AAK! Music 90s Icon by Seo Taiji

AAK! Music 90s Icon by Seo Taiji


Because when Seo Taiji puts out a song like this, it deserves to be introduced to the wider audience.


90s Icon
90s Icon

??? ??? ?? ?? ???
The excuses grow as I age
??? ???? ??? ?? ???
Nothing but mere hesitancy as the time passes
? ??? ??? ??? ? ??
My senses that used to soak my guitar are dulled
??? ? ??? ??? ?? ?
But still I simply cannot stop

??? 90s icon
A washed up 90s icon
??? ??? ??? ???? ????
Hesitating to find the last opportunity to disappear
??? ?? ?? ??
Should I finish this wet delusion

???? ??? ???? ???
The phantasms trapped in decrepit photo frames
? ??? ???? ? ?? ????
Filling my room with my desire and delusion
??? ??? ?? ????
I am a chameleon, changing haplessly
? ??? ???? ??? ?? ?
Even as my skin rots, all I can do is to quietly hide

??? 90s icon
A washed up 90s icon
??? ??? ??? ???? ????
Hesitating to find the opportunity for a spectacular comeback
??? ? ?? ?? ??
Should I finish this wet delusion

? ?? ?? ??? ??? ??? ????
I dream, but nothing like a secret resolve
??? ??? ??...
The war of mine is over

??? ?? ???? ??? ?? ????
The scattering wind sweeps away in a blink of an eye
??? ?? ??? ?? ?? ??? ???
The lonely story of you and me who were with your lives

??? ?? ??
A dilemma without an answer
??? ?? ??? ?? ?? ??? ????
But when the night falls, my star will calmly shine

Briefly about Seo Taiji:  Easily one of the top three most significant K-pop artist in history. Everything about the modern day K-pop is traceable to his brilliant mind.

About This Song:  90s Icon is from Seo Taijis 2014 album, Quiet Night. 

Translation Note:  As is typical with Korean lyrics, many sentences lack a subject, leaving poetic ambiguity as to the precise identity of the person who thinks and feels. Seo Taiji, in particular, is a master of such lyrical construction.
