I actually couldn't find the translation for Soundscape so I was forced to imagine what meaning of the lyrics. Truth be told, I was getting tired of translating love songs. A lot of BoA's songs are love songs so I decided since I had free reign on this one, I would write about somethng that was meaningful to me right now. So I wrote about moving on in life, how everybody wants to stay still, pause time, etc. The lyrics from this one really came from my heart, especially right now in my life where I'm making the biggest decision of my life right now. And the whole idea of Soundscape being your own beat, your own rhythm was fascinating to me. =) Enjoy~
Soundscape (English Version: Soundscape)
A lesson that you can’t escape
A path to take, it’s called life and I am ready
So walk to your own beat
This beat, that I call my own, my soundscape
(Tu)
We always try to stay still
Pause the moment, pause the joy
Learning to move on
If you’re waiting then come with me and learn
No matter what you can’t stop
This thing we call life, oh
I’ll wait ‘til you are ready
Press play and live
To live, to love, to go somewhere
You’ll have to prepare
To live, to love, to go somewhere
Brace for the pain
A lesson that you can’t escape
A path to take, it’s called life and I am ready
So walk to your own beat
This beat, that I call my own, my soundscape
Does it really matter if?
If you can’t dance to the beat of someone else’s
Look in the mirror there
It’s you, so be you and no one else
(Your soundscape) (Soundscape)
The girl who wants to learn
Though she tries she can’t catch up
She doesn’t understand
A rhythm, it can’t be rushed or forced
A beat that’s made for us
Why try to change, it?
Just live life as yourself and
She’s not a stupid girl
To live, to love, to go somewhere
I’ll cherish everything
To live, to love, to go somewhere
My precious melodies
A lesson that you can’t escape
A path to take, it’s called life and I am ready
So walk to your own beat
This beat, that I call my own, my soundscape
Does it really matter if?
If you can’t dance to the beat of someone else’s
Look in the mirror there
It’s you, so be you and no one else
(No one else)
(Woah)
We always want to be
Someone else and live a different life, why do we?
Just stop, just release
All the feelings inside
You just can’t stop it (Soundscape)
(Tu)
