[English]

Three, two, one

Mirror tune, mirror tune

Three, two, one

Mirror tune, mirror tune

Three, two, one

Struggling not to lose in this fight

Knowledge makes me tremble

Repeating inner conflicts

Teach me more

Uncertain ambiguous unknowns

Things I fight for

I wonder when it started, this solo hold

Cunningness over care makes me feel unrefined

It’s not graceful

In moments where I can hardly handle things

What I want to believe in

Of course, problems are piling up (yeah)

I feel sleepy as soon as I get home

In this place where I can't go anywhere

The night keeps shining all along (yeah)

Mystical mirror tune, yeah

Without you, nothing begins

I'll connect us, let’s smile

No matter how tough the situation, I get stuck

Stubborn me

Seems annoying and stubborn about giving up

Still want to stay humble, yeah

My heart won’t stop beating, it won’t shake

...

Hey, let me take control and enjoy the lead

Feel the excitement, it’s a good deal for both of us

I’ll choose a bright relationship from now on

Things I want to spend my time on

A clear scene with transformation mode fully on

Listened to the disk again and again

My admiration surely surpasses, more and more

Let’s prioritize the heart pounding feelings

Because there are limits

Of course, I won’t back down (yeah)

I want to be liked more

Daring and playful, a bit risky (yeah)

Can doubt my conviction

That’s a space tune of dreams

Without you, nothing begins

I’ll connect us, let’s smile

No matter how tough the situation, I get stuck

Stubborn me

Seems annoying and stubborn about giving up

Still want to stay humble, yeah

My heart won’t stop beating, it won’t shake

...

The narrow gap of a melting moon, its poison

Afraid of bittersweet bonds

Uncharted worlds are unstable with contradictions

It’s just a fake display of strength

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Without you, nothing begins

I’ll sing for you, Gachi Four

No matter how tough the situation, it flies by

Stubborn me

Seems annoying and stubborn about giving up

I still want to reach the quarterfinals, yeah

My heart won’t be stained, it remains unshaken

...
