[English]

Someone calls my name

Wake me up

Oh, a new revolution

Problems sticking to my eyelids

So tell me how you want it

A smile that lost everything here

Break it up, break it up

Shatter it all

Hold me tight, hold me tight

Seeking answers

A new world

Drawing it

Charge forward

Don’t worry, no

Blow up the old moon

I’ve got a brand new full one

Nobody, I do

Dark days, chaotic nights

Swallow to break free

Nothing can stop me, nobody

Let me say that one more time

Open the door of darkness

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Navigate the maze

Trust your instincts, run now

Open the eye of the storm

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Anywhere is free, now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

A whole new paradigm

Spotlight shining through the shadows

I was blinded, lost in the distance like 0.0

Moving forward, can’t stop, motivation

An unstoppable urge to race, killing the pace

I’m confident now, no one can stop me

Just keep moving forward, see the light and it’s bright

Yeah, we go, rush

Wash away past trauma

Let’s get out of here quickly

I’m a glitch in space

Dark days, chaotic nights

Swallow to break free

Nothing can stop me, nobody

Let me say that one more time

Open the door of darkness

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Navigate the maze

Trust your instincts, run now

Open the eye of the storm

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Anywhere is free, now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

Once again

If you imagine a bright, perfect future

It will come true, everyone

Thinking it’s impossible is useless

I keep wanting more and more

Run by instinct

Bidding farewell to darkness

Creating light

Revolutionary

To the world we desire

Open the door of darkness

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Navigate the maze

Trust your instincts, run now

Open the eye of the storm

A whole new paradigm, a whole new paradigm

Anywhere is free, now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

A whole new paradigm

[Korean]

Someone calls my name

Wake me up

Oh new revolution

눈꺼풀에 달라붙는 Problems

So tell me how you want it

여기서 다 잃은 Smile

Break it up, break it up

부숴버려 전부

Hold me tight, hold me tight

탐구하는 회답

신세계

그려가

덤비지

Don’t worry, no

Blow up the old moon

I got a new one full

Nobody, I do

어둠의 낮 혼란의 밤

벗어나기 위해 삼켜

나를 막을 수 없어 Nobody

Let me say that one more time

열어 어둠의 문

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

헤쳐 나가 미로

직감을 믿어 지금 달려

태풍의 눈을 열어

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

어디서든 자유 Now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

Whole new Paradigm

그림자 사이에 비추는 Spotlight 번쩍

눈이 멀었어 거리감 마치 Like 0.0

앞으로 나아가 멈추지 못해 Motivation

P없는 질주본능 killing pace

확신해 이제 나를 막지 못해

전진만 See the light and it’s bright

Yeah we go, rush

트라우마의 과거 Wash

빨리 벗어나자 Swish

I'm a 공간 속의 glitch

어둠의 낮 혼란의 밤

벗어나기 위해 삼켜

나를 막을 수 없어 Nobody

Let me say that one more time

열어 어둠의 문

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

헤쳐 나가 미로

직감을 믿어 지금 달려

태풍의 눈을 열어

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

어디서든 자유 Now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

Once again

Bright 완벽한 미래 그리면

그게 이루어져 모두

불가능하단 생각은 소용없어

I keep want more and more

직감대로 달려

어둠과의 결별

빛을 창조

Revolutionary

원하는 세계로

열어 어둠의 문

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

헤쳐 나가 미로

직감을 믿어 지금 달려

태풍의 눈을 열어

Whole new Paradigm, whole new Paradigm

어디서든 자유 Now we feel it

Even devils call me up, I don’t cheat

Whole new Paradigm
