[English]

Wavy blue sky, close my eyes and deep dive

This upside-down world (world)

Got my head in the clouds, it's too loud down there

Let the noise just fade away

Wanna let go, feel the tempo

Find me within a steady rhythm

Irregular in the chaos

A clearly ringing BPM (BPM)

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Me-me-me-me-me-me-metronome-nome-nome, it got me

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Me-me-me-me-me-me-metronome-nome-nome, it got me

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

My pulse is racing, keeping up with the fast beat

Already pushed past the limit, limit, limit

Got me losing my breath to the music in my heart

Let it spin again and again

Wanna let go, feel the tempo

Find me within a steady rhythm

Irregular in the chaos

A clearly ringing BPM (BPM)

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Me-me-me-me-me-me-metronome-nome-nome, it got me

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Me-me-me-me-me-me-metronome-nome-nome, it got me

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

Move your body like me, my mind grows calm

생각은 그만 I'ma lose my mind, lose my mind (oh)

Side to side, it's like we've become one

Dancing in the spotlight (spotlight, spotlight), (metronome-nome-nome, it got me)

Nome-nome-nome, it got me

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

...

[Korean]

파도치는 blue sky, 눈을 감고 deep dive

뒤집혀진 이 세상 (세상)

Got my head in the clouds, 저 아래는 too loud

Let the noise just fade away

Wanna let go, feel the tempo

날 찾아 일정한 리듬 속에

불규칙한 in the chaos

선명하게 울리는 BPM (BPM)

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Me-me-me-me-me-me-metronome-nome-nome, it got me

Mo-mo-mo-mo-moving side to side, side, side, like a

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

It got me moving like a metronome

크게 뛰는 my pulse, 빠른 박자에 맞춰

한계치를 이미 넘어, 넘어, 넘어

Got me losing my breath to the music in my heart

Let it spin again and again

Wanna let go, feel the tempo

날 찾아 일정한 리듬 속에

불규칙한 in the chaos

Dancing in the spotlight (spotlight, spotlight), (metronome-nome-nome, it got me)

Nome-nome-nome, it got me

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome

Music takes control

It got me moving like a metronome
