끝까지 하면은 된다는 말이 때때론 00:17
끝까지 틀리는 때도 때때론 00:21
급박히 내뱉은 날카로운 말이 내게로 00:26
습관인 듯 끝도 없이 내게로 00:31
나는 아니려나‬ 00:35
아니려나‬ 00:41
아니려나‬ 00:46
순탄히 시작해 기대했던 결실은 계속해서‬ 00:56
멀어진다 닿을 수 없게 내게서 01:01
쓰라린 상처 아물 새 없이 듣기엔 괴로운 01:06
그 말이 너무 지치곤 해 때론 때론 01:10
자 이제 하나둘 곁을 떠나가는 01:15
한 때는 같은 날을 꿈 꿨던 사람을 01:20
거짓 없이 응원하고도 01:25
나 아무렇지 않도록 01:27
모든 걸 놓아보려 해 01:30
이대로 끝나버린대도 괜찮아 01:34
모두 날 떠나버린대도 괜찮아 01:38
난 이 곳에 난 이 곳에 남은 뱁새 01:40
하얀 꽃가루가 흩날리던 유리색 바다 01:44
후회하지 않을 만큼 사랑했잖아 01:48
난 이 곳에 난 이 곳에 남은 뱁새 01:50
날 이 곳에 담은 세계 01:54
그까짓 좌절이 대수냐며 귀에 대고 02:12
끝까지 해 보긴 했냬 제대로 02:16
해봤지 모진 이들아 수 없이 해 봐도 02:21
안 되는 사람이 있기도 해 때론 때론 02:26
자 이제 하나둘 떠나간 다음 나는 02:31
너무도 까마득한 어두운 밤하늘 02:36
아래 아무 말 없는 채로 02:41
혼자가 될 걸 알고도 02:43
모든 걸 놓아보려 해 02:46
이대로 끝나버린대도 괜찮아 02:50
모두 날 떠나버린대도 괜찮아 02:54
난 이 곳에 난 이 곳에 남은 뱁새 02:56
하얀 꽃가루가 흩날리던 유리색 바다 03:00
사랑하지 않을 만큼 후회했잖아 03:04
난 이 곳에 난 이 곳에 남은 뱁새 03:06
난 이 곳에 03:10
하나, 사실 하난 남겼어 03:11
놓지 못 하겠어서 03:14
계속 쥐고 있던 건 03:17
아마 오늘 같았던 절경 03:20
두 걸음 남은 절벽 03:24
끝의 날 잡아 줬던 너 03:26
그제서야 처음 어린 아이처럼 03:31
네 품에 안긴 채 펑펑 울었던 기억 03:35
아아 03:39
아아 아 03:40
그 하나가 남아 하나도 안 괜찮아 03:50
후회해도 사랑해도 너무 아프다 03:52
난 이 곳에 난 이 곳에 남은 뱁새 03:55
날 이 곳에 가둔 세계 03:58
날 가둔 세계 04:04
끝까지 하면은 된다는 말이 때때론 04:19
끝까지 틀리는 때도 때때론 04:24

By exploring the metaphor of the 'baepsae,' you'll gain a deeper understanding of resilience and self-acceptance in Korean storytelling and contemporary youth culture.

[English]
The saying that you can do it if you keep going, sometimes
Sometimes it's also wrong until the very end
The sharp words I spat out in a hurry, to me
Like a habit, endlessly to me
I wonder if I'm not
I wonder if I'm not
I wonder if I'm not
I started smoothly, but the results I hoped for continue to
move further away, unable to reach me
Painful wounds without time to heal, it's painful to hear
Those words are so tiring sometimes, sometimes
Now, one by one, they're leaving
People who once dreamed the same days
Even after supporting them without lies
I'm not bothered at all
I'm trying to let go of everything
It's okay even if it ends like this
It's okay even if everyone leaves me
I am here, I am here, the remaining sparrow
The glass-colored sea where white pollen was scattering
I loved it enough not to regret it
I am here, I am here, the remaining sparrow
The world that holds me here
"Is such frustration a big deal?" they said to my ear
"Did you try to the end, properly?"
I did, you cruel people, even after trying countless times
There are people who can't make it, sometimes, sometimes
Now, after they've all left, I am
Under the dark night sky, so distant
Without saying a word
Knowing I will be alone
I'm trying to let go of everything
It's okay even if it ends like this
It's okay even if everyone leaves me
I am here, I am here, the remaining sparrow
The glass-colored sea where white pollen was scattering
I regretted it enough not to love it
I am here, I am here, the remaining sparrow
I am here
One, in fact, I left one thing
Because I couldn't let it go
What I kept holding onto
Was probably a breathtaking scene like today
The cliff with two steps left
You who held my end
Only then, like a little child
I cried my heart out in your arms, I remember
Ah
Ah, ah
That one thing remains, and it's not okay at all
Even if I regret it, even if I love it, it hurts so much
I am here, I am here, the remaining sparrow
The world that trapped me here
The world that trapped me
The saying that you can do it if you keep going, sometimes
Sometimes it's also wrong until the very end
