IRENE & SEULGI “TILT” Lyrics

Hangul

Ooh darling we’re meant to be
Follow my love we’re meant to be

나쁜 호기심은
매번 그어둔 선을 넘어
한순간도 눈을 못 떼
There’s no game over
갈수록 더 아찔해
Feel like a seesaw play

똑바로 서있기도 버거워 보이니
Stop pretending
버티기는 그쯤 하면 충분해
Just let it
옳고 그름 따윈
모두 내려놔도 돼
좀 더 과감하게
Walk into my line

중심을 바꿔 Not a crime
You don’t need a reason
어둠 속에 반짝인 Your eyes
다가와 Right now yeah yeah

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
더 비틀어봐
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
뒤바뀐 시야
TILT TILT TILT TILT

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
더 비틀어봐
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
뒤바뀐 시야
TILT TILT TILT TILT

균형이 깨져버린
명암 위로 덧그려낸 환상
잘려나간 시야 밖을
가득 채운 상상
우리가 완성해낸 New masterpiece
어떤 시선에도
완벽한 Balance

선명해지는 What we like
즐기며 Flip the gaze
흔들릴수록 빛나잖아
Baby don’t stop now yeah yeah

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
더 비틀어봐
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
뒤바뀐 시야
TILT TILT TILT TILT

반대편에 서서
서로를 또 밀어내
망상들이 만들어낸
Love and hate but it’s fate
Don’t break it down down down

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
더 비틀어봐
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT

Translation

Ooh darling we’re meant to be
Follow my love we’re meant to be

Bad curiosity crosses the line every time
Can’t look away
for a single moment,
There’s no game over
Thrill keeps building,
Feel like a seesaw play

You can barely stand still so
Stop Pretending
That’s enough hanging tough, you can
Just let it
You can let go
of what’s right or wrong
Be bold,
Walk into my line

Shift that center it’s Not a crime
You don’t’ need a reason
Your eyes flashing in the dark
Come over Right now yeah yeah

Push me too hard I’ll

TILT TILT TILT TILT
Tilt it more
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Flipped perspective
TILT TILT TILT TILT

The illusion drawn over
the broken balance of shadow
Imagination fills in
where the perspective cuts off
New masterpiece we’ve created
Perfect Balance
from any point of view

Getting clearer What we like
Vibing as we Flip the gaze
The more it shakes, the more it shines
Baby don’t stop now yeah yeah

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Tilt it more
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Flipped perspective
TILT TILT TILT TILT

On opposite ends,
we keep pushing each other away
Delusion produces
Love and hate but it’s fate
Don’t break it down down down

Push me too hard I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Tilt it more
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Flipped perspective (I’m on the edge baby)

TILT TILT TILT TILT
Tilt it suddenly
TILT TILT TILT TILT
Take me too high I’ll
TILT TILT TILT TILT
It has awakened you

IRENE & SEULGI “TILT” Meaning

“TILT” uses the word’s dual meaning — both “to lean” and “an attempt at success” — as a central metaphor to explore relationships and personal growth. Instead of framing love as a competitive game with winners and losers, the lyrics focus on two people learning how to move in sync, create their own balance, and grow together through uncertainty. The song reflects the idea that emotional connection is not about dominance, but about mutual support and constantly adjusting to each other’s rhythm.

Through this perspective, Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi deliver a message that challenges conventional ideas of stability and perfection in relationships. The lyrics suggest that true balance is not static, but something that shifts and evolves as two people face challenges together. Ultimately, “TILT” emphasizes that breaking away from rigid perspectives allows individuals to shine more brightly, especially when they embrace vulnerability, change, and the dynamic nature of love and ambition.
