[English]

Set it free

Swing around

Whatever

You and I

Magic dancing in the field

Set it free

Swing around

Whatever

You and I

Damned hedonism

I love how your eyes are colored by whatever feeling reaches them

We'll meet somewhere on the border between good and evil

Time will tear us apart

Hold on, don't waver

Let's run let's run

Give me a higher thrill

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me an addictive craving

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Escapade

Escapade

Set it free

Let it die

Every night

You and I

Romancing in the clouds

On a night of falling tears, the umbrella is useless

After we toss it away, shall we dance together?

It feels like we're standing on the brink of a cliff, dizzy

Could you please take even my inexplicable headache away?

Time will tear us apart

Hold on, don't waver

Let's run let's run

Give me a higher thrill

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me an addictive craving

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Escapade

Escapade

No we collide

We, entangled together

Will we fall dazzlingly?

I'll rip out my heart

Take your shot

Countin' 1,2

This game we are playing never ends

I'll rip out my heart

Take your shot

Countin' 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2

Shoot

Give me a higher thrill

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me an addictive craving

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

We have to run even harder, enough to make the world jealous of you

Not everlasting, we're perfect—it's our escapade

...

[Korean]

Set it free

Swing around

퍽이나

너와 나

Magic dancing in the field

Set it free

Swing around

퍽이나

너와 나

빌어먹을 쾌락주의

느낌이 닿는 대로 색칠한 니 눈빛이 좋아

선악의 경계선 그쯤에서 우린 만날 거야

Time will tear us apart

Hold on 흔들리지 마

Let's run let's run

Give me 좀 더 높은 떨림

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me 중독적인 결핍

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Escapade

Escapade

Set it free

Let it die

매일 밤

너와 나

Romancing in the clouds

눈물이 내린 밤 우산 따윈

버린 다음 너와 춤을 춰볼까

우린 어지러울 만큼 벼랑 끝에 서 있는 듯해

내 이유 모를 두통까지 제발 가져가 줄래

Time will tear us apart

Hold on 흔들리지 마

Let's run let's run

Give me 좀 더 높은 떨림

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me 중독적인 결핍

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Escapade

Escapade

No we collide

엉켜있는 너와 내가

눈부시게 추락할까

I'll rip out my heart

Take your shot

Countin' 1,2

This game we are playing never ends

I'll rip out my heart

Take your shot

Countin' 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2

Shoot

Give me 좀 더 높은 떨림

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

Give me 중독적인 결핍

Toxic bad fit

And I like it we are mad

세상이 널 질투할 만큼 우린 더 뛰어야만 해

영원하지 않을, 우린 완벽해 it's our escapade

Key Grammar Structures

• Set it free

  ➔ Imperative mood – a command or request.

  ➔ The verb "Set" is in the **imperative** form, telling someone to release something.

• Hold on 흔들리지 마

  ➔ Combination of English imperative and Korean negative imperative "-지 마".

  ➔ "마" is the Korean **negative imperative** ending meaning "don't"; together it means "Don't shake".

• Let's run let's run

  ➔ First‑person plural suggestion using "let's" (let us).

  ➔ "Let's" is a contraction of **let us**, used to propose an action that includes the speaker and the listener.

• Give me 좀 더 높은 떨림

  ➔ Imperative request + Korean comparative phrase "좀 더" (a little more).

  ➔ "좀 더" means **"a little more"**; it modifies the noun "높은 떨림" (higher thrill).

• Time will tear us apart

  ➔ Future simple with modal "will" indicating certainty.

  ➔ "will" + base verb forms the **future simple**; here it predicts that time **will tear** us apart.

• I'll rip out my heart

  ➔ Contraction of "I will" + verb (future intention).

  ➔ "I'll" = **"I will"**; it expresses a strong future action – to "rip out" one's heart.

• 우린 어지러울 만큼 벼락 끝에 서 있는 듯해

  ➔ Pattern "~듯하다" expresses conjecture/appearance; "-ㄹ 만큼" indicates degree.

  ➔ "듯해" means **"it seems like"**; the clause "어지러울 만큼" (to the extent that we feel dizzy) modifies the verb "서 있다" (stand).

• 영원하지 않을, 우린 완벽해

  ➔ Negation with verb stem "-지 않다" + future‑like modifier "-ㄹ"; juxtaposition with present tense.

  ➔ "영원하지 않을" = **"will not be eternal"**; the adjective "완벽해" (perfect) is in the present, creating a contrast between impermanence and perfection.

• No we collide

  ➔ Simple present tense with negative adverb "No" for emphasis.

  ➔ "No" functions as an **emphatic negation**, stressing that the action of colliding definitely occurs.
