Leaving behind my burnt scars, I fly toward tomorrow

I run faster without stopping, keeping embers alive

Every moment, I'm loyal

Breathing rougher and rougher

A forest filled with flowers grown in a greenhouse

Trampled like weeds, still bloom like flowers
bibarame momeul matgyeo chuneun chum right now
Dancing a dance by surrendering my body to storm, right now
nan dasi kkaeeona
I wake up again
nan dasi kkaeeona
I wake up again

SONG MEANING

Feel the heat of survival and self-belief. In “Phoenix,” Stray Kids turn the legendary firebird into a musical rally cry for anyone who has ever been knocked down. The lyrics open with pain and doubt, yet the members quickly swallow the hurt, wake themselves up, and refuse to stay buried in yesterday’s ashes. Every “Rebirth, rebirth” acts like a spark, reminding listeners that scars are not shackles but fuel for a spectacular comeback.

The chorus spreads its wings wide. When Stray Kids shout “We’re gonna rise up again,” they invite us to glide alongside them, feel the air of possibility, and light up the night with our own flames. The song’s rapid rap lines paint images of dancing through storms, blooming after being trampled, and sprinting through endless fire without fear. In the end, “Phoenix” is an anthem of relentless resilience: no matter how fierce the blaze, we can always emerge brighter, stronger, and ready to soar higher than before.
