HANDS UP (English Translation) Lyrics
[Refrain: Ella, Gawon, Anna]
I’m heading this way we gotta
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi, we burn again
[Verse 1: Narin, Sooin]
Look above you, you can’t deny
Nothing blocking me, don’t ask no more
Do what you please, there’s no holding back
Don’t cross the li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-line
[Pre-Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
One, two, three, set it off
Try and catch up, beyond the horizon
Soar high like a dragon
It’s our magic purr
Try doing this and that, but you
‘Bout it, ’bout that, no, you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you, look at me now
[Chorus: Narin, Ella, Sooin, Gawon]
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
[Refrain: Anna, Gawon, Ella]
I’m heading this way we gotta
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi, we burn again
[Verse 2: Narin, Gawon, Ella]
Provocation ain’t nothing new to me
Try swinging your rusty sword
All about jealous admiration
Self-affirmation, yet still unsure
Your eyes will open wide
Me and my girls you dealin’ with
So beautifully killin’ cruelly willin’
Hands up, who the real villain?
[Pre-Chorus: Sooin, Anna, Narin]
The fire in me, I won’t let it die
Won’t let it go out, I will survive
Even if you try doing this and that
‘Bout it, ’bout that, no, you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you, look at me now
[Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
[Bridge: Gawon, Sooin, Narin]
Burn all that fiery heart
Because I’m going to bloom anyway
Now let’s go back, up and down
Turn everything upside down
Let that drum go, rum-pu-pu-pum
[Outro: Narin, Anna]
Hands up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky open, put your hands up
HANDS UP Lyrics Meaning
[Refrain: Ella, Gawon, Anna]
In the [Refrain], the repetition of phrases like “이 길로 갈게 we gotta” (We gotta go this way) and “We back on track” signals a sense of determination and a return to a focused path. The imagery of the “뜨거운 햇빛처럼 lit it” (lit like the hot sun) reinforces the idea of intense energy and vitality, suggesting that the journey is not easy, but full of strength. “Samadhi, we burn again” adds a layer of depth, implying a spiritual or transformative fire, as the group pushes forward.
[Verse 1: Narin, Sooin]
In [Verse 1], Narin and Sooin set the tone of the song with a bold declaration of strength and confidence. The line “네 위를 봐, you can’t deny” (Look up to you, you can’t deny) expresses a sense of superiority and unwavering self-belief. The defiance in “Don’t cross the li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-line” adds an element of boundary-setting, signaling that the person or group is unafraid to defend their space and assert their dominance.
[Pre-Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
The [Pre-Chorus] introduces a sense of acceleration, with the line “One, two, three, set it off” ramping up the energy. The imagery of breaking boundaries—”Try and catch up, 수평 너머로” (Beyond the horizon)—speaks to the relentless pursuit of success and self-empowerment. The phrase “마법같은 purr” (Magical purr) adds an almost hypnotic and charismatic element to the song, further elevating the performers as figures of authority and allure.
[Chorus: Narin, Ella, Sooin, Gawon]
The [Chorus] delivers the song’s anthem-like energy, with the repeated calls to “put your hands up” symbolizing both a celebration and a declaration of power. “Crack the sky open” conveys an image of breaking free from limitations, and “Let the water fall” suggests cleansing and renewal. The song encourages listeners to embrace the moment, even if they don’t have all the answers, and to feel empowered in the present.
[Refrain: Anna, Gawon, Ella]
The second iteration of the [Refrain] reinforces the song’s central themes of determination and self-assurance, repeating the earlier declarations of returning to a powerful path. The line “이미 백번째 나를 dead it” (I’ve already died a hundred times) suggests resilience—despite setbacks, the group continues to push forward, embodying the spirit of persistence and transformation.
[Verse 2: Narin, Gawon, Ella]
[Verse 2] shifts to a more defiant tone, addressing provocation and jealousy. “Provocation ain’t nothing new to me” reflects a sense of immunity to outside negativity, while the mention of a “녹슨 sword” (rusted sword) evokes imagery of past struggles that no longer have power. The verse also explores the tension between self-affirmation and doubt, highlighting the complexity of confidence in a world that often challenges it. The rhetorical question “Hands up, who the real villain?” invites listeners to question authority and norms, asserting their own sense of self in the face of adversity.
[Pre-Chorus: Sooin, Anna, Narin]
The [Pre-Chorus] reappears with renewed intensity, focusing on inner strength and perseverance. “내 안의 불씨들 won’t let it die” (The embers inside me won’t let it die) conveys the idea of an unquenchable fire, symbolizing passion and determination that cannot be extinguished, no matter the external challenges. The line “I will survive” echoes the resilience and commitment to overcome anything standing in their way.
[Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
The [Chorus] returns, maintaining its anthemic quality as it calls for unity and empowerment. “Hands up” continues to symbolize strength and defiance, while “Throw it up, what you wanna do?” challenges listeners to take action and own their power, regardless of the uncertainties they face.
[Bridge: Gawon, Sooin, Narin]
In the [Bridge], the idea of transformation and renewal is emphasized with “불타는 마음 다 태워봐” (Burn all your burning hearts), suggesting that past struggles and pain can be used as fuel for growth. The line “어차피 또 피어날 테니까” (It will bloom again anyway) offers hope and reinforces the idea of regeneration, even after hardships.
[Outro: Narin, Anna]
The [Outro] is a final, climactic repetition of the song’s central theme—empowerment. The call to “put your hands up” becomes a victorious chant, marking the culmination of the song’s journey of self-assertion and defiance, reminding listeners to stand tall and embrace their inner strength.
