MEGAVERSE
Jumping between every verse
The multiverse ain't ready for our universe
(Jump Force)
First second third fourth wall
We're breakin' them all, unbeatable score
Our composition brings the competition
But we've already won in this MEGAVERSE
Get your feet moving
Get your tongue working, let it pop
Pop pop pop this place is all ours
Popstar festa we will never get down on our knees
Slap on the knee, slap on the hеad
Those who yelled at us, all just shut up
Rеplay the scene every 0.1 seconds
Jaws drop in disbelief
Speechless, wordless
I don't need your kindness
Only after spitting out my words
Do I feel good and satisfied
Here we come (두두)
Open your ears
Better prepare a big bowl or else
The tears of admiration will spill over
Welcome to the Stray Kids HOT MEGAVERSE
STRAY KIDS
Welcome to the Stray Kids HOT MEGAVERSE
Got the mic, here comes a big one Hold up high Atlas
Swallow up everything in sight make ours every song form MEGAVERSE
It's an obvious ending eventually see the end of it Megatron
Influence amplified, whisper into the megaphone
(Woah)
Gather up, spread around hooligans
Let it storm out of the way
Point a gun at the mouth talking nonsense, click
We make the rules, nobody can hold me yeah
Can't resist hearing, listen and remember
Move over, I'm in charge now, it's a new chapter
Next one, my word, power keeps growing
Hit the high peek, then go random ey
See me rise, I came from down below
Struggled to get to this point ey
Now I'm way up here
Like I said, my place is at the top
Speechless, wordless
Mouth hung open, don't know where to look
You know we're getting fearless, reckless
Our music echoes through the galaxy
Hey we act the way we think, the way we feel
Listen and do the same, we make it real
Every time we move
The universe will follow
Welcome to the Stray Kids HOT MEGAVERSE

사각지대 BLIND SPOT
Shouting on a dark night
It's okay if no one knows what I look like
After the shining finish line, a downfall
I hid my fallen self so no one could see it
Living carefreely, they say (they say)
Running under the darkened sky, becoming evil (evil)
All these moments are filled in my memories (filled in my memories)
I came this far crashing head-on, confidently yeah yeah
They only look at the results and success
Blinded by our glowing process
What you see isn't everything
Hidden in the blind spot
Show them what you're made of
Your endless nights deserve a loud ovation
Shine bright and prove them wrong
'Cause we can feel our progress
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a difference
In the approaching light
It feels like we're almost there
I'm still there in the blind spot
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
At the end we've been hoping for
When we get closer
We'll meet outside the blind spot
Even in this moment, even if no one notices
I ain't gonna stop oh no no no
Even if failures linger in my eyes, hiding all my fears
I'm just gonna stomp and let it go
The invisible blood and sweat, that's where I am in the process
This is a battle with myself, protecting myself
The bright moon above the night sky where the sun rises and sets
Seems like it's like us, rising while hiding the darkness
They only look at the results and success
Blinded by our glowing process
What you see isn't everything
Hidden in the blind spot
Show them what you're made of
Your endless nights deserve a loud ovation
Shine bright and prove them wrong
'Cause we can feel our progress
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a difference
In the approaching light
It feels like we're almost there
I'm still there in the blind spot
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
At the end we've been hoping for
When we get closer
We'll meet outside the blind spot
Creating treasures in this lightless lonely night
(I'm fine, never giving up)
In this place where the spark ignites
The light we've created eventually shines
It's time to light up, start now
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a (hey)
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a (hey)
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a (hey)
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
Shining, we are the champions
Trying to make a
Shining, we are the champions
Dying to live for greatness
COMFLEX
(Ooh) I'll show you my gaps, this is the beauty of blank space
(Ooh) Tons of talents, no thanks
I just need one master key
No greed for all colors, I picked and earned a black belt
Fearlessly press the stopwatch
Start right away, there's no answer in just worrying
As you see, just as it is
If you keep going, it'll unfold infinitely
Try me, judge me
'Cause I don't give a sh
The way you look at my book cover
I ain't triggered, by all means
Embracing all my scars and imperfections
Turn the tide all my cons are my pros now
Flexing complexes just COMFLEX
Too bright I'm so flashy
Different? No I'm unique
That's right I'm so classy
Nobody can stop me
Complex
Showing everything as it is, all COMFLEX
Living satisfied, no pointless complaints
Flaws are charms too, COMFLEX COMFLEX
Tilt your head crookedly, it touches the shoulder (shoulder)
So much talk about my bad manners, but look at my skills (skills)
Applause comes naturally, with this level of flaws
You need them to have humanity, that’s my COMFLEX
Kick it away, my shortcomings are my strengths
If you step on me, you'll bleed, like a hexagonal thumbtack
Awakened by the cries of my weaknesses
While others are busy hiding, I reveal everything and grow
Try me, judge me
'Cause I don't give a sh
The way you look at my book cover
I ain't triggered, by all means
Embracing all my scars and imperfections
Turn the tide all my cons are my pros now
Flexing complexes just COMFLEX
Too bright I'm so flashy (ooh)
Different? No I'm unique (ooh)
That's right I'm so classy (ooh)
Nobody can stop me
Complex
Showing everything as it is, all COMFLEX
Living satisfied, no pointless complaints
Flaws are charms too, COMFLEX COMFLEX (ooh)
Showing off my weakness
I'm not gonna hide it
Look how shiny it is
This is my pride, got it? (yeah)
No need to erase it, It's so beautiful though
Polish and brighten it (yeah that is what I want)
Even if everyone frowns, I don’t need to care
Combine complex & flex, COMFLEX
Not being perfect is all it takes
'cause we're perfect
Nothing can make the standard,
show us some respect
Not being perfect is all it takes
'cause we're perfect
Love me the way I am
Flexing complexes just COMFLEX
Too bright I'm so flashy
Different? No I'm unique
That's right I'm so classy
Nobody can stop me
Complex
Showing everything as it is, all COMFLEX
Living satisfied, no pointless complaints
Flaws are charms too, COMFLEX COMFLEX (ooh)
가려줘 Cover Me
Why do I feel so lonely in this night?
