Tonight, with no plans, I dressed up pretty nicely.
In newly bought jeans and a plain tee, no logos.
I secretly stuck a Gibson mark on my ten-thousand-won Cort guitar.
I'm nothing special, but my mood feels like Kurt Cobain.
Like a movie character I saw yesterday.
Countless audiences, longing and coins.
Today, filled with glamorous street romances,
...isn't Saturday night.
It was Sunday night.
Sunday is over.
Monday is coming.
I thought there was still one day left of a great weekend.
I'm still not sober.
But Monday is coming.
Morning will never wait for me.
Standing alone on an empty street feels awful.
Someone, lost in their own world, is looking at me; it's a drunk uncle.
Please leave me alone. What does any of this mean?
The uncle's final encore is, of all things, Kurt Cobain.
Like a movie character I saw yesterday.
I couldn’t be like that, without a twist.
My guitar is crying, and I'm helpless. Today...
...isn't Saturday night.
It was Sunday night.
Sunday is over.
Monday is coming.
I thought there was still one day left of a great weekend.
I'm still not sober.
But Monday is coming.
Morning will never wait for me.
I hate moments like this so much.
Monday is coming and I'm dying.
Time is running out quickly.
The night is fading, and tomorrow's sun is rising. No!
Sunday is over.
Monday is coming.
I thought there was still one day left of a great weekend.
I'm still not sober.
But Monday is coming.
Morning will never wait for me.
It will never wait for me.
