Keep your head down
U-know time (max)

You know what time it is
This is return of the king
(모두 끝나버렸다) 난 시작도 안 해봤는데
(헤어져 버렸다) 난 이유조차 못 듣고
주변 사람들 모두 하나같이 날 보고
너 왜 그래 왜 그래 왜 그래
난 이미 나쁜 놈

(죄라면) 널 사랑한 게 죄라면
(그게 죄라면) 진실했다는 게 죄라면
(나는 keep it low 나는 keep it low)
난 참아내고 내 자릴 지켜

(Keep your head down) 넌 정말 예쁘지만
너무 다른 너의 속이 난 너무 두려워
(Keep your head down)
사랑했다 하지만 난 이제 널 놓겠다

(왜) 날 그렇게 쉽게 떠났니
(왜) 내가 쉬워 보였던 거니
(왜) 내 가슴은 찢어지잖아 yeah yeah (wow)

(왜) 모두 한 순간의 꿈이었다면
(왜) 바로잡을 시간이 있었다면
(왜) 제발 네가 행복하길 바랬다 yeah yeah

나 언제나 언제나 너를 가진 걸로 충분했고
세상이 뭐래도 같은 꿈을 꿔서 행복했고
지금은 널 보내게 됐지만
어차피 내 길을 갈뿐이고
Now I'm just chillin'
Feel like I'm healing

늦어버렸다 넌 다시 돌아갈 수 없단다
네가 없다면 난 무너질 거라 믿겠지
예전부터 넌 그건 착각이라고
내가 왜 그래 왜 그래
왜 그래 널 타일렀잖아
Hey 난 정말 정말 슬펐다
철이 없던 네가
혹시라도 나쁜 사람 만날까 why baby

(Keep your head down) 넌 정말 예뻐 근데
그뿐이야 네 가슴에 중요한게 없는 걸
(Keep your head down) 사랑의 아픔을 참는
가슴에 못 박고

(왜) 날 그렇게 쉽게 떠났니
(왜) 내가 쉬워 보였던 거니
(왜) 내 가슴은 찢어지잖아 yeah yeah

(왜) 모두 한 순간의 꿈이었다면
(왜) 바로잡을 시간이 있었다면
(왜) 제발 네가 행복하길 바랬다 yeah yeah

하 그렇게 너 사람 갖고
장난 장난 치지 마라
내 앞에선 요래조래 거짓말만을 늘어놓고
누가 봐도 누가 봐도 넌 정말 이중적이야

(왜왜왜) 수정 같던 마음들이 언제 그렇게 탁해졌니
사랑을 끝냈다 널 보낸 가슴이 텅 비워졌다
하지만 내 미래는 마치
일어나서 웃으라고 손짓한다
너를 보낸다 정말 행복하게 살아 (왜왜왜)
먼 훗날에 먼 훗날에 그냥 편하게 웃고 싶다

하하 하하 uh 하하
(왜) 왜
(왜) 사랑을 그렇게 쉽게 놔버리는 너를
(왜) 누군가 걱정할거란 생각은 해봤나
(왜) 니가 놔 버린 게 너는 뭔지
(왜) 아직 모르는 것 같아
(왜) 그대로 머물러 나를 지켜봐 yeah yeah

(Keep your head down)
지워졌다 사라졌다
내 가슴에 니가 죽어 모두 타버렸다
(Keep your head down)




지워졌다 사라졌다
내 가슴에 니가 죽어 너는 이제 없다

(It's all over) Even though I haven't started
It's over, before I even began, and I didn't even hear the reason for our breakup


(We broke up) Without even knowing why
Everyone around me is giving me looks, asking why I am acting like this already. I am already considered a bad person.


Why is loving you a sin?
If loving you is a sin, then what was truthful about my confession and feelings for you?


(If that's a sin) If being honest is a sin
I'll keep it quiet and just hold my ground


I endured it, and I guarded my position
Although I am sad, I will do anything to keep my status and keep my cool


(Keep your head down) You're really pretty, but
You're beautiful, but I'm afraid of your heart and what lies within


(Keep your head down) I loved you, but now
I can't continue to love you this way and, therefore, must say goodbye


Why did you leave me so quickly?
Why did you think it was fair to leave me without an explanation?


Did I look easy to overlook?
Am I so easy to forget that you left so quickly without even listening to my feelings or reason for our breakup?


