Helicopter
CLC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I make hella noise for the take off
I go up, helicopter
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
칠해 매일 매일 매일 난 그려 내 내 내
작은 호기심부터 시작한 내 그림 속에
누구나 아는 건 없어
다 이뤄내도 난 아직 부족해
새로운 goal 시작해 또 I wanna go
I'm in the zone, I'm in the zone 더 자유롭게
I want it more, I want it more 하늘에 닿게
Fly 개척해 보일 chance 지도 너머
Nobody's ever been
Now let me show you shining road
I spit it out 처음 느낀 낯선 기류 끝에
내 심장은 온통 never stop 더 높이 오르고
늘 궁금했던 하늘까지 yeah
Feeling so good, feeling so good yeah
기다려 온 기다려 온 순간을 노려
멀리 반짝인 shine 몰래 전해진 sign
숨 가쁘도록 뜨겁게 higher
I go up, helicopter
Then I make hella noise for the take off
I go up, helicopter
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
내게 몰아칠 바람 so danger
유혹하듯 내게 손짓해 rise up
Helicopter never give up, ooh
I'm a pilot
Go outta control, outta control
That's what I want
Go outta control, outta control
That's what I want
어제보다 먼 세상 너머로
하루만큼 더 눈부시게 날아볼래
I go up in the sky
뛰어넘어 다녀 시공간
이 순간을 위해 난 모든 걸 바꿨네
베일에 싸인 밤 어려운 날 지나
I'm gonna make it big, no doubt
빛날 수 없는 별은 없어 놀아
At the top umm umm umm
I'll figure it out 차가워진 비바람 so easy
꿈꾸던 순간을 향한 shout 곧 잡힐 듯한 star
가능성을 열어두지 yeah
Feeling so cool, feeling so cool yeah
느낌이 온 느낌이 온 순간을 노려
멀리 반짝인 shine 몰래 전해진 sign
난 뼛속까지 타고 난 flyer
I go up, helicopter
Then I make hella noise for the take off
I go up, helicopter
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
깊은 어둠 속 뒤엉킨 laser
어딜 향할지 알고 싶어 go up
Helicopter never give up
Ooh I'm a pilot
(Ooh) here we go, here we go now
(Ooh) where're we goin', where're we goin' now
(Ooh) here we go, here we go now
(Ooh) where're we goin', where're we goin' now
I go up, helicopter
Then I make hella noise for the take off
I go up, helicopter
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
내게 몰아칠 바람 so danger
유혹하듯 내게 손짓해 rise up
Helicopter never give up, ooh
I'm a pilot
The lyrics of CLC's song HELICOPTER are about striving for greatness and never giving up, no matter the challenges that may be faced along the way. The first lines of the song state "I go up, helicopter / Then I make hella noise for the take-off," which is a metaphor for taking off towards one's dreams and goals. The chorus repeats the lines "Never give up, ooh like a pilot," emphasizing the importance of perseverance and determination. The verses detail the singer's ambitions and determination to achieve them, with lines like "I'm in the zone" and "Feeling so good." The lyrics also touch on the idea of breaking free from limitations and following one's own path, with lines like "Go outta control, outta control / That's what I want."
The lyrics are also filled with imagery that adds to the overall message of the song. For example, the line "깊은 어둠 속 뒤엉킨 laser" (loosely translated as "a laser tangled in deep darkness") adds to the idea of overcoming obstacles and persevering in the face of difficulty. Additionally, the line "Fly 개척해 보일 chance 지도 너머 / Nobody's ever been / Now let me show you shining road" highlights the idea of forging one's own path in uncharted territory.

I go up, helicopter
I am going up in a helicopter
Then I make hella noise for the take off
Then I make a lot of noise during the takeoff
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
I will never give up, just like a pilot
I go up in the zone, I'm in the zone, more freely
I enter a state of deep focus and concentration and feel more free
I want it more, I want it more, to touch the sky
I have a strong desire to achieve my dreams and reach new heights
Fly, show the pioneering chance beyond the map
Fly and explore new opportunities that have never been seen before
Now let me show you shining road
Let me guide you towards a bright path
I spit it out at the end of the strange flow I first felt
I express my feelings after experiencing a new and unfamiliar situation
My heart never stops climbing higher
I feel like my heart is continuously climbing higher and higher
Yeah, all the way to the sky I always wondered about
I've always been curious about what it would be like to reach the sky
Feeling so good, feeling so good yeah
Feeling amazing and ecstatic
I'm aiming for the moment I've been waiting for
I'm striving for a moment I've been anticipating
A secretly conveyed sign that shines from far away
A sign that is communicated in a subtle way and shines from a distance
Breathing hotly, flying higher
I'm breathing quickly and heavily, flying to new heights
The wind that will rush at me, so dangerous
I know the wind that will come rushing at me can be dangerous
Rising up, beckoning me like a temptation
Rising up to tempt and beckon me to pursue my dreams
Go outta control, outta control
I want to go beyond my limits and be out of control
Yesterday's world, beyond that
I want to go beyond yesterday's world
I changed everything for this moment
I have sacrificed and made crucial changes to reach this moment
Passing through space and time, jumping over it all
I'm passing through the boundaries of space and time by jumping over them
The veil of the difficult night will pass
The struggles and difficulties of the night will soon dissipate
I am going to make it big, no doubt
I have no doubt that I will achieve great things
There are no stars that can't shine, play
I can do anything I set my mind to
Yeah, the possibility is opening up
A new world of possibilities is opening up to me
Feeling so cool, feeling so cool yeah
Feeling really cool and confident
I'm aiming for the moment I feel
I'm striving to reach the moment I've been longing for
A secretly conveyed sign that shines from far away
A hidden sign that shines from a distance
I'm a flyer to the bone
I was born to fly, it's in my bones
Deep darkness entangled by laser
I'm surrounded by darkness and laser lights
I want to know where I'm headed, go up
I want to move forward and discover my destination
Here we go, where're we goin' now
I'm ready to go on this journey, where will it take me?
Never give up, ooh like a pilot
I will never give up on my dreams, just like a pilot

I think Yujin is better at promoting her group than her bad agency.
@aroojali835
Ikr after her appearance on the show many new people are interested in clc but its so disappointing that cube is dismissing clc😭
@mashihodpotatoetm4572
Tbh, I think the Fu Yaning issue was the one that led to Yujin and CLC blowing up. If it weren't for that issue, Yujin would've just been another pretty face and prominent dancer. But that would just be my opinion.

I love how the first thing Seo Eunkwang did after joining Cube’s board of directors is to give CLC a proper promotion, even MCed their showcase and give this fandom official colors after 5 years. Everyone, say thank you BTOB’s Eunkwang!
