LYRICS:
Electrifying static
You’re a popping star
This fuzzy head feeling
The good feeling my love
Ah, is this perhaps the firework
That I can feel when I chew a mouthful of stardust?
This tingling feeling that has filled my mouth
Its sweetness is melting me down
Jjirit jjirit, it’s strange like an electric current
The phrase "Jjirit jjirit" (찌릿찌릿) is a Korean onomatopoeia that mimics the sound of a sharp, tingling sensation, often associated with something electrifying or thrilling. The exact translation can vary depending on the context, but it generally refers to a feeling of excitement, nervousness, or something that sends a shiver down your spine.
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
This isn’t enough, I want something stronger
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh
The battery on the tip of my tongue, pop explosion
Taking a rest, a slime vacation
Guys, it's like a dizzying rollercoaster
Reference to TXT's song 'Roller Coaster'
You know that feeling 1 second before it falls
(We know that feeling)
Sometimes it's okay to be a little dangerous
Opening a lock behind your mom’s back
The things we did yesterday are already boring
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
Over the desk I high-five the sky
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh
This might be something that the country allowed
A secret hidden just among us
It's not permitted for just anyone
Try popping a mouthful
Let’s pump it up, pump it up, pump it up
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
It's not permitted for just anyone
Try popping a mouthful
Jjirit jjirit, it’s strange like an electric current
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
This isn’t enough, I want something stronger
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh
I need a more, more, more powerful popping
Full of lemon, lime, orange, chew yeh (2x)
