Dreamcatcher's “VISION” is a battle march about a group fighting side by side to protect a future no one is allowed to break. They stand on parched, cracked ground, enduring thirst and pain, hunting down whoever caused the hurt and pushing through enemy territory in step. Underneath the defiance runs a promise to give someone a brighter tomorrow, so the mood is fierce, disciplined and quietly loyal.
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.
그 누구도 절대로 뚫지 못해 꿈의 미래Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): geu nu·gu·do jeol·dae·ro ttul·chi mo·tae kku·mui mi·rae
Meaning: No one can ever break through the dream of the future.
Words in this line- 그geuthat
- 누구도nu·gu·dono one
- 절대로jeol·dae·ronever
- 뚫지ttul·chipierce
- 못해mo·taecannot
- 꿈의kku·muidream's
- 미래mi·raefuture
Word for word: That no one ever pierces the dream of the future.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 뚫지 못해 (cannot pierce) is a military metaphor treating the dream as an impenetrable fortress. 꿈의 미래 (dream of future) is not just a wish but a vision. Together they create an image of unbreakable hope.
발을 맞춰 전진 reloadListen from this lineRomanization (as sung): ba·reul mat·chwo jeon·jin reload
Meaning: Synchronize our steps, advance, reload.
Words in this line- 발을ba·reulsteps
- 맞춰mat·chwosynchronize
- 전진jeon·jinadvance
Word for word: steps synchronize advance reload
Why it doesn't translate word for word: The literal is already close to natural English, just missing the possessive "our" that Korean's dropped subject leaves out. 발을 맞춰 is an idiom literally "match feet," meaning to move in sync with others. "Reload" is an English word kept as is, borrowed from military/gaming language.
이내 지켜낸 땅 그 위에 깃발을 들고 또 맞서 싸워Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): i·nae ji·kyeo·naen ttang geu wi·e git·ppa·reul deul·go tto mat·sseo ssa·wo
Meaning: On the land I've protected, I raise a flag and stand to fight again.

- 위에wi·eon
- 깃발을git·ppa·reulflag
- 들고deul·goraise
- 또ttoagain
- 맞서mat·sseostand against
- 싸워ssa·wofight
Word for word: Soon protected land, that over-place, flag raise and again stand-against fight.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 지켜낸 attaches as a modifier straight onto 땅, so "protected land" turns into "soon-protected land" with no clause marker, and 들고/또 chain verbs with no conjunctions in the literal version. Meaning: having defended this ground, the speaker now plants a flag on it and keeps fighting. Key words: 지켜낸 (defended/protected), 깃발 (flag), 맞서 싸워 (stand and fight back).
적이 가득한 길 위로 (yeah)Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): jeo·gi ga·deu·kan gil wi·ro (yeah)
Meaning: Along a path full of enemies.
Words in this line- 적이jeo·gienemies
- 가득한ga·deu·kanfull
- 길gilpath
- 위로wi·roupward
Word for word: Enemies fill the path upward.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 위로 fuses 위 (top) with the directional particle 로, so a literal gloss renders it oddly as 'upward' instead of 'along'. 가득한 modifies 길 (path) before the noun, Korean's normal order but clunky kept literal in English. It just means a path crowded with enemies. Key words: 가득한 (full of), 위로 (along/over).
