Story

① A repair bench with a stringless guitar, and a hanging cap① 줄 없는 기타가 놓인 수리 작업대와 걸린 모자

② A new set of strings, unopened, and the snapped string, coiled② 뜯지 않은 새 줄과 감아둔 끊어진 줄

③ Mid-solo, a translucent hand behind him fretting the same note③ 솔로 중, 뒤에서 같은 음을 짚는 반투명 손

He grew up in a repair shop at Nakwon Arcade, stealing riffs by ear while customers' guitars got fixed. On the night of the first demo in 2019, his first string snapped mid-solo. BLAKE never replaced it. Since then, the last note of every solo he plays is missing.

낙원상가 수리점에서 자랐다. 손님 기타를 고치며 귀로 리프를 훔쳤다. 2019년 첫 데모 밤, 솔로 도중 1번 줄이 끊어졌다. BLAKE는 그 줄을 다시 갈지 않았다. 그 뒤로 그의 솔로는 항상 마지막 한 음이 비어 있다.

In the details

Fifteen seconds of intro solo, then — bang. In every solo, “something else” fills the missing note. The cap carries through all three scenes.

인트로 솔로 15초 → 쾅. 솔로마다 빠진 한 음을 「다른 무언가」가 채운다. 세 장면 모두 모자가 이어진다.

Lyrics

Nakwon Arcade, a repair shop lightBroken guitars brought back to lifeI learned every riff that walked through the doorBy ear, on the floor, then I asked for more

Six strings, six namesOne of them never came

There's a note I never playLeft it in the dark that dayThere's a note I never playSomething sings it anywayMISSING NOTE

Twenty-nineteen, the first demo nightMid-solo the high string snapped in the lightI never replaced it, I let the gap stayAnd something on the tape sang back that day

Six strings, six namesOne of them never came

There's a note I never playLeft it in the dark that dayThere's a note I never playSomething sings it anywayMISSING NOTE

I left it in the dark

끊어졌다! (It snapped!)

There's a note I never playLeft it in the dark that dayThere's a note I never playSomething sings it anywayMISSING NOTE
