[English]

I’m like some kind of Supernova

Watch out

Look at me go

Let’s have some fun

Core of light

So hot hot

The door opens

Sensing each other’s presence

Like a discord

You who resemble me, who are you?

(Drop)

The incident approaches Ah Oh Ay

Fiercely growing Ah Oh Ay

That tick that tick tick bomb

That tick that tick tick bomb

You dare not touch this

(No one can)

Now within me

Su su su Supernova

Nova

Can’t stop hyperstellar

Seeking the primal source

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I’ve summoned

Supernova

Ah Body bang

Make it feel too right

The swirling energy, it’s so special

A cruel Queen, the Scene, and the finale

An explosion within me this immense

Every cell of me is crafted from stars

(Under my control Ah)

Questions keep coming Ah Oh Ay

Where did we come from Oh Ay

Feel it within me

Su su su Supernova

Nova

Can’t stop hyperstellar

Seeking the primal source

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I’ve summoned

Supernova

With an invisible force

Shall I reach out to you?

All possible possibilities

Meeting you in infinity

It’s about to bang bang

Don’t forget my name

Su su su Supernova

The incident approaches Ah Oh Ay

Fiercely growing Ah Oh Ay

Questions keep coming Ah Oh Ay

Where did we come from Oh Ay

The incident approaches Ah Oh Ay

Fiercely growing Ah Oh Ay

Tell me, tell me, tell me Oh Ay

Where did we come from Oh Ay

Where did we come from Oh Ay

Nova

Can’t stop hyperstellar

Seeking the primal source

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I’ve summoned

Supernova

The incident approaches Ah Oh Ay

Fiercely growing Ah Oh Ay

Questions keep coming Ah Oh Ay

Where did we come from Oh Ay

The incident approaches Ah Oh Ay

Fiercely growing Ah Oh Ay

Questions keep coming Ah Oh Ay

문이 열려

서로의 존재를 느껴
