Hangul
똑바로 봐
What’s the situation
당황한 너의 시선 너머
끝내 무너지는 성벽
차츰 밝아오는 새벽 Yeah uh

끝없이 이어지고 있어
무딘 칼날 끝에 잘라내지 못해
계속 반복되는 문제 Yeah
미처 풀지 못한 숙제

높은 벽 앞에 스러지던
작고 약한 바람 소리가
뒤엉켜 폭풍처럼 몰아치는
소릴 들어봐

깨고 부딪쳐야 해 우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해 멀리 번져가도록
여린 빛들이 번져가
긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해 새로워진 아침에

오만한 시선들로 날 봐
이미 다른 출발선 위에 앉아
까마득한 거리 Yeah
닿지 않을 듯한 외침

짓밟힌 채로 자라나던
간절한 수많은 꿈들이
보란 듯 담장 너머
피워낸 풍경을 바라봐

깨고 부딪쳐야 해 우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해 멀리 번져가도록
여린 빛들이 번져가
긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해 새로워진 아침에

왜곡되는 진실 가르쳐진 거짓
변화의 목소리 파도가 일어
전부 집어삼킬 바다를 만든 건
It’s you

깨고 부딪쳐야 해 우릴 볼 수 있도록
크게 소리쳐야 해 멀리 번져가도록
여린 빛들이 번져가
긴 어둠을 다 몰아낸 순간
다시 깨어나야 해 새로워진 아침에

English Translation

Look at me, what’s the situation
Past your flustered face
I see the walls crumbling down
And gradually, dawn is coming

It’s connecting endlessly
Can’t cut it off with this dull blade
So the problem keeps repeating
Like homework that can’t be solved

Fallen in front of a high wall
The small and weak sound of the wind
Gets entangled and turns into a storm
Listen to it

We must break it apart and clash against it
So we can see ourselves
We must shout out loud
So it spreads wide and far
The moment soft lights spread out
And chases away the darkness
We must wake up again
To the new morning

They look at me with arrogance
Already sitting at a different start line
The distance is far, yeah
As if our shouts won’t be heard

Countless and earnest dreams
That grew as they were trampled
Blossomed over the wall, confidently
Look at that scene

We must break it apart and clash against it
So we can see ourselves
We must shout out loud
So it spreads wide and far
The moment soft lights spread out
And chases away the darkness
We must wake up again
To the new morning

Distorted truths, the lies that were taught
A voice of change, a wave is rising
The one to create an ocean that will swallow it all
It’s you

We must break it apart and clash against it
So we can see ourselves
We must shout out loud
So it spreads wide and far
The moment soft lights spread out
And chases away the darkness
We must wake up again
To the new morning
