Howl (Acoustic Ver.)

뎁트 / 2025.05.21 발매

산들바람이 불던 어느 날,
오랜만에 한 친구를 만났습니다. 
평소보다 차분해 보이던 그 친구는 
갑작스레 눈물을 흘렸어요 
자신의 감정을 감당할 수 없어서 괴롭다고 했어요 
가치관이 뚜렷하고 자기 확신이 강했던 친구라 많이 놀랐습니다.
저는 섣불리 위로의 말을 건네지 못하고
그 친구가 하는 말을 들어주었습니다
 
집에 오니 생각이 많아졌습니다
내가 무너질 땐 어떻게 해야 하는 걸까, 
누구를 붙잡고 하소연해야 하나 고민하며 밤을 지새웠습니다
다들 자기 자신을 포장하면서 그렇게들 살잖아라며 쉽게 치부할 수는 없었어요 
이미 제 마음속에 무거운 질문이 몇 가지 자리 잡은 뒤였으니까요
저는 있는 그대로 제 모습을 받아들이기 힘들어합니다
욕심을 버릴 수도 없고 불안한 감정이 생겨나는 것을 막을 수도 없습니다
그럴 때마다 제가 할 수 있는 일은 
자기 자신을 찾는 일이라고 생각해요
길을 잃고 마음이 무너지더라도
그 일만큼은 무엇보다 중요하고 잊지 말아야겠죠.

One breezy day, I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while.
Though my friend seemed calm at first, they suddenly broke into tears, saying they were overwhelmed.
It surprised me—this was someone who had always seemed so sure of themselves.
I hesitated to offer any words of comfort and simply listened instead.

That night, my mind was full of thoughts.
What should I do when I find myself falling apart?
Who could I turn to?
I couldn't just brush it off by thinking, "Everyone struggles."
The questions had already sunk deep into me.
Accepting myself as I am has never been easy.
I can’t let go of my desires, nor can I stop the waves of anxiety from rising.
But in those moments, the only thing I can do is to keep searching for myself.
Even if I lose my way and my heart crumbles, finding myself again is what truly matters—and it's something I must never forget.
