TILT Lyrics (English Translation) – Red Velvet – IRENE & SEULGI

TILT (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The lines show a deep connection between two people, like they’re meant to be together and should follow their feelings without hesitation.

[Verse 1: Seulgi, Irene]
This part talks about how their feelings and curiosity are so strong, they keep crossing boundaries. There’s no break, no end—it just keeps going. Things feel unstable and intense, like being on a seesaw. Pretending to be okay or balanced feels too heavy, so they’re saying it’s fine to let that go. Just holding on to the moment is enough. Forget about what’s right or wrong and step into this connection with confidence and honesty.

[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi]
Here, the idea is to shift your view and not feel guilty about it. You don’t need to explain or justify it. The other person’s eyes shine even in the dark, which pulls you in. It’s a call to act now and not wait.

[Chorus: All]
This chorus shows how emotional pressure makes the speaker feel like they’re tilting or losing balance. The more things twist or become intense, the more it changes how they see the world. It’s not a bad thing—it’s more like a shift in perspective. Being pushed emotionally or taken higher makes everything feel unfamiliar but exciting. It’s like letting go and falling into this intense feeling, which changes everything inside them.

[Verse 2: Irene, Seulgi]
This part paints a dreamy image of turning broken or unclear things into something beautiful through imagination. Together, they’ve created something new that looks good from any angle, even if it started out imperfect.

[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi]
It becomes more obvious what really excites them. They’re enjoying how shifting perspectives brings things to life. The more they shake things up, the more everything sparkles. It’s a reminder to keep going and not stop.

[Chorus: All]
This part continues the theme of emotional tipping. When feelings get pushed too far, things shift again. It’s a cycle of pressure, high emotion, and fresh ways of seeing things. The repetition shows how constant and consuming it is.

[Bridge: Irene, Seulgi, Irene & Seulgi]
Even though they might seem like opposites or push each other away, the tension between them is part of their story. Love and hate both come from illusions, but the connection feels meant to be. They don’t want to ruin it by overthinking or breaking it apart.

[Chorus: All]
This final chorus goes deeper into how overwhelming feelings push them to their limits. When they’re pushed too far or lifted too high, they feel like they’re about to fall, but that shift opens their eyes. It wakes them up emotionally. The tilting shows emotional extremes—being off balance, but also alive and fully aware. Each twist brings a new point of view, and in that chaos, they discover something real.
