4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
나를 봐 점점 달아오른 몸Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): na·reul bwa jeom·jeom da·ra·o·reun mom
Meaning: Look at me, my body keeps heating up
Words in this line- 나를na·reulme
- 봐bwalook
- 점점jeom·jeomgradually
- 달아오른da·ra·o·reunheated up
- 몸mombody
달다 is 'to heat' and 오르다 is 'to rise'. 달아오르다 means to get fired up, with the body heating up with excitement.
익숙한 듯이 좀 낯설어Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): ik·ssu·kan deu·si jom nat·sseo·reo
Meaning: Feels familiar, yet a little strange
Words in this line- 익숙한ik·ssu·kanfamiliar
- 듯이deu·sias if
- 좀joma bit
- 낯설어nat·sseo·reostrange
Word for word: Familiar as-if, a bit unfamiliar.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 익숙한 means 'familiar' and 낯설어 means 'unfamiliar'. The ending 듯이 ('as if') softens the claim, so together they give the subtle feeling of 'known, yet strange' rather than a flat statement.
너는 내게 끝도 없이 replay (replay)Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): neo·neun nae·ge kkeut·tto eop·ssi replay ri·plei
Meaning: To me you're an endless replay
Words in this line- 너는neo·neunyou
- 내게nae·geto me
- 끝도kkeut·ttoend
- 없이eop·ssiwithout
Word for word: You to me end-also without replay.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 끝도 없이 literally 'without even an end', where 도 ('even/also') adds emphasis to the endlessness. 'Replay' is like a repeat button, an image of someone you mentally play again and again.
This drive, 날 똑바로 지켜봐Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): This drive, nal ttok·ppa·ro ji·kyeo·bwa
Meaning: This drive — watch me closely
Words in this line- 날nalme
- 똑바로ttok·ppa·rostraight
- 지켜봐ji·kyeo·bwawatch over
Word for word: This drive, me straight watch-over.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 똑바로 alone means straight or properly, and 지켜보다 means to watch over or observe. Together «날 똑바로 지켜봐» is a confident dare: watch me closely and don't look away. The literal version is clumsy because Korean puts the object before the verb.

How we make these breakdowns
theIDOL builds every breakdown with AI assistance and automated checks, and publishes a page only after it passes them. An AI model writes the meaning of each line and the word-by-word glosses from the song's timed lyrics. The pronunciation comes from our own rule-based Korean transcriber, which spells how the words sound when sung, sound changes included, not a letter-by-letter romanization. Pages that fail the audio-sync or translation checks are not published, and we quote only a few key lines. If you spot a mistake, write to support@theidol.ai and we will fix it.
