Exodus
Ofln - EXO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, babe oh oh
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
