Growl
EXO/EXO-M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, okay (sexy) 나 혹시 몰라 경고하는데(잘들어)
지금 위험해(so dangerous)
자꾸 나를 자극하지마 나도 날 몰라

숨이 자꾸 멎는다 네가 날 향해 걸어온다
나를 보며 웃는다 너도 내게 끌리는지
눈앞이 다 캄캄해 네가 뚫어져라 쳐다볼 땐
귓가에 가까워진 숨소리 날 미치게 만드는 너인걸

아무도 널 못 보게 품에 감추고 싶어
널 노리는 시선들 내 안에 일어난 거센 소용돌이

검은 그림자 내 안에 깨어나 널 보는 두 눈에 불꽃이 튄다
그녀 곁에서 모두 다 물러나 이젠 조금씩 사나워진다
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 너 물러서지 않으면 다쳐도 몰라

날이 선 눈빛과 베일듯한 긴장감
지금 탐색 중이야 너의 주위를 baby oh
넌 그냥 그대로 있어 나만을 바라보면서
절대 널 보내지 않아 두고 봐 baby

흐린 공간속에서 선명하게 빛나는
널 노리는 시선들 내 안에 울리는 경보 울림소리

검은 그림자 내 안에 깨어나 널 보는 두 눈에 불꽃이 튄다
그녀 곁에서 모두 다 물러나 이젠 조금씩 사나워진다
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 너 물러서지 않으면 다쳐도 몰라

E X O 또 다른 늑대들이 볼세라
너무나 완벽한 내 여자라
품속엔 부드럽게 너를 안고
너만을 위해서 나는 난폭해지고
결국엔 강한 자가 얻게 되는 미인
자리가 없으니까 그냥 돌아가 (I win)
가능성 제로야 닳으니까 그만 봐
그녀를 넘본다면 나를 먼저 넘어봐

우리 말곤 하나둘씩 지워버리자
너하고 나만 여기 남아 멈춰진 듯이, 워

검은 그림자 내 안에 깨어나 널 보는 두 눈에 불꽃이 튄다
그녀 곁에서 모두 다 물러나 이젠 조금씩 사나워진다
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 너 물러서지 않으면 다쳐도 몰라




나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대
나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 너 물러서지 않으면 다쳐도 몰라

I can't breathe, you keep walking towards me


나를 보며 웃는다 너도 내게 끌리는지
You smile at me, do you feel drawn to me too?


눈앞이 다 캄캄해 네가 뚫어져라 쳐다볼 땐
When I look at you, everything else fades away


귓가에 가까워진 숨소리 날 미치게 만드는 너인걸
Your breath near my ear drives me crazy


아무도 널 못 보게 품에 감추고 싶어
I want to hide you in my arms so no one else can see you


널 노리는 시선들 내 안에 일어난 거센 소용돌이
A fierce whirlwind of desire for you rages inside me


검은 그림자 내 안에 깨어나 널 보는 두 눈에 불꽃이 튄다
A flame ignites in my eyes as a black shadow awakens inside me, looking at you


그녀 곁에서 모두 다 물러나 이젠 조금씩 사나워진다
Everyone backs away from her side, and I'm slowly becoming more aggressive


나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대
I growl, growl, growl, growl, growl, growl, growl


나 으르렁 으르렁 으르렁 대 너 물러서지 않으면 다쳐도 몰라
I growl, growl, growl, growl, growl, growl, growl - If you don't step back, I might get hurt


날이 선 눈빛과 베일듯한 긴장감
A tension like a veil, revealed in our gazes


지금 탐색 중이야 너의 주위를 baby oh
Right now, I'm exploring around you, baby oh


넌 그냥 그대로 있어 나만을 바라보면서
You just stay there, looking only at me


절대 널 보내지 않아 두고 봐 baby
I'll never let you go, just watch, baby


흐린 공간속에서 선명하게 빛나는
You shine clearly in this blurry space


널 노리는 시선들 내 안에 울리는 경보 울림소리
The sound of an alarm echoes in my mind as my gaze is fixed on you


E X O 또 다른 늑대들이 볼세라
EXO - another pack of wolves is looming


너무나 완벽한 내 여자라
You're so perfect, my girl


품속엔 부드럽게 너를 안고
I hold you softly in my arms


너만을 위해서 나는 난폭해지고
I become beastly just for you


결국엔 강한 자가 얻게 되는 미인
In the end, the strong one gains the beauty


자리가 없으니까 그냥 돌아가 (I win)
There's no room for anyone else here, so just turn back (I win)


가능성 제로야 닳으니까 그만 봐
There's zero possibility, so don't even bother looking


그녀를 넘본다면 나를 먼저 넘어봐
If you want to go beyond her, you'll have to get past me first


우리 말곤 하나둘씩 지워버리자
Let's eliminate anyone but us, one by one


너하고 나만 여기 남아 멈춰진 듯이, 워
Here, only you and I remain motionless, like frozen, oh
