English lyrics

밟힌 적 없는 길 Road Not Taken

Walking a bit, then wandering
A bit confused about the direction
Startled again by the ice
This frustrating situation

I trust the compass and keep walking
But it's always a familiar scene
Moving forward on a path never stepped on before
Not on the main road, but my own way

Even if I can’t see what's ahead anymore
I'll step out, throw myself fearlessly
Run out and sprint without regrets
Even if it feels hopeless I will never stop

Even if it feels hopeless I will never stop
Even if it feels hopeless I will never

부작용 Side Effects

I threw myself with trust in me
But why am I being swayed
I threw myself with trust in me
But why am I just being hurt

Get out of the way you all (actually I am)
I'm right (scared)
You all wait and see (can I do it?)
I'm scared that I might not keep these words

Why am I keep changing?
My inside and outside are both changing
I'm being colored now

My head hurts
My head hurts
My head hurts

I threw myself with trust in me
But why am I being swayed
I threw myself with trust in me
But why am I just being hurt

Wait a second, this is weird, my vision's blurry
Why doesn't it end? I keep hearing disturbing noises

Even here, I kept
Believing in winning over everything with my will to fight
Bravado can't last anymore

Maybe it hurts more because I thought it'd be easy
I won't change, always Yah
I used to shout that, but why am I
According to my surroundings
Countlessly being changed Yah

Depending on which person got on my nerves
Why does my reaction change?
I used to move to the groove only when I liked them
But now I'm following other people
Will my taste change also?

My head hurts
My head hurts
My head hurts

I swallow pills called baseless confidence (gulp gulp)
Maybe I took them so many, now I'm feeling worried than confident (brr brr brr brr)
Everything is being changed, from 1 to 10 (more and more)
The side effects kicking in against my will
No no no no

Wait a second, this is weird, my vision's blurry
Why doesn't it end? I keep hearing disturbing noises

Even here, I kept
Believing in winning over everything with my will to fight
Bravado can't last anymore
Maybe it hurts more because I thought it'd be easy

Ah My head hurts

My head hurts
My head hurts
My head hurts

별생각 TMT

The night when all sorts of thoughts come to my mind
As usual I look up to the night sky
As there are more stars twinkling
Why do I get more nervous and anxious? Yeah

As if the stars are looking down on me
I feel bad these days
Should I follow the blowing wind?
Am I left behind facing the headwind?

Not anyone can do this
I shout out every day that I'm not anyone
I know my situation and circumstances
But I keep on going this way no matter how much I walk
I still remain in the same place Treadmill
This déjà vu is unwelcomed, it distresses me
The two different paths between crisis and opportunity
Is the one that I've been on a crisis?
Pretending not to know I keep asking

I want to be like the twinkling star
Not everyone can be a star Bling bling
I'm afraid of falling like the falling stars
I guess I'll never ever find out

All sorts of thoughts come to my mind
Should I go or not? Yah
All sorts of thoughts come to my mind

I have all sorts of thoughts in my mind
Why am I wandering even if I chose my path?
I ran looking at the star
I feel hopeless about my path so I'm scared again
Can I be like the star?

Have I come too far? Yeah
It's the same even if I look back Yeah
In darkness I've walked by relying only on the shining star
I know I've been walking this way
Based on my will and choice
But I keep looking elsewhere
Are these my lingering feelings?
I know it shouldn't but
I'm afraid that it will turn into regrets

Ey Who would challenge knowing that it's impossible?
I often get hurt after coming in
But I pretend working hard
If I step backwards
Wwill somebody blame me for being irresponsible?

The path I've been on looking upon the star
Fades away in the dense forest silence
I'm afraid that the star
I've been watching have already fallen like a meteor

I want to be like the twinkling star
Not everyone can be a star Bling bling
I'm afraid of falling like the falling stars
I guess I'll never ever find out

All sorts of thoughts come to my mind
Should I go or not? Yah
All sorts of thoughts come to my mind
I have all sorts of thoughts in my mind

Honestly this is my choice
But I feel nervous about not being able to do it as I wish
Only the expectations for me grow bigger
I'm afraid to fall down if I rely on more

Woah (Hey)
Shall I turn back?
Woah (Hey)
Don't look back

Should I go or not? Yah
I have all sorts of thoughts in my mind

Why am I wandering even if I chose my path?
I ran looking at the star
I feel hopeless about my path so I'm scared again
Can I be like the star?

