Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play
In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
Will come
When you will have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be the labor of my love
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust

ATEEZ' CHOI SAN NAILED THE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF WARRIORS.
From their first album to now, ATEEZ has proven themselves as Warriors for relying on themselves and organically growing to who they are now.
All their songs can be considered a 'Warrior' song in different levels and aspects of being and life if one would just listen to them and understand their lyrics.
Their lyrics have always been consistently meaningful and powerful. Coupled that with their 8000% power performances, they are truly encouraging.
They became performers because they have a message they wanted to share and be good influence to people especially youth and not just for fame or money.
ATEEZ. KINGS. WARRIORS.

You know, after all this time I still come back to this every now and again. It's still imo the best World's video Riot has made, and I don't just mean in terms of the song. This one captures the spirit of competition like no other. The others are about pros competing against each other, this one feels more relatable, it's a bunch of average joes that go from amateur to pro. The story in this MV is just unparred, it captures the struggle, the up and downs of competing. It's honestly such a moving and inspiring MV.

Same... Chills every time.
@deniss6654
I completely agree. Riots focused too much on eSports players instead of highlighting regular players.
