Samadhi we burn again
네 위를 봐
You can‘t deny
막힘 없지
더 묻지마
Do what you please
거침없게
Don’t cross the line
1, 2, 3 set it off
Try and catch up 수평 너머로
높이 용 솟음 쳐
마법같은 purr
이래 저래 해도 넌
‘Bout it ‘bout that, no you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you look at me now
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
손 위로 답을 몰라도
Throw it up what you wanna do?

We back on track
이미 백번째 나를 dead it
뜨거운 햇빛처럼 lit it
Samadhi we burn again
Provocation ain’t nothing new to me
휘둘러 봐 네 녹슨 sword
질투 가득한 admiration
Self affirmation yet still unsure
번쩍 뜨일거야 두 눈이
Me and my girls you dealin’ with
So 아리따운 killin’ 잔인한 willin’
Hands up who the real villain
내 안의 불씨들 won’t let it die
꺼지진 않겠어 I will survive
이래 저래 해도 넌
‘Bout it ‘bout that, no you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you look at me now
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
손 위로 답을 몰라도
Throw it up what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
손 위로 답을 몰라도
Throw it up what you wanna do?
불타는 마음 다 태워봐
어차피 또 피어날 테니까
이제 다시 거슬러 위로 아래로
다 뒤집어
Let that drum go rum pu pu pum
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky open put your hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky open put your
Hands up
Translation
I’m heading this way we gata
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi we burn again
Look above you
You can‘t deny
Nothing blocking me
Don’t ask no more
Do what you please
There’s no holding back
Don’t cross the line
1, 2, 3 set it off
Try and catch up beyond the horizon
Soar high like a dragon
It’s our magic purr
Try doing this and that, but you
‘Bout it ‘bout that, no you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you look at me now
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up what you wanna do?
I’m heading this way we gata
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi we burn again
Provocation ain’t nothing new to me
Try swinging your rusty sword
All about jealous admiration
Self affirmation yet still unsure
Your eyes will open wide
Me and my girls you dealin’ with
So beautifully killin’ cruelly willin’
Hands up who the real villain
The fire in me, I won’t let it die
Won’t let it go out, I will survive
Even if you try doing this and that
‘Bout it ‘bout that, no you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you look at me now
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up what you wanna do?
Burn all that fiery heart
Because I’m going to bloom anyway
Now let’s go back, up and down
Turn everything upside down
Let that drum go rum pu pu pum
Hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky open put your hands up
Crack the sky open put your hands up
Break the sky open put your
Hands up
MEOVV “HANDS UP” Meaning
“HANDS UP” is a powerful anthem that continues to deliver the group’s ambitious message, a theme they have passionately expressed since their debut. The song not only reinforces MEOVV’s bold aspirations but also offers a deeper look into the inner struggles and challenges they face as artists. Rather than succumbing to hardships, “HANDS UP” highlights their relentless determination and personal growth, showcasing how they continue to push forward, striving for new heights despite the obstacles in their path.
Lyrically, the track speaks about embracing challenges head-on, breaking through barriers, and refusing to be held back by fear, doubt, or negativity. It encourages self-expression, confidence, and the courage to rise above external pressures. The repeated chant of “put your hands up” serves as a rallying cry for empowerment and liberation, symbolizing the act of reclaiming one’s path and boldly moving forward, no matter what stands in the way.
The music video, released simultaneously with the song on April 28 by The Black Label, adds a playful yet meaningful visual layer to the track. In the video, MEOVV’s members are seen training to play alkkagi, a traditional Korean board game that symbolizes strategy, precision, and perseverance. The story builds up to a humorous yet symbolic showdown against the so-called “alkkagi god,” who is eventually revealed to be a little boy — a witty reminder that challenges may come in unexpected forms, but with determination, they can be overcome.
