Begin Again 03:33
I thought that I would drown Scared to let them all down Days only changed to be so thin Wasn’t sure if I could still begin again But now we are Dancing our way out Painting with the traces of ray Along streets of Broadway Dancing our way out Painting past the bad days of grey Along streets of Broadway Couldn’t dare to drown Scared to let it fall down Grieved for how it always has been Wasn’t sure if I could still begin again But now we are Dancing our way out Painting with the traces of ray Along streets of Broadway Dancing our way out Painting past the bad days of grey Along streets of Broadway

Leave me like this Is this what you wanted? Look what you’ve done Is this what you wanted? Take what I have Is this what you wanted? Take what I gave Is this what you wanted? No more of this Is this what you wanted? No chance to trace Is this what you wanted? Lose all of me Is this what you wanted? Lose all of us Is this what you wanted? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Can’t we find another way? Why are you running away? Can’t we find another way? Why are you running away? Kill me like this Is this what you wanted? Hurt me like this Is this what you wanted? How can you breathe Is this what you wanted? How can I live Is this what you wanted? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way? Isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way, isn’t there a way?

I can’t ever easily look in the eyes Of whoever I happen to glamorize If you've ever noticed this Could you possibly take the first step, please? You already have the keys I left them for you when we met so you can seize It’s been a year, don’t you understand? This is not how I hope we would stand Take both my hands sentimentally It’s pretty clear, don’t you understand? I like your sweater, I think they are grand Take all my praises with some empathy I don’t think I really wanna iterate When I say this is what I anticipate I was hoping you have noticed this Could you possibly take the first step, please? You already have the keys I left them for you when we met so you can seize It’s been a year, don’t you understand? This is not how I hope we would stand Take both my hands sentimentally It’s pretty clear, don’t you understand I like your sweater, I think they are grand Take all my praises with some empathy It’s been a year, don’t you understand This is not how I hope we would stand Take both my hands sentimentally It’s pretty clear, don’t you understand? I like your sweater, I think they are grand Take all my praises with some empathy

In Chains 03:44
Why do you sink to this? Do you enjoy the pain? What’s there to remain? What’s there to remain? You’re building up a wall Can’t you at least explain? What’s there to gain? What’s there to gain? Making things up again, again Trap me in chains, in chains, in chains Making things up again, again Trap me in chains, in chains, in chains Why do you lose the trust? Did it go down the drain? What’s there to remain? What’s there to remain? I’m losing patience now You’re driving us insane What’s there to gain? What’s there to gain? Making things up again, again Trap me in chains, in chains, in chains Making things up again, again Trap me in chains, in chains, in chains

Haven’t done this in a while Being near around you Sharing the same view But when I wake up I seem to lose Everything Tired of waking up Can this ever be real again? Greet the sunset with a smile How we always do Nothing is new But when I wake up I can’t hold on To anything Tired of waking up Will you ever seek me again? Too bad it was all a dream How does it wash away so clean? Too bad it was all a dream Wish it would come into being Too bad it was all a dream How does it wash away so clean? Too bad it was all a dream Wish it would come into being Come into my reach Can you please? Ill at ease Come into my reach Can you please? Ill at ease Come into my reach Can you please? Ill at ease Come into my reach Can you please? Ill at ease

Limit 04:33
There’s only so much I can do I’m sure everyone feels the same way Let’s take it slow for both of us One step by step, with care and ease Don’t want to be a burden to you You should know I would like that too Let’s not test each other’s limit Be mindful, oh, don’t fall through That’s always been true, what’s new Let’s not test each other’s limit Isn’t it common courtesy A good thing we should keep to please Let’s take it slow for both of us One bit by bit, with care and ease Don’t want to be a burden to you You should know I would like that too Let’s not test each other’s limit Be mindful, oh, don’t fall through That’s always been true, what’s new Let’s not test each other’s limit Don’t want to be a burden to you You should know I would like that too Let’s not test each other’s limit Be mindful, oh, don’t fall through That’s always been true, what’s new Let’s not test each other’s limit

Only when the sun goes down I don’t stand out in this town Can’t they see that I’m not a clown? Only heaven will know Do I have to live to please? I’m scared of what they see in me Can’t I have my needed peace? ‘cause all I wish is to be free Will they ever take to heart Features that set me apart? No one sees how much this hurts Only heaven and I know Do I have to live to please? I’m scared of what they see in me Can’t I have my needed peace? ‘cause all I wish is to be free No one sees how much this hurts Only heaven and I know Do I have to live to please? I’m scared of what they see in me Can’t I have my needed peace? ‘cause all I wish is to be free Only heaven and I know

One-Sided 03:26
Are you on your way back to her embrace? You belong to her and I know my place I will stay here in case one day You start to cry at the thought of my name I won’t make it obvious I’ll stay far away and admire you the same Run along to whoever stole your heart (I will stay here) Something I could never seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) (I will stay here) Seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) I bet you talk to her about the stars Differently from how you do to me I will stay here in case one day You start to cry at the thought of my name I won’t make it obvious I’ll stay far away and admire you the same Run along to whoever stole your heart (I will stay here) Something I could never seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) (I will stay here) Seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) Run along to whoever stole your heart (I will stay here) Something I could never seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) Get enough of (I will stay here) Get a grasp of One-sided love (I will stay here) Run along to whoever stole your heart (I will stay here) Something I could never seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) (I will stay here) Seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) Run along to whoever stole your heart (I will stay here) Something I could never seem to get a hold of (I will stay here) (I will stay here) Seem to get a hold of (I will stay here)

Guess I thought that we could be like a hopeful bloom in march When we brought ourselves into each other’s arms in the dark I take it back Pathetic romantic, I am Another one of my old Quick assumptions on love That’s what you’ve become Or were you like that all along? It is very likely That I was blinded by love Quick assumptions on love Guess we thought that we would be the perfect ones for sure When we thought that music tastes were enough to melt one’s heart I take it back Pathetic romantic, I am Another one of my old Quick assumptions on love That’s what you’ve become Or were you like that all along? It is very likely That I was blinded by love Quick assumptions on love We were blinded by love Guess I thought that we could be like a hopeful bloom

Outsider 03:47
Don’t know what you hoped for But I let you down 'cause I’m nothing but an outsider Letting an outsider into your heart, I hoped that you might be different from those who looked down on me Letting an outsider into your heart, i hoped that you might be different from those who looked down on me Letting an outsider into your heart, I hoped that you might be different from those who looked down on me Letting an outsider into your heart, i hoped that you might be different from those who looked down on me

about

hello, mates! come meet me in my daydreams x
-minji

******

After the release of the first EP from January this year, The Hidden Shelf is back with the debut album, Zone Out. Over the course of 11 tracks, Minji delves into fantasies, chaos, and reflections from her daydreams through guitar and synth-driven arrangements.

With a background in piano since of young age, Minji taught herself guitar when she was 14 as she naturally resorted to music as a medium of comfort. After years of self-experimentation with songwriting, she began sharing some of her original songs online in 2017 under her own name and found herself a surprise audience as she did not share her music with most of her connections. Hoping to maintain the natural secrecy in her work, Minji resorted to adopting the moniker, The Hidden Shelf. She still chooses to not voluntarily tell her connections about her music to make the discovery of her music an intimate experience.
