[English]

All targets are aimed at you, wounds being struck without me

I can tell even if I don’t say a word (Hold on, hold on)

(Eh-oh) Without any expression, as if you're already used to it

(I'm knockin' door, yeah, now I'm knockin' door)

Can't escape, but I know

Hold up (yeah), I'm a geek, the big paradox

Easily thinking, you're a killer protecting yourself

At the end of hell, everyone prays the same

Lock your mouth tight, freeze up

Pointless gazes, questions spinning around (Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Guilt already doesn’t exist for them

An insufferable feeling that pierces deep

I can't hold back, I do it for you

A night deepened by dark clouds

Drop thunder, hold it tight

I’ll lock the door, BOCA

...

Where is the love?

With words like thorns (Ooh)

If they hurt you (Ooh)

Keep BOCA closed

(Ah, yah) Yeah, closing your eyes, you're suffocating

Uh, run away far away, uh, if only you’d take a step back

Nothing changes, it doesn’t change, it’s obvious now, no

Uh, get the key, I'll set you free

Stop hiding now, play hide and seek

Come closer, more, come on now

Lock the door, lock the door

An insufferable feeling that pierces deep

I can’t hold back, I do this for you

What blows in is rough wind

Drop thunder, hold it tight

I’ll lock the door, BOCA

...

Where is the love?

With words like thorns (Ooh)

If they hurt you (Ooh)

Keep BOCA closed

Why fill precious moments with hatred?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Too many angels are dying now

I'm gonna change your mind

So you can breathe again (No, whoa)

Where is the love? (Ooh)

With words like thorns (Ooh)

If they hurt you (Ooh)

Keep BOCA closed

...

[Korean]

모든 타겟은 널 향해 있어, 날 없이 베이는 상처

말 안 해도 알 수 있어 (Hold on, hold on)

(Eh-oh) 아무런 표정도 없이 넌 이미 익숙하단 듯이

(I'm knockin' door, yeah, now I'm knockin' door)

벗어나지 못해 but I know

Hold up (yeah), I'm a geek, the big paradox

쉽게 생각하면 널 지키는 killer

지옥 끝에선 다 하나같이 빌어

입을 걸어 잠가 freeze up

이유 없는 시선 꼬릴 무는 question (Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh)

죄의식은 이미 그들에게 없어

막을 수 없이 사무치는 맘

참지 못해 더 나 너를 위해서

먹구름에 싸인 깊어지는 밤

내려쳐라 thunder, drop thunder 굳게

걸어 잠글게 BOCA

Where is the love?

가시 같은 그 말로 (Ooh)

널 아프게 한다면 (Ooh)

열지 못하게 BOCA

(Ah, yah) Yeah 눈 감아 숨 막혀 넌

Uh 도망쳐 먼발치 넌 uh 뒷걸음만 쳤다면

거기서 변하지 변하지 않아 뻔하지 뻔하지 no

Uh, get the key, I'll set you free

너 이제 그만둬 숨바꼭질

바짝 따라와 more 더 come on now

Lock the door, lock the door

막을 수 없이 사무치는 맘

참지 못해 더 나 너를 위해서

불어오는 건 거친 바람과

내려쳐라 thunder, drop thunder 굳게

걸어 잠글게 BOCA

Where is the love?

가시 같은 그 말로 (Ooh)

널 아프게 한다면 (Ooh)

열지 못하게

소중한 시간들을 왜 증오로 채우는가?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Too many angels dying now

I'm gonna change your mind

다시 숨 쉴 수 있게 (No, whoa)

Where is the love? (Ooh)

가시 같은 그 말로 (Ooh)

널 아프게 한다면 (Ooh)

열지 못하게 BOCA
