High Horse (Romanized) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Haewon, Bae]
Sick of that high horse
I just can’t take it no more
Teong bin daehwa
I’m lost and found
Pandanhaji what you are
Swipge malhae da who you are, oh, oh
Nae gwien their lies
I hear what’s inside
[Pre-Chorus: Kyujin]
So let’s ride to the front line
Gal su inneun gajang kkeutkkaji
Neowa deo meolli
To end up where we’re meant to be
[Chorus: Jiwoo, Lily]
Heartbreak, jigyeowo
Nuntteugi sileun every morning
Run away
Bijobeun frame
Heartbreak, jigyeowo
Nuntteugi sileun every morning
Run away
Bijobeun frame
[Verse 2: Sullyoon, Jiwoo, Kyujin]
Naeryeodaboneun
Ttagaun siseon
Ttwieoneomeo
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
Gal su inneun gajang kkeutkkaji
Neowa deo meolli
To end up where we’re meant to be
So let’s ride to the front line
Iksukan goseul beoseona
Neowa isseulge
Kkumkkun jeok eomneun gotkkaji
[Chorus: Bae, Lily, Kyujin]
Lights flash, bass drop
Baby, I’m on whatever
Hands up, heartbeats
No telling where I’ll go
Heartquake, nuneul tteo
Ungkeuryeotdeon every morning
Run away
Do it my way
[Outro: Sullyoon]
Sick of that high horse
Our minds don’t work like theirs
High Horse Meaning
[Verse 1: Haewon, Bae]
Haewon sets the tone with a strong declaration of frustration, expressing exhaustion with someone’s arrogance or condescension. The phrase “Sick of that high horse” metaphorically calls out superiority and pretension, reinforcing a desire to escape hollow conversations and facades. Bae’s lines deepen this sentiment by addressing the ease with which people judge and label others. However, beneath the surface, there is an awareness of deception—the lies that others may believe but which the speaker refuses to accept. This verse introduces the core conflict: the struggle between external perceptions and internal truth.
[Pre-Chorus: Kyujin]
Kyujin shifts the narrative toward action, emphasizing movement and progress. The imagery of “riding to the front line” suggests a battle, not necessarily in a literal sense, but rather an internal or emotional fight for freedom. The journey is described as pushing toward the farthest limits, hinting at the sacrifices and determination required to break free from imposed roles. The pre-chorus reinforces the idea that leaving behind constraints is necessary to reach one’s true destiny.
[Chorus: Jiwoo, Lily]
Jiwoo expresses the emotional weight of heartbreak and disillusionment, emphasizing the exhaustion of waking up to the same reality every morning. The desire to “run away” suggests an urge to escape the rigid, oppressive framework that confines the speaker. Lily’s echoing lines reinforce this repetition, as if the struggle is an ongoing cycle. The “bijobeun frame” (empty frame) serves as a metaphor for false appearances—structures that exist but hold no real meaning. This chorus encapsulates the conflict between staying in a broken system or finding the courage to leave.
[Verse 2: Sullyoon, Jiwoo, Kyujin]
Sullyoon paints a vivid picture of judgmental gazes and social pressures, portraying them as a suffocating force. The act of “jumping over” represents a rejection of those expectations, moving forward despite scrutiny. Jiwoo’s lines remind the listener that external validation is irrelevant when one already knows their worth. Kyujin closes the verse with a powerful statement of unconditional love, suggesting that true support exists even when everything else crumbles. This section highlights the strength found in self-acceptance and genuine connections.
[Pre-Chorus: Lily, Haewon]
Lily reiterates the call to “ride to the front line,” but this time, the focus shifts to breaking away from familiarity. The “accustomed place” represents comfort zones that may feel safe but ultimately hold people back. Haewon’s addition introduces an element of adventure, suggesting that the most fulfilling destinations are those uncharted and undiscovered. The pre-chorus builds on the song’s theme of transformation, urging listeners to embrace the unknown.
[Chorus: Bae, Lily, Kyujin]
This chorus variation amplifies the song’s energetic pulse, introducing a sense of recklessness and freedom. The flashing lights and heavy bass symbolize an electrifying, uninhibited existence—one where the speaker is no longer burdened by expectations. The phrase “I’m on whatever” signals a carefree attitude, embracing spontaneity over preordained paths. Kyujin’s concluding lines shift from heartbreak to “heartquake,” portraying an awakening rather than a loss. The chorus becomes a declaration of self-rule, celebrating autonomy and individuality.
[Outro: Sullyoon]
Sullyoon brings the song full circle, repeating the opening line but with newfound clarity. While the beginning carried frustration, this final statement feels resolute—an acknowledgment that their minds function differently from those who remain trapped in illusions. The outro solidifies the message: rejecting false hierarchies and embracing personal truth is the ultimate form of liberation.