Is the dawn wind a kind of magic?
The starry night hanging on the window
I toss and turn in that bright light until daybreak
In the loneliness I can't understand
Sitting here, waiting for you who doesn't come
In the endless wandering that blooms countless times
Dizzy, I need someone to hold me, no, no, no
I don't know
What I should do
Even if I force a smile
On a night when the moon is so dazzling
I shout for someone to block that light
On a day when the night has suddenly turned to morning
Accept the light that shines warmly
Needle in a haystack, find me
I'm not lonely, but everything is so cold
If the hand of that light would lean toward me
Melt the frozen emptiness I've endured
Yeah, I tried to hide away from all the sorrow and pain
But little did I know that I was going insane
The sun will always be there, waiting after the rain
I'll close my eyes and try to smile while looking at the sunlight
I don't know
What I should do
Even if I force a smile
On a night when the moon is so dazzling
I shout for someone to block that light
On a day when the night has suddenly turned to morning
Accept the light that shines warmly
I can't take it anymore, what should I do?
(What should I do? What should I do?)
Today, just pretend you don't know and close your eyes
So, cover me now
Cover me now
On a night when the moon is so dazzling (Oh)
I shout for to someone cover me from that light (I shout for to someone cover me)
On a day when the night has suddenly turned to morning (Oh, no, no)
Accept the light that shines warmly (the light that shines)
Leave
Oh, baby, please don't hurt me
Don't make me cry
Though I still got love for you
And haven't got over you yet
Oh, baby, please stop for me
Don't you cry anymore
This is the end for you and me
Yeah, we're done
Let the lingering emotions slowly fade away
Sadness before the pain, the affection before that
Don't know how I can go on without you, this is what I'm really feeling
Couldn't open up, the words came out cold
Tried to piece the puzzle togеther based on mutual understanding
But lovе is not enough to overcome our differences
We realize only after getting cut by the sharp edge
That we weren't meant to be I am me and you are you
You have nor yet really bloomed
When the new season comes
I hope the warmth will make you bloom
Into a flower that never dies
The empty feeling inside
Can't seem to hide it
Right next to me on the bench
A leaf comes falling down
I'm afraid, I'm in pain, I'm okay
Can't seem to hide the empty feeling inside
Sitting on the bench
A lonely leaf sits right next to me
Oh baby please don't hurt me
Don't make me cry
Though I still got love for you
And haven't got over you yet
Oh baby please stop for me
Don't you cry anymore
This is the end for you and me
Yeah we're done
Say good morning to the moon again
The world has stopped but time goes on
Hate myself withering through the night
Hate myself blindly searching for you
This is for the good of each other
I have to be responsible for the words I said
I'm sorry
Scars scathed into both of us
I walk alone under the falling starlight
Hold the tears until right before they fall
Barely holding on to my falling heart
No use trying to piece together the fragments of my heart
I'm afraid, I'm in pain, I'm okay
Can't seem to hide the empty feeling inside
Sitting on the bench
A lonely leaf sits right next to me
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
I'm missing you
Oh baby please don't hurt me
Don't make me cry
Though I still got love for you
(And haven't got over you yet)
Oh baby please stop for me
(Don't you cry anymore)
This is the end for you and me
Yeah we're done
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
I'm missing you
Social Path (feat. LiSA) (Korean ver.)
For my future
I just want to
Rise up stronger
Where am I right now, now, now, now?
In the endless long night, night, night, night, night
The day is breaking, the next one is coming
I won't miss it
(Now or Never)
I've given up a lot
If it's the youth everyone talks about
I've endured countless temptations
If you thought lightly of me
You're wrong, like the ore in a blast furnace
A metal getting tougher
I stand more firm, more resoluted
Towards the moment that will nеver come again
I know it's gon' be lonely
'Cause everyone keeps turning me down
Countless new surroundings
Cold eyes keep looking me down
I'm still in the crowd, alien of the town
Yeah they want me to give up right now
They're making me laugh it's so loud
Waking the demon that's hiding inside
You only get to live one life I know I'm ready
Take that chance no matter what they tell me
I cannot explain this feeling
Yeah this path was meant to be my dream
Look back, the ashes prove my
Passion always burns eternally
No regrets, I love this feeling
Down on this road, call it the Social Path
I'm tossing, turning in my bed
Them voices in my head again
I gotta shake 'em off now
(Now or Never)
Never knew I'd see so many people
come and go
I see the mirror, it's only me
Evil thoughts taking over, I'mma let it go
I fight myself, it's only me
I know it's gon' be lonely
'Cause everyone keeps turning me down
Countless new surroundings
Cold eyes keep looking me down
I'm still in the crowd, alien of the town
Yeah they want me to give up right now
They're making me laugh it's so loud
Waking the demon that's hiding inside
You only get to live one life I know I'm ready
Take that chance no matter what they tell me
I cannot explain this feeling
Yeah this path was meant to be my dream
Look back, the ashes prove my
Passion always burns eternally
No regrets, I love this feeling
Down on this road, call it the Social Path
No way back to the past, I'll step ahead
Go right in front of me
Even if the torn blueprints push me away
I'll run up there, as it was originally
Standing in my place, facing it, barefoot
Even if the night comes again, I will rise up
Gave up my youth
For my future
I just want to
Rise up stronger
I'm gonna look back, the ashes prove my
Passion always burns eternally
No regrets, I love this feeling
Down on this road
Call it the Social Path
