[English]

I’ve come quite far now

Never look back, why am I here with no plan?

The end isn’t what matters, this is my Destiny

Louder than the rain

We run beyond the darkness

Ooh, the blue in the ashes

I’m betting it all on me

Roll the dice, double down

One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power, woo

Defying the chosen fate

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I’m hurt, I’ll risk it all

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Reflected in chaos

Close those eyes

After shouting the world’s answer

Born Savage

Do you crave it?

Open your eyes

After shouting the world’s answer

Born Savage

Walking through long nights every day

Blooming those wounds in the darkness

Through long nights every day

Awakening those wounds I’ve bloomed

I’ve already arrived, make it rain, thumbs up

Those meaningless complaints

The more they talk, the clearer my vision and goal

Hold on tight

Never wavered, even on high cliffs

Walking a path that’s not easy, man, I’m breakin’ the wall

We run beyond the darkness

Ooh, the blue in the ashes

I’m betting it all on me

Roll the dice, double down

One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power, woo

Defying the chosen fate

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I’m hurt, I’ll risk it all

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Yeah, we’re goin’ straight to the top

This is the chance, no time to hesitate

Burn it up, keep up the fire

Instinct wakes me up, Savage

Yeah, we’re goin’ straight to the top

This is the chance, no time to hesitate

You can’t deny it, because I’m true

I was born savage

Unlock the power, woo

Defying the chosen fate

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I’m hurt, I’ll risk it all

Energetic

Keep it manic

I’m never falling down

Reflected in chaos

Close those eyes

After shouting the world’s answer

Born Savage

Do you crave it?

Open your eyes

After shouting the world’s answer

Born Savage

[Korean]

제법 멀리 와 버렸지

Never look back 왜 여긴 대책도 없이

끝이 중요한 게 아냐 이건 나의 Destiny

Louder than the rain

We run beyond the darkness

Ooh 잿더미의 blue

I'm betting it all on me

Roll the dice 두 배로

One touch, One rush, Headed for the bloom

Unlock the power woo

선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러

Energetic

Keep it manic

I'm never falling down

Woo 다친대도 내 전부를 걸겠어

Energetic

Keep it manic

I'm never falling down

혼돈에 비친

그 눈을 감아

세상의 답을 외친 다음

Born Savage

갈망하는가

두 눈을 떠봐

세상의 답을 외친 다음

Born Savage

긴 밤을 걸어 매일

암흑 속에 그 상처들을 피워

긴 밤을 지나 매일

피워냈던 그 상처들을 깨워

이미 다다랐지, Make it rain, Thumbs up

의미 없는 그 원성

지껄일수록 확실해지는 Vision & 목표

Hold on tight

흔들린 적 없지 높은 절벽

쉽지 않을 길을 걸어 Man I'm breakin' the wall

We run beyond the darkness

Ooh 잿더미의 blue

I'm betting it all on me

Roll the dice 두 배로

One touch, One rush, Headed for the bloom

기회야 No time to hesitate

Burn it up keep up the fire

본능이 날 깨워 Savage

Yeah we goin' straight to the top

기회야 No time to hesitate

부정할 수 없지 넌 Because I'm true

I was born savage

Unlock the power woo

선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러

Key Grammar Structures

• 제법 멀리 와 버렸지

  ➔ Past tense with implied subject and '버리다' indicating completion/result.

  ➔ The sentence uses the past tense ending '-었지' to indicate that the speaker has come a long way. The verb '오다' (to come) is combined with '버리다' to emphasize the completion of the action and the distance traveled. The '지' ending adds a conversational tone, almost like a self-acknowledgement. The subject 'I' is omitted, common in Korean.

• 갈망하는가

  ➔ Interrogative form using '-는가', a formal question ending.

  ➔ This is a direct question asking 'Do you desire?' or 'Do you long for?'. The '-는가' ending is a more formal and literary way to ask a question compared to '-니' or '-어/아요?'. It creates a more dramatic and rhetorical effect.

• 선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러

  ➔ Use of the object marker '을/를' and the verb '거슬르다' (to go against, to resist).

  ➔ This phrase means 'to go against the destiny that was chosen'. '선택을' uses the object marker '을' to indicate that '선택' (choice) is the object of the verb '받다' (to receive) which is implied. '운명' (destiny) is then the object of '거슬르다' (to go against).
