Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will fight for you, ooh la
나를 불러 네가 맘이 아플 때
내게만 털어놔 누굴 원하는데
시간을 돌려줄까
마음을 갖다 줄까
잊을 수 없을 땐 가져야 하잖아
나를 믿고 따라 해봐
그는 내게 돌아온다
시간은 너의 편
넌 그냥 기다려라
그가 널 울린 만큼
내가 다 울려줄게
째깍 째깍 다 이뤄지리라
가질 수 없다면 그냥 널 위해 살겠어
얼마든지 너라면
다칠 준비가 돼 있어
이제부터 잘 봐 내가 뭘 하는지
너라면 한 몸 아깝지 않은 나
이름만 대 누구든
내가 다 데려올 거야
째깍 째깍 다 이뤄지리라
안길 수 없다면 날 밟고 일어서
누구도 함부로 널 못 대하게
어떠한 이유라 해도 넌 내가 필요하다
널 위해 싸우는 인형이 돼 줄 나
아픈 눈을 질끈 감고
너를 위해 달려간다
제발 나를 떠나지만 마라
네가 원하는 건 다 가져다줄게
째깍 째깍 다 이뤄지리라
망가진다 해도 너의 손끝에서라면
온 세상의 눈물을
다 흘릴 내가 여기 있어
이제부터 잘 봐 내가 뭘 하는지
너라면 한 몸 아깝지 않은 나
이름만 대 누구든
내가 다 데려올 거야
째깍 째깍 다 이뤄지리라
Should I go should I stay
Nobody knows whoo
Should I go should I stay
Nobody knows whoo
Yeah 지옥의 문을 열어라
그녀를 눈물 흘리게 만든
죄인아 피눈물 흘려라
불러라 저주의 노래 네
내면에 감춘 분노들을 말해 봐
내 육신은 널 위한 제물이돼
네 행복에 나를 바칠게
웃는 너의 얼굴 한 번이면 족해
내가 대신 다 해 네가 바라는 것
내 남은 시간들이 줄어든대도
누가 됐든 잘 봐 그녈 울리지 마
더 이상 잃을 무엇도 없는 나
그 누구도 모르는
내 가슴속의 슬픔은
째깍 째깍 다 사라지리라
Should I go should I stay
Nobody knows whoo
Should I go should I stay
Nobody knows whoo
다 이뤄지리라

It saddens me to know that nowadays boy groups won’t go through intense emo stages like this
@Hai_..
1) ur watching in 2020 too?😂😭
2) true
@Goldigga5
K-pop in general is just playing it safe lately. Back then groups would experiment in order to stand out but that's a rate sight lately.
@n_doublel_y4577
Luckily there is Vixx who can still literally kick the door with a possession concept for example
@hanumsalsabilla8333
Yeahh dude I lowkey want my favorite groups to do a concept like this for their comeback one day, but I guessed it'd never happen
