TRI.BE vi da loca

미친 듯 뛰어 놀고 싶은 사람 여기 여기 붙어라
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

Yah, uh, huh, I wanna ride, uh, uh, huh
그냥 여길 미친듯이 망가뜨리고 파 uh, huh
Wanna go up high, um 왜냐 물으면 난 uh, huh
I'm young and wild, I'm on fire
죽이는 vibe 내일은 없으니까

Waterfall waterfall 흘러내려 폭포수
몸 가는 대로 click click 하고 pose
You know what I mean
손 잡히는 대로 마구 던지는 투수
Cua cua like a goose (goose)
주저 말고 여기 붙어봐
Yeah, we're gonna party like (like)
오늘 이 밤이 마지막인 것처럼 babe

여기 푸른 바다 위 저 캄캄한 sky
가끔 길을 잃어도 ay
그 어느때보다도 자유로워 난
더 위로 날아 우주로
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

여기 여기 붙어라 yah yah
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

I know you want it, babe
머릿속 모든걸 버리고 do it, babe
두 손을 높게 들고 say ay
And that's what I like, yeah




Oh, la, la, la, la 뭐가 문제야
Oh, la, la 지금 여긴 축제야
다같이 왼손 들어 그런 다음에 오른발 쓸어
고개 들고 두발 뒤로 두발 뒤로
못하겠음 앉아서 들어

Wake up in the morning
날 괴롭히던 고민 doesn't matter
느껴지네 마치 magic 꿈을 꾼 듯이 oh honey
쏟아지는 햇빛에 눈을 감은 채
내 손을 잡고 우리 날아 갈래
날개를 펴 in your mind

여기 푸른 바다 위 저 캄캄한 sky
가끔 길을 잃어도 ay
그 어느때보다도 자유로워 난
더 위로 날아 우주로
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

발을 더 세게 굴러봐 like me
내가 딛는 곳마다 음악이 돼
어둠이 깔리고 해가 질 때
울림은 커지고 난
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

여기 여기 붙어라 yah yah
뛰어봐 더 세게 rub-a-dum, dum, dum

I know you want it, babe
머릿속 모든걸 버리고 do it, babe
두 손을 높게 들고 say ay
And that's what I like, yeah

Oh, la, la, la, la 뭐가 문제야 (hey)
Oh, la, la 지금 여긴 축제야 (hey)
Rub-a-dum, dum, dum, dum, rub-a-dum, dum, dum, dum
미친 듯 뛰어 놀고 싶은 사람 여기 여기 붙어라

Crazy Theory
After watching this, and knowing that they revealed there's a lore in their music videos, I have a story theory: The girls in the Doom Doom Ta mv were aliens.

There are 2 groups of girls, one from earth and one from another world. The choreography in this video ended with the girls making a circle, just like planet earth's shape, and there were lots of natural landscapes so we know this happens on earth. But in the DDT choreography, they started with a triangle shape, and there were many pyramids and triangle-shaped things throughout the video, so maybe the other world is triangular.

The girls from the triangle world are hunters, and they have the power of traveling between worlds by making fire triangles (we saw that at the end of the DDT video and in minute 2:39 of this one) looking for perfection and trying to steal it (the DDT lyrics are about jealousy). So what I think that happens is that the aliens from the triangle world came to earth, met the tri.be girls and thought they were perfect, so they stole their identities (2:52 During the dance battle, Mire was facing another Mire, but then one of them turned into Hyunbin, so we know that the aliens are also shapeshifters).

If my theory is right, then the story they are telling is about copycats vs real girls, fighting to get their identities back.

Edit: Thank y'all so much for the likes and kind words, what a nice fandom :)
