English Translation

I collect my breath on the court
A teenage boy, who’s afraid of reality, feels relieved when he throws the basketball
the basketball he throws around by himself
The things that I throw towards the rim are
my countless concerns and life’s worries
I pretend like I know the world, but I’m still premature
Shoot! The (basketball) court is my playground
A small ball bounces next to my feet, following the movements of my hand
My grades crawl around the ground, but I instead
just scream out saying that everything’s gonna work out in this world
But the world tries to scare me, ‘if you’re gonna be like that, then just stop’
Thoughts that fill up my head, instead of throwing the ball, I throw my future instead
Once again, thanks to the horoscopes that others paint and the disqualifications of success’ criteria
worries spread like cancer god damn it
A thrown basketball and the spreading laughter that came along with it
My dreams squirm around as my breath reaches up to my chin
Dribble getting faster and my heart getting happier
This moment will feel like it’ll last forever, but when the night
comes around again, I eat a bit of reality
When I snap out of it and gain focus I always end up getting scared
when I see my scared dumbass-self
Reality toppling over me
Others are running ahead of me, but why am I still here
take a breather or dream
I build my paddle again, following the sound of my heartbeat
If you live while ignoring the fact that you’re trapped inside others’ small-ass criterion
just like the (basketball) court, life also drifts into the sunset

(T/N: He’s saying that just as how a sunset signifies the end of the day, life is just the same; as the day grows closer to sunset, you’re growing older)

What am I doin’ with my life
This moment doesn’t come around again I ask myself again, if I’m happy right now
The answer to that is already decided. I’m happy
