    [Intro: Mark]

    Yeah, you know what time it is (Haha)

    This one's gonna be explosive!


    [Verse 1: Jeno, Renjun, Jaemin, Jisung, Haechan]

    한 번 불 붙이면 끝을 보지, 확 터져버릴 그때까지

    Han bon bul buchimyon kkeuteul boji hwak tojoboril geuttaekkaji

    Once you light a fire, you'll see the end until it explodes.


    누가 우릴 막아? Show is ready

    Nuga uril maga? Show is ready

    Who's blocking us? Show is ready


    Top floor 딛고 sky까지, we’re upgrading

    Top floor ditkko sky kkaji, we’re upgrading

    Stepping on the top floor, towards the sky, we're upgrading


    불꽃이 튀는 순간 시작되는 countdown

    Bulkkochi twineun sungan sijakttweneun countdown

    The moment the flame bursts, the countdown begins


    완벽히 잠들었던 이 공간을 깨 흔들어

    Wanbyoki jamdeurottton i gongganeul kkae heundeuro

    Shaking up the space where I completely fell asleep


    느껴져 closely, 더 헐거워진 (Hey) 안전핀, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Neukkyojo closely, do holgowojin (Hey) anjonpin, yeah, yeah, yeah

    I can feel it, closer, loose (Hey) safety pin, yeah, yeah, yeah


    꽉 묶인, 난 control freak,

    KKwak mukkin nan control freak,

    I tightly tie it up, I'm a control freak,


    풀린 그 순간, yeah, yeah, yeah

    pulrin geu sungan yeah, yeah, yeah

    The moment it's released, yeah, yeah


    꿈결 속에 아른대던 장면들이

    Kkumgyol soge areundaedon jangmyondeuri

    The scenes that I was dreaming of


    불길처럼 눈앞에 확 번질 테니, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

    Bulgilchorom nunape hwak bonjil teni, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

    It'll spread like a fire in front of your eyes, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh


    [Pre-Chorus: Chenle, Renjun, All]

    일 초가 일 분 같던 찰나가 영원 같던

    Il choga il bun gattton chalraga yongwon gattton

    Every second felt like a minute, but every second felt like eternity.

    까맣게 애태운 그 시간을 지나

    Kkamake aetaeun geu siganeul jina

    After that time that I was struggling with,

    터질 듯 달아올라 난 지금

    Tojil deut daraolra nan jigeum

    It's so hot that I'm about to explode

    We the bomb 'bout to blow, 불 붙여봐

    We the bomb 'bout to blow, bul buchobwa

    We the bomb 'bout to blow, light it up


    [Chorus: All, Jeno, Jisung, Chenle]

    We might explode, 갇혔던 꿈

    We might explode, gachottton kkum

    We might explode, this trapped dream


    타올라 더, my mind go boom

    Taolra do, my mind go boom

    Burn it up more, my mind go boom


    Our time goes, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick


    Ayy, ayy, 더 뜨거워 (터질 듯 뜨거워)

    Ayy, ayy, do tteugowo tojil deut tteugowo

    Ayy, ayy, it's hotter (as if it's going to explode)


    Now we're so d[i][//i]angerous

    Yeah, we’re so d[i][//i]angerous (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)


    [Verse 2: Jisung, Mark]

    Yeah, you know, you know, you know, 뭘 고민해

    Yeah, you know, you know, you know, mwol gominhae

    Yeah, you know, you know, you know, what are you thinking about?


    이미 멈출 수 없는 playing

    Imi momchul su omneun playing

    I can't stop playing already


    파편이 되어 빗발친, something like thrill, ooh-ooh-ooh

    Papyoni dweo bitppalchin, something like thrill, ooh-ooh-ooh

    Shrapnel and rain, something like thrill, ooh-ooh-ooh


    What's crazy?


    부서진 cage 치솟는 gauge, we are so crazy now
    Busojin cage, chisonneun gauge, we are so crazy now

    A broken cage, a soaring gauge, we are so crazy now


    이건 마치 화염 위로 쏟아진 missile

    Igon machi hwayom wiro ssodajin missile

    It's like a missile pouring over the flame


    아무리 터뜨리고 태워내도 끝없는 기분

    Amuri totteurigo taewonaedo kkeudomneun gibun

    No matter how much I explode and burn it, it feels endless.


