[Verse 1: Kevin, Ju Haknyeon, *Juyeon*, Sunwoo, Eric]
I don't like it, 새로운 차별들의 발견
I don't like it, discovering new forms of discrimination
언제부턴가 변했던 건 너의 시선
Somewhere along the way your gaze changed
순수한 어릴적 기억들은 all gone
Pure childhood memories are all gone
*너와 다른 걸 넌 틀렸다고 했어* (Ayy, ayy)
*You said being different from you means being wrong* (Ayy, ayy)
모두 똑같아 찍어낸 듯한 이 세곈
Everyone looks the same, stamped out in this world
모습이 다를 뿐인데 굴렌 대체 내게만 씌워 왜 왜
We're just a little different, why do you keep putting me down
다가가려 해도 내겐 문을 닫은 채
Even when I try to approach, you keep your door closed
눈 가린 채 귀 닫은 채 내게 손가락질 해
Eyes covered, ears shut, pointing fingers at me
[Pre-Chorus: Hyunjae, Sunwoo]
[Pre-Chorus: Hyunjae, Sunwoo]
Hey, 난 너와 같은 존재
Hey, I exist just like you do
왜 밀어내려 하는데
Why are you trying to push me away
So black and blue, black and blue
So black and blue, black and blue
왜 왜 왜 내
Why, why, why, my

맘 속에 박힌 tattoo
Tattoo etched inside my heart
어째서 네겐 taboo
Why is it a taboo to you
다르지 않아 너와 내 말투
Our words are no different
그렇지만 내겐 아픔의 이유
But to me it's a reason for pain
내 안에 박힌 tattoo
Tattoo carved inside me
어째서 네겐 taboo
Why is it a taboo to you
이런 나 조차 너의 일부
Even this side of me is part of you
받아들여 모두 다, 모두 다, 모두 다, 모두 다
Accept it all, all of it, all of it, all of it
오랜 아픔의 치유
Healing the long-held pain
[Verse 2: Younghoon, Q]
[Verse 2: Younghoon, Q]
You don't like it too, 누군가의 편견
You don't like it too, someone's prejudice
내 몸에 깊이 새겨진 곱잖은 시선
A disdainful gaze deeply engraved on my body
꿈꿨던건 나비 같은 자유로움 but
I once dreamed of freedom like a butterfly, but
너와 다른걸 넌 틀렸다고 했어
You said being different from you means being wrong
[Pre-Chorus: Jacob, Eric]
[Pre-Chorus: Jacob, Eric]
Hey, 정답은 없잖아 왜
Hey, there's no right answer, why
그렇게 넌 날 밀어내
Are you pushing me away like that
So black and blue, black and blue
So black and blue, black and blue
왜 왜 왜 내
Why, why, why, my

[Pre-Bridge: Kevin, Juyeon, Younghoon, Hyunjae]
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
너에게 다가가고 싶어
I want to reach out to you
손을 내민 순간 멀어져
The moment I extend my hand, you pull away
끊어진 끈을 잇고싶어
I want to reconnect this broken tie
[Bridge: Jacob, Sangyeon, Ju Haknyeon, New]
[Bridge: Jacob, Sangyeon, Ju Haknyeon, New]
언제쯤 you and I
When will you and I
같은 곳을 함께 바라 볼 수 있을까
Be able to look toward the same place together
굳어져 버린 땅을
The hardened ground
적실 rain is fallin' down, fallin' down
Will be softened when rain is fallin' down, fallin' down
[Verse 3: Sunwoo]
[Verse 3: Sunwoo]
Yeah
Yeah
잘못된 걸 내가 놔둘리가
There's no way I'd leave the wrong things alone
상처 따윈 빨리 아무니까
Wounds like these heal quickly for me
아마 네가 하나있던 편견까지
Even the one prejudice you carried
지금 내 안에 전부 남아있다
Now lives entirely inside me
이 고통이 날 더 비참히 아름답게 만들어
This pain makes me even more beautifully wretched
차라리 이런 내가 대신 빈자릴
Wouldn't it be better if someone like me
채워 바람아 불어
Filled the empty space, let the wind blow
[Chorus: All, New, Q, Sangyeon]
