그림자도 빛이 있어야 존재 (Behind The Light) (English translation)Stray Kids

[Verse 1: Changbin]
I remember the day we all first met and said hello
Our practice sessions were like babies on walkers
Like mothers making baby food
We paid attention to all the details
Compared to that passion
People’s reactions are impossible
If we were to react to that zero reaction
Our scars would have severely reacted
This song probably wouldn’t exist either
We were just thirsty for a bit

Feels as though we forgot those butterflies back then
In other words, seems like we’ve become quite reliable
Compared to before
Feels like we’ve been chased by time and have lost
It’s too much to be stubborn like ticks
Even with the insecticide
That is the end
I can’t press down on my dreams
Even if my future is bleak
My passion becomes my lamp and casts a light before me
When nine come together
It becomes a lighthouse and the situation changes

[Verse 2: Lee Know, Seungmin, Bang Chan]
Don’t close your eyes again
There’s a shadow where the light shines
When you turn around
A bright light will be waiting for you
Am I doing right or not
Honestly, I was nervous back then
But now, there are so many flowers shining on us
(There are flowers)
So I’m not unsure anymore

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Seungmin, *I.N*]
One for the fame, one for the game
I don’t care when just like them
One for the way, I’m gonna take
Wherever you are, sing this song
Even if it gets farther away
I can’t stop
Even dark shadows
Only exist with light

[Verse 3: Hyunjin, Han, Felix]
We’ve all only looked at the light and came this far
The brotherly love of us brothers
Connected by music and dance
I don’t regret it, even though I’m a bit tired
I just like to eat chicken and laugh and have fun
The black and white prepares the world
Following it like a crosswalk
I’m living a life that has no choice but to do so
Let’s just comfortably laugh
Just think simply
Just work hard

Ayy, we never give up, yeah (yeah)
We never give up, yeah eh
We never give up, yeah eh
Won’t ever give up
Oh, I believe my family
A light shines on us so we can overcome it all
Even if shadows swallow us
We won’t give up

I wake up, my happy dreams fade away
I can’t breathe, it’s so complicated
The same actions keep replaying
I can’t feel it even after time
In my head, colorless voices
Stepping into my heart, hopeless choices
I know I can’t succeed if I feed like this
Leave like this
Scarred and feared pain like this, yeah

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, Felix, Han, *I.N*]
One for the fame, one for the game
I don’t care when just like them
One for the way, I’m gonna take
Wherever you are, sing this song
Even if it gets farther away
I can’t stop
Even dark shadows
Only exist with light

[Bridge: I.N]
I go through that too
But when things are hard, I look at the sky
It can’t always be light
But only when darkness comes
Can it get brighter

[Chorus: Bang Chan, I.N, Seungmin]
One for the fame, one for the game (Oh, oh)
I don’t care when, just like them (Yeah)
One for the way, I'm gonna take
Wherever you are, sing this song (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Even if it gets farther away (Yeah)
I can’t stop (Even if we get farther away)
Even dark shadows (Mm)
Only exist with light (Shadows need light to exist)

[Chorus: All]
One for the fame, one for the game
I don’t care when just like them
One for the way, I’m gonna take
Wherever you are, sing this song
Even if it gets farther away
I can’t stop
Even dark shadows
Only exist with light
