[English]

Can you hear my voice?

I'll set you free

If you want to know

Follow me, then you'll see

Today I lose everything that's been taken from me again.

I'm forgetting things one by one, even simple facts.

Got no one to blame, but I know that you're in pain

I'm drowning in illusion, tied to falsehoods (mmh, fix on)

I sink into a futile space and keep stumbling (ayy)

A deceitful desire will devour me (ayy)

Going back, like a mad person, my feelings glitch.

The deeper it seeps in, my eyes will swoop down like a hawk, ayy

Oh, a breath that has lost its rhythm (lost rhythm)

Oh, a soul that has lost its path

In your subconscious that feels me

My voice echoes, spreading, yeah

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (know it, know it)

Look into my eyes, your eyes (oh-oh-oh)

Let me take you there, even once (whoa-oh-oh)

To a place you've never seen (oh-oh-oh)

So wake up (wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (time to wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (wake up)

Open your closed eyes, wake up from the hypnosis

You can feel me, yes (I know it)

Get entranced, losing all other thoughts

Thus, without resistance, you're swung back and forth

When rain finally falls in this dried-out, barren drought

Only then will you realize who you are—or aren't (oh)

Falling out (yo)

The beauty within chaos

La‑di‑down (hey)

The self’s dissonance (eh)

Within the fading sensations

I know it's confusing

Reality's borders get mixed (yeah)

I'll stir your heart and wake you up

Oh, a breath that has lost its rhythm (lost rhythm)

Oh, a soul that has lost its path

In your subconscious that feels me

My voice echoes, spreading, yeah

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (know it, know it)

Look into my eyes, your eyes (oh-oh-oh)

Let me take you there, even once (whoa-oh-oh)

A place you've never seen (oh)

So wake up (wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (time to wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (wake up)

Open your closed eyes, wake up from the hypnosis

Now let it out

Awaken your senses

In the darkness, within the maze

I won't leave you

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (oh)

Face my gaze, your eyes

Let me take you there, even once (oh)

A place you've never seen, so wake up

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it

Face my gaze, your eyes

Let me take you there, once

A place you've never seen, so wake up

...

[Korean]

Do you hear my voice?

I'll set you free

If you wanna know

Follow me, then you'll see

뺏겨버린 모든 것 잃어가지 오늘도

하나둘씩 잊어가 잃어 간단 사실도

Got no one to blame, but I know that you're in pain

허상에 잠겨, 거짓에 묶여 (mmh, fix on)

헛된 공간에 빠져 더 허우적대 (ayy)

거짓된 욕망이 집어삼킬걸 (ayy)

돌아가 미친 듯 돌아가 기분이 에러

깊이 스며들수록 눈이 득달같이 달려들 거야, ayy

Oh, 템포를 잃은 호흡 (템포를 잃은 호흡)

Oh, 길을 잃은 soul

나를 느끼는 (느끼는) 너의 무의식에 (무의식에)

울려 퍼져 내 목소리, yeah

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (know it, know it)

마주해 내 눈에, your eyes (oh-oh-oh)

Let me take you there, 한 번도 (whoa-oh-oh)

본 적 없는 곳 (oh-oh-oh)

So wake up (wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (time to wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (wake up)

감은 눈을 떠, 최면 속에서 wake up

You can feel me, yes (I know it)

홀려버려 다른 생각 잃어버리게

그렇게 저항 없이 이리저리 휘둘리게 돼

마르고 닳았던 이 가뭄 속에 비를 내릴 때

비로소 넌 네가 누군지 아닌지 알게 될 테니 (oh)

Falling out (yo)

혼돈 속 아름다움

La-di-down (hey)

자아의 불협화음 (eh)

잃어가는 감각 속에

혼란스러운 걸 알아

현실의 경계는 뒤섞여 (yeah)

네 맘을 흔들어 널 깨워주겠어

Oh, 템포를 잃은 호흡 (템포를 잃은 호흡)

Oh, 길을 잃은 soul

나를 느끼는 (느끼는) 너의 무의식에 (무의식에)

울려 퍼져 내 목소리, yeah

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (know it, know it)

마주해 내 눈에, your eyes (oh-oh-oh)

Let me take you there, 한 번도 (whoa-oh-oh)

본 적 없는 곳 (oh-oh-oh)

So wake up (wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (time to wake up)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (wake up)

감은 눈을 떠, 최면 속에서 wake up

풀어내 이제

감각을 깨워

어둠 속에서, 미로 속에서

너를 두지 않을게

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it (oh)

마주해 내 눈에, your eyes

Let me take you there, 한 번도 (oh)

본 적 없는 곳, so wake up

Hey, you can hear my voice, I know it

마주해 내 눈에, your eyes

Let me take you there, 한 번도

본 적 없는 곳, so wake up
