12:00 AM ● Flowerpot, Map the Soul

Flowerpot by Alex from Clazziquai

He sang this to ShinAe in We Got Married Ep 8 because he was leaving for work and he gave her a flowerpot, telling her to take care of it until he comes back.

You come to me from some place far away

My heart trembles, how can I express my feeling?

You stole my heart from the start

And give me an incurable sickness

I want to become a flowerpot. I pray always

 

I’ll become a flowerpot that sits on your small windowsills

Though I can’t speak or want anything at all

I’ll be able to see you smile and feel your touch once a while

And I’ll be the one gazing at your face as you sleep

 

You leave me for some place far away

How can I stop my tears from falling?

You had my heart from the start

And made me suffer an incurable sickness

I want to become a flowerpot. I pray always.

 

I’ll become a flowerpot that sits on your small windowsills

Though I can’t speak or want anything at all

I’ll be able to see you smile and feel your touch once a while

And I’ll be the one gazing at your face as you sleep

 

I’ll become a flowerpot that sits on your small windowsills

Though I can’t speak or want anything at all

I’ll be able to see you smile and feel your touch once a while

And I’ll be the one gazing at your face as you sleep

Map the Soul by Tablo, Kero one and MYK

Map the Soul talks about the basics in life that you can't live without--MYK's verse talks about love, Tablo's about nature of the world, and Kero One's verse about God.

"So many songs, on a daily basis, flood the ears of the public with titillating words like 'seduction' and 'sexy'. Before writing the lyrics to "map the soul' we made a short list of the words that are getting increasingly difficult to hear in this time and age. Words we would like to hear more often on the radio...

Dying words: soul, eternity, destiny, gratitude, sincerity, peace, inspiration, faith, passion, beauty, music......" -- Tablo/Epik High

i remember my first glimpse of her face 
i saw you smile, then i smile 
i was straight blown away 
mesmerized by your beauty from your feet to your hands 
how could one be so beautiful i don't understand 
heaven sent, god's gift without a doubt in my mind 
sometimes i wonder why our paths decided to collide
 we started off as perfect strangers 
boy meets girl, infatuation to love 
now you're my whole entire world 
destiny taps me on the back -- saying hello 
but really it was your touch 
no and i'll never let you go 
then you spoke i never heard a voice so sweet 
heavenly 
and from her words man i knew this girl was deep 
just like me 
with times to worry and times to play 
we'll sit and stress over life or just burn the day away 

i know for sho' in our past life 
we had to be friends livin and dyin together 
knowin that we would meet again 
it's just a blessin to have you in my life 
i was destined, to be with you 
i'm privileged, so amazing no question 
and i'm knowin, soon enough we'll get where we're goin 
just thinkin about it i can feel my heart growing 
am i trippin? or is it that i finally see?
i don't know, but my heart is saying that you're the one for me
please believe me, i'm exactly where i wanna be
this rhyme is written from my heart to you
sincerely

no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you

you turn a cocooned soul into a butterfly
and i, lose control, can never turn aside
you shine like summer skies, like when a lover lies next to me and says to me
you make me wonder why
you are a beautiful mystery
every note carved into musical history
a simile, metaphor... words not enough to 
entrust to you,
trust that its true
we must have a clue but we asked for evidence
dwell in passing sentiments though we bask in eminence
every moment every day, busy getting paid away, the soul fades away into a grainy shade of grey
i pray, that you'll listen to what i say, 
cause i feel like a missing shoe
this is to everything that you are,
the wild earth, a child's birth, sun moon and the stars

no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you

check it out
so i ask what would i be without you?
like stevie without wonder
hunger without food
a sheep without a shepherd
asleep without your message
that despite the skeptic, in the end you were true
and i knew, that there was more to life
and i grew, livin for the light
i took my answers, combined them with yours
it made life exciting but it closed some doors
word to christ, my life accelerated and deflated
sunk to the bottom, then elevated till i made it
but you always had my back though
when kids threw rocks at me or on stage rappin
still -- i see kids without love
it brings tears to my soul
but why they always drop up
the world's gone bonkers 
you've conquered fear
and as long as i believe
you're the reason i'm here

no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you
no reason to live, without you

Being Alone by Clazziquai and Epik High

Even after we've parted the road we walked together
Even though I walk alone I'm not lonely... Though I'm alone...

Can I ever forget our shadows which walked the sea (can I forget it)
Can the blue sunflower ever laugh again (can't it smile again)

Though alone I'll say with a smile though no one will know it today
Though alone I'll say I'll laugh though no one will know it today

the hands of the sun clears the curtain of the clouds and it shines on the windblown hair
the world leans on its window looking at me... Though I'm alone...
In the coffee shop empty save me morning all morning I'm drowning in a book happy in the nick of time
with my high school friend who's called I want to forget the rest of the world lost in gossip
As the sun leaves I witness the moon and stars meeting I grip the inky wet fountain pen
I draw my life's melancholy melody on its score

In the warm sunshine the summer fragrance which kisses my lips rides the wind into my arms embracing my long nighmare destroying it/ i sigh/ my cdplayer cd digital camera
the brand new sights I see alone this journey for this worn bag
the sights and i become one depending on the time subway lines 2,3, going to Shinchon, Apgujung, Insadong
Regardless of where I am as long as in that worn bag my hand (ma soul) rests I'm all right, Though I'm alone

Though I'm alone (everything's gonna be ok, van gogh) and the cafe au lait we share
With no one knowing buy a train ticket to courtlane, like Hemingway I want to escape to the sea
I'm happy.... swallowing my loneliness, see, drunken in mine exclusive wine colored freedom
Unchanging, day after day I'm performng, see, stumbling on solitude's adante
In a cup of green tea I make small circling waves though alone, at long last
I find myself walking, on the bench I sing standing next to solitude
The melody of nature and the city The faraway neon sign burns sunset red Everything is so beautiful
It's regrettable wasteful for me to see it alone I wish it were with you


I really like Epik High because their music is original, has meaning to it and it's really catchy :D Just wanted to let you people who did my quiz and got that question know.
