Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I can't tell left from right

This feels like a maze

Try again no matter how many times

Nobody can stop us

Everyday keeps on repeating it’s annoying

Fleeting days feels like a mirror image

Are you gonna let it repeat again?

For now, come dance with me, Oh yeah

This city wants some noise, Oh yeah,

we hope for a brighter day

A rose blooming in a gray city

will wake the whole world

Let’s keep it loud, want some more

Let’s shout it out, want some more

Clench your fist and shake the world

I can't tell left from right

This feels like a maze

Try again no matter how many times

Nobody can stop us

Raise your voice Louder Scream Louder

Don’t be scared and let go, I’m NOT OKAY now

Roar Louder, raise both your hands

and shout

You know that I'm NOT OKAY

I'm NOT OKAY in a crisis, in the worst kind of situation

Move away, Move away, I’m at my limit, I can’t stand being at someone else's beck and call

I feel sick from holding back too much

It’s impossible, Show me Desire

Turn it over now Drop it, pow, keep going

Ye break it down, my senses are numb

We go high, jump up to the ceiling

Be it Hiphop, Pop, Rock Surrender yourself to the sounds you feel

The excited Type, Gonna make a fuss

Let’s keep it loud, want some more

Let’s shout it out, want some more

Clench your fist and shake the world

I can't tell left from right

This feels like a maze

Try again no matter how many times

Nobody can stop us

Raise your voice Louder Scream Louder

Don’t be scared and let go, I’m NOT OKAY now

Roar Louder, raise both your hands

and shout

You know that I'm NOT OKAY

Like a rising wave

An echoing sound

that shakes the world

Run, like you’re aiming for the ends of the earth

Shout, as if your life burns away

This is the moment

when everything changes and begins

I can't tell left from right

This feels like a maze

Try again no matter how many times

Nobody can stop us

Louder, Roar that I’m NOT OKAY

Raise your voice and scream some more

Louder, Roar that I’m NOT OKAY

Raise your voice and scream some more
