When I'm just sitting motionless and defeated, as if I've lost all purpose
geuttae nae ape natanan neoui
That's when you appeared before me
ttatteuthan misowa songire
With your warm smile and touch
Chorus 2
chorahan nobodyeseo dasi somebody
From a shabby nobody back to a somebody
teukbyeolhan naro byeonhae
I transform into someone special
Chorus 2
sesangi amuri nal jujeoachyeodo
No matter how much the world pushes me down
apeugo apeun maldeuri nal jjilreodo
Even if painful words stab me
nega isseo nan dasi useo
Because you're here, I can smile again
Postchorus 2
amugeotdo anin jonjae gatdagado
Even when I feel like I'm nothing
sarajyeodo moreul saram gatdagado
Even when I feel like I'd disappear unnoticed

With your voice calling out to me
you make everything alright

On a day when the clouds cover the sky and no sunlight breaks through

You're exactly my shining light

Even the darkest night turns into day again
Chorus 3

Even if painful words stab me

주저앉혀도 — Even if you make me collapse/sink down
주저앉혀도 comes from the verb 주저앉히다, meaning 'to cause someone to collapse' or 'to force someone to sink down defeated'. It's a vivid and emotional word, far more expressive than simply saying 'make me sad'.
In this powerful verse, TWICE sings "세상이 아무리 날 주저앉혀도" (No matter how much the world tries to knock me down and make me collapse). The word captures the feeling of being so overwhelmed by hardship that your legs give out, setting up a beautiful contrast with the support they receive that helps them rise again. It's a dramatic, song-specific term perfect for a memorable lesson.
Have you ever had one of those days? The kind where you feel totally alone, like you don't fit in anywhere? TWICE gets it. The song starts by describing exactly that feeling: "갑자기 혼자인 것만 같은 날" (Days when I suddenly feel all alone) and feeling like a "초라한 nobody" (a shabby nobody). It's about those moments when your confidence is gone and you just want to hide.
But then, someone special comes along and changes everything. This song is a huge thank you to that person. Just hearing them say how precious you are makes everything feel alright. When the world tries to bring you down with "아프고 아픈 말들이 날 찔러도" (even when hurtful words stab me), their presence is enough to make you smile again. It's a powerful and sweet message about how one person's love and support can make you feel like a somebody, reminding you that you are, in fact, very special.
