JULIE - STALKER (Official Lyric Video)

*ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS AVAILABLE IN SUBTITLES!
Hi everyone, this is Julie!
This is a song I released on March 9th, 2017.
I can't believe two years have already passed!
I was actually going to post my original songs when I gained 1000 subscribers,
but it is taking longer than I expected...haha!😭
And as I was working with other TH-camrs (LAMIA, Genius Rapper), I felt that I wanted to release my original songs regardless of how many subscribers I have!
So, I wanted to let you guys know my song that I released... and I will continue to release more songs that I wrote in the past!
To explain this song...
It sounds like a timid girl searching SNS of a person she likes. That is true, but I wanted to add more meaning!
👉🏼1. First, EXPRESSING INTEREST IN PEOPLE IN GENERAL
One is likely to look into the SNS of people she is interested in. It is natural to scroll through feed or timeline on Instagram or Facebook, but for people you have more interest in, she is likely enter their profile page, carefully look through, and maybe even feel guilty for looking so carefully.
👉🏼2. Secondly, CONTRADICTION BETWEEN WANTING ATTENTION AND BEING CONCERNED ABOUT PRIVACY
Because SNS has developed so much, it is easy to find information about people. A simple search can easily find an SNS account. Although people post information online and want attention, if someone looks at it too carefully, it is possible that people feel uncomfortable.
The desire to expose oneself to greater number of people, and the tendency to be careful with privacy issues - may be contradictory, but cannot be parted.
👉🏼3. Thirdly, DESIRE TO OVERCOME SUPERFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS ONLINE
A TH-camr knows it is easy to obsess over number of views and subscribers. Whether it is a number of followers or friends, it can be used to show off and form an image. It can even be used for commercial purposes. In this song, I tried to express the desire to form genuine relationships that overcomes the superficiality.
☀︎coverart explanation
SNS means global connection, so I expressed diverse race with different skin colors. Wherever one is from, she could empathize on how she feels when engaging with SNS. The phone is 100% charged and the time is 11:11. 100% charged battery shows readiness due to nervousness. 11:11 is a time when a wish can be made, so it expresses hope. I actually charged my phone 100% and waited for the time to become 11:11 for this screenshot! HA
Please look forward to more original songs~!
Thank you always for listening! I can never fully express my gratitude! 😭

Korean + English Lyrics:
VERSE1
이미 시작됐나봐
It has already started
어느새 머리 속에
Already in my head
자리 잡힌 네 모습
You are stuck there
애써 무시해 봐도
I try very hard to ignore it
지워 보려고 해도
I try to get you out of my head
너무 늦어 버린 것 같아
But I think it is already too late
네가 보고 싶어서
I want to see you
네 이름을 검색해
So I search for your name
네 프사 touch 할 때마다
Whenever I touch your profile picture
심쿵심쿵해
My heart goes pit-a-pat
망설이다
I hesitate
뒤로 가길 눌러
Then, I press the back button
CHORUS
내가 이상한가요
Am I weird?
아니 뭐 괜찮겠죠
No, I don't think so
어차피 다 보라고
For everyone to see
게시하는 건데
Those posts are there
발달한 기술을
To be using developed technology
너무나 잘 쓰는게
Using them very well
나쁜 것은 아니잖아요
Is not a bad thing
지금 뭐 하고있지
What am I doing?
자신에게 물어도
I ask myself
손가락들이 머리를
My fingers do not
안 따라줘
listen to what I am saying in my head
무한한 궁금증이
My infinite curiosity
애매한 죄책감이
This ambiguous guilt
나아가서
Goes on and
스토커가 된 기분이야
I feel like I became a stalker
VERSE2
어머나 시간 좀 봐
Oh my goodness, look at the time
벌써 이렇게 됐네
Well, it already happened
오늘하루 다갔네
Today has already passed
한 것도 없는데
I didn't even do anything
고작 얻은 거라곤
But what I get is
더욱 광란해진 나의 맘
My heart that has become more crazy
결국 다 시간낭비
I guess it's a waste of time
알고도 널 검색해
But I still search your name
네 이름 click 할 때마다
Whenever I click your name
조마조마해
I feel nervous
혹시 먼저
Would it be okay
연락해도 될까
if I contact you first?
CHORUS*
BRIDGE
주말엔 뭘 했는지 알고 싶어
I want to know what you did over the weekend
이 순간엔 어떤 모습일까
I wonder how you would look right now
친구를 하나 더한 다는게
To add a friend
이렇게 힘든 거 였나요
Was it such a hard thing to do?
그대의 생년월일
Your birthday
자주보는 영화들
Movies you watch
다 나와있는 걸요
They are all written here
취향 저격 노래들
Song you like
즐겨하는 취미도
And your hobbies too
같이 좋아질 것 같아요
I think I will like them too
LAST CHORUS
내가 이상한가요
Am I weird?
그럴 수도 있지요
I think it is okay to be like this
있는 거 보는게
To see what is there
죄짓는 건가요
is not committing a crime
이렇게 더 볼수록
As I see more
많이 알아갈수록
As I know more about you
현실에서 더 친해질까
Would I become close to you in reality?
피상으로 맺어진
Superficiality has gathered many
수 많은 사람들 중에
Among many people
의미 있는 흔적을
Meaningful sign
남기고 싶어
I want to leave
지나친 생각들이
Overthinking and
앞서간 내 마음이
My heart rushing
더해 져서
Add up and
스토커가 된 기분이야
I feel like a stalker
지나친 생각들이
Overthinking and
앞서간 내 마음이
My heart rushing
OUTRO
너를 스쳐갈 때마다
Whenever I pass by you
심쿵심쿵해
My heart goes pit-a-pat
내가 말야
Yes, me
스토커가 된 기분이야
I feel like I became a stalker
