[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)

[Outro: All, Haechan, Jisung, Renjun]

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

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