Interlude: Shadow [Full] [English translation]

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I want a big thing

Oh, boy, let me see

I got a big dream, yeah

Ooh, I wondered everyday how far I’d go

I came to my senses and I find myself here

Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet

Look down, it’s gotten even bigger

I run but the shadow follows as dark as the light’s intense

I’m afraid, flying high is terrifying

No one told me how lonely it is up here

I can leap in the air but also plunge

Now I know running away could be an option too, pause

People say, there’s splendor in that bright light

But my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster

Up high, high, and higher, higher

I rise, rise (I hate it)

I pray, pray, hoping to be okay

The moment I’m flying high as I wished

My shadow grows in that blasting stark light

Please, don’t let me shine

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me fly

Now I’m afraid

The moment I face myself brought lowest

It so happens that I’m flying the highest

Please, don’t let me shine

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me fly

Now I’m scared

Don’t let me shine

Smile, why are you hesitating?

Isn't this what you wanted?

If you want to cry, cry, what are you afraid of?

Isn't this what you wanted?

The life you wished, the life you wanted

The life you chose, achieved them without regret

Besides, you have a big house, big cars, big rings

You got everything you wanted

But what's the problem? Enjoy it

Or you can let it go, you hate it even that?

Then run or stop

Stop whining and do one thing

You say no one ever told you? (Yeah, yeah)

You say you really had no idea? (Oh, no)

I'll take as much as you have, whatever it is

That sometimes your breaks becomes your fall

Do you get that now? That doing your best every time is the best

The moment I’m flying high as I wished

My shadow grows in that blasting stark light

Please, don’t let me shine

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me fly

Now I’m afraid

The moment I face myself brought lowest

It so happens that I’m flying the highest

Please, don’t let me shine

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me fly

Now I’m scared

Don’t let me shine

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I wanna be

Yeah I’m you, you are me, now do you know?

Yeah you are me, I’m you, now you do know?

We are one body, sometimes we will clash

You can never break me off, this you must know

Yeah yeah can’t break me off, whatever you do

Yeah you’ll be at ease if you admit it too

Yeah succeed or fail, whichever way you flow

Yeah you can’t escape, wherever you go

I am you, you are me, now you do know?

You are me, I am you, now do you know?

We are one body and we are gonna clash

We are you, we are me, this do you know?
