Countdown
NCT DREAM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah you know what time it is
This one's gonna be explosive

한 번 불 붙이면 끝을 보지
확 터져버릴 그때까지
누가 우릴 막아 show is ready
Top floor딛고 sky까지
We're upgrading

불꽃이 튀는 순간 시작되는 countdown
완벽히 잠들었던 이 공간을 깨 흔들어

느껴져 closely
더 헐거워진 안전핀 yeah yeah yeah
꽉 묶인 난 control freak
풀린 그 순간 yeah yeah yeah

꿈결 속에 아른대던 장면들이
불길처럼 눈앞에 확 번질 테니 hoo, hoo

일 초가 일 분 같던 찰나가 영원 같던
까맣게 애태운 그 시간을 지나

터질 듯 달아올라 난 지금
We the bomb 'bout to blow 불 붙여봐

We might explode 갇혔던 꿈
타올라 더 my mind go boom
Our time goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick (ey ey)
더 뜨거워, 터질 듯 뜨거워
Now we're so dangerous
Yeah we're so dangerous

Yeah, you know, you know, you know
뭘 고민해 이미 멈출 수 없는 playing
파편이 되어 빗발친
Something like thrill ooh ooh ooh
What's crazy?
부서진 cage 치솟는 gauge
We're so crazy now
이건 마치 화염 위로 쏟아진 missile
아무리 터뜨리고 태워내도 끝없는 기분

반응한 맘을 따라 무너진 너의 fire line
걷잡을 수도 없이 번져온 순간

더 이상 물러설 곳은 없어
We the bomb 'bout to blow 불 태워봐

We might explode 갇혔던 꿈 (갇혔던 꿈)
타올라 더 my mind go boom (my mind go boom)
Our time goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick (keep on ticking of my heartbeat babe)
(Ey ey) 더 뜨거워, 터질 듯 뜨거워
Now we're so danger

이 순간을 기억해 (기억해)
초침 소릴 들어 봐
뛰는 심장 속에 들이쳐
요동치는 저 시간 끝에서
우린 충돌할지 몰라 0초가 된 그 순간

Get it down, get it down
Get it down, get it down, down, down

빠르게 바뀌는 빨간 numbers on the board
0이 되는 순간엔 어쩔 수 없는걸
I've been waiting for this time
터져버릴 듯한
마음 이 정도면 오래도 참았어 tic toc

Tic tic tic toc
Everybody get down
뒤로 빠져 휩싸여
위험해 진짜로
Tic tic tic toc
Four, three, two, one
끝나버린 countdown
Drop a bomb on you baby, oh

We'll all explode 바로 지금
터질수록 커지는 꿈
Our time goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
내 안의 날 깨워
Now we're so dangerous (yeah)





Yeah we're so dangerous
Now we're so dangerous
