Epik High- Be *English subs* audio

[jonghoontraxieyum]

the same tune repeating over and over again was never so beautiful T___T

[s3312606]

what do you want me to be ?

[MISHELLOful]

i miss epik high....

[DeanieFan]

@thejwjerry Yeah Tablo did join YG, for one they are not a crap company, they have the most amazing kpop bands. With so much talent. And his new song "airbag" is just amazing, most of us cried buy it.

[indiaroseee]

@thejwjerry idk if you're trolling or...but yeah Tablo has joined YG and released a solo single "airbag" through them today haha :)

[Maikerunihon]

epik high is legendary !

[iEatOysters]

YG better not take away any of his awesomeness.

[thejwjerry]

@iEatOysters he's not part of YG. thankfully. if tablo was, he'd probably quit hiimself.

[iEatOysters]

@thejwjerry

REALLY?! So does that mean that Tablo joining YG is a rumour?

[thejwjerry]

@iEatOysters ... he is currently in stanford doing lectures. how would he be in YG? he has his own label. MaptheSoul. lol. why in the world would he join another crap company that ain't gonna give him shit? haha

[xStrawberryenvy]

@thejwjerry He's in YG.

[thejwjerry]

@xStrawberryenvy and who doesn't know? when it was 4 months ago, it wasn't a sure thing.

[xStrawberryenvy]

@thejwjerry Ah. Just clarifying in case you were still unsure, which I doubted.

[tofufication]

@thejwjerry Um..Map The Soul remerged with his old company ages ago, and now he's fully with YG after his horrid scandal.

[thejwjerry]

@iEatOysters there wasn't even a rumor like that.. lol where are you getting your facts from?

[Zahina123]

@thejwjerry you feel dumb now dont you. he is in YG. he's doing freaking awesome =____=

[thejwjerry]

@Zahina123 pls read what i previously wrote.

[CyanItchati]

@Kra7as Because obviously epik high has international fans. And since not all international fans know korean fluently, english is the most natural language for us to communicate in. ^^

[IsBrie]

I love Epik High and I love this song but whenever I hear it, it makes me stop and think and I almost feel scared.

[yichella]

I don't mean to sound irreverent, but this is actually a great song to help learn Korean vocabulary 0.0

[Kra7as]

why are all comments in english? I thought this was a korean song??

[IkangLim]

@Kra7as Because no matter what language the lyrics in, music has its own language :)

[u0fo]

@IkangLim Well said, my friend. Well said.

[dreamstreet4eva]

@Kra7as um, youtube is mainly an english site?

[Kra7as]

@dreamstreet4eva

mainly. not entirely. this is an exception, it's not an english song.

[Inaambre]

Wow... this video makes me feel strange... so calm but effective ! it's returning my tripes :s

anyway, so beautiful, i like ! & i think it's one of my favorite song from Epik High :)

thanks !

[mayainmotion]

such a beautiful song

[misielww]

when i listen this song, i don't know who i am D:::::: idk why but i just get this feeling.

[Javagui21]

depressing song

[K0koK00koo]

This is an amazing song! Does anyone know of a similar song to this?

[TASCobsession]

could someone send me a link or the picture of the album cover? X(

[twilighters102]

this turned me on ...o__o

new fan here !! ♥

[AZDA118]

Wow... is all I can say, this music just amazes me, a lot. Just.... wow...

[LegendaryxEyes]

Okay. This is my new favourite song.

[PigenOneMe]

@turquoisesurprise :)

[13onra]

Epik High makes me feel cry. cause how much i love their music, melody , rhythm..

[PigenOneMe]

this song... no words can tell how much i love this song.. when i hear it, it gives me this feeling...

[SwithXeniachen]

the music is sooo sad ... feels like i got tears in my eyes.. don't know

[Nnedix]

Nuff said. :)

[R3DST4R1]

3 ppl didnt get high off this music

[WaterBearer2008]

Epik High amazes me with each song. They are truly individualistic and original. Kudos.....hwaiting.

[CyanItchati]

The song is so surreal, but still so realistic. It's totally distant, but still you feel like they're talking about you. HOW DO THEY DO THIS? D:

[KimchiNhamXKJH]

I suddenly started crying near the end when it said "I'm nothing... what do you want me to be"

[Gonji]

True music is natural instinct and intuitive imagination, not recycled jargon.

