Exo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She got me going crazy
왜 심장이 뛰니
넌 아름다워 나의 Goddess
닫혀 있지 yeah, yeah
두드릴 테니 날 들여 보낼래 (oh-eh-oh)
감춰진 스릴을 줄게
눈동자의 호기심에
이미 넌 빠져들었고
Don't be afraid
Love is the way
Shawty, I got it
You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe
뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜
그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해
널 망쳐 놓을 거야
니 맘속에 각인된 채
죽어도 영원히 살래
(Come here, girl)
You call me monster (you call me monster)
니 맘으로 들어갈게

She got me going crazy
(Oh yeah, she got me)
왜 심장이 뛰니 (oh yeah, oh yeah, she got me)
내가 좀 성격이 급해
그닥 온순하지 못해 (널 미워했어)
하지만 너를 원해
That's right, my type
가슴은 거짓말 안 해

시작됐어 내 안에서
위험한 신호를 보내
Don't be afraid
Love is the way
Shawty, I got it
You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe
뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜
그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해
널 망쳐 놓을 거야
니 맘속에 각인된 채
죽어도 영원히 살래 (come here, girl)
You call me monster
니 맘으로 들어갈게

전율이 와 니 삶을 다
뒤집어 버리는 게
I'm sorry, you make me so crazy
You know you do

모두 날 두려워해 so I'm untouchable man
근데 네 진심은 왜 결국에 날 거부 못해
숨어서 훔쳐보다가 깜짝 놀라지 (who?)
네겐 안티노미 같은 난 네 존재의 일부 (how we do?)

날 그대로 받아들여
너의 두려운 걱정은 접어 두렴
니가 견딜 만한 고통을 누려
더 깊이 빠져들어

널 맘대로 가지고 놀아
내 손에서 맘껏 놀아
도망가지 마 넌 영원히 맴돌아 brah
You can call me monster

I'm creeping in your heart, babe (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
뒤집고 무너트리고 삼켜 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
그래 널 훔쳐 탐닉해
널 망쳐 놓을 거야
니 맘속에 각인된 채
죽어도 영원히 살래 (come here, girl)
You call me monster
니 맘으로 들어갈게

Creeping, creeping, creeping




Creeping, creeping, creeping
You, oh whoa, creeping

Overall Meaning

Exo’s “Monster” is a song about being willing to do anything to get the person you want, even if it means becoming a monster. The lyrics talk about the singer’s desire and attraction towards their “goddess” and how they will do anything to be with her. The chorus repeats the phrase “You can call me monster” which can be interpreted as a warning about how the singer is willing to change and become something frightening to be with the one they love. The lyrics also talk about the power of love, with the line “Don't be afraid, love is the way” suggesting that the fear of transformation and becoming a monster is worth it for the sake of love.


The music video for the song also features dark imagery, with the members of Exo dressed in black leather and appearing in a dimly lit, abandoned warehouse. The choreography is sharp and powerful, emphasizing the “monstrous” nature of the song. Throughout the video, the members display their impressive dance skills against a backdrop of flashing lights and dramatic camera angles.

People told us that EXO was getting old and their time has come to an end. People left the fandom because they didn't believe that EXO would keep their sh*t together after three members left. People hated on EXO-L's saying that we were the worst fandom. People told us to give up on EXO because they weren't popular anymore.

BUT LOOK AT US NOW PEEPZ. WE DIDNT GIVE UP, EXO DIDNT GIVE UP. EXO SLAYED THIS COMEBACK AND BROKE THEIR OWN ALBUM RECORD SALES AND MV COUNT SALES AND THEY ARE NO 1 IN MUSIC CHARTS IN ASIA. THEY GOT A LOT OF HATE. A REAL EXO L STICKS WITH EXO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. THERE'S A REASON WHY WE ARE ONE, THERE'S A REASON WHY WE SAY EXO SARANGHAJA, OR EXO-K + EXO-M +EXO-L=<3, BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT WE GO THROUGH, EXO WILL ALWAYS BE ONE. AND I AM PROUD TO CALL MYSELF AN EXO - L, BECAUSE WE FREAKING SLAYED THOSE HATERS AN SLAYED THOSE DOUBTERS.LETS MAKE IT 20 MILLION BY THE END OF THIS WEEK GUYS :)

EXO-K+EXO-L+EXO-M=<3
EXO SARANGHAJA
WE ARE ONE

I am so happy to be part of such a cozy, well rounded fandom:')

AND TO ALL OF THOSE FAKE FANS THAT LEFT EXO BEFORE BUT HAVE DECIDED TO LIE THAT THEY WERE TRUE FANS FROM THE BEGINNING AFTER THIS COMEBACK. YOU CANT CALL YOURSELF A TRUE FAN BC YOU DOUBTED THEM AND YOU ARE A LIAR. YOU ARE NOT AN EXO-L IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS OKAY TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE SUPPORTED THEM FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN IN REALITY YOU LEFT THE FANDOM, SO DONT EVEN THINK OF SAYING HOW YOU'RE PROUD OF THEM WHEN YOU CALLED THEM OUT AFTER OVERDOSE OR EXODUS. YOU CAN STILL BE A FAN, BUT PLEASE DONT LIE. EXO-L's DONT NEED LIARS HERE, GO BACK TO THE GROUP THAT YOU LEFT EXO FOR



@Windtorment

I saw this on OH today, and I felt even more proud to be a part of this "Worst Fandom" Called "EXO-L" .. All Credits goes to that girl who worked hard to make this huge list and proved the haters that Exo is the best boyband and they are the Legends.They are not the "Second bigbang" but they are the "Legends" of their own.

So brace yourselves to read the long list of Exo's acheivements.....
