00:30 Lyrics Translation (from “Archive. 1”)
The songwriter describes late night drives as his escape route. He mentions gripping the steering wheel and shaking his head to delete unwanted thoughts. A key line reads, ‘I’ll blast the music and break through, bye, bye, let’s fly free.’
Neomu jillyeo modeun apbak neomu apaI’m so tired of all this pressure, it hurts too much.
Norae keuge teulja tapa, bye, bye, jayuropge nalja pop outI’ll blast the music and break through, bye, bye, let’s fly free and just pop out.

Meoril teoreo sakje geumbangbut I shake my head and delete them instantly.
Nan oneuldo chareul molgo neukkyeo freedomI’m out driving again today, feeling the freedom.
Amudo eopsi norael teulgo tto pamutyeoI turn up the songs with no one around, getting lost in them again.