[music4lifebaby]

I dont know if Epik high, meant for this song to be spiritual or anything. I think they were just trying to say that..Life, isnt only about one thing. You can "be" whatever you want..there isnt one set path.

[emmaa2313]

three people dont know what real music is.

[PigenOneMe]

THIS is music!

[ally1234]

no matter what mood im in when i hear this song im always so close to tears.... so beautiful...

[flashkick29]

Lil Wayne, I sure hope you're taking notes.

[thevoiceofreason94]

@flashkick29 well he's a really fuckin good artist too :p its just that the asian style is completely different from american style

[focusonnow]

its difficult to find a song like this that really makes you think

only epik high can be this good

[RachelRAGEE]

Epik High really has some interesting and inspiring songs. ^.^

[CassyYuen]

always one of my fav lyrics

[Animerocker11]

I think one of the points is being nothing, u have no beliefs in what creature u are so u can be anything ..

[magykangel]

can anyone tell me which album this inspirational song is from?

[bugiano1]

@magykangel it's the intro for their 5th album Pieces, Part One (:

[truebluenat]

epik high made me realize words dont have to make sence it all comes from within you I just can't get enough of there music

[truebluenat]

probably one of my favorites

[navpreet13]

I am sure this song has a deep meaning way more deep then pple usually think

[Dootii]

I can't find this song anywhere! D:

[kimsuke101]

it explains the meaning of purgatory very clearly, it's like:

I'm not in heaven nor am I in hell

what am I

I'm nothing.

[koolvic01]

love it!

[rainy2roses]

i love he's voice

[blabla2651]

This song is about Buddhism, how everything is nothing and nothing is everything, be you, be whatever you want to be, because it is nothing and nothing is everything. Its kind of crazy because i just wanted to listen to sum Epik High, and found this song while studying for my zen buddhism class.

[roseminty]

Wow... This is so haunting and beautiful. I'm starting to be really amazed by Epik High's songs. o.o I think I just became a fan.

[TheEvilCow1]

If you listen to a high quality version of this song (not youtube) there's this deep bass part that goes with the bass pedal on this song, and it makes the song sound like 100x better xD

Without the bass part, it sounds really good, but with it, it sounds amazing :D

[kawaiiSubarulove]

whoa! this song feeds my designing creativity! I love this! It's beautiful and mysterious! But i'm kinda creeped out cuz i also just read the lyrics to Paranoia prt 1 and 3 and then this and next Eve -Be backmask! so yea, creeped out! but can't stop listening to it!

[frozenX207]

this song is beautiful :)

i love the piano. it's so nostalgic

[poopmanout]

download link?

[Epikhighcutie]

I LOVE this song but when i read the lyrics -.- so sad T.T

[Princesaabandonada20]

TAAAAAAAAAAABLOOO I LOVE YOU ♥

[purpletoad9]

where is the backward version of the song?

[teekaymonster]

look up epik high backmask be

[dworkk1234]

how come i can't find this song anywhere else?

[HelloMyFallen]

He has really good English. This is the first time I've heard them. Can anyone give me anymore songs like this? I really like it.

[TraitINTP]

yeah he majored english literature in Stanford University. He wrote a book called "Pieces of You" that you can buy in mapthesoul. c o m

[yukitenshi123]

It's actually a pretty good collection of short stories. I have the book and I would say 'Andante' was my favorite....

[mila203]

he was born here in US

[mapleluver]

no he wasnt, he moved to canada when he was 8 or 11? one of those.

[1093loveandbreak]

8, vancouver. GOD TABLO...if he were in Toronto >.> I might've seen him :/

[azninvazn619]

too many... well there's butterfly effect, ignition, one, nocturne, let it rain, map the soul, hon, believe, etc.

[HelloMyFallen]

sank'u!

[AKARekz]

Sorry to bother, but what's Backmasking? D:

[poetx213]

its when you play the original music backwards...

[AKARekz]

oh.... okay thanks!

[SweetestDarkAngel]

i can't find the lyrics !

[HelloMyFallen]

What do you mean you can't find the lyrics? They're on the video. At the bottom, in purple/white. hehe. <3

[SweetestDarkAngel]

haha i meant the romanization, sorry! XD

[HelloMyFallen]

ah. That would explain a bit. I can't find them either. I wonder if this is the actual name of the song, because I can't really find any references to 'Be' in general... odd.

