MARK - Child (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who do you think you are?
Why are you hanging my heart and shaking it?
It's making me dizzy
If I'm a troublemaker, then why?
Why do you always ask questions?
Oh I, oh I, oh I, as I hurry
Oh I, oh I, oh I, I'm getting lame at this

[Chorus]
Uh, I'm a child
I can't be the person you want

Have a good night
No need for a lullaby
It's my question, many questions
Who am I in others' eyes?
Who am I? Who I'll be?
Different nights, same nightmare


[Post-Chorus]
Why, why, why kill my night?
By the night you destroyed, I think I'll get hurt
Blah, blah, blah, y'all talk too much
Don't waste my time
That's enough
[Verse 2]
I pull at the strings when I'm pissed
Only few people know I'm a bit
Twisted but the fittest to the point

If a dream is the Sun, my mind is like Earth
All day revolving around the Sun

I'm alert, it's a curse, yeah, it hurts
I don't know my own strength
There's a lot that I don't know (Yeah)
But you learn when you don't know (Yeah)

Red on my Valentino (Yeah)

[Verse 3]
I'll destroy my responsibility
Until I'm free, I don't look back
I really wanted to be a stranger, far from this society
I envy propane, I need to blow up now (Now, now)
Maybe this can be tasted only if it's rough
Get thorns so not to easily swallow me (Ya)
How'd I get so bitter? (Uh)
Brother liquor
I don't feel the same
How about you? Tell me later

[Chorus]
Uh, I'm a child
I can't be the person you want

Have a good night
No need for a lullaby (Ooh, ya)
It's my question, many questions
Who am I in others' eyes?
Who am I? Who I'll be?
Different nights, same nightmare
[Bridge]
Uh, yes
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Oh, why?
Would there be anyone who can relate?
Can someone understand me just for now?

[Outro]
Oh, yes, sir
Woah (Yes), yeah (Don't say)
No, no, no, no, no
I'm saying what's on my mind (Woo-hoo)
I'm tryna to spend this day just like (Yes, sir)
Oh-oh (Yeah, yeah)

Mark Lee discussed the track on a January 29, 2022 Instagram live days before release.

“Child” is a song that was made quite long ago, yeah. It isn’t one of my recent projects or anything. It was a song that […] was in our archives. And it just happened to be “Child” for, uh, this coming STATION.

He went on to describe the genre as “alternative rock”-like with an “electric guitar sound” and the vibe of the track as “sentimental.”
