English lyrics

GIANT

People think I'm big but I'm small
I ain't satisfied with the goals
Looking at my dreams, still they grow
They give my scale a name, do-re-mi-fa, "King Giant"
The influence I hold is my weapon, so listen closely to my words
The venom in my eyes shows, the size of my bowl is on another level
I just worked hard like a little ant
I overcame the pain and became a giant

They call us "God of Gods"
To use our powers that we hold
For their own desires, watch them explode
Almost, almost, almost, our presence is that of a giant
No, no, no, it's true, and yet not true at the same time
We got a place to go, we got places to flow
I am not satisfied, I want it more

I'm a giant (Call me, call me, call me, call me, call me)
I'm a giant, crushing worlds below
I'm a giant (Call me, call me, call me, call me, call me)
I'm a giant, brushing off the lows

Run, run, run before we come, come, come
Burn, burn, burn 'cause we're not done, done, done
Run, run, run before we come, come, come
I'm a giant, crushing worlds below

Nobody's up there, this game's easy to play
I can cover the sky with my hand like I said
Yeah, my sneeze is a typhoon, ah-ah, achoo
Even if you run, you get swept away, I see nothing, not even in my sight
A tiny giant on the stage, the culprit with dilated pupils
Dust gathers to form a mountain, my steps overwhelm the pile
The head once bowed in discouragement now bows like ripe grain
Overcoming 20 hills, grand self exploration

They call us God of Gods
To use our powers that we hold
For their own desires, watch them explode

I'm a giant (Call me, call me, call me, call me, call me)
I'm a giant, crushing worlds below
I'm a giant (Call me, call me, call me, call me, call me)
I'm a giant, brushing off the lows

Cross the mountains, break all the pain
World's in my hand, oh, oh
We go overseas, our bodies become gigantic
Even if it's rough, we smile, no risk sticks to us
Some call it reckless, but to me it's courage, I'm fearless, scarless, this is our palace

I'm a giant (Woo)
I'm a giant (Woo, woo)
Brushing off the lows

Run, run, run before we come, come, come
Burn, burn, burn 'cause we're not done, done, done
Run, run, run before we come, come, come
I'm a giant, crushing worlds below

Burnin' Tires

On the street
The burning tires keep rolling

Floor the gas, more aggressively
The RPM is surging
Every day is a big race, it's D-day
Just go for it, full speed ahead right now
Burning up the track bba ra ba bba ra ba bba ra ba bba bbam

I'm not tired tired tired
Among so many feels, goodbye to tiredness
Tire tire tire my two feet keep moving, no time for breaks
Fire fire fire even if friction sparks flames, nothing's damaged
Even facing headwinds, I spread my arms wide
Been going off track breaking rules since 2018

I'm runnin' on the street
You'll never feel this way
Don't disturb me, just look at me
The burning tires keep rolling
Like a stage effect
I don't know where the end will be
Rollin' rollin'

Bba ra ba bam I'm running until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way
Bba ra ba bam I'm burning until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way

A lap around the earth
Then a second lap
Even after the third lap
My wheels aren't worn down
The unstoppable speed
My throat's burning up
My BPM keeps climbing
My heart continues to boom

Racing down an unpaved road
I tighten up my shoelaces
And instead loosen up my reins
Out of breath but never out of drive
A massive truck out of control
Who would stop me, even I can't stop myself
I'm up for anything
Should I? Should I not? Go or stay?
Do I? Don't I? Whenever you're hesitating, just play this song

Bba ra ba bam I'm running until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way
Bba ra ba bam I'm burning until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way

Rolling on the street rolling on the street
The sun goes down and night falls, but I can't stop
Rolling on the street rolling on the street
Chasing stars I never had, all night long

Bba ra ba bam I'm running until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way

Bba ra ba bam I'm running until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way
Bba ra ba bam I'm burning until the end
Bba ra ba bam get out of my way

