Grammar
어느 쪽으로 가야 할까 / 미로 속에 갇힌 듯이 / 멍하니 걷고 있어
Which manner ought to I am going? / As if I’m caught in a maze / I’m strolling absent-mindedly
Connect this construction to a verb stem to imply “must/ought to [verb].” 가야 하다, which makes use of the verb 가다 (to go), imply “ought to go” or “must go.”
On this case, this construction is principally used the identical manner we’d use “I’m wondering…” in English. 어느 쪽으로 가야 할까? basically means “I’m wondering which manner I ought to go?”
When connected to a verb stem, this implies “as if [verb]” prior to now tense. 갇히다 means “to be confined” or “to be locked up” or “to be trapped.” So, 갇힌 듯이 means “as if I used to be trapped,” or “like I’m trapped.” I consider the rationale why it technically makes use of the previous tense type is as a result of the speaker has already been locked up, if that is sensible!
Attaching this to a verb stem provides you the present-progressive type, which is equal to the English -ing. 걷고 있다, subsequently, means “strolling.”

This construction is used to ask oblique questions. 어디로 가야 하는지 한번쯤은 묻고 싶어 is an instance–it doesn’t imply “the place ought to I am going?” however “I wish to ask you the place I ought to go.” 어디로 가야 하는지 means “the place I ought to go.”
Connect this construction to a verb stem to imply “wish to [verb].”
우리 사랑은 나 혼자 a method / 계속 가고 있잖아
Our love is a method for me alone / I’m nonetheless going
Connect this to a verb or adjective stem to provide it a nuance of “you already know…” It’s used to level out one thing that the listener does or ought to already know. 계속 걷고 있잖아, subsequently, has the nuance of “I’m nonetheless strolling, you already know.”
