English lyrics
STOP
Walk a bit, then sit down
Rest a little, then move on
Take it easy with your steps
Wherever I go, I don’t care
Even if I change direction
Even if it takes time
Even if I stumble while walking
I might lose to failure, but I spit on giving up
Why think so deeply wherever you go?
You don’t have to climb over the wall
Take it easy, go around in circles
Just go wherever you want, let’s go
I’m standing here again
Under the sky, another sun rises and sets repeatedly
I just become a cloud letting the wind carry me
Flying wherever, dancing along the way
I'll go wherever I wanna go
I follow the compass and walk,
I don’t care where I end up
벽Even if a wall blocks my way, I’ll take another path
I'll go wherever I wanna go
I always let the wind carry me
I don’t care what comes my way
I just lift my foot and step forward
I'll go wherever I wanna go
I'll go wherever I wanna go
Walk a bit, then wander
A little confused about the direction
Frozen again, startled
In a frustrating situation
Walk a bit, then wander
A little confused about the direction
Frozen again, startled
In a frustrating situation
I follow the compass and walk
I don’t care where I end up
Even if a wall blocks my way, I’ll take another path
I'll go wherever I wanna go
I always let the wind carry me
I don’t care what comes my way
I just lift my foot and step forward
I'll go wherever I wanna go
Double Knot
Shake off confused worries in my head
Where I should head to doesn't matter anymore
Wherever the steps take me I'm runnin'
Retie my loose shoelaces movin'
Now I'm free! Get up
I can go anywhere
Free! Get up
I go my way Get out of my way
Free! Get out
Wherever I go, never mind
Da Dadada Dada Da Da Da
Stretch my body after crouching
Walk anywhere Feel a ease
I even make a muddy road
Into a bling bling one
A dramatic and perfect ending
I'm the director
Life as a masterpiece so tightly tightly persistently
Tie harder double knot
Tie harder double knot
Stray Kids
I go anywhere go go
I choose as I like go go
I go anywhere go go
As I want to go
Da Dadada Dada Da Da
Dice without marking coin without front and back
I don't care which side is shown
Looking at the compass without direction going
Even if I can't get many things
It's okay if it's 1 out of 100
Even if I greedily paint every single color on a blank paper
Only black color will remain
Now I'm free! Get up
I can go anywhere
Free! Get up
I go my way Get out of my way
Free! Get out
Wherever I go, never mind
Da Dadada Dada Da Da Da
I've been looking at one thing now I have a broader perspective, I start to look at many roads
Looking at this place divided into many crossroads, eyes wide open
Go! Break all the, break all the rules
Ah As my steps go
Brr I'm out of breath Tightly tightly persistently
Tie harder double knot
Tie harder double knot
Stray Kids
I go anywhere go go
I choose as I like go go
I go anywhere go go
As I want to go
Da Dadada Dada Da Da
Whether I stop or not, ey ey
Wherever I go, ey ey
Whether I do something or not I do everything as I like ah
Hoo, double knot
Hoo, double knot
Hey (hey) Go! Go! Go! Go!
Hey (hey) Go! Go! Double knot (knot)
바람 Levanter
I thought I could reach if I kept chasing
I’ve never even doubted
Even though I held you as I imagined
Even though I held you tight with two hands
In my arms only the emptiness remains
By wandering around
I finally realized
That I have to let go of you
(Oh) I’ve been deceiving myself
(Oh) The moment I wake up from the dream I’ve endured
(Oh) I feel the light flooding in
I wanna be myself (I don’t care)
Even if it’s still strange (Just don’t care)
As soon as I broke away from you, I can see myself
Everything, all before my eyes
Now I know (Now I know)
The one I needed has been me
I walk as my feet take me
I feel the light, I feel the light
I was constantly
Running to you
Then I realized That my everything was towards you
The more I got close to you
The more I lost myself
Like the fallen leaves under the tree
Even if I eventually get stamped on in the snow
Now I rise above you looking for the spring
The remaining feelings are blown away by the wind
(Oh) The tunnel that locked me up in the dream
(Oh) The moment I get out of it
(Oh) I feel the light flooding in
I wanna be myself (I don’t care)
Even if it’s still strange (Just don’t care)
As soon as I broke away from you, I can see myself
Everything, all before my eyes
Now I know (Now I know)
The one I needed has been me
I walk as my feet take me
I feel the light, I feel the light
I was afraid of letting go of you
But I had to let go of you
It’s all good now
I wanna be myself (I don’t care)
Even if it’s still strange (Just don’t care)
After breaking away from you I can see
Everything, all before my eyes
Booster
Step on it hard until the engine catches fire
Until I surpass the speed of light
When I pass by, the road catches fire
As my body loosens up, my speed gets faster
If you blink, I'm already far ahead
I step on where I want to be faster than anyone
I'm all set to go
No one can catch up with me, My pace
I only look forward as I run
My speed keeps increasing
Even if I slow down
I over overtake it all
Seeing me, faster than light, they stand with jaws dropped
Watch me, in the blink of an eye, One step ahead
I, oh, I even if fierce winds howl around me
I’m gonna ride, oh, I
I let my body go with the wind, pushing forward even rougher
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Break through, break through (keep running keep running)
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Watch me, in the blink of an eye, One step ahead
Whatever's beneath my feet, I step on it and go, Here we go
In this place without speed bumps, I push my speed to the max
I don’t need anything else,
On this irregular route, I don’t need a map
After all, I'm the one holding the steering wheel
I just go where I want to go, that’s all there is
Even if I ride a paddle boat, I push my feet hundreds of times a second
Faster than a jet ski, no, faster than a jet
The waddling paddle boat might as well fly
Pushing forward with a burning spirit
I overtake a supercar with a stroller
I'm all set to go,
No one can catch up with me, My pace
I only look forward as I run
My speed keeps increasing
Even if I slow down
I over-overtake it all
Seeing me, faster than light, they stand with jaws dropped
Watch me, in the blink of an eye, One step ahead
I, oh, I even if fierce winds howl around me
I’m gonna ride, oh, I
I let my body go with the wind, pushing forward even rougher
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Break through, break through (keep running keep running)
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Watch me, in the blink of an eye, One step ahead
Even if the heated engine stops
I won’t fall behind
Even if a headwind blows against me
I’ll push through, I never stop
No matter what situation comes, I keep running
No one can catch me
Overtaking everything, leaving them all behind, Speed it up
I, oh, I even if fierce winds howl around me
I’m gonna ride, oh, I
I let my body go with the wind, pushing forward even rougher
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Break through, break through (keep running keep running)
Overtake, overtake (keep running)
Watch me, in the blink of an eye, One step ahead
Astronaut
I will go explore Right now
Young and free there's nothing to fear
Anywhere will be my hideout
Let's go to space Like an astronaut
I'm ready, my backpack is already packed
I stayed up all night, I was too excited to sleep
I'm brave, I'm great
Anything is possible no matter what I do, Okay
Ready Ready steady Let's go now Anywhere
Draw a map as I want, I don't need it anyway
Walk wherever my feet take me, yes, explore
Hop on my spaceship Like an astronaut
That star is drawing near to my hands
Grab it when it's close
We can go anywhere, so go anywhere
We can go anywhere, just hop on my spaceship
Let's go to find the stars without a clue Fly tonight (hey)
Let's go to space Like an astronaut
Even if I land on a strange world
I won't look for the exit (Hey)

