■The theme of this song is "In a Twisted World," and it is contained in my playlist titled "歪んだ世界"

They say wisdom comes with age

But some just rot in their golden cage

책을 많이 읽었다고 해도

Respect이 뭔지, 아직 몰라

He wears his pride like a dusty coat

Worn out truths and tired quotes

"Back in my day," he always starts

But never listens, just throws darts

한때는 세상을 안다고 믿었지

근데 사람 마음 하나 못 읽네

Degrees and titles, medals on the wall

But never learned how to take a fall

"감정은 약함이다" he says with a grin

While silence hides everything within

Spell it, old man — R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Not just for you, it's meant to be

It’s not fear, it’s not control

It’s the way you see a human soul

말보다 먼저 나와야 하는 건 배려야

He thinks he's strong, with his booming voice

But kindness was never part of his choice

"남자는 울지 않아," he repeats

But love dies where empathy depletes

지식이 인격을 대신할 수는 없어

지위가 품격이 되는 법도 없지

The past you guard like it's holy ground

But trample others just to feel proud

“요즘 애들은 몰라” — maybe they do

More than you, and more than you knew

Spell it, old man — R-E-S-P-E-C-T

You shout, but no one truly speaks

You take space, but give back none

사랑이 아니라, 복종을 원했지

그건 존중이 아니라, 그냥 독백이지

This isn't hate, it’s just the truth

Time doesn’t make you bulletproof

경험보다 중요한 건

배울 의지가 아직 있는가

And if you never question why

Then wisdom passed you right on by

Spell it, old man — R-E-S-P-E-C-T

It's not a crown, it's not a key

You lost it somewhere in your youth

늙었다고 다 어른이 아니야

듣지 않으면, 배울 수도 없잖아

“Maybe the world didn’t change too fast.

Maybe you just stopped learning.”

■ Chinese Lyrics

拼出來吧，老爺子

人們說智慧隨年齡而來

但有些人只是困死在金籠裡

就算書讀得再多

還是不懂什麼叫做「尊重」

他把自尊披在身上，就像一件落滿灰塵的外套

陳腔濫調、過時名言

「在我們那個年代……」他總是這樣開場

卻從不傾聽，只會丟冷箭

曾經他以為自己看透世界

可連人的心都讀不懂

牆上掛著學歷、頭銜、勳章

卻從未學會怎麼承認失敗

「感情是弱點」他笑著說

沉默，卻掩藏了一切

拼出來吧，老爺子——R-E-S-P-E-C-T

不是只給你，而是給所有人

它不是恐懼，也不是控制

是你看見一個人靈魂的方式

比話語更先該出現的，是「體貼」

他以為嗓門大就是力量

可溫柔從不是他的選項

「男人不許哭」他一遍遍重複

但在缺乏同理的地方，愛會死去

知識不能取代人格

地位也不會自動變成品格

你把過去當聖地守護

卻踐踏他人，只為讓自己驕傲

「現在的年輕人不懂」——也許他們懂

比你更多，也比你當年更清楚

拼出來吧，老爺子——R-E-S-P-E-C-T

你大聲嚷嚷，卻沒人願意真正開口

你佔據空間，卻什麼也不回饋

你想要的不是愛，而是服從

那不是尊重，那只是你一個人的獨白

這不是仇恨，只是事實

年齡不會讓你刀槍不入

比經驗更重要的是：

你還願意學習嗎？

如果你從不問「為什麼」

那智慧早已從你身邊溜走

拼出來吧，老爺子——R-E-S-P-E-C-T

它不是皇冠，不是通行證

你在年輕時就把它遺失了

年老不等於成熟

不肯聽，就永遠學不會

「也許世界並沒有變得太快，

只是你早就停止學習了。」
