I wrote this song about what life was like in South Korea during the 1998 IMF financial crisis. [Verse 1] News keeps saying, “yeah it’s coming down” Something from the stars, now we’re losing ground Shaking in the dark, yeah I feel the sound Heartbeat ticking like a countdown When I was young they said it’s the end Saw it in my face, I was breaking then Dad just looked the same, no bend I was screaming out — got hit again People hanging on to numbers tight Debt tomorrow, praying hope tonight Not the sky — it’s real life first Scared that planet’s gonna strike us first [Pre-Chorus] Planet getting close, shadow at the door Every time it shows, someone’s gone for sure Friends disappearing one by one When’s that planet gonna swallow us up? Every single day I was shook with fear [Chorus] Planet on me, planet on me Still I hear it call my name Planet on me, planet on me I ain’t running now, no way Crashing on me, crashing on me Pulling me deeper, calling louder Crashing on me, crashing on me I won’t run now — not ever [Verse 2] Grown-ups see a shooting star All I see’s a ball of fire Kids make wishes standing there I’m just looking for somewhere to hide Voices getting loud again Every time I’m shrinking in Behind my door, hands on ears Close my eyes till the shadow disappears When’s that planet touching down? Wake up to the smallest sound Every night that shadow falls Covers up my house and all [Bridge] When’s that planet gonna strike us now? Wake up shaking at the slightest sound Every day that shadow spreads Over my roof, over my head [Final Chorus] Planet on me, planet on me Still it’s calling out my name Planet on me, planet on me Now I face it wide awake Crashing on me, crashing on me Calling louder than before Crashing on me, crashing on me I won’t run now anymoremore
