The lyrics I found for DROP (my translation here) did not include the rap at the start of the MV, and that's like the entire first minute! So it would not do.
(And quite seriously you cannot watch DROP enough times, it's EPIC. *__*)
So, I scoured the internet for a transcription of the rap, and here is my translation so you guys can enjoy it too.
A new nation has begun
This is King's Speech
The gloomy future,the future that did not come back to me
The belief that I can change it, is that appropriate?
I need to know, this future masked by despair
That it's as dangerous as a military service is clear
This whirlpool-like reality facing me, from that time already
I saw I'd finished preparations to deal with it a long time ago
It isn't fair. Going nowhere.
The courage to face fear started from here
Only imitators of the unusual, unable to read common sense, remain
At that time it was wrong, and now it is just normal
It isn't fair. Going nowhere.
The courage to face fear started from here.
Translator's notes:
I was in kind of a hurry to translate when I did it and now I've lost the Korean version so I can't check my translation before posting. T_T
Anyway, I still think this is important if you want to understand the whole lyrics. It's a song about political disillusionment and the desire for change.
