Stray Kids Lyrics in English Stray Kids

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Stray Kids by Stray Kids from Korean to English.
eorin naui bunhwague teojyeo nawatdeon galdeung
The conflict that once erupted from the young crater inside me
nuni gamgil ttaejjeum muneojyeo naeryeotdeon noryeokdeul
The efforts that collapsed when my eyes were about to close
Every part of me haenaeyaman haetdeon geunaldeurui himdeul
Every part of me, the hardship of those days I had no choice but to endure
sogeseo beotyeotne ijen jarangseureoun geu ireum 'cause
I endured from within, now that name is something I'm proud of 'cause
dongwa myeongye jung mwol deo wonhae
What do you want more, money or fame?
soljiki deo manheun geol barago dalryeotji yoksim kkeute nameun geon my team
Honestly, I ran wanting more, and in the end of my greed, what was left was my team
geu mueotgwado bakkul su eopneun gachi another me
A value that I could never trade for anything else, another me
eoduun teoneoreul georeumyeo geuryeotji uriui cheongsajin
Walking through a dark tunnel, we drew our blueprint
cheongchuneul paratda saenggak an hae sal su eopneun kkume san geoji
I never thought I sold my youth, I just lived in a dream I couldn't live without
georeoon i gireul we don't leave
We don't leave the path we've walked
yeongwoneun eopdaedo I believe
Even if there's no eternity, I believe
Who we are eonjekkajina mijeo nal
Who we are, always believe in me

SONG MEANING

Stray Kids is an adrenaline-pumping pep talk set to pounding beats. The group shouts out their mission to carve their own path, racing toward “places still unknown” on a metaphorical Hellevator that only goes up. Money and fame are tempting, yet the members decide that the real treasure is their unbreakable team spirit and the music they create on their own terms. The repeated line “Stray Kids still gonna rock” drives home their fearless attitude: they will keep running, keep dreaming, and keep making noise no matter what the world thinks.

At its heart, the song is a celebration of self-belief and resilience. The lyrics acknowledge past struggles—sleepless nights, inner conflicts, and dark tunnels—but flip them into fuel for a brighter future. By refusing to “give a what,” Stray Kids encourage listeners to stay true to themselves, trust their companions, and sprint toward their goals without looking back. It is an empowering reminder that the journey may be tough, yet every step counts, and the rhythm never stops.
