ENHYPEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
첫날의 아침
조명이 비춰
태양의 눈빛
그 빛은 날 불태웠지
그 빛은 나의 눈 가렸지
But I go now 꿈을 좇아
수많은 stars 수많은 달
질문의 숲속을 헤매던 나
어둠 속의 저 빛을 따라왔어
가는 선 너머의 날 부르는 너
널 부르는 나
(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서
(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선
(Free) given or taken oh
나의 붉은 눈빛 (to you)
난 이제 세상을 뒤집어
(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌
(Me) given or taken oh
내 하얀 송곳니
Oh 난 너에게 걸어가지
두 세계를 연결하지
나의 붉은 눈빛
Oh 난 너에게 걸어가지
신세계에 닿을 때까지
내 하얀 송곳니
내 뒤엔 수천 개의 의심
내 뒤엔 수만 개의 불신
But I go now 꿈을 좇아
Drive through the question for life
주어짐과 쟁취함 사이
증명의 기로 위 남겨진 나
저 하늘을 우린 기다려왔어
가는 선 너머의 날 부르는 너
널 부르는 나
(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서
(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선
(Free) given or taken oh
나의 붉은 눈빛 (to you)
난 이제 세상을 뒤집어
(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌
(Me) given or taken oh
내 하얀 송곳니
Red blood 저 왕관에
That blood 흐르는 피
Red blood
널 향한 내 손끝은 붉은빛에 물들어만 가
But I'm gonna go
(To you) 운명의 화살 비 속에서
(To) 마주한 내 안의 경계선
(Free) given or taken oh
나의 붉은 눈빛 (to you)
난 이제 세상을 뒤집어
(To) 하늘에 내 발을 내디뎌
(Me) given or taken oh
내 하얀 송곳니
Oh 난 너에게 걸어가지
두 세계를 연결하지
나의 붉은 눈빛
Oh 난 너에게 걸어가지
신세계에 닿을 때까지
내 하얀 송곳니
The lyrics of "Given-Taken" by ENHYPEN tell a story of a journey to find a purpose while facing numerous obstacles. The opening lines describe waking up to the first day of an adventure where the sun's light shines brightly and burns the singer's eyes. Despite this, the singer follows their dreams and jumps into the red sun, figuratively representing their journey. The next verse describes the singer wandering through a forest of questions and following a light in the darkness that leads them to their destiny.
The chorus repeats the phrases "To you, To, Free" before the singer proclaims their determination to flip the world upside down and reach for the sky with their white fangs. The second verse discusses the doubts and distrusts that the singer faces, but their dreams drive them forward. The bridge uses the phrase "Red blood" to symbolize the obstacles that the singer faces, but encourages them to move forward and continue to reach for their destiny.
Overall, "Given-Taken" inspires listeners to pursue their passions despite facing doubts or obstacles, and to work towards their life's purpose with determination and perseverance.
