NOT OKAY
Lyrics:
[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
