It looks like purple line
My path appears vibrant and energetic, full of possibilities


Gotta introduce myself
I must assert myself and make my presence known


I cannot even touch anything
I feel trapped and unable to connect with the world around me


Captured in my own imagination
I am imprisoned by my own thoughts and fantasies


I can't even make a single move
I am paralyzed by fear or indecision


Sometimes it feels like even hoping for a miracle is pointless
Occasionally, my circumstances seem so dire that even optimism feels futile


When my own heart lacks strength, I cannot move forward
If I do not have a strong sense of self, I am incapable of making progress


Let me set up my world!
Allow me to establish my own unique identity and lifestyle


No one has walked this way before
I am on an entirely new, uncharted path


Continuing to search for a way to hold my dreams and live my life
I am determined to find a way to pursue my goals while staying true to myself


My progress, my way
My advancement in life will be tailored to my preferences and values


With strong emotions, I will show that I can overcome obstacles
I will prove my resilience and fortitude through passionate determination


Every time I face a challenge, my heart feels out of control
Many obstacles seem overwhelming and cause me great emotional turmoil


I say to myself, 'push through it, keep going'
I motivate myself to persevere, even when the going gets tough


Let's create this moment and engrave it in our hearts

I am confident in my ability to achieve further success and eagerly anticipate it


Don't give up and keep pushing forward with my goals
I am determined to persist and stay motivated in the pursuit of my aspirations


Our world is full of contrast, both light and dark
Our environment and experiences are multifaceted and contain both bright moments and difficult obstacles


We must move forward on the path that we believe in
We retain autonomy over our own identities and must choose the path that best aligns with our values


We keep shouting with passion from the depths of our souls
We remain passionate and determined, even amidst adversity


Our time to excel is ongoing
Our lives contain infinite possibilities to continue striving for our dreams

fun fact: the line " I really wanna touch myself " was actually supposed to be " I really wanna be in touch with myself " but SM ent. thought that it was too long of a line and didnt go with the song rhythm so they cut the line to "I really wanna touch myself" and Yoochun said he didnt like the line but its in the song so what can ya do xD
