I have always loved the meaning behind the name "stray kids" and seeing how this concept is evolving as they grow up, mature, experience this life more is so fascinating to me. I was reading the lyrics to hall of fame and they hit me. In the song they mention important figures like Galileo, Edison, Armstrong,Hawkins etc, all inventors and pioneers of important disciplines from science to literature (hyunjin also mentions shakespeare) who changed the way we live and the way we think about the world. And it is often mentioned how skz are the pioneers of a new genre in music, how they always bring something different and "unique" to the table, they invent, create their own sound, their own colour, their own identity. Since the beginning they have always inspired the stray kids all around the world- who felt just lost, insecure, afraid about the future- to be fully ourselves, our unapologetical selves, even if the world outside is chaotic, unfair and puts too much pressure on us. To be oddinary. And I love to see how loyal skz have been to this message, despite all the hate, the comments, the disappointments, the malicious (and false) rumors. Especially despite the frustration of not seeing success and rewards coming after all the efforts and the hope they invested. Despite all of this, they remained true to who they are, to the music THEY really wanna make, to the path they wanna take and the new reality they wanna create. And it is just so beautiful to see how now all of this is leading them, step by step, one broken record after another, one record made after another, to the hall of fame. Without ever changing who they are and what they stand for. Of course, I'm sure there have been moments where they questioned themselves, their talents, their path but they carried on neverthless and stood their ground. And look how far it is getting them! And the confidence they gained from all of it! "Hear the people call my name, here I'm on the hall of fame. Unveil the rumbling, trails of "hustling". Let's take a picture, a biography of great man" sounds so good to me. Representing a whole generation of stray kids around the world who feel lost, insecure and terrified about the future and showing them that they can indeed succeed at life, achieve whatever they wanna achieve, and conquer the world by being exactly the way they are, and above all finding other stray kids, who are exactly like you and who understand and support you. So, moral of the story: embrace being a stray kid, embrace being oddinary.

"Yeah, I tried to hide away from all the sorrow and pain
But little did I know that I was going insane
The sun will always be there, waiting after the rain"

Mixin' this and all that, dish be lookin' like fusion
Take a photo, it's bussin' even in lowest resolution
Scrolling through your feed, you see me cookin' up your timeline
I eat up everybody's like and share, hottest trend, ha
Ayy, no pay, just free samples, heyday, ayy
Product sold out, we the best in sellin', ayy
Order so much, trail of receipts blowin', bang, bang
Can't resist it, you'll finish every plate of leftovers, ha
-"super bowl" by stray kids
3racha did not come to play with the lyrics for this song and i am EATING IT UP (pun absolutely intended). i'm rly impressed with how many food and cooking related lyrics they came up with all just to describe stray kids' music and their success. it's so unique and it not only creates a vivid image but also a distinct taste that remains in the listeners' mouths long after the song is over.

𝙇𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙨
난 매일 해 뜨면 더 level up 해
Ma zone like a kingdom Odin
내 구역에서 놀지마 버려 멋부림 센 척하지 마
그래 through that 존심
3RACHA make 돌풍, 누가 쉽게 오겠어
여긴 nobody body can touch this
일단 여기에서 말할게 오지 마 여긴 우리 자리니까 woo!
-
누가 또 우리 구역에 와서 ayy
행패를 부려 이놈의 자슥 ayy
-
하나 더 늘겠군 셰익스피어의 비극
지금이라도 나가는 게 어때요 babe
Y'all already know that
몇 달간 밤새워서 만든 우리만의 요새를
딴 놈에게 뺏길 수는 없잖아
그래서 이 악물고 지키는 거야
누가 뭐래도 I will always protect
-
난 매일이 전쟁 항시 대기하는 공격 자세
아마 이 말은 허세로 들릴 수도 있겠지만
다 물어뜯어 버려 버려 버려 사납게
으르렁대고 재껴 매섭게 날려 잽을 뺏어
내 땅을 다시 take it back to me 땍땍
거려봤자 I don't give a what, ayy
묵묵히 자리 지켜내 zone
-
I look up ahead, nobody, nobody can't stop me
I'll show you the way so follow my, follow my lead, ayy
Ya 남들과는 다르게 (다르게), yah 누구보다 새롭게
Ayy, hold up, hold up
-
Can't you see I'm in my zone
Can't you see I'm in my zone
(Can't you see I'm in)
-
Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) ah upane! ha!
Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) ah upane! ha!
-
(ayy) yo (yo)다 잘 때 달아올라 내 일터
어두운 도심 속 다크나이트
하비 덴트의 반쪽 spearb의 동전 던지기 놀이
내 동전은 백프로 killing 내 벌스를 죽여
수천만 대중의 귀를 빌려 내 목소릴 모니터
-
내가 들어도 좋아 소리쳐
이거보다 나은 건 없어 nothing better
My zone 이곳에서 헤엄쳐
즐거우면 됐지 뭘 더 바래, 더 안 바래, ain't nobody
Do it like this 난 디스 못해
나 스스로 디스 아닌 작업물과 피드백
주고받아 매일이 난 비슷해 지겹단 의미보단
긍정의 의미야 왜냐 매일 축복받아 ayy
내 곡들을 봐라 uh
-
위험-위험-위험해 we don't play
진지하게 한번 가보는 이번 track
아무런 이유 없인 갈 필요 없어
아무런 이유 없인 살 필요 없어
근데 내가 가는 데 있어 내가 사는 데 있어
이유가 충분하다 못해 넘쳐
-
I look up ahead, nobody, nobody can't stop me
I'll show you the way so follow my, follow my lead, ayy
Yah 남들과는 다르게 (다르게), yah 누구보다 새롭게
Ayy, hold up, hold up
-
Can't you see I'm in my zone
Can't you see I'm in my zone
(Can't you see I'm in)

Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) ah upane! ha!
Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) Kia rite (ooh) ah upane! ha!
