VERSE 1 (Softer, introspective) They want the face, they want the mask 얼굴을 원해, 이미지를 원해 (They want the face, they want the image)
Want me fast, breaking under weight 내가 만들지 않은 누군가 (Someone I didn't create)
In the mirror, I don't recognize 내가 누구인지 모르겠어 (I don't know who I am) The version that they idolize PRE-CHORUS (Building tension) But then you came Without a name Just... 봤어 (you saw me) Dancing in the dark 내 움직임을 읽어줬어 (You read my movements) Like a map to the only real part CHORUS (FULL PRODUCTION DROP) Only you, only you 내 진짜 모습을 봐줄 수 있는 건 너뿐이야 (Only you can see my true self) Only you, only you 숨겨진 나를 사랑해주는 건 너뿐이야 (Only you love the hidden me)
I was drowning in a thousand eyes But you never saw my face Only you, only you Make it safe to just be... 나 자신으로 (myself) VERSE 2 (More confident) You said "I can't see you anyway" 그리고 뭔가 부서져 내렸어 (And something broke inside me)
All the armor that I worn so long 이렇게 오래 입은 갑옷 (This armor I've worn so long) Shattered by one honest song
넌 내 얼굴 모양을 몰라 (You don't know the shape of my face) But you know this place 내 심장 속 너는 (In my heart, you are) The only truth I need to hide PRE-CHORUS 2 (More intense) And now I'm brave 이제 난 용감해 (Now I'm brave) Taking off the chains 사슬을 벗어버려 (Throwing off these chains)
더 이상 허락을 기다리지 않아 (I'm not waiting for permission anymore) I don't owe the world my face Just the art that I give CHORUS 2 (Same as Chorus 1 - FULL INTENSITY) Only you, only you 내 진짜 모습을 봐줄 수 있는 건 너뿐이야 (Only you can see my true self) Only you, only you 숨겨진 나를 사랑해주는 건 너뿐이야 (Only you love the hidden me)
I was drowning in a thousand eyes But you never saw my face Only you, only you Make it safe to just be... 나 자신으로 (myself) BRIDGE (RAW & POWERFUL - mostly Korean here) 마스크를 벗어 (I'm removing the mask) (내가 원해서) - (because I want to)
세상이 뭘 봐도 상관없어 (I don't care what the world sees) 세상이 뭘 말해도 상관없어 (I don't care what the world says)
중요한 건 이거야 (What matters is this) 너는 이해해 (You understand)
선물의 의미를 (The meaning of a gift) 보지 못하는 것의 아름다움을 (The beauty of not being seen the way the world sees)
하지만 알아줘 사랑이 아는 방식으로 (But known the way love knows) FINAL CHORUS (EXPLOSIVE - Korean & English mixed) Only you, only you 내 진짜 모습을 봐줄 수 있는 건 너뿐이야 (Only you can see my true self)
Only you, only you 날 지우려던 그 모습이 아니라 (Not the version they tried to erase) 진짜 나를 사랑해 줘 (Love the real me)
I was drowning in a thousand eyes Suffocating in the glaze But you loved me in the dark 어둠 속에서 (In the darkness)
내 얼굴은 절대 보이지 않지만 (Where my face could never be seen) 내 영혼은 빛나 (But my soul shines)
Only you, only you Only you... 날 자유롭게 해줘 (set me free) OUTRO (Soft, intimate) Only you 너뿐이야 (Only you)
