Concrete Kingdom

[Verse 1]
On the Yeongdo Bridge, the August asphalt sweats,
A two o'clock siren makes the black-tailed gulls forget
How to fly for a second. In her worn-out school shoes,
She stands on the railing, with a joy she can't refuse.

[Chorus]
하늘 위로 (Haneul wiro), the concrete splits the sky,
A kingdom for a moment, built ten meters high.
하늘 위로 (Haneul wiro), the whole world tilting slow,
A wild green weed with nowhere else to grow.

[Verse 2]
A thread is loose on her white sailor collar,
The rumbling steel below her makes her feel taller.
"So-hoon-ah, get down from there!" echoes from the street,
A ghost of a voice on a driving Berlin beat.

[Bridge]
That Busan ghost, a current in the vein,
Finds the same old rhythm in the synthesized rain.

[Chorus]
하늘 위로 (Haneul wiro), the concrete splits the sky,
A kingdom for a moment, built ten meters high.
하늘 위로 (Haneul wiro), the whole world tilting slow,
A wild green weed with nowhere else to grow.

[Outro]
Ten meters high...
하늘 위로 (Haneul wiro)...
