Lyrics & Translation
EXILE, 24karats
Clap your hands
A brilliance unlike any other becomes a legend — Here we come back
Never forgetting the初心, always staying true to our roots
Even a fleeting mistake can trip us up in this business
Haters are always talking (showing their faces), appearances are just superficial
Oh, fun parties always end quickly, like a magic hour
In this high-speed world, I catch and strike in slow motion
Oh, returning to the essence reveals a world where the light hasn't faded
That brilliance will shine forever
24, 24karats
Running freely with a golden soul, competing with overwhelming purity
The fight against sorrow is a dialogue with my own heart
Unshakable, authentic style — no one can catch up
What I lift high is
24karats
Everything is transient — people, eras, even this city
It's all up to me; I can endure the flow or go with it
Choosing to stand on the side that stirs the tide
The answer isn’t clear — that’s what life is about
The only thing I know is that even now, time ticks away silently
Moving quietly without footsteps passing by
If there’s still an uncharted stage, I can't stop
That light driving me forward is
24, 24karats
Running freely with a golden soul, competing with overwhelming purity
The fight against sorrow is a dialogue with my own heart
Unshakable, authentic style — no one can catch up
What I lift high is
24karats
This golden soul carved into my chest
Flowing endlessly
Pure blood flowing through me, 24karats
24, 24karats
24, 24karats
Running freely with a golden soul, competing with overwhelming purity
The fight against sorrow is a dialogue with my own heart
Unshakable, authentic style — no one can catch up
What I lift high is
24karats
All the people, raise your hands high
Raise your hands up
Everyone, lift your hands now
If you’re feeling us
Everyone, raise your hands up
Lift your hands up
Everyone, raise your hands now
24karats