Mixtape#1

Will I be able to go up
Will I be able to go up

Rather than judging
If I'm on the right track or not
I'm going to follow the road
That I choose and can enjoy
Because I know that the only remedy I have
Suring this rough journey is myself,
I trust and rely on myself

I guess I'm in an illusion
No, it feels like I got pulled into a fantasy
Meeting people I dreamt of in my dreams
Time to go, it's now time to start my voyage

Placebo effect
I'm fooled again by a single phrase that has no effect
Whenever I'm lacking confidence,
Once I pretend to be fooled and take it all in
Inspiration comes

The way that I see, the way that I want to see
Just doing it my way
Just doing everything my way
Peel of the negative filter
and change it into a feeling of success
Having faith allows things that previously didn't exist to happen
Trust myself

'Cause later when I become
Addicted to life
Although the medicine I took when I was sick
Has no effect
It comforts me, I fly away
Up towards the sun Yeah
It's all up in my mind
Fool me This time
Fool me This time
Fool me

Laying down restless
Regretting life choices
An anchor dragging me down like
I always feel hopeless
But again I'm not the kind to
Fall in Devil's hands
Gotta drop my rusty chains
This is where I stand
This is my life my time won't
Stop thank God I'm back alive
Resurrected with the right mind
Believing myself all times
We gonna make it
Proud of ourselves we will never
Break into many ah

The positive belief that will even heal my wounds
Keep going, the Placebo that works on me
Honestly there’s no need to be negative
Trust myself, throw away those extra thoughts

Take in the Placebo, start the engine, try my dreams,
Go up step by step
My belief in my unshakeable dream
The amount of my personal projects
That everyone's jealous of
Was only made possible
Because I believed in myself

Cause later when I become
Addicted to life
Although the medicine I took when I was sick
Has no effect
It comforts me, I fly away
Up towards the sun Yeah
It's all up in my mind
Fool me This time
Fool me This time
Fool me This time

I believe that the happy images
I saw in my childhood dreams will come true
I believe that the dreams I had
Will soon turn into a happy reality^[1]

Cause later when I become
Addicted to life
Although the medicine I took when I was sick
Has no effect
It comforts me, I fly away
Up towards the sun Yeah
(It's all up in my mind)
Fool me This time
It's all up in my mind
Fool me This time
It's all up in my mind
Fool me This time

I can go up
I can go up

Mixtape#2

Do you remember when we all met first and said hello?
We practiced to take the first step
We were like mothers of babies
We did everything as much carefully as making baby food
On the day when we took care of everything
If the people's response is proportional to our passion
This is impossible
If I responded to the zero response
I might get hurt badly
Maybe this song couldn't come out
I'm just thirsty for a moment

I think I forgot the excited feelings at the moment
In other words, I think I became
mature more than before
I think I lost to this as
I was pressed for time
It's awful to cling to you
Like a tick
The end as the insect repellent even under the pressure
I can't control my dream even if it's dark in front of me
My passion lights up in front of me as a lantern
Once 9 of us are together we become the lighthouse
Things will change

Don't close your eyes again
The shadow is standing where the light shines on
If you look back, many lights will
Be waiting for you

Am I doing right or not
To be honest I was nervous at that time
But thanks to the many flowers
Shining on 9 of us
I'm not insecure

One for the fame
one for the game
Anytime is okay like them
One for the way
I'm gonna take
Anywhere I hum this song
Even if I go too far
I can't stop
Even the dark shadow
needs light to exist

We ran
To the same light
It's a simple friendship of 9
with music and dance
I don't regret it even if I'm a little exhausted
I'm just happy laughing
while having some chicken
Follow the world where black
contrasts with white like crosswalk
I live my life again
that I can't avoid
Just relax and smile
Take it easy
It's just simple don't be serious
I'm just trying hard

Hey we never give up
we never give up
We never give up We never give up
I believe my family
The light is shining on us
So we can overcome anything
Even if the shadow swallows us we will not give up

I wake up, my happy
Dreams fade away
I can't breathe my head is spinning
I keep doing this replay
I can't feel it over time
In my head colourless voices
Stepping in in my mind
Hopeless choices
I know I can't succeed
if I feed like this
Leave like this scarred
and feared pain like this

One for the fame
one for the game
Anytime is okay like them
One for the way
I'm gonna take
Anywhere I hum this song
Even if I go too far
I can't stop
Even the dark shadow
needs light to exist

Sometimes I feel the same way
When I'm tired and exhausted
I look up the sky
It can't always shine
But it can shine more
brightly only with darkness

So think about it again
Look back on the path you ran
Before you know, you've come this far
It's too early to give up
Hard times will pass
Don't worry
Fly it to the sky fly^[1]

One for the fame
one for the game
Anytime is okay like them
One for the way
I'm gonna take
Anywhere I hum this song
Even if I go too far
I can't stop
Even the dark shadow
(needs light to exist)

One for the fame
one for the game
Anytime is okay like them
One for the way
I'm gonna take
Anywhere I hum this song
Even if I go too far
I can't stop
Even the dark shadow
needs light to exist

Mixtape#3

My steps toward the study room
Today as always
Are not just light
The tedious hours that started again
Let me down and make me watch the clock^[2]

Sometimes, I think if I can do well
The moment when I gave it a shot
as much as possible and when I accomplished
I exist in-between. Shall I make efforts?
Don't worry
The way you've run is just a process for you
Flowers too have the process,
Not the moment in bloom
That's more beautiful

The real-time spirit and mind
It's only natural that you're confused
It's a process to
make good results
You've took so many tests
This is not different
It determines your life
That is an exaggeration
So don't worry
You're doing fine
We're still young
I don't think it's the last one
We suffered in the past
But we cheered ourselves up again
You endured the hardships and adversity
Keep believing in yourself

