On one side,
He makes you face a letdown,
but over there,
He will light a lamp!
A missed bus,
the pluses and minuses—
God has got
His own calculations!
First He makes you look,
then He makes you like it.
After making you like it,
He makes you smile.
When the smiling is over,
He makes you hate it.
But there is always alcohol to turn to!
All the time,
in sorrow and longing,
crying and complaining,
don't live your life like that!
With bitterness inside,
every single day
if you wake up,
your BP will shoot up, man!
He is just doing His duty,
so at God
do not go
and shout curses!
Stirring up pain
inside your heart,
you've got to chase that parrot away, man!
{Shoot the parrot, man!
Shoot the parrot, man!
Take a gun
and shoot that parrot, man!
To forget the past,
to bury the pain,
right now,
shoot the parrot, man!} (2)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Shoot The Kili' from the dark comedy film Jil Jung Juk is a quirky, philosophical track about overcoming regret, sorrow, and obsessive internal thoughts. The song uses 'kili' (parrot) as a metaphor for the repetitive, painful thoughts and memories lingering in one's mind. It advises the listener not to blame God for the ups and downs of life, as life is governed by balance (plus and minus). Instead of dwelling in sadness and raising one's blood pressure, the song urges the listener to metaphorically 'shoot the parrot'—to immediately eliminate painful past memories and move forward with life.