If something's in my way, I go, kerpow kerpow
If something pops up, I go, bam bam

Sunshine
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye
Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
The conflicts in my head are over
All the boring stories, Wash away, they've all washed away
Now I'm sitting in a very peaceful paradise having a secret conversation with myself
Answering the questions I didn't know before I smile a bit
Like talking with a very old friend
Comfortably lying down Just chillin'
Having a pretty good time healing until the night comes
Now I go wherever I want without worries
Now I do what I want without pressure Yeah
Everything around me is in Slow mode
All the sounds have quieted down
All my worries Blow up
I let the wind take me
Now I Yeah

Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye
Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
As I make up my mind, I see everything as it is
Without saying anything, I just follow where I'm drawn
Walking, walking endlessly
Walking on that road that stretches out like a red carpet
Sometimes I feel discouraged by unwelcoming gazes
So what, What's the problem, just ignore it and go your way
I don't care what anyone says
What's important Wherever you go
Why Where
Everything around me is in Slow mode
All the sounds have quieted down
All my worries Blow up
I let the wind take me
Now I Yeah
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye
Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye
Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
Here's a quiet place without any noise Ye ye ye
A serene place except for the sound of our breathing Ye ye ye
Everything that made my head hurt is blown away by the wind, Fade away ye
Should we fly to that blue sky where the clouds swim Ye ye ye
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye
Sitting under a sunny shade
Close your eyes and look at me for a moment
Even in the noisy city Ye ye ye
I do what I want, my way Ye ye ye

You can STAY
The place we run to for each other
Yes, we were always in the same place
Together, I feel time has flied so fast
In my time, memories are crowded
I didn't know the sky is so clear like this until I met you
I thought the sun is only scorching
Thank you for coming to me
And becoming the same shadow with mine before the approaching light
You can STAY yeah

Instead of the chilly wind, the sound of the wind patting us

I was running hastily
You ran in step with me
And embraced me saying okay
You let me lean on your shoulder
The cold shower didn't stop
The rainwater came up to my chin
Thank you for holding my hands
As I look back on the path I've come
I can always picture the images of you and me together
You can STAY yeah
