Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
볼륨은 더 turn it up
느껴볼래 free heart
Ya ya 약간 다르게 풀어가 느낌 we are
딱 보면 나잖아 기깔
One, two, three, four, five, six 뭐든 다 골라봐
아직이란 말 (말) no, no
난 버럭 we show that brr brr
우린 바라보지 world wide
떨어볼래 건방
Set it, set it, set it on fire
처음 보는 맛
레시피는 비밀스럽게
우리가 전부 모인 순간 소란스러워 yeah yeah oh oh
The time is just right now (oh)
그럭저럭 같은 거 말고 삐까뻔쩍
빠른 심장 소리만큼
Yeah, we just rock on
달려가 볼래 지금 발자국 울려 리듬
우린 황혼에서 새벽까지
먼지 쌓인 구름 위
바람마저 gloomy
혼란한 저 어둠이 활개 치는 이 밤
애꿎은 마른 사막 위
헛 헤엄치는 닻 아아
Uno
Oh who knows
주사위 굴려
더 크게 더 굴려
We roll up

롤러코스터야 어지러워
나를 놓치면 dangerous
하나만 말해, 하나만 원해
하나 마나 한 것 말고
오로지 gimme the one (one)
Gimme the one (one)
답이 없단 말
Okay 내가 만들 거야 paradise
숨 가쁘게 지나가면

i swear this has got to be the best k-pop song i've heard in my entire life. those soaring synths, the cyberpunk feel, the propulsive future bass beats, the oriental-sounding, wandering riff in some parts. This is cyber galore
YG_iKONIC
No one realizes that and its sad
Keep It Keita
I TOTALLY AGREE. AND THE VOCALS ARE OUTSTANDING
kangsungtic
and i swear this is the best comment i've ever seen ㅠㅠ

This is a masterpiece ! What strikes me the most with this band is that they always have great album tracks that are even better than the title album song ! "Seoul" is a fantastic track but UNO is even better ! This band should have more recognition ! I love the dark side of their imagery ! It's so engrossing !!! And Son Junhyung is the most handsome Korean boy I have ever seen ! He's so perfect, he is the embodiment of Korean beauty !!! Their synth pop sound is their trademark and they should explore this sound in their next albums ! I love the arrangements and the techno dance beats. I am entirely fond of the distorted electro sounds reproducing the mechanism of factory machines that illustrate their mysterious dystopic universe.

I just hate it to know that this masterpiece will remain underrated for a long long time. If only people will wake up and realize how good GHOST9 is... I really wish it would be that way...
Su Yee Sia