I'm runnin' on the street
(Bba ra ba bam I'm running until the end)
You'll never feel this way
(Bba ra ba bam get out of my way)
Don't disturb me just look at me
(Bba ra ba bam I'm burning until the end)
The burning tires keep rolling
(Bba ra ba bam get out of my way)
Like a stage effect
I don't know where the end will be
Rollin' rollin'

Truman

I sketch visions of my future
But sometimes the wrong shades slip in the picture
Feel like a failure, a loser
But oh my god reminds me, I'm human
Head high, I keep on moving
Living real, like Truman
I'm the true man

We're all same
No difference
Fail, fear, bad days make me more different
I born freak
This is my own movement
We don't care, cause we are blessed

I don't play you know we keep it hundred
Cop coppin' all that shhh whenever I want it (Ooh, ooh)
It's that, it's that beast mode, as Rengar calls it
Got trophies in the bag 'cause of STAY, we lock in (Yeah, yeah)

Ride a Benz, raise my hands, salute fans
Gas is running, hit the pedal we going fast
We so advanced we the first and the last
We so advanced we the first and the last

Woke up 5AM tryna catch a plane we don't waste time
Since I was a kid, young ambitions got me out of school
No more following orders, now I make my own rules
Still got that fire, bright and shining like a jewel (Yeah)

This is our crew (Our crew)
We'll show what's new (What's new)
We got the juice (Woo)
We got the moves (Yeah, yeah)
Let's groove tonight alright
Got LV shoes
You wouldn't know what I'm about (Let's go, ayy)

Working our way up, we go (Go)
Cooking up races, I know that we
Taking our time like Charles Leclerc (Woo)
I masticate all of my enemies
Call me Pac-Man I eat up the road (Grr)
I'll finish you like I eat the last chip
In the bag like you got nothing to show
That's how I roll

I don't play you know we keep it hundred
Cop coppin' all that shhh whenever I want it
It's that, it's that beast mode, as Rengar calls it
Got trophies in the bag 'cause of STAY, we lock in (Yeah, yeah)

Ride a Benz, raise my hands, salute fans
Gas is running, hit the pedal we going fast
We so advanced we the first and the last
We so advanced we the first and the last

Way out punk, they often yawn pretending like it's usual, no consideration, empty (Ah)
Stick your nose in an empty dish and practice what you doin' now, attention son
Playing puppet? Holding my stomach, trying not to laugh, you done? (You done?)
Okay okay you said it's fancy
I can see your lies (Ah)
Blink and they're falling behind crying
Look at you, you were the one talking big
Lotta pain but I keep my attitude I spit out the dagger in my throat and jump up (Oh)
Lay down my line is oblique
This system full of wisdom
Don't tryna follow us, long distance
Our eyes still shine crimson

I don't play you know we keep it hundred
Cop coppin' all that shhh whenever I want it
It's that, it's that
Beast mode, as Rengar calls it
Got trophies in the bag 'cause of STAY, we lock in (Yeah, yeah)

Ride a Benz, raise my hands, salute fans
Gas is running, hit the pedal we going fast
We so advanced we the first and the last
We so advanced we the first and the last

The world's turning to ashes there's no way
Cold stares, the devil's gestures huh so many reasons to get ruined
Like magic if I stop the time
I'll stand before you let's run way hold my hand
Bu turning myself up

Just follow me, I'll lead, night and day
In exchange for this pain, can you promise me
To show your love for me every day oh

Them shackles and them chains you're free to take 'em off

Let me take you to a place that nobody even knows
Them shackles and them chains you're free to take 'em off

Escape now

CINEMA

When there was nothing left beside me
through the dim lights
You came and sat by me and at the moment
With the black out the door opened

When this light goes down
Story starts to rise up
Through the gaps of passing fates, today's curtain opens
Never stop writing down
Until I capture the best scene
I won't let go

This is our CINEMA
Let me be your CINEMA
This is our CINEMA

In this film tape
Our image is captured
So that it doesn't fade away I'll remember
I'll cherish it for a long time
For every moment
I'll sing with you

When this light goes down
Story starts to rise up
Through the gaps of passing fates, today's curtain opens
Never stop writing down
Until whenever it is

OH OH OH

Everyone's shouting
Everyone's clapping
In this stadium, CINEMA
Til the end of the show
Never let it go
Yeah I need you
Yeah you need me STAY...

