Producer Primary is primarily known (ugh…sorry) for his work in the hip-hop genre of the Korean music world but his new EP takes things in a different direction. Teaming up with new relative newcomer vocalist/guitarist Oh Hyuk, they have created an album that falls more on the R&B/soul side of things. The second track on the album, Bawling, speaks of a relationship that is just about going through the motions. The soft vocals and jazz-styled production are a perfect match for each other and have a romantic sound despite its meaning.
Thanks to pop!gasa for the translation.
Lyrics:
On top of the long rail
I’m standing with you like last time
I swallow with my dry throat
And cool down the cold sweat on my back
just a little bit
just a little bit
Then I asked you about your day
I open my ears to your typical story
Trying to find an excuse to let you know that I changed
and we play
bowling bowling bowling bowling
bowling game again
that ball just
running running running running
running out again
Picking up the ball again
Writing down the score
Yeah, we’re sad
sideway, we take
You walked on a different path
But I didn’t match my steps with yours but matched my eyes with yours
You know, actions before words
there’s a lot of pins
you’re the one of them
Now I’ll ask you for a chance
In the silence
Trying to find an excuse to let you know that I changed
and we play
bowling bowling bowling bowling
bowling game again
that ball just
running running running running
running out again
Picking up the ball again
Writing down the score
Yeah, we’re sad
I wasn’t innocent
But had clean intentions
I didn’t know anything
We lost our minds
Because we didn’t do anything
It’s nothing
I didn’t know anything
We lost our minds
and we play
bowling bowling bowling bowling
bowling game again
that ball just
running running running running
running out again
Picking up the ball again
Writing down the score
Yeah, we’re sad
and we play