    [Pre-Chorus: Haechan, Chenle, All]

    반응한 맘을 따라 무너진 너의 fire line

    Baneunghan mameul ttara munojin noe, fire line

    Your fire line that collapsed along with your responsive heart


    걷잡을 수도 없이 번져온 순간

    Gotjjabeul sudo opssi bonjoon sungan

    The moment it spreads out of control


    더 이상 물러설 곳은 없어

    Do isang mulrosol goseun opsso

    There's no place to back dow anymoren.


    Wе the bomb 'bout to blow, 불 태워봐

    Wе the bomb 'bout to blow, bul taewobwa

    Wе the bomb 'bout to blow, let's burn it.


    [Chorus: All, Haechan, Chenle, Mark, Renjun, Jaemin]

    We might explode, 갇혔던 꿈 (갇혔던 꿈)

    We might explode, gachottton kkum (gachottton kkum)

    We might explode,this trapped dream (trapped dream)


    타올라 더, my mind go boom (My mind go boom, ooh-ooh-ooh)

    Taolra do, my mind go boom (My mind go boom, ooh-ooh-ooh)

    Burn it up more, my mind go boom (My mind go boom, ooh-ooh-ooh)


    Our time goes, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick


    Ayy, ayy, 더 뜨거워 (Keep on ticking of my heartbeat, babe)

    Ayy, ayy, do tteugowo (Keep on ticking of my heartbeat, babe)

    Ayy, ayy, it's hotter (Keep on ticking of my heartbeat, babe)


    터질 듯 뜨거워 (Now we're so danger–)

    Tojil deut tteugowo (Now we're so danger-)

    It's so hot that it's about to explode.


    [Bridge: Renjun, Haechan, Chenle, Jeno]

    이 순간을 기억해 (기억해, eh-eh)

    I sunganeul giokae (giokae, eh-eh)

    Remember this moment (Remember, eh-eh)


    초침 소릴 들어 봐, 뛰는 심장 속에 들이쳐

    Chochim soril deuro bwa ttwineun simjang soge deurichyo

    Listen to the sound of the second hand, it hits my beating heart


    요동치는 저 시간 끝에서

    Yodongchineun jo sigan kkeuteso

    At the end of that fluctuating time,


    우린 충돌할지 몰라, 공초가 된 그 순간

    Urin chungdolhaljji molra gongchoga dwen geu sungan

    We might collide, the moment when the second goes zero


    (Get it down, get it down, get it down, get it down, down, down)


    [Verse 3: Jaemin, Mark, Jeno]

    빠르게 바뀌는 빨간 numbers on the board

    Ppareuge bakkwineun ppalgan numbers on the board

    The ed numbers on the board are changing rapidly


    공이 되는 순간엔, 어쩔 수 없는걸

    Gongi dweneun sunganen ojjol su omneungol

    As soon as it becomes a ball, there's nothing I can do.


    I've been waiting for this time, 터져버릴 듯한

    I've been waiting for this time, tojoboril deutan

    I've been waiting for this time, as if it's going to explode


    마음 이 정도면 오래도 참았어, tick-tock

    Maeum i jongdomyon oraedo chamasso, tick-tock

    I've held it in for a long time, tick-tock


    Tick-tick-tick-tock, everybody get down


    뒤로 빠져 휩싸여, 위험해 진짜로

    Dwiro ppajo hwipssayo wihomhae jinjjaro

    It's so d[i][//i]angerous. Really.


    Tick-tick-tick-tock, four, three, two, one


    끝나버린 countdown, drop a bomb on you, baby, oh

    Kkeunnaborin kauntodaun countdown, drop a bomb on you, baby, oh

    Count down that's over, countdown, drop a bomb on you, baby, oh


    [Chorus: All, Renjun, Jisung, Haechan, Jeno, Chenle]

    We'll all explode (Hey), 바로 지금 (바로 지금)

    We'll all explode (Hey), baro jigeum (baro jigeum)

    We'll all explode (Hey), right now (right now)


    터질수록 커지는 꿈 (터질수록, our time goes)

    Tojilsurok kojineun kkum (tojilsurok, our time goes)

    A dream that grows as it explodes (the more it explodes, our time goes)


    Our time goes, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick (Tick, tick, tick, woo, it's our time, it goes)


    내 안의 날 깨워 (Woah-oh-oh-oh)

    Nae ane nal kkaewo (Woah-oh-oh-oh)

    Wake me up inside(Woah-oh-oh-oh)


    Now we're so d[i][//i]angerous (Woah, oh, oh) (Woah, woah, ooh-yeah)
