Fame (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Anton, Wonbin]
The singer feels like people around him don’t truly care about him, even when they act like they do. He’s dealing with loud emotions, tears, fear, and pain, but he keeps pushing forward anyway. Everything he’s done hasn’t been for attention or praise. It’s all because of real love he feels inside, not because he wants fame or approval from others. He’s reminding himself what actually matters to him.

[Verse 1: Sungchan, Anton, Eunseok, Shotaro]
He wonders if the person he cares about will still love him even when he falls apart. He hides his struggles and tries to look okay, even though the night feels heavy and overwhelming. He doesn’t want her to see him at his weakest. Thoughts about dreams coming true feel false, like life is some dramatic script only he’s stuck in. When she calls out to him, he hesitates, unsure of himself. He questions whether he’s worthy of her trust, feeling torn between wanting to be strong and fearing he’s not enough for her.

[Pre-Chorus: Sungchan, Sohee, Anton]
He realizes all the fake attention that comes with fame doesn’t matter to him anymore. What he really wants is someone who holds him close and gives him real emotion. He’s craving deep, sincere love, not surface-level admiration. He’s determined to hold onto that feeling and won’t back away from it.

[Chorus: All]
He’s running toward the person he cares about, hoping they finally see who he really is. He wants to know how they feel now that he’s standing right in front of them. Even though he still can’t quite reach them, he keeps calling out, trying to find them no matter how far away they seem.

[Post-Chorus: All, Wonbin, Anton]
He shouts their name with everything he has, showing that his focus isn’t on fame or attention. It’s all about that one person. He keeps calling out for them again and again, making it clear that his heart isn’t tied to fame at all.

[Verse 2: Shotaro, Sungchan, Anton, Sohee, (All, Sungchan, Wonbin)]
He pushes himself with full energy, making his presence loud and strong. He wonders what kind of day the other person wants and shows he’s ready to share something real. He says he wants them to see who he truly is, not just his outside image. He’s living fully in the moment, energized like booming bass. The light guiding him keeps him moving, as if someone is shining a flashlight to show the way. With the idea of receiving a key, he sees it as trust. He promises to stay by their side forever, rising together.

[Pre-Chorus: Eunseok, Wonbin]
Again, he admits fame isn’t what he needs. What he wants is to hold onto the real feelings they share. He’s ready to keep running with this person, turning each day into something they build together. He believes they can achieve anything side by side, and he openly says he needs them to move forward.

[Chorus: All]
He keeps running toward them, hoping they truly see him now. He still longs for their presence and wonders where they are. Even when they feel out of reach, he keeps shouting from afar, determined to find them no matter what stands in the way.

[Post-Chorus: All, Sohee, Eunseok]
He repeats their name loudly once again, showing his heart is focused on them and not on the fame surrounding him. Everything he calls out is for that connection, proving that his feelings are real and not tied to any spotlight.

[Outro: Wonbin]
A final reminder that it isn’t about fame.
