TOMORROW
TODAY
Original by : JJ Project
Cover by : Lee Jaehyeong
The song Tomorrow Today originally sung by JJ Project speaks about the internal struggle of making decisions and the uncertain future that awaits when one takes a path. The lyrics of the song convey the fear and insecurity that come with the decision-making process. The first verse questions why one has to choose between tomorrow and today when the future is uncertain. It questions how someone can know the path to take when their dreams are becoming hazy, and they cannot glimpse what the future holds.
The second verse talks about the fear of making the wrong decision as one's choices become more frightening. Despite asking for guidance and trying to walk confidently towards the future, one's own insecurities and doubts can hold them back. The chorus repeats the same lines that keep asking for guidance on which path to take, highlighting how lost the singer feels. The bridge conveys the idea that each day counts, and it is essential to stand steadfast in the present rather than regretting decisions later. The song reminds us that we have the power to choose and that courage and perseverance are key to overcome the fear of the unknown.
왜 내일을 오늘 골라야만 해
Why must I decide about tomorrow, today?
내일 일을 오늘 내가 어떻게 아는데
How should I know what tomorrow will bring?
흐려져 가는 길과 나의 꿈들
My path and my dreams are fading
시간을 돌려 미리 내 미랠 보여준다면
If I could turn back time and see my future
어떤 길로 갈 지 내 길이 어딘지
I would know which way to go
알 수 있을 텐데
I would know where my path is
어떻게 이렇게 나의 눈을 반쯤 가린 채
Why are you telling me to choose
Somebody let me know, tell me which way to go
Cuz I don't, don't, don't know
계속 고르라며 날 떠미는데
When I only have my eyes half-open?
오늘도 답을 잘 모르는 질문에
Again today, there are questions I don't know
끝없이 답을 해 자신이 없는데
I'm trying to answer but I'm not confident
이 길일까 저 길일까
Is it this way or that way?
내 선택들이 점점 두려워져
I'm afraid of my decision
불안한 마음 마음 마음 마음 마음으로
With an anxious heart heart heart heart
I'm standing in front of the next next next choice
난 또 다음 다음 다음 선택 앞에
가본 적 없는 길과 길 사이에서
Between paths that I've never gone on before
어떻게 내 길을 찾을 지 두렵지
How can I find my way?
하루 하루 가는 게
I'm afraid, day by day
바쁜 하루 중에도 끝없이 물어봐
Even when I'm busy, they endlessly ask
앞으로 가면서도 자꾸만 돌아봐
I'm going forward but I keep looking back
저 끝에 나아가선 난 뭐가 됐을지
What will I become at the end?
나중에 돌아볼 때 후회하진 않을지
Will I regret it if I look back later on?
주먹을 꽉 쥐어봐도 소심한 내 자신이
I clench my fists but I'm still timid
언제든 날 스스로 가로막아
But I stop myself and try to have courage
기를 내서 또 걸어봐도
So I can walk again but
Oh no, no, no
오늘도 답을 잘 모르는 질문에
Again today, there are questions I don't know
끝없이 답을 해 자신이 없는데
I'm trying to answer but I'm not confident
이 길일까 저 길일까
Is it this way or that way?
내 선택들이 점점 두려워져
I'm afraid of my decision
불안한 마음 마음 마음 마음 마음으로
With an anxious heart heart heart heart
I'm standing in front of the next next next choice
난 또 다음 다음 다음 선택 앞에
가본 적 없는 길과 길 사이에서
Between paths that I've never gone on before
어떻게 내 길을 찾을 지 두렵지
How can I find my way?
하루 하루 가는 게
I'm afraid, day by day
사라지는 하루들을 건너
Across the disappearing day
지금 이 자리에 서있어
I'm standing right here
돌이킬 수 없는 또 하루를
As I let go of another day
이렇게 떠나 보내며
That I can't turn back
오늘도 답을 잘 모르는 질문에
Again today, there are questions I don't know
끝없이 답을 해 자신이 없는데
I'm trying to answer but I'm not confident
이 길일까 저 길일까
Is it this way or that way?
내 선택들이 점점 두려워져
I'm afraid of my decision
불안한 마음 마음 마음 마음 마음으로
With an anxious heart heart heart heart
I'm standing in front of the next next next choice
난 또 다음 다음 다음 선택 앞에
가본 적 없는 길과 길 사이에서
Between paths that I've never gone on before
어떻게 내 길을 찾을 지 두렵지
How can I find my way?
하루 하루 가는 게
I'm afraid, day by day
Tell me, tell me
So tell me which way to go
Which way to go
So tell me which way to go
Tell me, tell me
So tell me which way to go
