[Felix]
시간은 달려가
shiganeun dallyeoga
Time runs
마치 내 꿈처럼 day and night
machi nae kkumcheoreom day and night
Like my dreams, day and night
잠시 내 목마를 태워
jamshi nae mokmareul taeweo
I’m carrying them on my neck
나의 추억들을 밖으로 던진다
naye chueokdeureul bakkeuro deonjinda
Throwing my memories outside
[I.N]
이건 마치 각본 없는 drama
igeon machi gakbon eomneun drama
This is like a drama without a script
생각 못 한 결말 나와
saenggak mot han gyeolmal nawa
It’s an ending you’ve never thought of
예전의 맘속을 덮었던 먼지가
yejeone mamsogeul deopeotteon meonjiga
The dust that covered my heart before
이제는 내 꿈을 짓눌러 now
ijeneun nae kkumeul jinnulleo now
Now presses down on my dreams
[Han]
Throwback 까만 밤들을 집어삼켜
Throwback kkaman bamdeureul jibeosamkyeo
Throwback, swallows up the dark night
이제는 내가 가져가는 태양의 붉은 빛이
ijeneun naega gajyeoganeun taeyange bulgeun bichi
Now I have the bright light of the sun that I took
그 담에는 차가운 새벽에
geu dameneun chagaun saebyeoge
Next, in the cold dawn, I see the lonely moon
외로이 뜬 달 보며 얼굴을 뒤덮어 심취
weroi tteun dal bomyeo eolgureul dwideopeo shimchwi
It covers my face, intoxicating me
검은 색칠하듯
geomeun saekchilhadeut
Like it’s coloring me black
머릿속에 타올라 가 가득해져
meorissoge taolla ga gadeukhaejyeo
My head is burning
물음표가 나를 탓 탓
mureumpyoga nareul tat tat
Question marks filling me up, blaming myself
이제는 보이지 않는 답을 위해서 달려
ijeneun boiji anneun dabeul wihaeseo dallyeo
Now I’m running for an answer I can’t even see
Running on my mind 하지만 속은 더 답답해
Running on my mind hajiman sogeun deo dabdabhae
Running on my mind but I’m feeling even more frustrated
이건 내 내일을 위한 격투
igeon nae naeireul wihan gyeoktu
This is a fight for my tomorrow
지금 내 상태 마치 어제의 미래를 본 듯해 yeah
jigeum nae sangtae machi eojeye miraereul bon deuthae yeah
Right now, I feel like I’ve seen the future from yesterday yeah
미소를 씩 남에게 빌빌거리며 한숨을 픽
misoreul sshik namege bilbilgeorimyeo hansumeul pik
I’m putting on a smile, letting out a sigh
지금은 오늘의 나는 날 보는 것처럼
jigeumeun oneure naneun nal boneun geotcheoreom
Feels like I’m taking a look at myself
잠깐의 고요가 휭
jamkkane goyoga hwing
A momentary silence
[Hyunjin]
걸음걸이가 느려질수록 날 부추기는 바람
georeumgeoriga neuryeojilsurok nal buchugineun baram
The slower I walk, the more the wind pushes me
Turn up with this 방랑
Turn up with this bangrang
Turn up with this wandering
잠시 동안 내게 잠든 시간을 줘
jamshi dongan naege jamdeun shiganeul jweo
Give me some time to sleep
내 삶에 더해 오답 같은 정답을 내게 show
nae salme deohae odab gateun jeongdabeul naege show
Show me an answer that’s like the wrong answer
[Lee Know]
지금 내게 보이는 것 다 거짓말이야 이건
jigeum naege boineun geot da geojitmariya igeon
What I see right now is all a lie
돌아도 같은 시간 속 머물러있어
dorado gateun shigan sok meomulleoisseo
I go around but I’m stuck in the same time
[Changbin]
시퍼런 하늘 아래 붉게 타는 우리 노래
shipeoreon haneul arae bulkge taneun uri norae
Under the blue sky, our song burns red
붉게 타는 우리 노래 앞을 막는 거친 모래바람
bulkge taneun uri norae apeul makneun geochin moraebaram
Our song burns red and the sandy wind tries to stop it
타고 날아오는 먹이 사냥하는 고래
tago naraoneun meogi sanyanghaneun gorae
Like a whale hunting for food
그렇다고 먹일 줄 수는 없어 나는 원래 그래
geureotago meogil jul suneun eopseo naneun weollae geurae
But I can’t just get eaten, that’s how I am
[Hyunjin]
여기저기 돌들이 다
yeogijeogi doldeuri da
When stones come flying from here and there
날아오면 칼로 칭칭 다 베어버린 다음
naraomyeon kallo chingching da beeobeorin daeum
I’ll cut them up with a sword
티끌로 만들어 티끌로 태산을 만들어
tikkeullo mandeureo tikkeullo taesaneul mandeureo
Turning them into pieces, making the pieces into a mountain
다 되돌려준다
da dwedollyeojunda
And giving it all back
[Changbin]
끓어 올라 주전자에 담긴 화
kkeureo olla jujeonjae damgin hwa
It’s boiling up, the anger I held
끌어 올려 거기 화에 갇힌 날
kkeureo ollyeo geogi hwae gachin nal
I’m lifting myself up from being trapped in anger
그 화가 꽃이었음 좋겠네
geu hwaga kkochieosseum jokenne
I wish that anger would bloom into a flower
불바다 말고 꽃밭 이었음 해
bulbada malgo kkotbat ieosseum hae
Instead of a sea of fire, I want to be in a bed of flowers
[Lee Know]
도로 위에 악마들이 떠들어대네
doro wie akmadeuri tteodeureodaene
Devils chattering above the highway
복잡함의 공기 중에 떠도는 내 뇌
bokjabhame gonggi junge tteodoneun nae nwe
My brain floats around the complex air
그 뇌를 낚아챈 건 높이 나는 새네
geu noereul nakkachaen geon nopi naneun saene
What saved my brain are the birds that fly high
그 새의 등 뒤에 타 나는 비행해
geu saeye deung dwie ta naneun bihaenghae
I’m riding on the back of those birds, flying
[Felix]
Imma look back
Imma look back to the future in fact
Let me examine the progress
The demons that tried to suffocate the road to success
Imma look forward into the sea
Oblivious sea I call “history”
Thunderous waves that rage
Destroying the maze of memories I wanna see
[Seungmin]
And so, should I give up
But really, can I give up
We live in a time and space, a world full of blinds
It makes me wanna give up
But then again, no I shouldn’t give up
I feel it inside, don’t wanna give up
We live in a time and space, a world full of blinds
Now I’ve had enough
Calling out for help, on this carousel
Life is like a dare or an open fair
I just wanna tell, tell the citadel
Empire, campfire
Unpile old files, set fire
Rise higher, go wild and chase my
Dream
That’s why I
[Changbin]
Never give up
Never give up
내 말을 들어 난 조금 달라
nae mareul deureo nan jogeum dalla
Listen to me, I’m different
Never give up
[I.N]
Never give up
Never give up
내일을 보고 조금 더 달려
naeireul bogo jogeum deo dallyeo
Looking at tomorrow, running a bit more
Never give up
