When I hold your hand, I keep looking like a child
nal geureoke boji malrago nadapji anke eorigwangeul buryeo
I act childish, unlike myself, telling you not to look at me like that
neowa du nuneul matchugoseo han georeum deo negero
After meeting your eyes, one more step towards you
gyehoegeul sewobwado yeojeonhi ne ape seomyeon naneun aeya
Even if I make a plan, I'm still a child when I stand in front of you
geujeo chakgagilkka
Is it just a misunderstanding?
swipge kkeuti nalkka
Will it end easily?
deo gakkai
Closer
dagaga negero dako sipeo
I want to approach and reach you
gyehoegeul sewobwado yeojeonhi ne ape seomyeon naneun
Even if I make a plan, when I stand in front of you, I'm still
neowa du nuneul matchugoseo han georeum deo negero
After meeting your eyes, one more step towards you
gyehoegeul sewobwado yeojeonhi ne ape seomyeon naneun aeya
Even if I make a plan, I'm still a child when I stand in front of you
sarang apeseon aeya
A child in front of love

해독제 — antidote
해독제 (haedokje) literally translates to "antidote". It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word to find in a love song, making it particularly memorable.
In "Mixtape : OH", the lyrics express a deep, almost overwhelming desire for someone, describing the feeling as "독해" (dokhae), meaning "poisonous" or "toxic". The singer then declares, "너만이 해독제" (neomani haedokje), meaning "only you are the antidote". This powerful metaphor beautifully conveys how the person they love is the only cure for their intense, consuming emotions, making the word highly impactful and unique in this context.
Stray Kids' "Mixtape : OH" perfectly captures that exhilarating, slightly awkward feeling of falling for someone new! Our narrator is completely smitten, admitting, "내 손이 네게 닿을 때 서로의 눈빛에 처음 느껴본 감정에 숨이 차" [When my hand touches yours, in each other's eyes, I'm breathless from a feeling I've never felt before]. It's a feeling so intense, they know "이건 설명이 안 돼 절대 그저 그런 게 아닌 걸 알아 더 욕심나니까" [This can't be explained, I know it's definitely not just 'whatever' because I want more].
What's really fun is how they describe feeling like a total kid around this person. Even though they thought they knew it all, "I thought I knew 다 아는 듯이 당당했지만 But I didn't know, with you 다가갈수록 왜 더 어려워지는데" [I thought I knew, I was confident as if I knew everything, But I didn't know, with you, why does it get harder the closer I get?]. They even confess, "계획을 세워봐도 여전히 네 앞에 서면 나는 애야" [Even if I make a plan, when I stand in front of you, I'm still a child]. It's a sweet, honest look at how love can make even the most confident person feel a little clumsy and vulnerable. They just want to be close, asking, "Can I call you baby? 사랑 앞에선 baby" [Can I call you baby? In front of love, I'm a baby].