[mila203]

ds is the name of the song

[SweetestDarkAngel]

so suave ... ! splendid style !

[TraumaRabbit]

i feel so guilty when i download there songs, but i find no place else to get their cds, i can atleast support them by telling Epik High to everyone i no :/

[peiyun1993]

you can get it online. yesasia has got everything.

[mila203]

ah but i not old enough yet and my mother won't buy it for me or my father

[Bagbird]

This song reminds me of Beckett's Waiting for Godot

XD

[azndramafreak82]

this is why epik high is so awesome. seriously just amazing. lol i'm doing a paper on their fifth album, and i'm seeing soo many connections just between the cover art and its symbolism, and i haven't even started analyzing their actual songs. ^_^

pure genius.

[ijamesyun]

song=awesome. its about being nothing,everything,something,a­nything

[ijamesyun]

haha credits and cheers to whoever put up this song thx =]

[pokelin282]

how do i get this song?

[chuyenfairytale]

this is why i love epik high.... tablo..wow...this is is simple in lyrics but it's really meaningful...haha. wow, he's a genius

[RuGeaR]

woah...

i was hyper a a few minutes ago, but this song calmed me down... and the next thing i realized, i was in complete silence! O_o

i guess i was carried away by the song...

it sounds nice, you know... =)

[jlee0403]

"I'm whatever you want him to be". He could be God from any religion, people would praise their God, God's from the religion they follow.

He saves the lives who need religion to change their life. And he could be disease to those lives he has ruined. He has saved some lives while killing many through the Crusades and even today with suicide bombers killing themselves and others in the name of their God.

[Midna99]

hahah, i would follow tablo XD

[jlee0403]

I feel like he could be talking about God.

He is nowhere to be seen not left right or above or below.

And the phrase "from the truth" like from the bible/God.

He's nothing to Athiest but to religious people he is everything they follow him like they know hes there they are their everything.

[DFX4life]

nice vid but try to make some stuff movin

[3n0rr3v88]

ne1 wanna share the romanized lyrics of this song?... im not korean but i luv this song xD its creepy and pretty in a good way =]

[djhackyasha]

Apparantly, from what i have read, this song is about the average teen and how they worry about how the world sees them. then the next song on the album, "breakdown" is another teen telling this one to " not give a F*"

[FSummers01]

it seems to have that cold affect it actually makes me think coldly when i hear it like remorseless its weird weird feelin

[madeleine0990]

i have a copy of this song, any1 want a copy?

[3n0rr3v88]

i want it!!! xD i cant find it newhere =[

[seimeijump]

Buy the Album

[theciapriscilla]

Are they christian??

[Bagbird]

I think Tablo is. Mithra is Buddhist. Not sure about tukutz

[YUSOMEAN]

mithra isnt buddhist... he's a christian too rite?

[Bagbird]

I was under the impression he was Buddhist because of how often he makes Buddhist references.

But I might be wrong, of course.

[djhackyasha]

'he makes referances to everything. one time, he was on a radio show with kangin from Super junior, and said that the most important thing to him is "God". he also quotes christian thing alot in his music. Check out 'Remapping the human soul' that one is full of references.

[peperomochi]

only tablo was raised christian.

[eason048]

this song is amazinly good !! love the melody ~ awesome !!

[ichbinfroh]

i love this song. the song sounds so chilling, i've always liked songs like that :] thanks for subbing!!

[SuJuing]

This song always makes me feel so cold...

[JrockAddict08]

This melody is amazing.

[Eakiller]

O.O The hidden message is when you play it backwards it sounds like, "Jesus, where are you?" In Korean.

[theciapriscilla]

what??

[Eakiller]

If you play the song backwards thats what it seems to say.

[gurwotjdals]

i really like this melody

[Sakura90638]

I'll check it out sometime, thanks!:)

[Sakura90638]

Part of the hidden message was like....

"My god is forsaken"

"There's not enough blood....."

Or so I hear. I haven't heard it personally.

[TheAsianMission]

"There's not enough blood" is a line from a totally different song that a Korean "Be Backmasking" article talks about.. BTW I posted the backmasking with subs

[Sakura90638]

Like I said I haven't listened to it personally. It's just what the papers said.

Really? Never mind then...It's hard to tell what he's saying, really....