Here the light shines again
Ending credits going up
You and my name together on it
With the final curtain call

And now night after night
When you cannot find your way
I'll be waiting
Welcome to our CINEMA

The release also features new unit songs, specially prepared for STAY, which highlight different musical styles.

GIANT

Lyrics: 3RACHA, Yohei

Music: 3RACHA, Chae Kang-hae

This track is an anthem that captures the spirit of ambition and resilience. Through powerful imagery and metaphorical language, the song communicates the struggle and drive to overcome obstacles, encouraging listeners to embrace their own strengths. It serves as a reminder that greatness often requires hard work and dedication, and that anyone can rise to become a “giant” in their own right, regardless of how the world perceives them. The energetic beat and motivational lyrics make it a compelling call to action for those pursuing their dreams.

BURNIN’ TIRES

Lyrics: Changbin, I.N
Music: Changbin, I.N, RESTART, Chae Kang-hae

It’s bold, electrifying anthem that channels a powerful industrial vibe with a raw, rebellious energy. The track blends elements of early 2000s garage rock revival with a modern twist, evoking the unpolished, DIY ethos of the underground music scene. The industrial soundscapes are paired with Stray Kids‘ signature unorthodox rap style, creating an intense, chaotic atmosphere that propels the song forward with relentless speed.

Changbin and I.N’s vocal filters, combined with the frenetic instrumentation, set a pace that perfectly mirrors the themes of resistance, freedom, and unyielding motion.

TRUMAN

Lyrics: Han, Felix
Music: Vendors (Helixx), PEACH.L, Han, Felix

This is a track that explores themes of identity, self-awareness, and breaking free from constraints. inspired by the Truman Show, a film about a man unknowingly living in a fabricated world, the song delves into feelings of being trapped in expectations and the desire to discover one’s true self.

Lyrically, “Truman” speaks to the pressures of living under the scrutiny of others, whether imposed by society, fame, or personal fears, and the yearning to break free and take control of one’s own narrative.

Musically, it’s a lazy hip-hop song that exudes intense energy, it is characterized by a sensual sound intro and contrasting rapping over a rough beat. It contains a message of moving forward confidently towards success and constantly challenging and overcoming as a team.

ESCAPE

Lyrics: Bang Chan, Hyunjin
Music: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, VERSACHOI

This is a track that embodies themes of liberation, longing, and emotional struggle. The song tells a story of breaking free from constraints—whether emotional, societal, or personal. It carries an underlying sense of urgency, reflecting the desire to escape from a suffocating reality and find solace in a different world.

The song depicts a journey of running away from pain and seeking refuge, possibly with a loved one. it conveys the feeling of wanting to leave behind everything that holds one back, searching for freedom in an unknown but promising destination.

Musically, the song blends alternative R&B with elements of rock and electronic sounds. the track features dreamy electric guitar riffs, layered harmonies, and a driving beat that intensifies the feeling of urgency. The combination of soft, haunting melodies and powerful instrumentals creates a dynamic listening experience, making it both introspective and anthemic.

CINEMA

Lyrics: Lee Know, Seungmin
Music: Seungmin, Lee Gi-hwan, CONA

This song is a stunningly intimate ballad that blends rock ballad influences with a sweeping cinematic soundscape, creating a mood that is both grand and personal. The combination of emotive melodies, dramatic instrumentals, and the heartfelt performances of Lee Know and Seungmin results in a powerful song that feels like a personal reflection on life and friendship. It’s an ode not only to their own shared journey but also to the fans who have stood by them through it all.
