PLAVE “Born Savage” Lyrics

Hangul

제법 멀리 와 버렸지
Never look back
왜 여긴 대책도 없이
끝이 중요한 게 아냐 이건 나의 destiny
Louder than the rain

We run beyond the darkness
Ooh 잿더미의 blue
I’m betting it all on me
Roll the dice 두 배로
One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power woo
선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo 다친대도 내 전부를 걸겠어
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

혼돈에 비친
그 눈을 감아
세상의 답을 외친 다음
Born savage

갈망하는가
두 눈을 떠봐
세상의 답을 외친 다음
Born savage

긴 밤을 걸어 매일
암흑 속에 그 상처들을 피워
긴 밤을 지나 매일
피워냈던 그 상처들을 깨워

이미 다다랐지, make it rain, thumbs up
의미 없는 그 원성
지껄일수록 확실해지는 vision and 목표
Hold on tight
흔들린 적 없지 높은 절벽
쉽지 않을 길을 걸어 man, I’m breakin’ the wall

We run beyond the darkness
Ooh 잿더미의 blue
I’m betting it all on me

Roll the dice 두 배로
One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power woo
선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo 다친대도 내 전부를 걸겠어
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Yeah we goin’ straight to the top
기회야 no time to hesitate
Burn it up keep up the fire
본능이 날 깨워 savage

Yeah we goin’ straight to the top
기회야 no time to hesitate
부정할 수 없지 넌 because I’m true
I was born savage

Unlock the power woo
선택을 받은 운명을 거슬러
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo 다친대도 내 전부를 걸겠어
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

혼돈에 비친
그 눈을 감아
세상의 답을 외친 다음
Born savage

갈망하는가
두 눈을 떠봐
세상의 답을 외친 다음
Born savage

Translation

We’ve come quite far, haven’t we?
Never look back
Why is this place so reckless?
The end isn’t what matters, this is my destiny
Louder than the rain

We run beyond the darkness
Ooh, the blue within the ashes
I’m betting it all on me
Roll the dice, double it up
One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power woo
Defying the fate I was chosen for
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I get hurt, I’ll bet my everything
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Reflected in the chaos
Close those eyes
After shouting out the answer to the world
Born savage

Do you thirst for it?
Open your eyes
After shouting out the answer to the world
Born savage

Walking through the long night every day
Blooming those wounds within the darkness
Passing through the long night every day
Waking up those wounds that I made bloom

I’ve already arrived, make it rain, thumbs up
Those meaningless outcries—
The more they chatter, the clearer my vision and goal become
Hold on tight
I’ve never wavered, even on a high cliff
Walking a path that won’t be easy, man, I’m breakin’ the wall

We run beyond the darkness
Ooh, the blue within the ashes
I’m betting it all on me

Roll the dice, double it up
One touch, one rush, headed for the bloom

Unlock the power woo
Defying the fate I was chosen for
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I get hurt, I’ll bet my everything
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Yeah we goin’ straight to the top
It’s our chance, no time to hesitate
Burn it up keep up the fire
My instincts wake me up, savage

Yeah we goin’ straight to the top
It’s our chance, no time to hesitate
You can’t deny it because I’m true
I was born savage

Unlock the power woo
Defying the fate I was chosen for
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Woo, even if I get hurt, I’ll bet my everything
Energetic
Keep it manic
I’m never falling down

Reflected in the chaos
Close those eyes
After shouting out the answer to the world
Born savage

Do you thirst for it?
Open your eyes
After shouting out the answer to the world
Born savage