[TheAsianMission]

you might want to check out the Korean subs version on naver.. or you might not want to^^ if you're interested it's there

[GMR1337]

He might be using some word play? It sounds like he's saying "gido". The korean word for prayer.

I'm probably wrong though.

[jlee0403]

Thanks for pointing that out.

[essy190]

purgatory?

[echoi94]

ive heard this song has subliminal messages(hidden or backwords messages more like from the satan's message)

my dad wouldnt let me listen to this song becuase hes very religious.

[herokensai]

is that true?? =O

[kpoploverx3]

yes. it is true. it even was on news. tablo even didnt disagree that he put a hidden message in it.

so...yeah...there are hidden and backward messages

[kpoploverx3]

woops. on my sis account. im echoi94. please reply to echoi94. if u need to.

[herokensai]

do you know what's the message? =O

[echoi94]

i cant really explain it.

[hakktmc]

Try my video response ;)

[hakktmc]

This is my favorite within the ablum

It's so deep and meaningful...

[dragonash1993]

my dad just listened to this and said the answer could be "you as a person"

[TheAsianMission]

that's my opinion too^^

[imissae]

i think the answer to the riddle is

"personality"

[dragonash1993]

i think it may be personality too

[iluvpanic26]

I feel like the fact that no one can figure it out is the beauty of the song

Everyone argues

But maybe that's what tablo wanted, for everyone to find something in the song that belonged solely to them... that made them connect to it

Or maybe i'm wrong

~annie*~

[LostMemoriex]

isnt it obvious? in the end he sed something about how he'll be what you want him to be. meaning tat its how u judge tat person...if u think hes bad..then hes bad if good, then good. make sense?

[tcmbe]

maybe the answer lies in the backmasking?

xD;; idk.

thank you for taking the time to translate and sub all these videos.^^ it's very appreciated. i really love your translations.

[Sakura90638]

I'm not gonna go too into the song...

I think what they want to say is, whatever you need, I can become. Whatever you are, I'll be.

[PaperClip123]

actually i think guwon is right

because if you were suicidal, 'death' would be your savior

and then your savior could give life as in a sort of "rebirth"

[TheAsianMission]

what about "I can be a disease or the cure"... "I can be hot or cold"? it doesn't look like we'll agree on the same answer^^

[PaperClip123]

well you have to look at it from all perspectives,

which is what the song is aiming for in "whatever you want me to be"

because your savior COULD be a disease, as well as the cure

&he's saying he can be hot or cold?

[TheAsianMission]

[The answer] can be hot or cold, [The answer] can be a disease or the cure, [The answer] can be me or you etc. I think that's the format of the riddle.

[TheAsianMission]

and again...^^ I think "whatever you want me to be" refers to a person being able to choose their own identity, "I can be me, or you", "I can be hot or cold (hearted)", "I can be good or evil".. that also matches the title of the song "be", you can "be" what you want to "be".. You can bring yourself life or death, you can be your own disease or cure, etc... of course just my interpretation, but I've gotta put it out there and I think it matches every line in the song without being too abstract.

[PaperClip123]

wow o_o i never thought of it that way

okay i think you're right on that xD

[TheAsianMission]

Nobody else...? maybe the answer's something like "the human soul"?

[PaperClip123]

wow o.o

that's all i have to say

[ntcgy]

death?

[TheAsianMission]

"I'm neither life nor death"

[Sakura90638]

"I need the one"

"The question is, what do you want me to be?"

Whatever we need, whatever "guwon" we need...

[TheAsianMission]

interesting.. I was afraid everybody would come up with the same answer as me. Anybody else before I say what I think??

[TheAsianMission]

but... "I can give life or bring death"

[TheAsianMission]

Does everybody know the answer to the riddle?

[NycteLius]

Thanks...I was like "I want to now the meaning of this great song!"and, finally,I know what the lyrics mean...Looking for a long time...Thanks... The AsianMission rocks!!! Thanks for all the eng subs to some really great songs...and, yes, Epik High has some of the most meaningful lyrics on the "market of the world"!

[KissedInuyasha]

Wow...thank you so much. I could tell the lyrics were riddle-like but I couldn't grasp it. I feel bad for not understanding till now...

[nanaki254]

i love this song..as well as breakdown...and the future...and Decalcomanie...and 당신의 조각들 ...and other songs off the new album =3
