High Horse (English Translation) Lyrics

[ENMIX “High Horse” Lyrics]

[Verse 1: Haewon, Bae]
Sick of that high horse
I just can’t take it no more
Empty conversation
I’m lost and found
Don’t judge what you are
Simply put, who you are, oh, oh
In my ears, their lies
I hear what’s inside

[Pre-Chorus: Kyujin]
So let’s ride to the front line
To the end I can go
Further with you
To end up where we’re meant to be

[Chorus: Jiwoo, Lily]
Heartbreak, I’m tired
I don’t want to open my eyes every morning
Run away
Narrow frame
Heartbreak, I’m tired
I don’t want to open my eyes every morning
Run away
Narrow frame

[Verse 2: Sullyoon, Jiwoo, Kyujin]
Looking down
A stinging gaze
Jump over
Go on, go on
They can’t tell you what you are
If ya already know who you are, oh
I will love you
When all is gone

[Pre-Chorus: Lily, Haewon]
So let’s ride to the front line
To the end where we can go
Further away with you
To end up where we’re meant to be
So let’s ride to the front line
Leaving the familiar
I’ll be with you
To a place I’ve never dreamed of

[Chorus: Bae, Lily, Kyujin]
Lights flash, bass drop
Baby, I’m on whatever
Hands up, heartbeats
No telling where I’ll go
Heartquake, I open my eyes
Crouching every morning
Run away
Do it my way

[Outro: Sullyoon]
Sick of that high horse
Our minds don’t work like theirs

High Horse Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Haewon, Bae]
Haewon opens the song with a sense of exasperation, expressing exhaustion with someone’s self-righteous attitude. The phrase “Sick of that high horse” directly calls out arrogance and a sense of superiority, suggesting that the speaker is tired of dealing with pretentious behavior. Bae’s lines further explore the disconnect between shallow conversations and deeper truths, emphasizing the frustration of being surrounded by insincerity. The line “I hear what’s inside” signals a shift in perspective—rather than being swayed by external noise, the speaker is tuning into their own inner voice.

[Pre-Chorus: Kyujin]
Kyujin introduces a call to action, urging movement toward change. The imagery of “riding to the front line” suggests a battle or a decisive confrontation with restrictive forces. By emphasizing the journey toward “where we’re meant to be,” the lyrics highlight the belief that freedom and self-discovery lie ahead. The sense of pushing further implies that breaking free is not easy but requires persistence and courage.

[Chorus: Jiwoo, Lily]
Jiwoo and Lily express deep emotional weariness, with “Heartbreak, I’m tired” encapsulating the exhaustion of waking up to the same struggles. The “narrow frame” represents limitations—whether societal expectations, rigid labels, or self-imposed constraints—that confine the speaker’s existence. The repeated plea to “run away” conveys a desire to escape these restrictions and find a place where self-expression is unrestricted. This chorus powerfully conveys both the pain of feeling trapped and the longing for liberation.

[Verse 2: Sullyoon, Jiwoo, Kyujin]
Sullyoon paints a picture of judgment and external scrutiny, describing “a stinging gaze” that symbolizes societal pressure or criticism. However, the line “jump over” suggests an act of defiance—rather than being weighed down by external opinions, the speaker chooses to rise above them. Jiwoo’s words reinforce the idea that self-awareness is key to empowerment, emphasizing that others cannot define someone who already knows their worth. Kyujin’s final statement, “I will love you when all is gone,” adds an emotional depth, suggesting unwavering support and self-acceptance even in moments of solitude.

[Pre-Chorus: Lily, Haewon]
Lily and Haewon echo the earlier call to action but with an added sense of adventure. The line “leaving the familiar” emphasizes the courage needed to step outside of comfort zones. The mention of “a place I’ve never dreamed of” suggests that true liberation might lead to unexpected, yet fulfilling, destinations. This version of the pre-chorus adds a layer of optimism, framing the journey as one of self-discovery rather than mere escape.

[Chorus: Bae, Lily, Kyujin]
This chorus variation introduces a more defiant and energetic tone. The flashing lights and bass drops create a sense of chaos and exhilaration, reflecting the unpredictability of forging one’s own path. The phrase “I’m on whatever” signals a shift from exhaustion to recklessness—embracing the unknown rather than fearing it. Kyujin’s line “Heartquake, I open my eyes” suggests a moment of awakening, where the speaker gains clarity and strength. This chorus transforms the song’s message from one of fatigue to one of empowerment, showcasing the liberating power of self-determination.

[Outro: Sullyoon]
Sullyoon closes the song by revisiting the opening line, but this time with a newfound sense of clarity. Rather than merely expressing frustration, the statement “Our minds don’t work like theirs” solidifies the realization that the speaker and those around them exist on a different wavelength. This final line serves as a declaration of independence, rejecting conformity and embracing individuality.
