Perfect Child
2 days agoAria s1
[Intro]
(Soft acoustic guitar strumming, gentle humming)
[Verse 1]
Appa, Eomma, morning sun is bright (Good morning)
Neomu joh-eun a-i cheoreom smile (Like such a good child)
Homework done, room is clean and neat
Another perfect day, can't be b**t
Oh, but inside... a storm is brewing low
A quiet ache that no one seems to know
[Chorus]
Are you happy now? (Are you happy now?)
Neon haengbokhani? (Are you happy?)
I wear the crown you gave, I play the part so well
Are you happy now? Can't you tell?
Gwaenchanha, gwaenchanha (I'm okay, I'm okay)
While these quiet cracks begin to swell...
[Verse 2]
Top of the class, piano recital star
You beam so proud from near and far
"Chincha jalhaesseo!" (You did really well!)
But the applause just rings like a hollow shell
Behind the door, when the lights are dim
The perfect picture starts to fray at the rim
Fading scars, hidden out of sight
Whispers in the lonely, fading light
[Chorus]
Are you happy now? (Are you happy now?)
Neon haengbokhani? (Are you happy?)
I wear the crown you gave, I play the part so well
Are you happy now? Can't you tell?
Gwaenchanha, gwaenchanha (I'm okay, I'm okay)
While these quiet cracks begin to swell...
[Bridge]
(Instrumental swell, slightly more intense but still controlled)
This perfect child, this flawless art
Is tearing me apart, tearing me apart
Mianhae, mianhae... (Sorry, sorry...)
For not being what you see
For the broken parts of me...
[Chorus]
Are you happy now? (Are you happy now?)
Neon haengbokhani? (Are you happy?)
I wear the crown you gave, I play the part so well
Are you happy now? Can't you tell?
Gwaenchanha, gwaenchanha (I'm okay, I'm okay)
While these quiet cracks begin to swell...
[Outro]
(Soft guitar returns, gentle vocal ad-libs fading)
Are you happy now...?
Gwaenchanha... gwaenchanha...
Perfect child... perfect child...
(Humming fades out with the guitar)
