What It Sounds Like Lyrics (English)

[Rumi]
Nothing but the truth now
Nothing but the proof of what I am
The worst of what I came from, patterns I’m ashamed of
Things that even I don’t understand
I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it
My head was twisted, my heart divided
My lies all collided
I don’t know why I didn’t trust you to be on my side

[Rumi, Zoey, & Mira]
I broke into a million pieces, and I can’t go back
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
I should’ve let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
The song we couldn’t write, this is what it sounds like

[Rumi]
We’re shattering the silence, we’re rising defiant
Shouting in the quiet, you’re not alone
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
But none of us are out here on our own
So, we were cowards, so, we were liars
So, we’re not heroes, we’re still survivors
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I’m tired
But dive in the fire and I’ll be right here by your side
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
But now we’re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like

[All]
This is what it sounds like
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
This is what it sounds like
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
This is what it sounds like
(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey
Oh, this is what it- , this is what it-
This is what it sounds like

[Rumi]
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
But now I’m seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what’s underneath, I’ll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like
Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like
Truth after all this time, our voices all combined
When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like

[Rumi]
이제는 진실뿐이야
내가 누구인지 증명뿐이야
내가 온 곳의 가장 나쁜 것들, 부끄러운 패턴들
나조차 이해하지 못하는 것들
고치려 했고, 싸우려 했어
머리는 꼬여 있었고, 마음은 둘로 갈라졌어
내 거짓말들이 전부 부딪혔어
왜 네가 내 편일 거라는 걸 믿지 못했는지 모르겠어

[Rumi, Zoey, & Mira]
난 수백만 조각으로 부서졌고, 돌아갈 수 없어
하지만 이제는 부서진 유리 속 아름다움을 보고 있어
상처는 내 일부야, 어둠과 조화야
거짓 없는 내 목소리, 이게 바로 그 소리야
왜 내 머릿속에 갇힌 색깔들을 덮어버렸을까?
날카로운 모서리가 빛을 만나게 했어야 했는데
그 속을 보여줘, 네 조화를 찾을게
우리가 쓰지 못한 노래, 이게 바로 그 소리야

[Rumi]
우린 침묵을 깨뜨리고, 당당히 일어서
고요 속에서 외쳐, 넌 혼자가 아니야
우린 악마들의 소리를 들었고, 그들이 우리 사이에 끼어들게 했어
하지만 우리 중 누구도 혼자가 아니야
그래, 우린 겁쟁이였어, 그래, 우린 거짓말쟁이였어
그래, 우린 영웅은 아니야, 하지만 아직 살아남았어
꿈꾸는 자들, 싸우는 자들, 거짓은 없어, 난 지쳤어
하지만 불 속으로 뛰어들어, 난 네 곁에 있을 거야
우린 수백만 조각으로 부서졌고, 돌아갈 수 없어
하지만 이제는 부서진 유리 속 아름다움을 보고 있어
상처는 내 일부야, 어둠과 조화야
거짓 없는 내 목소리, 이게 바로 그 소리야
왜 우리 머릿속에 갇힌 색깔들을 덮어버렸을까?
일어나서 날카로운 모서리가 빛을 만나게 해
그 속을 보여줘, 네 조화를 찾을게
두려움 없고 정의되지 않은, 이게 바로 그 소리야

[All]
이게 바로 그 소리야
(오, 오, 오) 헤이, 헤이
이게 바로 그 소리야
(오, 오, 오) 헤이, 헤이
이게 바로 그 소리야
(오, 오, 오) 헤이, 헤이
오, 이게 바로-, 이게 바로-
이게 바로 그 소리야

[Rumi]
우린 수백만 조각으로 부서졌고, 돌아갈 수 없어
하지만 이제는 부서진 유리 속 아름다움을 보고 있어
상처는 내 일부야, 어둠과 조화야
거짓 없는 내 목소리, 이게 바로 그 소리야
왜 우리 머릿속에 갇힌 색깔들을 덮어버렸을까?
일어나서 날카로운 모서리가 빛을 만나게 해
그 속을 보여줘, 네 조화를 찾을게
두려움 없고 정의되지 않은, 이게 바로 그 소리야
거짓 없는 내 목소리, 이게 바로 그 소리야
두려움 없고 정의되지 않은, 이게 바로 그 소리야
이 모든 시간 끝에 찾아온 진실, 우리의 목소리가 합쳐져
어둠이 빛을 만날 때, 이게 바로 그 소리야
