[English]

I'm like some kind of Supernova

Watch out

Look at me go

Gonna have some fun

Core of light

So hot hot

The door is opening

Feeling each other's presence

Like Discord

You look like me, who are you?

(Drop)

An incident is coming, Ah Oh Ay

Growing stronger, Ah Oh Ay

That tick that tick tick bomb

That tick that tick tick bomb

You can't dare to touch it

(No one can)

Right now, inside me

Su su su Supernova

Nova

Can't stop hyperstellar

Searching for the origin

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I summoned

Supernova

Ah Body bang

Make it feel too right

Swept away energy, it's so special

A cruel Queen, a scene, and the end

This enormous explosion inside me

All my cells are made from stars

(Under my control Ah)

The questions keep coming, Ah Oh Ay

Where did we come from, Oh Ay

Feeling it inside me

Su su su Supernova

Nova

Can't stop hyperstellar

Searching for the origin

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I summoned

Supernova

With an invisible power

Should I reach out my hand to you?

Every possibility possible

Meet you in infinity

It's about to bang bang

Don't forget my name

Su su su Supernova

An incident is coming, Ah Oh Ay

Growing stronger, Ah Oh Ay

The questions keep coming, Ah Oh Ay

Where did we come from, Oh Ay

An incident is coming, Ah Oh Ay

Growing stronger, 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

Searching for the origin

Bring the light of a dying star

Look at the universe I summoned

Supernova

An incident is coming, Ah Oh Ay

(Nu star)

Growing stronger, Ah Oh Ay

The questions keep coming, Ah Oh Ay

(Nova)

Where did we come from, Oh Ay

An incident is coming, Ah Oh Ay

Growing stronger, Ah Oh Ay

The questions keep coming, Ah Oh Ay

(Nova)

Bring the light of a dying star

빛의 Core

So hot hot

문이 열려

서로의 존재를 느껴

마치 Discord

날 닮은 너 너 누구야

(Drop)

사건은 다가와 Ah Oh Ay

거세게 커져가 Ah Oh Ay

That tick that tick tick bomb

That tick that tick tick bomb

감히 건드리지 못할 걸
