Exodus
EXO- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My queen
날 지배하는 너
Oh yeah stand up! 외쳐도 결국엔 답은 no
부서진 내 맘의 조각이 반짝반짝 해
빠져들었고 출구 따윈 없었고
결국엔 제 자리 또 길을 잃어가 난
타는 저 해가 져 그렇게 너는 더욱 눈부셔
어느새 난 눈이 멀어버려
내 앞에 타오른 불길조차 보이지 않아
천천히 타들어가
이 모든 건 꿈 넌 잔인한 queen
그 아름다움 뒤 가시 감췄으니
Dangerous dangerous, she's so dangerous
깨지 않는 꿈 그 안에서 핀
긴 외로움을 꺾고서 달아나리
Exodus exodus, it's my exodus
Stand back! 외쳐도 내 맘의 도미노
쓰러져 가는데 넌 고갤 까딱까딱 해
더는 뭘 해도 되돌릴 수 없었고
깊어진 한숨에 난 힘이 빠져가 girl
머릿속 너는 shock 어디를 가도 네가 들려와
어느새 난 귀도 멀어버려
그 무얼 말해도 너밖에는 들리지 않아
틈 없이 사로잡혀
이 모든 건 꿈 넌 잔인한 queen
그 아름다움 뒤 가시 감췄으니
Dangerous dangerous, she's so dangerous
깨지 않는 꿈 그 안에서 핀
긴 외로움을 꺾고서 달아나리
Exodus exodus, it's my exodus
넌 투명한 유리의 성벽 보석처럼 빛나다
네 안에 나를 가둬
너에게 미친 난 이러다 미처
피하지 못할 병에 걸려
She's dangerously hot
네 달콤한 품 난 나약한 king
너 아닌 모든 걸 전부 잃었으니
Dangerous dangerous, she's so dangerous (she's dangerous)
날 가둔 네 품 저 너머의 길
그 빛을 향해 난 너를 탈출하리
Exodus exodus, it's my exodus

The lyrics to EXO-M's song "EXODUS" depict a relationship where the singer feels bound and controlled by their partner, referred to as a queen. The singer acknowledges that despite their efforts to break free and find an exit, they are ultimately lost and trapped. The burning sun fades, emphasizing the dazzling nature of their partner. The singer describes themselves as blinded and unable to see even the flames that rise in front of them. They feel like everything is a dream, with their partner being a cruel queen who hides her thorns behind her beauty. The chorus repeats the word "dangerous" to emphasize the toxic and suffocating nature of the relationship. Despite the loneliness they experience, the singer's desire to escape and find freedom strengthens, leading to the exodus mentioned in the title.
