펜촉 literally means the nib or tip of a pen, the part that actually touches the paper.

In the song, it appears in the line about writing so many achievements that the ink on the 펜촉 will never dry out. It’s a vivid, unusual word for a lyric, turning a small everyday object into a powerful metaphor for endless creativity, effort, and ambition.

Stray Kids are not here to play around. "CREED" is a powerful declaration of their work ethic and self-belief. They state their core principle right away: "I give life to my words / I reach heights from the dirt." This isn't just talk; they promise their actions are as strong as their boasts, saying, "You know I bite the way I bark." They see their journey as a constant climb, making their own way instead of taking the easy route because, as they see it, "쉽고 빠른 건 악마가 만든 향기로운 꽃" (Easy and fast things are fragrant flowers made by the devil).

This whole song is about their commitment to their 'creed' or set of beliefs. They're all about authenticity and hard work, rejecting anything fake. They believe that pretense will only lead to your own downfall, calling it "스스로 파버릴 무덤과 덫" (A grave and a trap you dig for yourself). Instead, they stick to their plan, overcoming obstacles with a cool "파쿠르 slide, jump" (parkour slide, jump) and moving at their own pace. They're confident that by staying true to themselves and their music, they'll become *"the ones that they wanna be like."
