[Pre-Chorus] Floating on core of an universe Makes me wish for your response...hello? more than ever [Chorus] 너는 또 다시 그 눈빛을 무한히 쏟아 내 물음에 이 가난한 마음에 다다를즈음 달아날세라 담아 Now close your eyes What can you see? Don’t close your mind It’s not fantasy All I have wanted To be your star To be your star [Pre-Chorus] Floating on top of your heart make me hazy Makes it easier to forget Sorting a lot of datas Takes me further Don’t you ever Feel like nature? [Verse 2] No one can hurt you babe I’m all in and u can lean on I’m not a liar My guess is you are a kind of a loner Like Giant Lion [Chorus] 너는 또 다시 그 눈빛을 무한히 쏟아 내 물음에 이 가난한 마음에 다다를즈음 달아날세라 담아 Now close your eyes What can you see? Don’t close your mind It’s not fantasy All I have wanted To be your star To be your star (Be your memory) [Chorus] 너는 또 다시 그 눈빛을 무한히 쏟아 내 물음에 이 가난한 마음에 다다를즈음 달아날세라 담아 Now close your eyes What can you see?

Dark Quasar 04:13
Dark Quasar [Verse 1] It seems we’ve come far I see you losing all your energy I wanna say You’ve made this far There’s no way back In your sorrow I see all reflection of your insecurity Borrow all my agility and prophecy bae Leave it all behind Leave it all yeah [Verse 3] Tell me you want me to be by your side Don’t let go of your hope That’s your fuel Show me all your fear It widens my love Now put your brave face on I will lead [Chorus] Hold me tight Dark Quasar We are falling, falling I wish I was your night sky See you levitate Oh babe I’ve never been this high Don’t let go of your hope Don’t let go of your heart I’ll do anything to make you bright I got you on my way Meet me at the apex [Verse 4]
 Since you have orbited the blue star Tell me a tale of your genesis Although myself is totally from different time We have something in common Like knowing the concept of love and hate Like wanting the alchemy of a fate Tell me you want me to be by your side Don’t let go of your hope That is your fuel [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] Hold me tight Dark Quasar We are falling falling I wish I was your night sky See you levitate Oh babe I’ve never been this high Don’t let go of your hope Don’t let of of your love I’ll do anything to make you bright I got you on my way Meet me at the apex You and I Meet me at the You and I Meet me at the You and I levitate Hold me tight Dark Quasar Show me all your fear Orbiting a blue star It widens my love Falling falling We're finally fading Orbiting a blue star (Your fuel) I know a place You’ve never been From above It agitates, like love and hate

Melody 04:13
Melody [Verse 1] 아련히 별을 노래하는 마음으로 겹겹이 음을 쌓아올려 하나의 하모니 All this time I’ve been looking for the spark you left I choose to make my own And hope you’d get it by telepathy [Chorus] Let me love you like a melody Easy in polyphony A company when you’re alone It hurts to be the one that got away away Fade away carry me away I’m your harmony When you’re alone [Verse 2] 오늘 밤이 널 흔들리게 하듯이 영원히 네 모습은 꿈엔들 아지랑이 호르몬이 달빛에 반응 하는지 기억들이 날 가만 두지 않아 오 내 맘이 hallucinate Let me love you like a melody Easy in polyphony A company when you’re alone It hurts to be the one that got away away Fade away carry me away I’m your harmony When you’re alone [Outro] 호르몬이 달빛에 반응 하는지 기억들이 날 가만 두지 않아 오 내 맘이 hallucinate

about

With her new full-length album ‘ION’, CIFIKA continues to tell her stories through vivid imagery and otherworldly metaphors, filtering the duality of human emotion through science and fantasy. “‘ION’ portrays the double-sided nature of emotion— how the joy of being with a lover can turn into the fear of losing them, or how sadness can be the force that brings you to a future moment of triumph,” she says.

Immersed in the lore of constellations and the laws of physics, CIFIKA employs astrological imagery to portray the volatility of love throughout ‘ION.’ Scenes from the cosmos, as well as images of molecules and atoms constantly float around in her head while she conceptualizes her songs, she explains. “Things are always moving, disappearing, expanding, exploding.” Her dynamic production mirrors these themes of entropy and agitation, a sweetly sung melody all but conceals the muted yelling of a metal singer on “Giant Lion,” while whispered vocals suddenly erupt into a cacophony of synth and drums on “Hush.” While embracing catchy hooks and dance rhythms, CIFIKA is making electronic music that isn’t too pretentious to acknowledge pop.

As with her past works, the world of ‘ION’ is a world of CIFIKA’s creation, where she is impervious to judgment and free of limitations. But although ‘ION’ depicts aspirations of boundless resilience, its realizations remain firmly rooted in reality.
