Description

“	'Quarter Life' is a unit song by Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai. It is a medium-tempo stadium rock song that conveys youthful energy in the chorus melody.This song contains Tomorrow by Together's attitude toward dealing with the existential crisis (quarter-life crisis) felt at the one-quarter point in one's life. Even though it feels like being trapped in a tunnel with no exit, the will to live without giving up is heartwarming. Taehyun and Subin participated in writing the lyrics.	”
— Melon

Translation
A quarter life Someone calling my age A long, long tunnel I've been walking for about a quarter Such a long, long tunnel They say it's good times Beautiful youth is only now Although it's hard, I ain't happy at all I ain't happy at all Is there an end to this dark tunnel? Even if I shout, it's just an echo Where should I go? In the midst of unsolicited advice with no answers Lonely, left alone Feels like walking in place, quarter life crisis Thrown into life without an exit Don't know the end of this road Every day feels so bleak Feels like walking in place, quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quarter life crisis Don't wanna say Even if I'm struggling, don't wanna say This life is ruined, I fucked it up Won't say "I fucked it up," no Maybe now is the darkest point Let's not stop right now Don't know where to go But keep walking Even if it's dark right now Navigate through it like wandering, quarter life crisis Don't look back, can't go back What being an adult really is There might not be a definite answer Navigate through it like wandering, quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Quarter life crisis Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Navigate through it like wandering, quarter life crisis Don't know where to go But keep walking Even if it's dark right now Navigate through it like wandering, quarter life crisis
