The vacuum cleaner that only seemed loud
And the sound of my mother’s cutting board moving busily
Even when they woke me, I pretended to sleep, but now I can no longer hear them
When I woke from the dream, all I heard was the alarm
Living has shown me how hard it is to find even one person on my side
At least I should have been on your side
Without knowing the weight of the smell of alcohol on my father
Now that I have grown older, I take a sip too
And the sound of my mother’s cutting board moving busily
Even when they woke me, I pretended to sleep, but now I can no longer hear them
When I woke from the dream, all I heard was the alarm
Living has shown me how hard it is to find even one person on my side
At least I should have been on your side
Without knowing the weight of the smell of alcohol on my father
Now that I have grown older, I take a sip too

Grandpa, how are you? Are you doing well these days?
How do I look, watching from where you are?
I made up my mind to return all the love I received
To Mom, Dad, my sibling, and Grandma too
I should have taken more family photos
When I get tired, I miss that hearty laugh
Even now, whenever I remember you, I become a little kid again
Because you were my very first friend
How do I look, watching from where you are?
I made up my mind to return all the love I received
To Mom, Dad, my sibling, and Grandma too
I should have taken more family photos
When I get tired, I miss that hearty laugh
Even now, whenever I remember you, I become a little kid again
Because you were my very first friend

The babbling of my childhood becomes a song
Now, a confession for my mother
My stumbling first steps become this stage
And I dance for my father
Now, a confession for my mother
My stumbling first steps become this stage
And I dance for my father

Prompted by a heartbreaking nightmare of loss, the narrator reminisces about ordinary household sounds, the hidden struggles of their parents, and the comforting presence of a late grandfather.
