잉걸 (Ember to Solar) (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, like ash, I woke up and swallowed the darkness
When I move like a giant, pain blooms
The future that seemed so far away that I could die
Is now right before my eyes, don’t ya know it?
Ha, I have to feel it more bitter and sharp
I have to stagger more and want the heat
The moment of realization of the storm that pushes my back, I shout
Go further forward, higher, I want

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind changes, changes, and grows the flame
Burning the darkness, burning it, it won’t break
The cruel emergency inside me
Starts, uh (Damn, this is freaking tough but)

[Chorus]
It’s so mad, I’m so bad, I’m Inggol
Because I’m gonna burn like fate
Why do you doubt? Yeah
My steps are ember to solar

[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I won’t turn back
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I can’t stop
(Ayy) Fire (Oh), rise up (Ayy), when I wake up (Oh)
Growing ember to solar

[Interlude]
That’s it that’s it, uh

[Verse 2]
In the cold of the mud I rolled in
Reality cuts my flesh
The nightmare of the weary night is surreal, surreal
Wake up screaming
Open your eyes straight
Where am I standing
Loneliness doesn’t hurt
So there’s nothing to be afraid of

[Pre-Chorus]
Dawn easily brings the dawn
Slowly opening my eyes and spreading my wings
The cruel flight inside me
Starts, uh (Damn, this is freaking tough but)

[Chorus]
It’s so mad, I’m so bad, I’m Inggol
Like fate, I’m gonna burn
Why do you doubt? Yeah
My steps are ember to solar

[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I won’t turn back
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I can’t stop
(Ayy) Fire (Oh), rise up (Ayy), When I wake up (Oh)
Growing ember to solar

[Bridge]
Rise (Rise) like a sun (Fly), Believe in today
A small spark burns and I’ll become the sun
Jump and step and be what you wishing for
And more, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
It’s so mad, I’m so bad, I’m Inggol (Oh)
Like fate, I’m gonna burn (I’m gonna burn)
Why do you doubt? Yeah (Yeah, hey)
My steps are ember to solar

[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I won’t turn back (Yeah)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh) I can’t stop (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(Ayy) Fire (Oh), rise up (Ayy), when I wake up (Fire, rise up, oh-ooh-woah)
Growing ember to solar

잉걸 (Ember to Solar) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
RIIZE begins the song with imagery of rising from ashes, symbolizing a rebirth through pain and darkness. The act of awakening like a giant conveys newfound strength, but it’s not without agony—growth is painful, and the future once felt impossibly distant now demands to be faced. The verse builds tension with the acknowledgment that in order to evolve, one must endure sharp, raw emotions and actively desire that intensity. This sets the foundation for the song’s central transformation.

[Pre-Chorus]
This section captures the turning point: the ember of inner fire begins to swell into flame. RIIZE sings about embracing the winds of change, using them to fuel the fire rather than extinguish it. Even in a harsh inner world filled with struggle, they prepare to soar with fierce resolve, acknowledging the toughness of the process while committing to it without hesitation.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, RIIZE claims their identity as “잉걸” (an ember) that is destined to blaze like a sun. The intensity of emotion is palpable—they assert their power, challenge doubt, and frame their journey as fate. “Ember to solar” becomes a metaphor for unstoppable personal evolution, and each step they take is charged with purpose and growing heat.

[Post-Chorus]
Here, RIIZE affirms their irreversible commitment to the path forward. There is no turning back or slowing down. The repeated mantra-like lines intensify the imagery of ignition and ascension, describing the ember’s transformation into solar energy—limitless, radiant, and dynamic.

[Interlude]
The interlude acts as a brief breath, perhaps a mental reset before diving deeper into the journey. The clipped repetition of “That’s it” suggests a moment of clarity or internal confirmation to push on.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, RIIZE dives deeper into the gritty reality of struggle. They describe a setting of cold, mud, and pain—a symbolic battlefield where reality wounds. Yet in the surreal nightmare, they cry out, wake up, and take a hard look at where they stand. Despite the harsh solitude, they discover that loneliness no longer hurts, and fear no longer controls them. This moment of self-recognition marks a powerful step toward emotional freedom.

[Pre-Chorus]
This repetition of the pre-chorus introduces a new layer of hope. Dawn approaches, symbolizing renewal and light, and RIIZE spreads their wings with calm determination. Even though the journey is still grueling, they choose to rise again, reinforcing the central theme of relentless transformation through inner fire.

[Chorus]
With more emotional force, RIIZE reasserts their defiance and clarity of purpose. They lean into the metaphor of burning brighter and stronger, framing their growth as both inevitable and heroic. Their identity as “잉걸” is now a badge of honor, and their path is blazing.

[Post-Chorus]
This post-chorus amplifies the momentum. The refusal to stop and the imagery of rising fire mirror the personal stakes and inner propulsion the group embodies. Each line pulses with unstoppable forward energy, pulling the ember toward solar brilliance.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, RIIZE openly affirms faith in themselves. They believe that even a small ember can become a sun, highlighting the value of self-trust and vision. The message is motivational and expansive—they will go beyond limits and become more than what anyone expected, including themselves.

[Chorus]
The final chorus serves as a climactic reaffirmation. Every word and phrase—spoken with more fire—cements RIIZE’s message: they will burn, rise, and transform regardless of the doubt surrounding them. Destiny is not just waiting; they’re making it.

[Post-Chorus]
The closing lines sustain the energy of the previous sections, emphasizing unstoppable movement and continuous growth. RIIZE completes the journey from ember to solar in sound and spirit, leaving listeners with a sense of awe, heat, and hope.
