AKMU “Paradise of Rumors” Lyrics

Hangul

햇살은 따스한데 왜 나는 추운 걸까
사람들은 웃고 있는데 나는 왜 울까
가만히 있어도 다가오는 눈빛들
나를 향한 이야기들은 대체 뭘까

소문은 바람을 타고 멀리 퍼져가
진실은 가려진 채 그림자만 남네
사랑을 속삭이던 그 입술들은
왜 차가운 독설을 뱉어내는 걸까

여기는 소문의 낙원 나 혼자 서 있네
날개 없는 천사들이 춤을 추는 곳
아름다운 거짓말에 다들 취해가네
꿈에서 깨어나고 싶지 않아

거울 속에 비친 내 모습은 낯설어
누가 만들어낸 인형이 된 것 같아
어디서부터 잘못된 걸까
나는 나대로 살고 싶은데

소문은 바람을 타고 멀리 퍼져가
진실은 가려진 채 그림자만 남네
사랑을 속삭이던 그 입술들은
왜 차가운 독설을 뱉어내는 걸까

여기는 소문의 낙원 나 혼자 서 있네
날개 없는 천사들이 춤을 추는 곳
아름다운 거짓말에 다들 취해가네
꿈에서 깨어나고 싶지 않아

모두가 나를 미워해도
나는 나를 사랑할 거야
멈추지 않는 이 소문 속에서
나만의 낙원을 찾을 테니까

여기는 소문의 낙원 나 혼자 서 있네
날개 없는 천사들이 춤을 추는 곳
아름다운 거짓말에 다들 취해가네
꿈에서 깨어나고 싶지 않아

꿈에서 깨어나고 싶지 않아
나만의 낙원

Translation

The sunlight is warm, so why do I feel so cold?
People are laughing, so why am I crying?
Even when I’m still, those staring eyes approach me—
What on earth are all these stories about me?

The rumors ride the wind and spread far away
The truth remains hidden, leaving only shadows behind.
Those lips that used to whisper love—
Why are they spitting out such cold, poisonous words?

This is a paradise of rumors, and I’m standing here alone
A place where wingless angels dance.
Everyone is getting drunk on beautiful lies;
I don’t want to wake up from this dream.

The reflection in the mirror feels like a stranger
I feel like I’ve become a doll created by someone else.
Where exactly did it all go wrong?
I just want to live as myself.

The rumors ride the wind and spread far away
The truth remains hidden, leaving only shadows behind.
Those lips that used to whisper love—
Why are they spitting out such cold, poisonous words?

This is a paradise of rumors, and I’m standing here alone
A place where wingless angels dance.
Everyone is getting drunk on beautiful lies;
I don’t want to wake up from this dream.

Even if everyone hates me
I am going to love myself.
Within these rumors that never stop
I will find a paradise of my own.

This is a paradise of rumors, and I’m standing here alone
A place where wingless angels dance.
Everyone is getting drunk on beautiful lies;
I don’t want to wake up from this dream.

I don’t want to wake up from this dream
My own paradise.
