STRAY KIDS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
차례로 올라가서 커지는 scale
Umm 시도와는 엄연히 다른 내 도전은 여럿 도장을 깨
Umm 가리는 거 없어 싹 다 토핑해서 씹어 먹어
(땡땡땡 피자) 음? 프랜차이즈 본점처럼
나를 본땄네 그래 다들 예의 주시해
시선 고정해 아닌 척 다 곁눈질로 yeah
숨길래도 티가 나지
뱁새들의 전쟁
속에서 황새는 귀찮네
Setting up my ambitions
하나둘씩 완성돼 I made it
Now it's time for ignition
나부터 시작돼 뒤따라 움직여 도미노 효과
Oh, oh, oh
더 불을 지펴
Oh, oh, no
모두 몰려와 now, now
줄 세워 여기 다
누구도 예외는 없어
한번 까딱하면 domino
Domino, domino, domino
Domino, domino, domino
한번 까딱하면 domino
Domino, domino, domino
Domino, domino, domino
Dan dan dan dan
Play 갖고 놀아 손짓 하나로 다 attention
Pay attention
I don't play (play) 웃음기 싹 빼고 크게 일으켜 sensation, yeah
Like domino
Ey 도미노 툭 치면 무너져 후드드드드
Yuh 우르르 쾅 입김만 불어도 다 부서져 blah, blah
Okay 끝까지 노 저어, 내 별명은 불도저
다들 넘어져도 포복 자세로 날 따라 follow
유머 한방에 주변 다 배꼽 잡아 넘어가
아재 개그 부장님은 낄끼빠빠 빠져라
하나를 알면 열을 알던 아이
고개 한번 까딱하면 백만 스무고개 넘어가
Setting up my ambitions
하나둘씩 완성돼 I made it
Now it's time for ignition
나부터 시작돼 뒤따라 움직여 도미노 효과
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, no
모두 몰려와 now, now

The lyrics of Stray Kids’ song “Domino” explore the idea of setting goals and achieving them. The song starts with the line “Do re mi fa sol la ti do,” which refers to the musical scale that gradually rises in pitch. The next lines “Umm, my challenge is different from trial and error. I break several seals” suggest that the band is not afraid to take on tough challenges and break through many barriers to achieve their goals. They are not afraid to show off their abilities, as the next line “There’s nothing to hide, top it all off and chew it up” suggests.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the band is aware of their critics and is determined to show them that their hard work and dedication will pay off. The lines “In the middle of the battles of the crows, the stork is tired of it all” suggest that they are aware of the envy and negativity of their competitors, but they will not let it bring them down. They will continue to move forward with their goals and aspirations.
Overall, the song “Domino” is an empowering track that encourages listeners to set their goals high, work hard to achieve them, and not let the opinions of others hold them back.

Ey 도미노 툭 치면 무너져 후드드드드
Ey, if you hit the domino, it collapses with a hood
Yuh 우르르 쾅 입김만 불어도 다 부서져 blah, blah

Okay 끝까지 노 저어, 내 별명은 불도저
Okay, plow till the end, my nickname is bulldozer
다들 넘어져도 포복 자세로 날 따라 follow
Even if everyone else falls, they follow me in a prone position
유머 한방에 주변 다 배꼽 잡아 넘어가
With one joke, I make everyone fall down laughing
아재 개그 부장님은 낄끼빠빠 빠져라
Old man jokes, head of department, everyone falls for it
하나를 알면 열을 알던 아이
If I knew one, I knew ten as a kid
고개 한번 까딱하면 백만 스무고개 넘어가
If I give the slightest nod, a million games of 20 questions follow
Oh, oh, oh

살짝 건들면 억지로 튕겨
If you touch it lightly, it bounces back unnaturally
봤자 뻔히 보이지 결국엔 쓰러져
It's obvious even when you see it, eventually it falls down
나를 보는 표정들을 다 못 숨겨
Can't hide all the expressions looking at me
괜히 지금 맘을 시기 질투로 표현 (oh)
Jealous expression for no reason, expressing feelings (oh)
Hey
Hey
끝나지 않는 내 domino
My never-ending domino
One by one, go down, down, down, down
One by, go down, down, down, down
One by one, they follow
One by one, they follow
