Odyssey (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the journey of dreams
We are dreamers who have yet to take the first step
Before the road we must take
The lack within me is a trigger

[Pre-Chorus]
Running towards the next chapter, you and I, ah, ah, yeah
Dreaming a bigger dream ri-i-ise, yeah
Going without stopping
Until we reach our dreams

[Chorus]
In the countless breaths we bump into and face
I will hold your hand at any moment
A story we will fill together in this endless journey
It has just begun, this is our odyssey, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
It has just begun, this is our odyssey, yeah

[Verse 2]
Dreaming another dream
Higher in the excitement of the first time
Sometimes it’s hard to breathe There’s also a fear that makes your jaw swell

[Pre-Chorus]
Together we go toward our next goal, you and I, ah, ah, yeah
Across the vast universe ri-i-ise, yeah
Don’t hesitate and go
Until we reach our dreams

[Chorus]
With our countless breaths bumping into and facing each other
I’ll hold your hand at any moment
A story we’ll fill together in this endless journey
It’s just beginning, this is our odyssey, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
It’s just beginning, this is our odyssey, yeah

[Outro]
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
This is our odyssey, yeah
It’s just begun, this is our odyssey, yeah

Odyssey Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this opening verse, RIIZE positions themselves as “dreamers” at the start of a journey, acknowledging that they are just taking their first steps. The mention of inner insufficiencies as a “trigger” highlights how self-doubt or perceived shortcomings can be a catalyst for growth rather than a limitation. This sets the emotional tone for the song—honest, reflective, but determined.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, RIIZE expresses a forward-moving energy, emphasizing mutual support (“you and I”) as they chase the next chapter of their dreams. The phrase “ri-i-ise” plays on both their group name and the idea of elevating one’s ambitions. The pre-chorus reinforces the refusal to stop until their dreams are fully realized, setting up the emotional payoff in the chorus.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a declaration of unity and resilience. RIIZE acknowledges the inevitable struggles (“crashing and confronting breath”) but promises unwavering support (“I’ll hold your hand at every moment”). The journey is not just personal—it’s shared—and each step adds to a growing narrative that is only just beginning. The word “odyssey” underscores the epic, ongoing nature of their path.

[Post-Chorus]
This section acts as a hypnotic reaffirmation of the song’s theme. Repeating “this is our odyssey” turns the phrase into a mantra—one that emphasizes both the personal and collective nature of RIIZE’s pursuit. The line “이제 막 시작됐지” (it’s only just begun) reminds listeners that no matter how far they’ve come, the real journey is just starting.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, RIIZE explores the emotional highs and lows of chasing a new dream. The excitement of beginnings is tempered by moments of fear and breathlessness—symbolizing the natural anxiety that accompanies stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Yet, even in the face of such fear, the desire to rise remains.

[Pre-Chorus]
Similar to the earlier pre-chorus, this section focuses on forward motion and unity. The mention of the “wide universe” suggests limitless potential. RIIZE urges themselves and listeners not to hesitate, further deepening the song’s message of perseverance.

[Chorus]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the song’s central message. No matter how many obstacles arise, RIIZE will continue to hold onto each other and move forward. Their story is an ever-evolving journey, and they invite their fans to walk that path alongside them.

[Post-Chorus]
Again echoing the post-chorus from earlier, this repetition creates a sense of unity and emotional climax. It reinforces the identity of RIIZE as artists committed to their dreams and their audience, united under the banner of a shared odyssey.

[Outro]
The outro prolongs the hypnotic repetition of “this is our odyssey,” cementing it as both a conclusion and a continuation. The persistent chant acts as a symbolic heartbeat for the song—steady, united, and full of promise. As RIIZE fades out with this declaration, listeners are left with a resonant sense of forward momentum and shared destiny.
