I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
집에 가기 싫은 밤이면 택시 기사 아저씨가 빠른 길만 피해가.
라디오에선 말 많은 디제이가 쉽게 웃어주는 게스트와 노래는 틀지 않지,
대화가 길어져.
평상시엔 듣기 싫어서 주파수를 돌려 달라 했겠지만,
뭐, 듣고 싶은 노래도 없는데.
계속 떠들게 내 생각 음소거를 해.
알 수 없는 말에 폭소가 이어지고,
굳은 표정이었던 기사 아저씨도 함께 웃는 것을 보니 요즘 뜨는 유행어인가봐.
어쩌면 나만 섬인가봐.
끝내 누군가의 신청곡이 소개돼.
한때 참 좋아했던 슬픈 노래.
저 사람도 혼자 있을까, 긴 하루가 잠시 잠드는 곳에?
I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
I need an airbag.
피하기엔 너무 늦었어.
요즘은 정리할 일도 많아 잘 취하지도 않아.
그렇다고 술자리를 피하지도 않아.
혼자 있기 싫은 걸까? 아니면 눈에 띄게 혼자이고 싶은 걸까?
내게 외로움은 당연해.
과연 내 곁에 누군가 있다고 해서 나눠가질 내가 있을까?
달기 싫은 물음표. 다행히도 그때, 크게 통화중인 목소리가 귀로 붙네.
약속 잡힌 술 모임이 취소 됐나봐.
전화를 끊고 뭔가 토라진 아저씨는 투덜대고,
내 시선은 미터기 위에 삐뚤어지게 붙여놓은 가족사진.
방황하게 되는 건, 집이 없어서 혹은 갈 길이 없어서일까?
갈 곳은 많아도 그 어디에도 나를 기다리는 사람이 없어서일까?
I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
I need an airbag.
피하기엔 너무 늦었어.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
나 지금 위험해. 나 지금 위험해.
부딪치지 마.
언제 오기 시작했는지.
어느새 창밖을 보니 비가 내린지 한참이 된 듯이
빗물이 길바닥에 고여 그 위에 비친 교통사고 전광판이 보여.
이때 왜, 잘살고 있을 네가 하필 기억이나 눈물이 고이는지…
‘사망’이란 단어 옆에 숫자 1이 어찌나…
외롭게 보이는지.
I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
I need an airbag.
피하기엔 너무 늦었어.
네가 그리운 이 밤.
비가 오고 미끄러지는 내 마음.
I need you, yes I need you, my airbag.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Not again.

Not again.
I need an airbag.
Before I crash into the encroaching, massive sorrow.
For the nights that I don’t want to be home, taxi driver swerves around the shortcuts.
On radio, the verbose DJ’s on with easy-laugh guests and won’t play music, their conversations drag out.
If it was any other day, I would have asked the driver to change the frequency, well, I don’t have a song I want to listen to anyways.
I mute my thoughts so they can jabber on.
Laughter explodes, trails words that I don’t understand, but seeing as how the rigid taxi driver is chuckling along, it must be trending.
Perhaps I was an island all by myself.
Finally, someone’s request is playing.
It’s a very sad song, one that I once used to really like.
Would he be also by himself,
At a place where a long day sojourns, sleeps for a while?
I need an airbag.
Before I crash into the encroaching, massive sorrow.
I need an airbag.
It’s too late to steer away.
Nowadays, there are tons of things to tidy up, and I don’t get drunk easily either. But then again, it’s not like I avoid going for drinks.
Is it because I don’t want to be alone?
Or is it because I want to be visibly alone?
Loneliness is only natural for me.
Even if there is someone by me, would there be enough of me to share?
It’s a question mark that I don’t want to hang on.
But thankfully that’s when a loud voice on the phone latches onto my ears. Sounds like the planned get-together got cancelled.
As the taxi driver grumble away off phone, my eyes wander to the family photo tacked on to the taximeter, crooked.
Is it because I’m without home or path to walk down on, that I wander?
Or is it because I don’t have anyone waiting for me, even though I’ve got plenty of places to be
I need an airbag.
Before I crash into the encroaching, massive sorrow.
I need an airbag.
It’s too late to steer away.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
I’m precarious right now.
I’m dangerous right now.
Don’t hit me.
When did it start, looking out the window
Rain’s already pooled around on the streets, as if it’s been raining for a while.
Then I see the reflection of the electronic board by the side of the road.
Why is it then the tears swell up, at the thought of you, who must be living just fine.
How lonely the number 1 looked tacked on next to the word ‘death’
I need an airbag.
Before I crash into the encroaching, massive sorrow.
I need an airbag.
It’s too late to steer away.
It’s the kind of night when I miss you. My heart, rains and slides.
I need you, yes I need you, my airbag.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Once again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
I guess I’m all alone again.
Not again.
