Zion.T - Storyteller

From heartmoving ballads, to beautiful R&B sounds, to hype hiphop tracks, to funny funky beats, to classy jazzy sounds, Zion.T swerves through music genres seamlessly, gifting them all with his unique touch, making it easy to recognize his songs even after only one time of hearing his voice.

But here I am not only to praise the sound, but also the lyrics. Taking a look at his songs I am always moved by his words and the way he sings them, almost as really having a conversation with you, each of the songs telling one story, sometimes about himself, or perhaps about someone he met, maybe a fantastic story about a quirky character, or perhaps he even tells your story or my story. So I wanted to share some of my favourite stories and lyrics of his beautiful discography ♡

Love doesn't come around easily

It shouldn't be said so easily

In that moment, when you are about to leave

I won't hold on, I'll just say it like this

Say it wasn't real

Looking back at your love story. It has already ended, even though your love hasn't, the lingering feelings and the regret are still present, even though you are trying to tell yourself otherwise.

Lyrics are in the MV ♡ / live

Miss Kim, I still

think of you today

Miss Kim ah, Miss Kim ah

I can't fall back to sleep

because of you

I don't know why I imagine Miss Kim as a cool femme fatale who drives all the people around her insane by his beauty and personality haha.

At such times, take out this song

Enjoy it like a piece of chocolate

Make sure you eat your meals even if you're tired

Then I'll compliment you later

I feel the song is about those times when you are so worn out by your daily struggles that you even forget to eat... well Zion.T is here to tell you to eat because taking care of yourself is the most important thing, and you are loved, this song will remind you that ♡

I go to a cafe and listen to the same old songs

I only hear what I want to hear

I'm excited, my heart beats fast

Her pretty voice excites me

I just want to sing thinking of you

Just a cliché love story (portrayed by Zion.T), followed by just the same goodbye story (portrayed by Crush), that you never think you will be singing about but you end up doing it.

Let's be happy

Let us be happy

Let's not get sick

Not get sick

Right?

I feel this song is about when you grow older, and you start to understand your parents better, the struggles they go through, and even if you were mad or sad because of them at one point, at the end you love your family and you'll do anything for all of you to live happily.

My complex

I'm complex than the magazine

I hate me more than you hate me

A story about all the complexes he has and how he wish he was someone else, only to be antagonized by G-Dragon, full of confidence and stating that a complex only exist because you made it to be. And that he is happy and proud of who he is.

I'd rather leave like this

Would it feel like this in a coffin?

Good job looking through my pockets

I hear well even in my sleep

The absolutely fascinating world of your deepest slumber where everything is possible and the strangest stories can happen, and even you don't know if it's a dream because it feels real, even though you somehow know you are sleeping.

I wish white snow would be outside tomorrow

Then I'll make you a warm cup of tea

Just keep staying by my side

Promise me

When you lose a person close and dear to you, they always remain with you, even through the mundane things like thinking about what to have next morning for breakfast or talking about the weather, their presence accompanies you through your life, the longing feeling never really dissappears.
