[English]

Distant daylight unfolds right in front of me

An unknown new land shines bright

Rough glory engraved all over my body

Scars from healed bloodstains, just right

Hotly digging in, we do it every day together

Got your nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane, my heart pounding like it's about to burst

Drive me to the edge of the cliff, real life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Lights, camera, action

Make a video

Thoroughly recorded along my path ahead

We keep doing it over and over again

Breakin’ through the pain

Take a step forward

Ain’t no limit

I need no finish ay ay

Rough echoes

Wake me up ay ay

Revive me

Revive me ay ay

My instincts

Driving the force ay ay

Distant daylight unfolds right in front of me

An unknown new land shines bright

Rough glory engraved all over my body

Scars from healed bloodstains, just right

Hotly digging in, we do it every day together

Got your nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane, my heart pounding like it's about to burst

Drive me to the edge of the cliff, real life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Rush to the future

Gotta giddy up

Calluses have formed

And it’s glorious

Utopia spread out beyond

Every cell in me pushes onward

It’s so vivid

The meaning of my life ay ay

On this rugged path

We tryna fit in ay ay

Revive me

Revive me ay ay

Strangely

Familiar fight ay ay

Distant daylight unfolds right in front of me

An unknown new land shines bright

Rough glory engraved all over my body

Scars from healed bloodstains, just right

Hotly digging in, we do it every day together

Got your nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane, my heart pounding like it's about to burst

Drive me to the edge of the cliff, real life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

[Korean]

아득해 눈앞에 펼친 daylight

미지의 새로운 땅이 빛나

온몸에 각인된 거친 영광

날이 샌 핏자국 흉터 just right

뜨겁게 파고들어 우린 매일 같이

Got ur nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane 터질 듯이 뛰어댈 심장

벼랑 끝에 나를 몰아붙여 real life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Lights camera action

Make a video

빠짐 없이 기록될 나의 길 위로

우린 계속해서 몇 번이고

Breakin’ through the pain

발을 내디뎌

Ain’t no limit

I need no finish ay ay

거친 울림이

날 일으키니 ay ay

되살아 나

되살아 나 ay ay

내 본능이

이끄는 drive ay ay

아득해 눈앞에 펼친 daylight

미지의 새로운 땅이 빛나

온몸에 각인된 거친 영광

날이 샌 핏자국 흉터 just right

뜨겁게 파고들어 우린 매일 같이

Got ur nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane 터질 듯이 뛰어댈 심장

벼랑 끝에 나를 몰아붙여 real life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Only you

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Rush to the future

Gotta giddy up

굳은 살이 배겼지

And it’s glorious

저 너머 펼쳐진 Utopia

모든 세포들이 나를 떠밀어

It’s so vivid

내 삶의 의미 ay ay

험난한 길 위

We tryna fit in ay ay

되살아 나

되살아 나 ay ay

낯선 듯이

익숙한 Fight ay ay

아득해 눈앞에 펼친 daylight

미지의 새로운 땅이 빛나

온몸에 각인된 거친 영광

날이 샌 핏자국 흉터 just right

뜨겁게 파고들어 우린 매일 같이

Got ur nails in my back just like a sharp knife

Go insane 터질 듯이 뛰어댈 심장

벼랑 끝에 나를 몰아붙여 real life

Only you
