ATEEZ “NASA” Lyrics

Hangul

내려놔 장비는 툭, 왔잖아, eyes on me, look
고르지 오늘의 loop, 보여줘, call me Houdini, 홀려버리지 난 mind
I ain’t never stop, sweep it all up, 막 쓸어 담아 cost, go
미치게, woah, 알잖아, 계속 찍어내 막 barcode
챙겨놔 bring my things, 안 받아, hotline bling
죽여, all ’em hits, 묶어, all ’em bands, I’ma—
808’s so deep, they gon’ fracture ribs
그 위에 얹어 meat, 요리해, special meal

뱉어 난 gold and silver
만들어, masterpiece
가치는 안 변하지
It’s ’til I rest in peace
Turn up
I fly, so higher than the sky
We go
저 우주까지 올라, going up

Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA
Eyes on the ball, no pasta, rooting for my fall, yeah, I catch that (Who’s that?)
Dough going up like a half stack
올라가 저 멀리, hell, yeah
정하지 않아 no limits, yeah, 오로지 향해 하늘로
Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA

Irony하지, 별이 됐어도 rocket을 쏘니
다 머리 조심 우린 함부로 막 fire spitting
숨겨 날 NASA 우주는 mi casa
세계를 무대로 잠시 놀러 온 외계인 하나, that’s me
무서워 내 삶이 막 붉어져 like Apple stock
오르락내리락, 추락한 개미 떼, 월가의 먹잇감
별들을 수확해 빼고 더하다 추락시켜 cold collector
추락마저 creator, 맞아, 내 가치는 different

뱉어 난 gold and silver
만들어, masterpiece
가치는 안 변하지
It’s ’til I rest in peace
Turn up
I fly, so higher than the sky
We go
저 우주까지 올라, going up

Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA
Eyes on the ball, no pasta, rooting for my fall, yeah, I catch that (Who’s that?)
Dough going up like a half stack
올라가 저 멀리, hell, yeah
정하지 않아 no limits, yeah, 오로지 향해 하늘로
Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA

매일 밤을 make it rain, 쏟아지는 money and fame
I want it more and more
뜨거워 오늘 밤, just keep it going, yeah
아침이 올 때까지, ’round and ’round

Translation

Drop the gear with a thud, I’m here now, eyes on me, look
Pick today’s loop, show it off, call me Houdini, I hypnotize your mind
I ain’t never stop, sweep it all up, I just rake in the cost, go
Driving you crazy, woah, you know it, I keep printing them like barcodes
Pack it up, bring my things, I don’t answer, Hotline Bling
Killing all ’em hits, tying up all ’em bands, I’ma—
808s so deep they gon’ fracture ribs
Layer on the meat, cook it up, a special meal

I spit gold and silver
Create a masterpiece
Its value never changes
It’s ’til I rest in peace
Turn up
I fly so higher than the sky
We go
Up to outer space, going up

Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA
Eyes on the ball, no pasta, rooting for my fall, yeah, I catch that (Who’s that?)
Dough going up like a half stack
Rising way up there, hell yeah
No limits set, yeah, only aiming for the sky
Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA

It’s ironic, even after becoming a star, I still fire rockets
Watch your heads, we spit fire without restraint
Hide me, I’m NASA, space is my house
An alien who came to play on the world stage for a moment, that’s me
It’s scary, my life keeps turning red like Apple stock
Up and down, ants falling, prey for Wall Street
Harvesting stars, adding and subtracting, dropping them, cold collector
I’m the creator of even the fall, yeah, my value is different

I spit gold and silver
Create a masterpiece
Its value never changes
It’s ’til I rest in peace
Turn up
I fly so higher than the sky
We go
Up to outer space, going up

Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA
Eyes on the ball, no pasta, rooting for my fall, yeah, I catch that (Who’s that?)
Dough going up like a half stack
Rising way up there, hell yeah
No limits set, yeah, only aiming for the sky
Shoot for the stars like NASA, always going up like my stack
Ready on your mark, go faster, shoot for the stars like NASA

Every night we make it rain, money and fame pouring down
I want it more and more
Tonight is burning hot, just keep it going, yeah
‘Til morning comes, ’round and ’round

ATEEZ “NASA” Meaning

ATEEZ’s “NASA” is an anthemic track that channels ambition, growth, and the pursuit of greatness through the metaphor of space exploration. The lyrics emphasize a “shoot for the stars” mindset, with lines about constantly rising and pushing higher symbolizing the group’s determination to keep evolving. Rather than settling, the song reflects a relentless drive to reach new heights and redefine their limits.

A key theme in “NASA” is legacy. The song highlights the desire to create something lasting a “masterpiece” that goes beyond temporary success. This aligns with ATEEZ’s artistic journey, marking a shift from their earlier ocean and pirate-inspired concepts to a broader, more limitless universe. Moving from sea to space symbolizes breaking past boundaries and stepping into unknown territory.

The track also incorporates clever wordplay, as “NASA” can reference both the space agency and the Korean word 나사 (meaning “screw”), implying tightening their position and solidifying their identity in the industry. Combined with its high-energy sound and powerful imagery, “NASA” ultimately delivers a message of ambition, resilience, and aiming beyond what seems possible.
