뚝딱 (Outsider) (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I make one mistake, what I ate will be in my tummy
Tick tock, time goes by just looking at me (What, oh, oh)
The start may be small, but in the end, I’ll be more excited
Being shy and being shy are different things (Maybe oh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Hmm, I guess she likes the band too
Please join me
Come to me (No)
She’s different from how she looks, she does stupid things
She’s not always cold
How on earth can I get closer to her? In the end, I

[Chorus]
I understand because I’m a robot in human skin
But
If only I could wait
Everyone would know
Because I’m a robot-like person
Even if I look okay
This corner makes me colder
No one
Come near me and leave Please

[Verse 2]
If you talk to me, oh, oh, oh
I go, oh, oh
Again, if you approach me
Your head goes, oh, oh, oh
Again, if you approach me
What’s wrong?
Knock, knock, knock, Yes? Who are you (okay)
Knock, knock, knock, Hey, this is the big deal
Knock, knock, knock, Okay, let’s go
Okay, one, two, three, four, eww

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m scared that you’ll get hurt because of me
But I’ll come closer once more
Rather than looking, I won’t run away
Until I win this day
Even if you don’t hear my words that I spit out with courage
Because I

[Chorus]
Because I’m a robot in human skin
I understand,
But if you just wait for time
Everyone will know
Because I’m a robot
Even if it looks okay
This corner makes me colder Don’t come near me and leave, please

뚝딱 (Outsider) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In the opening verse, Wonsang illustrates the pressure and discomfort of everyday social interactions. Even a minor mistake feels physically distressing, like indigestion. He’s hyper-aware of time passing and his own awkwardness. Though he may start small and seem shy, he promises he’ll shine by the end. He clarifies that shyness isn’t the same as being introverted—it’s layered and complicated. This sets the stage for a character who is more than their first impression.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Wonsang notices someone who might share his love for bands—maybe a potential connection. He hesitates but desperately wants to be included. He insists he’s not as cold as he seems and even admits to acting foolish sometimes. He wonders what it would take for someone to see past his awkward exterior and approach him without judgment. His internal dialogue shows how he constantly overanalyzes social cues, feeding his outsider complex.

[Chorus]
The chorus anchors the song’s core metaphor—he feels like a robot wearing a human mask. While people might understand his distance, he believes if they gave him more time, they’d see who he really is. Outwardly, he might seem okay, but emotionally, he feels numb in certain corners of himself. His plea is simple yet heartbreaking: don’t come close only to walk away. It’s a request for consistency and empathy.

[Verse 2]
This verse dramatizes his internal panic when trying to speak. He stutters, overthinks, and becomes a caricature of social dysfunction. However, he forces himself to push past it, building up courage with each “knock” on emotional doors. The countdown and scream symbolize his breakthrough—he’s tired of hiding, and even if it’s clumsy, he’s ready to engage. This section adds a playful chaos to his struggle, showing both vulnerability and determination.

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonsang fears he might ruin the mood or make things uncomfortable, yet he still pushes himself to try again. He reassures that he’s not someone who runs away, even if it seems that way. His persistence is admirable—despite his fear, he’s willing to keep trying until he overcomes it. This moment reflects personal growth and a deep desire for connection.

[Chorus]
Repeating the powerful chorus, Wonsang reinforces the duality of his persona—robotic on the outside, emotional on the inside. He asks for understanding, time, and acceptance. Despite appearing fine, something inside continues to chill and isolate him. His plea remains: don’t just look at him and leave—give him a chance to show the warmth he’s trying so hard to share.
