상처
김동률
Piano enters with a bruised, unresolved chord before settling into a minor-key melody of measured restraint. Kim Dong-ryul's voice carries an unusual rawness here — the baritone more exposed than polished, as if a layer of production had been deliberately peeled away. "상처" (wound/scar) examines emotional damage with the precision of someone describing a physical injury: where it came from, what it looks like now, how it changes the tissue around it. The lyric doesn't dramatize pain — it catalogs it with quiet accuracy, the way someone might trace a scar and remember without flinching. Strings enter mid-track with an ache that feels earned rather than decorative. The production keeps space around the vocals, letting silence work as counterpoint. There is something specifically adult about this song — not the raw grief of something fresh but the more complex relationship with wounds that have partially healed and left their mark. Best heard alone, in the specific mood of being honest with yourself about something you usually avoid looking at.
