Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ooh, ooh

Take me into your depths

I want to lose myself in your world

I wanna lay in your world

So what if things get messy?

I’m walking my own path, flaws and all

We can stay up all night

Don’t close your eyes

Don’t be afraid of the light

All night

If you want to let your instincts take over

Baby, we can just be ourselves

Savor every moment until you’re completely satisfied

If you want, you can have everything

Buried deep within the sand

There are creatures who’ve made their own space

Please, say something, I’m begging you

There’s beauty in letting go of control

Oh, we can stay up all night

We can stay up all night

Yeah, we should stay up all night

All night

If you want to let your instincts take over

Baby, we can just be ourselves

Savor every moment until you’re completely satisfied

If you want, you can have everything

I’ve found you in the wild, so far away

With your sharp instincts and fierce spirit

Now you see a world full of free souls

None of us can be tamed, none of us can be tamed

(Ooh) a wild heart (ooh), untamable

(Ooh) go (take it all, ooh) and take it all

If you want to let your instincts take over

Baby, we can just be ourselves

Savor every moment until you’re completely satisfied

If you want, you can have everything

[Korean]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Take me into your deep

I wanna lay in your world

So what? Your shadow's a mess

I'm walking with my own dirt

We can go all night

Don't you close your eyes?

Don't you fear the light?

All night

If you wanna be animals

Baby, we can be animals

Eat this life 'til your heart is full ('til your heart is full)

If you want, you can have it all (you can have it all, oh)

Six feet down in the sand

There's creatures that made a hole

Do speak, I'm beggin' you, please

There's beauty outside control (outside control)

Oh, we can go all night (go all night)

We can go all night (we can go all night)

Yeah, we should go all night

All night

If you wanna be animals

Baby, we can be animals

Eat this life 'til your heart is full ('til your heart is full)

If you want, you can have it all (you can have it all, oh)

Got you in the wild, somewhere so far

With your claws sharp and them fangs out

Now you see a whole land full of animals

None of us are tameable, none of us are tameable

(Ooh) heart (ooh) untameable

(Ooh) go (take it all, ooh) and take it all

If you wanna be animals

Baby, we can be animals

Eat this life 'til your heart is full (heart untameable)

If you want, you can have it all (go and take it all, oh)

Key Grammar Structures

• Take me into your deep

  ➔ Imperative mood, prepositional phrase as adverbial of place

  ➔ The sentence uses the imperative mood to directly command someone to 'take' the speaker. 'Your deep' functions as the destination, modified by the preposition 'into'.

• I wanna lay in your world

  ➔ Contraction of 'want to', infinitive phrase as object complement

  ➔ The phrase 'wanna' is a common contraction of 'want to'. 'Lay in your world' uses the infinitive 'lay' to express a desire to rest or exist within someone else's sphere of influence.

• Do speak, I'm beggin' you, please

  ➔ Auxiliary verb 'do' for emphasis, present continuous implied in 'beggin'', vocative case ('you')

  ➔ The use of 'do' before 'speak' adds emphasis to the request. 'Beggin'' is a shortened form of 'begging', implying a continuous action. 'Please' is an interjection expressing politeness, and 'you' is in the vocative case, directly addressing the listener.
