TOP (English Version)
Tell me something, how much higher can we go from here?
We changing the game
And they all wanna know if it is only a phase
Don't have the answer but we keep on climbing
Breaking boundaries and setting the pace
And we ain't never gonna stop until the world's our stage
Yeah, you might say that it's impossible
Stronger together, we'll turn it into probable
And in the darkest shadows we'll be shining, uh
So hold on tight 'cause we KO every single fight
I see it clear, the stairway reaching up to the sky
It seems so far away now
I wonder if I'll ever get all the way to the end
But it's a risk I gotta take
I'll keep on running all day and night
'Cause even if it kills me
Never let you go, never let you go
I won't give it up until I see the light, I go
(No turning back)
Go up
I'm not gonna fall
I'll rise 'til I reach the sky
Go up
Never let you go, never let you go
I won't give it up until I see the light, I go
SLUMP (English Version)
Where you going? It's hard to keep up
You're moving so fast, leaving me behind
Give me an hour, that's all I need
It's now or never, I'm running out of time
The seconds are relentless, I'm helpless as they keep flying by
Stuck here in the desert, I feel like I'm in an hourglass
Maybe I can stay and be comfortable living in the past
But I don't wanna be alone so can you take me to you now
Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope
We used to walk together down this winding road
But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up
And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold
Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode
Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white
Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo
I'm afraid I'm gonna be left stranded by myself
All the foolish dreams I had inside of me are broken
Everything I wanted in the distance out of reach
Am I the only one that's gon' stay here forgotten, ayy
So many thoughts are inside of my head
I'm always drying these tears on my face
How could I ever get used to the fact that
The songs and the lyrics, they all sound the same
"Come on, I know you can do it"
I have to repeat it again and again, yeah
I wanna look in the mirror
Telling myself that I did a good job, ayy
Everyone gonna be watching
I gotta show 'em all of me
But I've been insecure lately
'Cause I don't know what they want from me, ayy
Feeling so nervous, I wanna go forward
But everyone else overtaking me
Blocking my vision, my body is shaking
I don't know if I can keep up, yeah, yeah
Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope
We used to walk together down this winding road
But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up
And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold
Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode
Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white
Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo
ABOUT THE OST / DIGITAL SINGLE
“TOP” is the opening song of the anime “Tower of God” and “SLUMP” is the ending theme song.
The two songs were also released as a digital single in English and then in Japanese (with the additional instrumental version of both songs).
“SLUMP” was written by Han just as he was getting out of his own slump, feeling stuck about writing music.

SLUMP
Lyrics: Han
Music: Han, Bang Chan
This song is about feeling stuck in a difficult or challenging situation and longing to break free from it. The lyrics talk about the feeling of being left behind, of not being able to move forward and of being alone despite being surrounded by people. The song describes a continuous state of being out of step and not fitting in. It talks about feeling helpless and paralyzed as these circumstances seem to be out of control, but it also offers hope in finding the strength that leads to seek a way out.
