Lyrics & Translation
Fed up with turnarounds, tired of it
Examining the world's unfairness
Dancing on the trap's edge
Building our legacy
Unfazed by the times
Are you with us so far?
Take it back, even that spit
Carving out every night and day
Making impossible things possible, lighting up the way
Take it back, embrace even the past
It's like a museum of our own stories
(Build it up, build it up and then break it down)
I want to prove the truth
A stage no one’s ever reached before
Moves nobody can imitate
Always above imagination
A瞬間 explosion
Unfazed by anything, come what may
We will never lose
An uncharted era’s monument
Souls that change freely at will
A team whose strength is its imperfections
Shining brightest when gathered together
My pace, our synergy
(Build it up, build it up and then break it down)
I want to prove the truth
A stage no one’s ever reached before
Moves nobody can imitate
Always above imagination
A瞬間 explosion
Unfazed by anything, come what may
We will never lose
An uncharted era’s monument
From 10 guests to a decade of time
Over 10 million, a billion
Resonating on a cosmic scale
Never stopping its uniqueness
