TWS “Overdrive” Official Lyrics

Hangul

Ah, 잠깐 날 볼 때마다 놀라
너무 뜨거워서 겁나, 이건 위험해
I’m getting overdrive
괜히 들키긴 싫은데 (ah)
네가 알아봐 줬음 해, 이런 내 맘
I’m getting overdrive
Over, over, overdrive

아, 깜짝이야 (ooh)
너 땜에 놀라, 놀라버린 맘이야
Hot, hot, 뜨거, 뜨거, my body’s gonna blow up
너의 눈길 한 번이면, 내 신경은 전부 turn up

이럴 시간이 없어 난 (ah)
어제도 준비됐어 난, let’s go right now
I’m getting overdrive
Over, over, overdrive

I cannot go back, 널 그날 본 게
내 최대 실수지 또 누굴 탓해
더는 못 해, 더는 못 해
나는 또 너만 보면

심장이 쿵 (쿵!), you’re makin’ my heart 쿵쿵 (쿵!)
더는 못 참겠어, oh, my (oh, my!)

I cannot go back, 이젠 말할게
솔직히 너 없인 내 맘도 재미없대
더는 못 해, 더는 못 해
나는 또 너만 보면

심장이 쿵 (쿵!), you’re makin’ my heart 쿵쿵 (쿵!)
더는 못 참겠어, oh, my (oh, my!)
원래 다 이런가요?

You make me overdrive

설마했었던 내가 (내가)
너무 좋다고 네가 (네가)
온몸이 부서진대도, 괜찮아 함께라면
오늘은 비가 와도 난 좋아
너라는 해가 떴으니까, I’m okay

심장이 쿵 (쿵!), you’re makin’ my heart 쿵쿵 (쿵!)
이러다 죽겠어, oh, my (oh, my!)
원래 다 이런가요? (Whoa)

Startled when you glance at me

Hot hot burn up burn up, my body’s gonna blow up
Just one look from you and all my nerves turn up

TWS “Overdrive” Meaning

TWS’s “Overdrive” is an energetic, guitar-driven pop track that captures the overwhelming excitement of young love. The song uses the idea of “overdrive” as a metaphor for emotions running at full speed – the moment when feelings become so intense that they push someone beyond their normal limits. Through this concept, the lyrics portray the nervousness, joy, and adrenaline that come with experiencing new romantic emotions.

The track reflects TWS’s youthful “boyhood” concept, emphasizing the heat and spontaneity of adolescence. Rather than presenting love in a calm or mature way, the song highlights the chaotic and thrilling side of attraction, where even small moments can make the heart race. This emotional rush is mirrored in the song’s fast-paced, guitar-heavy sound, which creates a bright and refreshing atmosphere.

The performance further reinforces the song’s energetic message through dynamic choreography, including jumps, flips, and intense floor movements during the final chorus. Combined with its lively production and youthful theme, “Overdrive” celebrates the passionate and unpredictable energy of youth, capturing the feeling of moving full speed toward love and new experiences.
