MANIAC
STRAY KIDS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go
정상인 척 다들 힘 좀 빼
짓고 있는 미소들은 쎄해
Lock이 풀리면 다 똑같지
눈은 날 못 속여 ho!

본체는 풀렸네 (yup, yup)
정신을 간신히 잡지 (yup, yup)
눈 한번 깜빡이고 back
다시 세상이 정한 정상인 코스프레 준비 pow

Mash up, mind blown 정신은 back up
Prototype 내 속은 언제나 freaky monster
유행 같은 친절함은 철이 지나 rotten
내 통수에 다 시원하게 욕해도 다 먹금

Poppin'
순진하게만 보다가 크게 다침
호의가 계속되면 권리인 줄 아네 toxic
이러니 돌지 warning

Maniac
나사 빠진 것처럼 미쳐
Maniac
핑핑 돌아버리겠지
Maniac
Frankenstein처럼 걸어
Maniac, maniac (ha-ha)

Maniac (oh)
나사 빠진 것처럼 웃어 maniac (you can't stop this smoke)
핑핑 돌아버리겠지 (thick as fog)
Maniac (oh)
비정상투성이 집단 (we're maniacs)
Maniac, maniac

다 터진 인형 실밥처럼
Hah! 결국 본색이 드러나지
편하지 않은 이 life
It ain't "Live", It's "Holding on", yeah

정상인 척 다들 척 좀 빼
짓고 있는 미소 no fresh 해
Locket 풀면 다들 똑같지
눈은 날 못 속여 ho!

(Ugh) 내가 걷는 이 거리는 다 지뢰밭
다 언제 터질지 모르는 dormant volcano
얌전했던 바람도 언제 바뀔지 몰라
다들 숨긴 채 살아가 like a sealed tornado

Poppin'
순진하게만 보다가 크게 다침
호의가 계속되면 권리인 줄 아네 toxic
이러니 돌지 warning

Maniac
나사 빠진 것처럼 미쳐
Maniac
핑핑 돌아버리겠지
Maniac
Frankenstein처럼 걸어
Maniac, maniac (ha-ha)

Maniac (oh)
나사 빠진 것처럼 웃어 maniac (you can't stop this smoke)
핑핑 돌아버리겠지 (thick as fog)
Maniac (oh)
비정상투성이 집단 (we're maniacs)
Maniac, maniac

가득해 두 눈은 lunatic
모든 감각이 날 서 있지
예쁘게 포장한 대로 매번 가둬 놓으니
흘러가다 보면 결국 드러나겠지
숨겨진 내면의 그 모습이 yeah

Maniac
Maniac (maniac)
Maniac
(Maniac, maniac) you cannot stop with this feeling (ha-ha)

Maniac (oh)
나사 빠진 것처럼 웃어 maniac (you can't stop this smoke)
핑핑 돌아버리겠지 (thick as fog)
Maniac (oh)

Overall Meaning

In Stray Kids' song MANIAC, the lyrics express the idea of people trying to act normal in society but then ultimately falling back into their true selves. The lyrics describe the pressure of the world to conform to normalcy and how people put on a façade to fit in. However, once the lock of their true selves is opened, everyone becomes the same. The verse "Prototype 내 속은 언제나 freaky monster" suggests that the singer is different from others and has a monstrous personality, which is unlike the typical prototype of society. The chorus repeats the word "Maniac" while stating that they are crazy and will go mad, much like a "dormant volcano" that will eventually explode. Being a maniac is to embrace one's true self, even if it is unconventional and different from societal norms. The lyrics "내 통수에 다 시원하게 욕해도 다 먹금" also suggest that the individual is unaffected by harsh words as they embrace their inner maniac.


Furthermore, the song's lyrics also imply the idea of being "sealed tornadoes," where people conceal their inner selves to fit into society, but the pressure eventually builds up, and they explode like a tornado. The lyrics also mention a "life that is not live but 'Holding on'," suggesting that people in society are only living because they are holding onto their fake realities, unable to express their true selves. In summary, the song MANIAC's lyrics are about embracing one's true self and letting go of what society tells them to be.
