Without a heart (8eight)

Without a heart is another combination of ballad and rap. This sad song captured my heart the first time I listened to it because of the sad lyrics.

Without a heart indeed gave a very deep feeling to the listener.

To me, the song said that it’s better for us to smile rather than explaining to others why we are sad, isn’t it? It’s a song that gave a different thought about feeling. It’s true, without a heart, you can’t feel the pain yet without it too, you can’t feel the love…

This song is from 8eight’s album, Golden Age. The MV starring Sohee from Wondergirls is about a vampire girl who’s in love with a mortal. The guy left her (some says he died) and she’s broken hearted.

She then exposed herself to the sun and died bringing with her the happy memories...

Lyrics translation

If I say that I'm in pain,
I'm scared that I'll really be in pain
If I say that I'm sad,
I'm scared that I will shed my tears
Why don't I just laugh,
just laugh, just laugh...
But people ask me
why I'm crying...

Everyday I cry, I smile, cry then smile again
What's wrong with me, why do I do this repeatedly?
Can't differentiate between bottles of alcohol and meals
So far in my life, I never felt pain this excruciating
Absentmindedly, I write your name over and over on a piece of paper
In a day, the paper becomes black and I finally let the pen go
I long for you,
I hold on to my cellphone and let it go
my eyes are filling up with tears again,
this separation between us..

I'm without a heart,
I don't have a heart
So I wouldn't be feeling pain
Everyday I talk to myself,
and put myself under a spell
But even so, I keep shedding my tears

If I say that I'm in pain,
I'm scared that I'll really be in pain
If I say that I'm sad,
I'm scared that I will shed my tears
Why don't I just laugh,
just laugh, just laugh...

But people ask me why I'm crying,
when I'm laughing like this...

After you left, I think I became a fool
I can't do, I can't do anything, so I die.
I shove myself into a corner and live
Without you there's nothing left to do
A day is too long, way too long
But what was I busy with, to make you feel so lonely,
when you wanted to go shopping, going out with my friends was so easy,
but why couldn't I do the same to you?
I always regretted being so slow,
I don't know if I'm really stupid, but I still can't let go of our bond.

I'm without a heart,
I don't have a heart
Again today, I can see through your lies
My heart is in so much pain,
I'm begging for your help
How can I smile in times like this?

If I say that I'm in pain,
I'm scared that I'll really be in pain
If I say that I'm sad,
I'm scared that I will shed my tears
Why don't I just laugh,
just laugh, just laugh...
But people ask me why I'm crying,
when I'm laughing like this...

(let's smile) like couples in dramas
(let's smile) like the title of your blog
(let's smile) happy like in my past

I'm without a heart, I can't be in pain
I'm without a heart, I can't be in pain
Let's just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
Please, please let's stop crying now...





Daa~
