RIIZE “Fame” Lyrics

Hangul

They don’t really love me, they don’t really love me
They, na-na, na-na
They don’t really love me, they don’t really love me
Na-na-na
Shout, loud, cry, tears
Fear, pain, but keep going
All I did it for
My love, not fame

Will she love me? 내가 무너져도
난 아닌 척해, do I look like I’m good?
숨 막히는 밤이 나를 끌어안지
이런 내 모습 보일까 봐
꿈은 don’t lie, 라는 말 거짓말 (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
나를 위해 써낸 drama 일까 (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
When you call me out, 망설이지 왜 (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
내게 물어봐, do I deserve your faith? (Ooh, yeah, yeah, woo)

All this fake fame, maybe I don’t need it
끌어안아 한 조각의 feeling
오직 깊고 짙은 사랑을 원하는 걸
Won’t stop

On the way, 달려 널 위해 (Yeah, woo)
날 보는 지금 넌 어때? (지금 넌 어때?)
아직도 원해, where you at? (Where you at?)
Still can’t see, 멀리 소리쳐 너를 찾아 (찾아)

Shout loud for your name (Shout loud for your name)
Ain’t ’bout the fame, nah
Shout loud for your name, yeah (Shout loud for your name)
Ain’t ’bout the fame, nah

Super hard (Super hard), make it loud (Make it loud)
어떤 날 (숨을, 숨을) 원할까? Yeah
겉모습 말고 진짜 나인 내 모습
터트려 난 지금뿐, bass go boom, boom, boom, boom (Boom)
Turning up for my reason, 날 비추는 빛 (Yeah)
Shot, shot, flashlight
Pass me the key
난 너와 영원히 (Go up, go up)

All this fake fame, maybe I don’t need it
끌어안아 한 조각의 feeling
We gon’ run and chase, make it everyday
함께라면 우린 이뤄내, you know that I need you

On the way, 달려 널 위해 (Yeah, woo)
날 보는 지금 넌 어때? (지금 넌 어때?)
아직도 원해, where you at? (Where you at?)
Still can’t see, 멀리 소리쳐 너를 찾아 (찾아)

Shout loud for your name (Shout loud for your name)

Translation

They don’t really love me, they don’t really love me
They, na-na, na-na
They don’t really love me, they don’t really love me
Na-na-na
Shout, loud, cry, tears
Fear, pain, but keep going
All I did it for
My love, not fame

Will she love me? Even if I fall apart
I pretend I’m fine, do I look like I’m good?
The suffocating nights hold me tight
Afraid to let you see this side of me
They say “dreams don’t lie,” but that’s a lie (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
Is this just drama I wrote for myself? (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
When you call me out, why do you hesitate? (Woah, ooh-woah, woah)
Ask me, do I deserve your faith? (Ooh, yeah, yeah, woo)

All this fake fame, maybe I don’t need it
Holding onto a single piece of feeling
All I want is deep, intense love
Won’t stop

On the way, running for you (Yeah, woo)
How do you feel, looking at me now? (How do you feel now?)
I still want you, where you at? (Where you at?)
Still can’t see, I shout into the distance, searching for you (Searching)

Shout loud for your name (Shout loud for your name)
Ain’t ’bout the fame, nah
Shout loud for your name, yeah (Shout loud for your name)
Ain’t ’bout the fame, nah

Super hard (Super hard), make it loud (Make it loud)
What kind of day do you want? (Breathing, breathing) Yeah
Not the surface, but the real me
I explode in this moment, bass go boom, boom, boom, boom (Boom)
Turning up for my reason, the light that shines on me (Yeah)
Shot, shot, flashlight
Pass me the key
I’m with you forever (Go up, go up)

All this fake fame, maybe I don’t need it
Holding onto a single piece of feeling
We gon’ run and chase, make it everyday
Together we’ll make it, you know that I need you

On the way, running for you (Yeah, woo)
How do you feel, looking at me now? (How do you feel now?)
I still want you, where you at? (Where you at?)

In the end, RIIZE delivers a powerful declaration of authenticity, emphasizing that genuine connection, self-acceptance, and shared emotions with their fans, BRIIZE, matter far more than superficial success, symbolized by their relentless pursuit of the one presence that truly understands them.
