Verse

Tightening bolts until the sun goes down

해가 질 때까지 볼트를 조이고 있어

I find a calcium spiral in the sand

모래 속에서 칼슘 소용돌이를 찾아냈지

Logic circuits cannot name this strange curved form

논리 회로로는 이 낯선 굽은 형태를 설명 못 해

The engineer would call it only waste

엔지니어는 그저 폐기물이라 말하겠지

Chorus

White calcium dream from the deep salt water

깊은 소금물에서 온 하얀 칼슘의 꿈

It is a secret kept under metal ribs

금속 갈비뼈 아래 숨겨둔 비밀이야

White calcium dream from the deep salt water

깊은 소금물에서 온 하얀 칼슘의 꿈

Something beautiful that I do not need

나에게는 필요 없는 아름다운 무언가

Verse

Yet I hide the pearl-white casing in my chest

하지만 진주빛 껍데기를 가슴 속에 숨겨

Oil smears against the smooth and calcified ridges

기름때가 매끄러운 석회질 능선에 묻어나네

I hear a sound clearer than radio signals

무선 통신보다 더 선명한 소리가 들려

Chorus

White calcium dream from the deep salt water

깊은 소금물에서 온 하얀 칼슘의 꿈

It is a secret kept under metal ribs

금속 갈비뼈 아래 숨겨둔 비밀이야

White calcium dream from the deep salt water

깊은 소금물에서 온 하얀 칼슘의 꿈

Something beautiful that I do not need

나에게는 필요 없는 아름다운 무언가

Bridge

My sensors fail to map the ocean floor

내 센서는 바다 밑바닥을 그리지 못해

The ghost of a wave lives in this shell

파도의 유령이 이 껍데기 안에 살아

System warns of an unidentified error within me

시스템은 내 안의 미확인 오류를 경고해

Only the sea's song that words cannot convey

말로는 전할 수 없는 바다의 노래일 뿐

Chorus

It is a secret kept under metal ribs

금속 갈비뼈 아래 숨겨둔 비밀이야

Something beautiful that I do not need

나에게는 필요 없는 아름다운 무언가
