Stars scattered without a dose
Just like chocolate sprinkling the toast
Lights as decors, radiance to the earth
Green as land, blue as sea, where you and I converged
-
Patching our love story, where we unite
With the beauty of Milky Way
Black sky as the background
Your sparkling eyes gleam to
Chorus:
My heart pounds, my gut full of lovely butterflies (it’s all because of you)
The stars shine, the black sky becomes more brilliant (my only one is you)
The planets knock my door and wake me up on the peaceful night
Reminding me to ease off and everything will be alright
-
The Earth revolves around the Sun
The Sun sends effulgence to tons
My foolish self keeps leading to you
The heaven gives rebirth to Venus
The only word that describes you is
Beautiful
-
Making more memories with you
Milky Way, give me a clue
The planets whisper me words
Curious of my secrets?
(Your big hint is)
Chorus:
My heart pounds, my gut full of lovely butterflies (I’m going to tell you)
The stars shine, the black sky becomes more brilliant (that I really love you)
The planets knock my door and wake me up on the peaceful night
Reminding me to ease off and everything will be alright
-
The invisible stars remain mysteries
Unfolded, far away
The voice of your heart remains secrecy
My tears and feelings roll down the slant
And I
-
I can’t contain the excitement
Electricity runs through my veins, moving my fingers
‘You and I’
Has changed to ‘us’
After the heavy rain
The sky is now cloudless
-
The dazzling night view
Cosmic rays swathing me and you
Happiness is an understatement
The planets urge me to hug you in an instant
I love you

This song is sung by a guy's point of view. He wanted to propose a girl he'd met and he recalled everything from the beginning: when they first met, they started to make their stories and memories together, and how he felt like whenever he was with the girl. And at the end, the girl accepted his proposal.
At first, I made this song lyrics to be sung with Sungha Jung's composition titled 'The Milky Way'. I wanted to try to actually make real song lyrics that could be sung with music.
However, after I showed this to my sister and my dad, they both told me that this couldn't be a final product. Not because of the literacy, but because of the beat.
As the original composition is played by guitar, it's pretty hard for me to recognize which beat that I could use in order to fit in the lyrics and sing them. The beat doesn't work out really well if you want to make song lyrics from there.
For most of the parts, I tried to follow the beat of the song. But towards the ending part, I couldn't recognize the beat that people could sing to. So, the ending part is more like a poem because you can't really sing it if you only followed the original composition (instead of making your own melody to sing).
As the original composition's title is 'The Milky Way', I tried to make a connection between the guy's love story with the Milky Way and astronomy-related things. The Earth, the Sun, Venus, the cosmic rays, and the stars aren't there coincidentally.
Another point in this lyrics is that they fell in love inside the Milky Way (because how else humans fall in love beside inside the Earth and Milky Way?). This explains about so many things about the black sky, the stars, and the planets.
We would usually call the planets in our Solar System and Milky Way as the Earth's neighbors. So, as a comparison in this lyrics, the planets were the guy's friends who helped him throughout the process of him falling in love and propose the girl. While the stars were more like representing the girl, with her gleaming eyes and mysterious personality.
For me personally, my favorite part is during the chorus, where it goes:
The planets knock my door and wake me up on the peaceful night
Reminding me to ease off and everything will be alright
I feel like the mentioned part above has a lot of meanings, such as how the planets knock 'my' door and remind 'me' to ease off. It's just how friendship usually works: whenever you need someone to help you calm down from nervousness, your friends would always be there for you.
In my style of writing, I unconsciously use a lot of metaphors. I just think that they're really artistic and can be cute at some points.
I actually still have a lot of explanations about my first original lyrics for every lines. However, it's kind of hard for me to break them down after they're all tangled inside my mind.

Oh, and also, another thing: do check out Sungha Jung's compositions on Youtube here. This is purely not a promotion or anything, I just really like his songs, and that's where I decided to write this original song lyrics. If you eventually could work out the beat that I've used when I wrote this song lyrics, try to sing along too! ;)
A little message to Sungha Jung:
정성하 오빠, 나는 팬 입니다.
나는 너의 작품 너무 좋아요.
정성하 오빠 화이팅!
(Pardon my broken Korean because I only learn from analyzing and watching shows, and the dictionary. If you know something I wrote was gramatically wrong in Korean, just remind me right away so that I can fix it!)
Thank you! :3
