Odległość (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Recording something for the very first time.

[Verse 1]
The artist is reflecting on how much life has changed. He’s in the present, sipping something trendy like matcha with yuzu, but hearing this beat brings back deep memories—it takes him back to a time that felt more real. Now he feels isolated, like a modern-day Robinson Crusoe, stranded in a world that’s hard to connect with. It’s tough for him to explain to others why the past still holds so much power while the new world feels dull, even though people still chase nostalgia through music. He once thought he knew himself, maybe even liked who he was, but now he’s questioning everything—what he’s been doing, what he’s been chasing. Was it for recognition, pleasure, or just the thrill? He’s unsure if he’s done anything truly meaningful. He remembers the girls, the confusion, and the strange newness of everything. Technology can make anything now, yet what he longs for is the cracked sidewalks and the messy beauty of the past. If there was a way to go back to the ’90s, he would. He doesn’t want fame or attention—he wants to feel things the way he did before, when life felt deeper. Now, all he wants is quiet, real connection, because his priorities have changed.

[Chorus]
Even though they’re physically together, there’s this emotional gap between them. They sit next to each other, but both are distracted—she’s there, he’s lost in his phone, and something feels off. It’s a relationship that once felt like it would last forever, but now it feels like it’s slipping away. The closeness is just on the surface, not in the heart.

[Verse 2]
Now he’s in a faraway place like Seoul, having trendy snacks and surrounded by modern pop culture, but still feeling out of place. He’s getting these flashy messages and digital gestures, like a balloon ride photo from Cappadocia, but no one really connects with him face to face. He’s overwhelmed and wants to break down just to feel something real again. Life feels robotic—just about surviving, not truly living. He misses the times when things had real meaning, like in spring, when emotions were strong and money didn’t define happiness. He dreams of a life built on solid connections, not broken relationships. He questions who he even is now—good, bad, smart, lost? He’s not in America with big talk shows, but maybe there’s still a chance to be heard. Mornings now feel heavy, and people around him are relying on medication just to get by. Even if you step into the same situation, it’s never really the same again. Everything changes.

[Chorus]
Again, he shows that physical closeness doesn’t mean emotional connection. They’re next to each other, a movie is playing, but his attention is elsewhere, maybe as a way to escape. The line “It’s forever, but then it’s over” hits hard—it shows how something that once felt eternal can quietly fade. He repeats this to emphasize the heartbreak of watching love or connection slip away without a dramatic ending, just slowly disappearing.
