Original Korean lyrics written by Hyung English lyrics adapted by Hyung with AI assistance Conceived & Produced by Hyung (Space&Time Music) Music directed by Hyung, generated with Suno AI © 2026 Space&Time Music 🎧 *보이는 게 전부는 아니야 | 불진즉공 (不眞卽空) | Not What It Seems* 분명히 보이는데, 정말 존재하는 걸까? 붙잡을 수 없다고 해서 존재하지 않는 걸까? 우리는 세상에 이름을 붙이고, 나타나는 모든 것이 그 이름 그대로 존재한다고 믿습니다. 그러나 이름은 실체가 아니며, 모든 것은 수많은 조건과 인연에 의해 나타납니다. 이 곡 **〈불진즉공(不眞卽空)〉은 중국 불교 사상가 승조(僧肇)의 『조론(肇論)』 제2론 「부진공론(不眞空論)」에 기초하여 가사를 쓴 재즈 힙합**입니다. 「부진공론」은 만물이 나타나지만 독립적이고 고정된 실체로 존재하는 것은 아니며, 그렇다고 아무것도 존재하지 않는다는 뜻도 아니라고 말합니다. 공(空)은 모든 것이 사라진 뒤에 남는 허무가 아닙니다. 나타나는 바로 그 자리에서, 그 어떤 것도 스스로 존재하지 않는다는 통찰입니다. 따뜻한 재즈 피아노, 묵직한 붐뱁 비트, 멜로디컬한 힙합 보컬을 통해 존재와 비존재, 이름과 실재, 나타남과 공의 역설을 노래합니다. *“있는 것도 아니야, 없는 것도 아니야. 나타나는 모든 것은 본래 공한 거야.”* --- 🎧 *Not What It Seems | Philosophical Jazz Hip-Hop* We see the world, but is everything we see truly real? We give things names, draw boundaries, and believe that what appears must possess an independent existence. Yet everything arises through conditions, and nothing stands entirely on its own. *The lyrics of “Not What It Seems (不眞卽空)” are inspired by and based on “Buzhen Kong Lun” (不眞空論, Treatise on the Emptiness of the Unreal), the second treatise of the Zhao Lun (肇論), written by the Buddhist philosopher Sengzhao (僧肇).* Drawing on the Buddhist philosophy of emptiness (*Śūnyatā*), the song explores the paradox of existence and nonexistence. Emptiness is not nothingness. It does not mean that the world must disappear. Things appear, yet no thing possesses a fixed, independent essence. Blending soulful jazz harmonies, warm piano, deep boom-bap rhythms, and melodic hip-hop vocals, this song transforms an ancient philosophical insight into a contemporary musical experience. *“Not truly real, yet here to see. Nothing stands alone, and nothing needs to cease to be.”* --- 2. 영어 가사 전체 (English Lyrics) Not What It Seems 불진즉공 (不眞卽空) Can you see it? It's right before your eyes. Can you hold it? It slips away each time you try. A thousand shapes before my eyes, A thousand names beneath the skies. Call it real — but what is there? Call it nothing — still it's everywhere. One little name, a million ties, Take it away — where's the truth that lies? Seems to be, seems to fade, Nothing stands alone in the world we've made. If it truly stood, it'd stand alone, But nothing grows from itself alone. If it weren't here, what would we see? A thousand forms in a changing sea. 욕언기유(欲言其有), 유비진생(有非眞生) 욕언기무(欲言其無), 사상기형(事象既形) Call it real, but it never rose alone, Call it nothing, yet its face is shown. **Neither here nor truly gone, Neither darkness nor the dawn. All the things that come to be, Empty of a self to see.** Just because it slips away, Doesn't mean it fades to gray. Right before us, here and now, 불진즉공(不眞卽空), 불진즉공(不眞卽空) You call you "you," I call me "me," We draw the lines of what we see. This is this, and that is that, We chase the truth behind the mask. But a name is not a thing, Not the truth the words can bring. 명불당실(名不當實), 실불당명(實不當名) Names can't hold what they claim to mean. Look at the moon upon the lake, It shines in every wave we make. You see its glow, but is it there? Just a reflection, bright and fair. Did the moonlight never shine? Was that beauty just a sign? What appears, and what is true? What is left when names fall through? 제법가호불진(諸法假號不眞) 비여환화인(譬如幻化人) Names are borrowed, come and go, Forms arise as conditions flow. **Neither here nor truly gone, Neither darkness nor the dawn. All the things that come to be, Empty of a self to see.** Just because it slips away, Doesn't mean it fades to gray. Right before us, here and now, 불진즉공(不眞卽空), 불진즉공(不眞卽空) Emptiness is not a blackened sky, Not a world where every form must die. You don't need to clear the scene, No fixed essence has ever been. 즉만물지자허(即萬物之自虛) 불가허이허물야(不假虛而虛物也) No need to search some distant shore, No need to close an open door. Right where everything appears, Nothing to escape, nothing to fear. Neither real nor simply gone, Beyond the words we lean upon. Beyond the lines of you and me, All appears so naturally. Don't go chasing what you see, Don't throw away what seems to be. Emptiness is nowhere else, 불진즉공(不眞卽空), 불진즉공(不眞卽空) 도원호재(道遠乎哉), 촉사이진(觸事而眞) Is the Way so far away? Or in the things we meet today? What we see appears in sight, What we hear resounds tonight. Nothing holds a fixed design, Yet appearances still shine. 불진즉공(不眞卽空) 불진즉공(不眞卽空) #SongsOfNonduality #Nonduali #철학힙합 #JazzHipHop #조론 #승조 #부진공론 #불교철학 #공사상 #중관사상 #재즈힙합 #감성힙합 #PhilosophicalHipHop #BuddhistPhilosophy #Emptiness #Sunyata #Sengzhao #ZhaoLun #BoomBap #MelodicHipHop #ConsciousHipHop #NotWhatItSeems
