[English]

The time is now “fix on”

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

Hold on, they can't do it like this

Can't even fill one concert like this

Match your level first then speak

Don't carelessly use the ATEEZ name tag

Don't get mad at me

Know your limits and copy next time

Once I load, I shoot

This is like an Invasion

Even big corporations follow this Vision

Screams that exceed decibels

The crowd chant tears up the venue

Drivers don't struggle, the stadium is paralyzed because of us

It's pointless to weigh by concert size

Half-baked critics and scholars, disappear down there

Cowards pretending to be tough fall like dominoes

Forget 'post-idol', bring dollars to Korea

Praise posts are fine, keep that a secret

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

They’re such a problem

[Korean]

The time is now “fix on”

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

잠깐, 쟤네는 못 해 이렇게

공연 한 번 못 채워 이렇게

급이나 맞추고 말해

함부로 쓰지 마 ATEEZ name tag

화내지 마 나한테

분수를 알고 카피해 다음에는

일단 장전하면 난 쏘고

이건 마치 Invasion

대기업도 따라 하는 Vision

데시벨을 초과하는 비명

떼창은 공연장을 찢어

기사님 고생하지 우리 때문에 스타디움은 마비

쓸데없잖아 공연 크기로 저울질을 하기엔

어쭙잖은 평론가 선비들은 사라져 저 밑으로

센 척하는 겁쟁이들은 쓰러져 Like 도미노

탈아이돌은 개뿔 달러나 가지고 와 한국으로

찬양 글은 좋아 그건 비밀로

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

They’re such a problem

They’re pure satire

They’re stuck in drama

They’re fake but viral

They’re such a problem

Key Grammar Structures

• 잠깐, 쟤네는 못 해 이렇게

  ➔ Adverb of Manner (이렇게)

  ➔ The adverb "이렇게" indicates the manner or way something is done. In this case, it means "like this" or "in this way," implying that the group being referred to cannot perform in the same way as ATEEZ.

• 공연 한 번 못 채워 이렇게

  ➔ 못 (Negation Adverb) + verb

  ➔ "못 채워" means "cannot fill/complete". '못' is used to express inability or impossibility to perform an action.

• 급이나 맞추고 말해

  ➔ -고 (Connective Ending indicating sequence)

  ➔ '-고' connects two actions performed sequentially: "match your level first, and then speak."

• 함부로 쓰지 마 ATEEZ name tag

  ➔ -지 마라 (Prohibition)

  ➔ "-지 마" (shortened from -지 마라) is used to prohibit an action: "Don't use the ATEEZ name tag carelessly."

• 분수를 알고 카피해 다음에는

  ➔ -(으)세요 (Honorific imperative)

  ➔ While it's not directly visible, it's implied. The sentence carries a force of command or suggestion, but is a bit informal. A more polite version would be "분수를 아시고 카피하세요 다음에는". Using a normal form with -아/어, -해 can sound rude depending on the context and who you are talking to.

• 일단 장전하면 난 쏘고

  ➔ -(으)면 (Conditional Ending)

  ➔ -(으)면 indicates a condition: "If I load (my weapon), I shoot."

• 쓸데없잖아 공연 크기로 저울질을 하기엔

  ➔ "-잖아" implies that the speaker believes the listener already knows or should know something. "It's useless to weigh things by concert size, *you know*?"
