Pierrot Lyrics in English by LE SSERAFIM

고삘 풀어 [goppil pureo] is a playful, stylized spelling of 고삐 풀어 [goppi pureo], literally “release the reins.” In the song, it means to stop holding back and let yourself go, giving the phrase a rebellious, energetic feel that matches the invitation to sing, dance, and have fun.

The week in "Pierrot" is a loop: "월 화 수 목 금 쳇바퀼 뛰어" (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, running on the hamster wheel), then the same weekend, then Monday again. People tell the singer "입 다물고 work" (shut your mouth and work) and "Good girl 인형이 되렴" (be a good girl, be a doll), and she answers by throwing the plan out: "몰라 이제 계획 따윈 영" (whatever, plans mean zero to me now).

The fix she offers is one reckless day. "Psycho처럼 장마 속을 run" (like a psycho, I run through the monsoon rain), "미친 척 길에 노래 불러" (acting crazy, I sing in the street), and advice goes "한 귀로 흘려" (in one ear and out). She also names the women who went first, "김완선 엄정화 who's next?" (Kim Wan-sun, Uhm Jung-hwa, who's next?) and later "아이유 또 이효리" (IU and Lee Hyori), K-pop soloists who did things their own way, and calls her own group the "crazy girls" of a new era.
