└ insomnia - Insomnia, track no.5,
└ 미아 - M.I.A., track no. 6

2. MY PACE
└ sometimes I can't stop comparing myself to others. I should go my own pace, comparing to others is meaningless, there is no need to rush, it's my speed, my lane, my pace.

2.2 MY PACE
↬ two lines, one different syllable:
└ 다른 애들 봐 난 다른 애들관 (dareun aedeul bwa nan dareun aedeulgwan) - look at them i am different from then

└ famous line from a play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare

5. 불면증 (INSOMNIA)
↬ relatable topic, insomnia, I just can't sleep
└ "When I am tired, worries come to my mind, I look back on my day, what I am going to do tomorrow? What? The alarm rings"

6. M.I.A.
↬ title:
└ M.I.A. - acronym: missing in action
└ pronounced as mia:
• 미아 (mia) - lost child, stray kid

↬ Neverland
└ imaginary place from Peter Pan series for those who refuse to grow up
└ metaphor for eternal childhood and escapism

6.2 M.I.A.
└ sounds like a song about missing someone, your significant other
└ but actually it's about missing yourself, missing being happy, not recognise yourself anymore, but singing from 2nd person pov

7. 갑자기 분위기 싸해질 필요 없잖아요 (Awkward Silence)
↬ you're trying to be funny, but only awkward silence answers you
└ inspired by unfunny Jisung's moments

└ You don't have to be moody all of a sudden
└ No need to keep awkward silence

7.2 갑자기 분위기 싸해질 필요 없잖아요 (Awkward Silence)
↬ korean abbreviation: 갑분싸 (gapbunssa) - awkward silence

7.3 갑자기 분위기 싸해질 필요 없잖아요
↬ between lines "like awkward silence" and "a crow is passing" they added crow's sound to emphasize awkwardness even more

↬ rhymes:
└ 까마귀 지나가 (kkamagwi jinaga) - crow is passing
└ 쿨하게 지나가 (kulhage jinaga) - just be cool

8. MIXTAPE #2
└ originally: If There's a Shadow, There Must Be Light by 3RACHA
