Ateez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up (ay, yeah)
Drr, drr
Okay, okay, okay, oh
선도부다 wait wait (yes, sir)
손들어라 wait wait (yeah yeah)
나쁜 건 나빠 man (yeah yeah)
Hold up
널 이끄는 황야의 리더
Hold up
나쁜 건 나쁜 거 아입니까
Wait a second, woo
숨이 턱까지 딱
아파 내 맘
아픈 데는 빨간약
소리는 악
따가워 소리 질러
오늘도 nah
나쁜 건 나쁜 거다
위에 더 위에
서 차렷 서 집합해 yeah
전부 내 뒤에
쉿 조용 쉿 따라 해 (yeah yeah)
집중해 지금
내 시도가 도시를 바꿔놨지
그 말마따나 조용히 시키는 대로만 하면 돼
용기 패기 객기
몸엔 black suit and tie
오른팔엔 완장 tight
롤리 대신 롤리팝
지금부터 긴장 빡
선도부다 wait wait (yes, sir)
손들어라 wait wait (yeah yeah)
나쁜 건 나빠 man (yeah yeah)
말 들어 뉴 꼰대 (yes, sir)
Hold up
널 이끄는 황야의 리더
Hold up
나쁜 건 나쁜 거 아입니까
무슨 말을 해
안타까운 게
하나도 안 멋져
중2병 같아
내 몸에 딱 맞는 옷이 제일 예뻐 aye
무슨 이름값 그런 거 안 믿어
체크카드 들이밀어
지금 이 순간 부로 모두 임명하노라
We are the leaders (we are the leaders)
선도해 every day, every night, every
Whatever, going it up
고이 모셔
Yeah, I'm the leader, both captain
남달라 성이
멋대로 줄 세워도 우린 항상 처음이지
기준 앞뒤 좌우로 나란히
다 정숙해 정숙하고 손들어 찔리면
너는 겉멋이 죄 너는 언행이 죄
별점 받기 전에 벌점이 답인 애
후덜덜 손바닥 맴매
난 여기까지만 선생님
몸엔 black suit and tie
오른팔엔 완장 tight
롤리 대신 롤리팝
지금부터 긴장 빡
선도부다 wait wait (yes, sir)
손들어라 wait wait (yeah yeah)
나쁜 건 나빠 man (yeah yeah)
말 들어 뉴 꼰대 (yes, sir)
Hold up
널 이끄는 황야의 리더
Hold up
나쁜 건 나쁜 거 아입니까

The lyrics to ATEEZ's song "The Leaders" convey a sense of power, confidence, and a rebellious nature. The song starts with a commanding intro, emphasizing the wait and the order to raise hands. The lyrics go on to describe the leader as someone who guides others through the wilderness and questions whether bad things are truly bad.
The second verse talks about the pain felt deeply inside and how it requires a strong remedy. The sound is described as wicked and cold, and the singer declares that even today, bad things are just bad. The lyrics then portray the leader as someone who stands at the top, leading and gathering everyone behind them with silence and obedience.
The bridge of the song highlights the leader's determination and audacity, wearing a black suit and tie, a badge on their right arm, and substituting a lollipop for a Rolex watch. The lyrics further emphasize their commitment to lead and bring about change.
