넬 (NELL) - ”Today” (오늘은) 

잘 모르겠어 왠지 그냥 그래 Don’t know, it’s just, you know 뭐라 딱 잘라 말하긴 힘든데 it’s difficult to say exactly what it is 뭔가 아쉽고 또 미안해지다가 Dissapointing, and I’m sorry a bit 그리워지고 또 전부 싫어져 I miss it, and then you know I hate it all 외롭긴 한데 혼자 있고 싶고 Lonely, sure. But I want to be alone 떠나고 싶은데 머물고도 싶어 I want to leave, but also to stay 신경 쓰지마 난 분명 이러다가 Don’t worry about it, I’m sure I’ll 괜찮아질꺼야 Be fine 그래 Yeah.

오늘은 Today’s 그냥 그런 날 Just a day like that 오늘은 Today’s 왠지 그런 날 For whatever reason, a day like that

애써 밝은 척 웃진 못하겠고 Can’t bring myself to feign a smile 그렇다고 또 눈물까진 아니야 But then again I’m not about to cry

그 어떤 표정도 지금 나의 이 마음 No expression is quite enough to 표현하기엔 조금씩 모자라 to show how I feel 텅 빈 내 마음이 My hollowed out heart 마치 물 먹은 솜처럼 무거워 Is heavy like waterlogged cotton 자꾸 가라앉아 It sinks on.

위로가 필요해 신경 안 써도 돼 I need to be comforted, don’t worry about me 이러다 말거야 It will be all fine 그래 yeah

오늘은 Today’s 그냥 그런 날 Just a day like that 오늘은 Today’s 왠지 그런 날 Just a day like that

1. Habitual Irony Q: ‘Habitual Irony’ as the first song seems to show the direction of the album. Jongwan: I think it shows the harmony we wanted to create with this album. We’ve studied and experimented with balancing synth and sequencing sounds with band sounds before, and I feel like we mixed all those attempts in this song. It tells people that Nell is this kind of sound, this sense of space.
