Key lines
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.
받아들여 느낌대로 가Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): ba·da·deu·ryeo neu·kkim·dae·ro ga
Meaning: Accept it, go with the feeling
Words in this line- 받아들여ba·da·deu·ryeoaccept
- 느낌대로neu·kkim·dae·roas you feel
- 가gago
Word for word: Accept, feeling-according-to, go
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 「느낌대로」 = 「느낌」 (feeling) + 「대로」 (according to) forms the fixed phrase "go with your gut". Combined with 「받아들여 가」 it's not about logic — it's about trusting instinct.

Meaning: I want to go wild up there
Words in this line- 저jeothere
- 위로wi·roupward
- 날뛰고nal·ttwi·gorampaging
- 싶어si·peowant to
Word for word: There upward rampage want oh
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 저 위로 literally 'that, upward' just means 'up there'; 날뛰다 literally 'run and jump' is the idiom for 'go wild, rampage'.

- 어eouh
- 어eouh
- 어eouh
Word for word: This chaos inside-through crossing-over uh uh uh.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: Straightforward meaning, no idioms; '어 어 어' is rhythmic filler, not a word with independent meaning.
내 감각은 소문난 꾼 앞서가는 촉Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae gam·ga·geun so·mun·nan kkun ap·sseo·ga·neun chok
Meaning: My instincts are a legend, always one step ahead

- 꾼kkunexpert
- 앞서가는ap·sseo·ga·neunahead of the curve
- 촉chokhunch
Word for word: My sense-topic rumored-become expert ahead-going hunch.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 꾼 is a suffix for a skilled expert, 촉 is slang for sharp intuition, not literal 'touch'; the line compresses 'instinct' into an expert always ahead of the game.