I know we know
You can do it well don't give up
You've done so well
What are you worrying about?
Believe in yourself

Blessings wait for you for you

You must have suffered a lot
Living as you tried to be awake
Time must have passed a lot
It's on your face
You lost and won in the battle
with the numbers for 4380 days
Get out of the room
that locked you all night
You really did a good job
Let's only walk on the flowery path

I've run without a break
In the repeated tension
I chose a path that's not easy
To make flowers bloom they have to go through the winter
I hope I can see the fruits of the flowers

I'm nervous and afraid
Solve the problems on time and watch the time
Tick tock time is still left
Ring ring it's ended but I have many worries
Just please stop asking
how I did it leave my business
Cause ma markings on my papers
tell me how much pain was useless
But again
I’m just getting started
there’s always
other ways
Gotta fill up my story
this is my buffet

I know we know
You can do it well
Don't give up
You've done so well what are you worrying about?
Believe in yourself

Blessings wait for you for you

I don't know the feelings yet
Somehow I think I know the feelings
It's okay you can do well
The word gives me a lot of energy

The last rite of passage
before folding the young wings
The footsteps I've left
Where will they go?
I think the records for my days
became the foundation
For my future

It ain't over
It ain't over
It ain't over

What are you worrying about? Believe in yourself

Blessings wait for you for you
Blessings wait for you for you

Mixtape#4

Hundreds of different paths always without a solution
Confuses me with the unlimited extent
Read others' feelings by tilting my head not to look different
For fear of blushing if I take the wrong path
At some point music started
To intervene in my path and control me
I picked a new path and did as I want
When I failed, I stood up again
To those who thought I gave up, I stick out my tongue

Without knowing where the treasure island is
Lots of reefs during the long voyage in the open sea
I find my dream with a compass
Without comparing to others, I'm getting closer to my dream
When I'm asked where I want to head for, I don't have the answer
Aimless sailing, I should stop wandering
When the doubtful needle of my compass turns round and round
Whether it's against its will, it follows the sense of direction of others
When others follow that, I won't
Even if they call me a clown
Even if my compass looks broken to them
I move at my own will A real-life Jack Sparrow (Jack Sparrow)

This spot where I'm floating
Has never been visited anyone by sailing
On the deep and dark ocean
I was afraid because it was the first time (Prr-ah, hey)

When others drift away
We'll go against the current
Sailors wandering the ocean
Hoping to be a captain
Music is the ocean
I'm not lonely even if others turn away from me
As long as I stay with my heart
I lean on the broken compass Yeah

I'm floating under the moon in the dark night
Will the stars and the moon show me?
Where's my sailing heading for?
Don't I have confidence of an exclamation mark rather than a question mark?
Pull yourself together don't give up
Where you're heading for Yes right
Whatever it is, trust your choice and just follow it
You can do it I believe you
And trust you forever

Even if I'm swept by the endless current
Don't stop Go forward on my path
Even if I can be swayed
I'll never be broken^[1]

Yuh, keep looking up to the sky (Look up)
I be dreaming high up in the sky (Brr)
Without direction, follow the wind comfortably (Hey)
Trust us and go into the clouds just gotta fly
Sail across the world, this is our time
Stray Kids 9 or none, we're gonna cross the finish line
No stopping time when all we see are goals in our sights
No turning back, push forward, rise above the light

This spot where I'm floating
Has never been visited anyone by sailing
On the deep and dark ocean
I was afraid because it was the first time (Prr-ah, hey)

I often walk alone (often)
The empty ocean and desert (desert)
Looking for a road
Got no place to go like
I can't see anything
It's been a year and it's true now
Call me captain
I'll do it for my crew now
2018 that's when I started
My precious team is my compass
Even if other ships are busy moving
Only with my compass on my hand
In this wide ocean endlessly unfolding
I'm getting closer to the goal slowly

There are lots of things I can see only here
Don't regret
Yes, only if I endure
I can see everything I dreamed

When others drift away we'll go against the current (Ooh)
Sailors wandering the ocean
Hoping to be a captain
Music is the ocean
I'm not lonely even if others turn away from me
As long as I stay with my heart
I lean on the broken compass Yeah

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Yellow Wood is a space in the “labyrinth” that Stray Kids enter boldly, choosing the Road Not Taken instead of the stable and safe path.
They have nothing to fear because they believe in themselves, no matter how rough and tough Yellow Wood is. Stray Kids put all their energy into walking their own path, but they soon encounter unavoidable troubles and confusion.

The unexpected thorns on their feet in the rough dirt where no one else walks become a side effect. The recklessly courageous challenge they took on with determination causes them to think and worry, and they look back at their initial choice, wondering if it hurt more because it was so easy.

In the end, they bluntly describe their choice as “a side effect that comes up whether I want it to or not”. This is followed by a night of wondering if the have gone too far and if they will be judged for wanting to run away.
The elusive goal becomes a constant question to themselves, and the boys struggle with the “side effects”, leaving a lasting impression.
