Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stray! Stray!
In the cold breeze that I walk along
The memories of generations burn within me
Been forever since I cried the pain and sorrow
I live and die, proud of my people gaining

I'm here standing at the edge
Starin' up at where the moon should be

Stray!
No regrets 'cause I got nothin' to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Until I fall

Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!

In the white freeze, I never spoke of tears
Or opened up to anyone including myself
I would like to find a way to open to you
Been awhile, don't know if I remember how to

I'm here waiting on the edge
Would I be alright showing myself to you?
It's always been so hard to do

Stray!
No regrets 'cause I got nothin' to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Until I fall

Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!

Is there a place left there for me
Somewhere that I belong
Or will I always live this way ?
Always stray

No regrets 'cause I got nothin to lose
Ever stray!
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose
Cause all things fall

Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!
Stray! Stray!

I love the editors vocab during the mermaid pose

“Hyunjin is a mermaid now”
“Chan is also a mermaid”
“There was a mermaid here”
