Nocturnal (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The ticking sound shows time passing slowly in the quiet night.

[Verse 1: Hyuk, LEW]
The singer feels trapped in a long, sleepless night, where dreams have disappeared. They’re lost and lonely, unsure of what’s real or what to believe. In that dark moment, something unexpected catches their attention and breaks the emptiness.

[Refrain: Hyeongseop, Hanbin]
Someone appears in the darkness, quietly watching. There’s an unspoken connection between them, as if they understand each other without words. That silent moment feels mysterious yet comforting, like finding a familiar face in the dark.

[Pre-Chorus: Hyuk, Eunchan, Taeerae]
They decide to embrace the night instead of fearing it. Staying awake like nocturnal animals, they want to explore new paths and chase dreams no one has before. It’s about breaking limits and living freely.

[Chorus: LEW, Hanbin, Taerae]
They celebrate being awake and alive in the night, proud to be different and free.

[Post-Chorus: Hyuk, Hanbin, Taerae]
Life feels repetitive like a hamster wheel, but running through the night with energy makes it exciting. They move forward side by side, pushing through endless paths and challenges, feeling unstoppable together.

[Verse 2: LEW, Hyuk, Eunchan]
All their worries and struggles start to fade. They finally feel free and more like themselves, realizing who they truly are after the long darkness.

[Pre-Chorus: Hanbin, Eunchan, Taerae]
They want to keep running through the night, discovering new, unexplored paths. It’s a call to adventure, to live boldly and not hold back, because that’s what being nocturnal is all about.

[Chorus: LEW, Hanbin, Taerae]
They proudly repeat that they’re nocturnal, awake and alive while the world sleeps.

[Post-Chorus: Hyuk, Hanbin, Taerae]
Even though time feels endless and dull, they break free from it by running together. The wind pushes them forward through the darkness, side by side, faster and stronger, fueled by their shared spirit.

[Bridge: Hyeongseop, Hyuk]
They spell out “nocturnal” like a chant, ready to start again and chase forgotten dreams that still live somewhere in reality.

[Interlude: Eunchan, Taerae]
The ticking returns, reminding them of time and their search for their true selves. They keep going through the night, holding on to who they really are.

[Chorus: LEW, Hanbin, Taeerae]
They reaffirm their identity, alive in the night, full of energy and purpose.

[Post-Chorus: Hyuk, Hanbin, Taeerae]
Even in a boring, repetitive world, they run fast through the wind, feeling connected and free. The endless night becomes their playground, and moving side by side makes every moment thrilling. They’re no longer trapped by time — they own it, together.
