Translation

We are about to take off
We are go for launch

We goin’ up up like NASA
We goin’ up up

My pounding heart so loud
I can hear the sign of start
Shout it out to the world in the air
Own the pace
We goin’ up like NASA

Let’s start
No cap
We goin’ up like NASA
Dashing out! Move!
We goin’ up like NASA
Burn everything and light the fire
3, 2, 1 Let’s go (with you now)
We goin’ up like NASA
We goin’ up like NASA

Okay, perfectly prepared, we are riders
Igniting a new G, the flames
High up, uh we’re going higher, carrying our wishes on the wind, ready to go

Countless wishing stars go burst
Without hesitation, I crank the gear up to MAX speed
Each of our WISHes, fire up the “LIT”
Reaching the absolute summit, going up and we never back down

Down down
A gravity different from everyone else
Step by step (Dan-dan-dan)
We’re being pulled up into the sky
Wrapped inside the light, we loop
A zero-gravity, floating heart in a groove

My pounding heart so loud
I can hear the sign of start
Try shouting it out to the world in the air
Own the pace
Wish the MAX
An endless galaxy, searching for the light
Flying right through the long darkness, ooh

Let’s start
No cap
We goin’ up like NASA
Dashing out! Move!
We goin’ up like NASA
Burn everything and light the fire
3, 2, 1 Let’s go (with you now)
We goin’ up like NASA
We goin’ up like NASA

With the brakes left broken
Sky is the limit, but even that’s not enough, right?
Just as you want, start the boost
The orbit we drew putting our hands together is our view
We goin’ up up
Galactic speeds
Going beyond the Milky Way
Take off and keep it hyper
Take me higher then you glide it
I like it fast, there are no boundaries

Whoo, the time to awaken
Put your desire into it
Make a wish now
Overlapping thoughts, taking a breath
Falling deeply into it, seize to amaze yeah
If you can’t avoid it, then enjoy and face it

Yeah supernova
Taking over everything okay
Exceeding all expectations, gonna shine
Soaring high like NASA

We goin’ up like NASA
We goin’ up like NASA

Let’s start
No cap
We goin’ up like NASA
Dashing out! Move!
We goin’ up like NASA
Burn everything and light the fire
3, 2, 1 Let’s go (with you now)
We goin’ up like NASA
We goin’ up like NASA (Shoot-)

Faster than light
We goin’ up like NASA
Going past the limiter
We goin’ up like NASA
An unfolding new world
All preparations are complete, now (Shoot-)
Faster than light
We goin’ up like NASA

NCT WISH “NASA” Meaning

The song also uses cosmic imagery to represent perseverance. Galaxies, stars, and gravity-defying flights symbolize the challenges and uncertainties that come with chasing dreams. Despite these difficulties, the lyrics emphasize moving forward with confidence and refusing to give up.

Overall, “NASA” is a motivational anthem about courage, passion, and believing in your potential. Its powerful message encourages listeners to aim for the stars, work relentlessly toward their goals, and embrace a future filled with endless possibilities.