My heart is torn to pieces, yeah yeah
My emotions are shattered, and I'm heartbroken

I hope you find happiness, despite our split


I've always been content with just having you by my side

Even if the world opposed us, I was happy because we had the same dream
We were happy together even if we faced the world's opposition and obstacles because we were united in our vision.


Now I'm just chillin'
I'm just relaxing and taking it easy now


Feels like I'm healing
It seems like I'm getting better from all the pain I once had


It's too late, you can't come back
I know it's over, and there's no chance of reconciliation.


I believe if you're gone, I'll crumble
I feel like I can't live without you by my side. I know that it's irrational and overdramatic, but that's how I feel right now


You've always mistaken things from the past
You were always confused and never truly understood what was going on before.


Why did you think I was acting insane?

Why did I do that to you?
Why did I hurt you so much? It was reckless and dumb, and I regret it.


Hey, I was really sad, really really
Why wasn't I patient enough? I was hurt and needed someone to be there for me.


Why did you lack conviction?
Why were you so indecisive and unable to make up your mind?


Could you be meeting bad guys for all I know? Why, baby?
Are you meeting people that will negatively affect you? Why did you leave without telling me properly?


(Keep your head down) You're really pretty, but

There's nothing important in your heart but love's pain
Your heart is full of sadness and heartache, and you can't see anything past your pain

You're holding onto pain, and it's not allowing you to heal and move on

Did I look easy to overlook?
Did I make things too easy for you to end things so quickly?

(Why) If there was a way to fix it
If only there was a way to right my wrongs and make everything right,


(Why) I just wanted you to be happy
I just want you to be happy, even without me.


Hey, don't play around with someone else
Don't toy with someone's feelings like this, especially after what we had together.


You blatantly lied in front of me
You were being deceptive and dishonest, right in front of my face.


It's obvious to everyone that you're two-faced
It's clear to everyone that you have multiple personalities and are not genuine.


(Whywhywhy) When did hearts, like crystals, become so opaque?
When did hearts fog up and become like a crystal that's not transparent anymore?


I ended my love, my heart is empty
I broke up with you, and it left me feeling empty inside


But my future looks bright
Even though I'm struggling, I'm hopeful that things will turn out better.


I'm telling you goodbye, hoping you'll be happy
Saying goodbye breaks my heart, but I hope it brings you joy.


(Whywhywhy) Someday, someday I just want to smile freely
Someday, I hope I can smile without any pain and be genuinely happy.


Ha ha ha ha uh ha ha
This part may not have any meaning but just for aesthetic purposes


(Why) Why?
Why did you leave so easily?


(Why) Have you ever thought about someone worried about you?
Has it ever occurred to you that others worry about you and your wellbeing?


(Why) What have you let go?
What did you give up that was so important to you?


(Why) I still don't know
I'm still struggling with these questions and don't have any answers.


(Why) Just stay by my side and watch over me
Just be here with me, and I'll have the strength to carry on.


(Keep your head down)
Watch your back and be on your guard at all times.


You've been erased from my heart
I've erased you from my memory and moved on previously


(Keep your head down) You've been erased from my heart
You're no longer in my heart emotionally.


You've withered away, and my heart has burned down
You are no longer a part of my life, and my heart has been scarred and hurt because of that.


(Keep your head down) You've withered away, and my heart has burned down
I'm not angry with you, but I'm still hurt and sad because you're no longer here with me.

13 years ago TVXQ! came back as a 2 members group and stronger than ever with Keep Your Head Down. Today it's still for me the most memorable and impressive comeback ever in the whole K-Pop history. 👏🏻🎉🎂

@glitchyglitchy3925

Hearing this song and watching this MV again makes me a little sentimental. Back then, absolutely nobody thought they would continue on as two. Everyone thought the lawsuit would be the end of TVXQ. But then they released this song and showed that they weren't going anywhere. What incredible dedication by the two of them to keep TVXQ alive for so many years, and they didn't just continue keeping the name alive but continuing to give incredibly powerful songs and performances all this time. I have been very happy to be their fan.

@hommefataltaemin

Truly legendary. A new era for them. Seriously this will forever be an iconic song in kpop history !!

@ghofranelaouar1164

Despite it was an era when they lost the rest of the members.. but they really made a legendary comeback
