Red Velvet “Chill Kill” Lyrics
Hangul
Ooha
Oohah yeah
어디서 왔니 홀연히
고요했던 세상의 Crash
Chill Kill의 등장 마치 Thunder
그 짜릿함에 미쳤어
달콤해진 오류 불완전의 찬미
뭐가 겁났겠어? Always and forever
너무 쉬운 넌 내 거라
맘대로 껴안고 멋대로 보냈어
다시 네가 보고 싶어
죽도록 후회하잖아
Yeah don’t care if it hur-hur-hurts
네게 어울리는 Perfect soul
다시 널 붙잡을 수 있을까?
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) 넌 여전히 반짝여
변할 거야 이제서야
눈물이 흘러 얼음을 녹여
What a chill kill
I know you will
Bring me lightning like a winner
여기서 널 기다려
Happy ending으로
What a chill kill
긴 밤 등대를 켜
네가 길 잃지 않게 (I’m here)
혹독한 밤이라
온 세상은 숨죽여
날 잘못 길들여
나 밖에 몰랐지
왜 그리 잘했니
내가 자격 있니 (Together)
넌 자꾸 멀리멀리 도망치며
미워한다고 외쳐
그 말의 끝에 망설였잖아
눈을 맞춰줬잖아
(Don’t run away)
거칠고 서툰 Nights were young
차갑던 밤을 데우자
봐 봐 많이 달라졌지
내가 제법 변했지
널 한 번 더 안을 수 있을까?
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) 넌 여전히 반짝여
변할 거야 이제서야
눈물이 흘러 얼음을 녹여
What a chill kill
I know you will
Bring me lightning like a winner
여기서 널 기다려
Happy ending으로
What a chill kill
Say say say
Now are you ready ready? (You ready?)
Say say say
Now are you ready?
너 때문에 울지 않아
너 때문에 웃을 수밖에 없던 거야
(Up in the sky)
Yeah it’s love
오렌지빛 해는 거의 저물어
너의 온기만 필요해
Until the end
(Till the end of time yeah yeah)
End of time
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) 넌 끝없이 반짝여 (Oh yeah yeah)
변할 거야 이제서야
눈물이 흘러 [웬/All] 그 얼음을 녹여
Don’t think about tomorrow (Oh yeah)
Forget about your sorrow
변할 거야 너는 날 못 떠나
눈물이 흘러 그 얼음을 녹여
(그 얼음을 녹여)
(What a chill kill I know you will)
Don’t think about tomorrow (Oh oh oh)
(Bring me lightning like a winner)
넌 끝없이 반짝여 (Oh yeah)
변할 거야 난 이제야

Translation
Ooha
Oohah yeah
What brings you here all sudden?
Crash into a world so still
Chill Kill enters like Thunder
That thrill be makin’ my mind ill
Add sugar to the error Glory to the incomplete
Could anything scare me? Always and forever
You’re so easy to make mine
Held you whenever, sent you wherever
But I wanna see you again
Regretting so bad I could die
Yeah don’t care If it hur-hur-hurts
Perfect soul looks perfect on you
Could I make you stay one more time?
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) Your sparkle is still on
Gonna change at long last
Tears down my cheeks melting that ice
What a chill kill
I know you will
Bring me lightning like a winner
Waiting for you here
For a happy ending
What a chill kill
Night is long, fire up the lighthouse
So you won’t get lost (I’m here)
This night is harsh
So the world’s all hushed
You tamed me badly
For you there was only me
Why were you so good to me
Was I worth it, baby (Together)
You keep running, running away
Shouting how you hate me
But you couldn’t finish saying it
And locked your eyes with mine
(Don’t run away)
Nights were young – clumsy, a bit crude
Nights were cold – turn the heat up
Yeah, look how much has changed
Look how I’m quite changed
Could I hold you once again?
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) Your sparkle is still on
Gonna change at long last
Tears down my cheeks melting that ice
What a chill kill
I know you will
Bring me lightning like a winner
Waiting for you here
For a happy ending
What a chill kill
Say say say
Now are you ready ready? (You ready?)
Say say say
Now are you ready?
I won’t cry because of you
I laughed only because of you
(Up in the sky)
Yeah it’s love
The orange sun’s almost set
All I need is your warmth
Until the end
(Till the end of time yeah yeah)
End of time
(Hey!) Don’t think about tomorrow
(Yoo hoo!) Your sparkle is endless
Gonna change at long last
Tears down my cheeks melting that ice
Don’t think about tomorrow
Forget about your sorrow
Gonna change and you can’t leave me
Tears down my cheeks melting that ice
(Melting that ice)
(What a chill kill I know you will)
Don’t think about tomorrow
(Bring me lightning like a winner)
Your sparkle is endless
Gonna change myself at long last
Red Velvet “Chill Kill” Meaning
“Chill Kill” is a concept-heavy title track that captures the idea of a sudden, life-altering disruption a person or moment that breaks the silence of an otherwise calm, predictable life. The phrase itself blends contradiction: “chill” suggests stillness, while “kill” implies intensity and rupture. Together, it represents a thrilling disturbance something that brings both chaos and meaning.
At the heart of the lyrics is a sense of longing for that disruption. Even though the “chill kill” figure brings emotional turmoil or even pain, their presence transforms a dull reality into something vivid and alive. This creates a “bright tragedy” a mix of beauty and darkness where love feels both destructive and irresistible. The narrator doesn’t simply suffer from this change; they miss it, suggesting that even unstable emotions can feel preferable to emptiness.
The song also reflects Red Velvet’s signature duality. The “Red” side appears in the catchy, almost playful chorus, while the “Velvet” side emerges through darker tones, layered production, and emotional intensity. This contrast mirrors the core theme: a love that is both sweet and unsettling, comforting yet dangerous.
Visually, the music video deepens this narrative by portraying the members as sisters dealing with the aftermath of a mysterious tragedy. This storyline reinforces the idea of a shared emotional rupture something that changes everything, yet binds them together in its wake.
Ultimately, “Chill Kill” is about embracing the contradictions of love and life. It portrays disruption not just as loss, but as something that gives color, meaning, and intensity to existence even if it comes with pain.
