til you must force yourself to accept it

We all are nothing but businessmen
우린 모두 재밖에 없을거야 (We all are nothing but ash)

지나갈때, 난 나중에를 생각했어 (As I passed, I thought of next time)
가려고 했을때, 거긴 없어졌어 (When I tried to go there, the place was gone)
처음부터 무언가가 잘못됐어, 모든게
(From the beginning, something was wrong, entirely)

We all are nothing but businessmen
우린 모두 재밖에 없을거야 (We all are nothing but ash)
