NCT 127 - Playback (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro]
Playback

[Verse 1: Taeyong, Haechan, Mark, Jaehyun]
Why am I like a cogwheel?
Repeating words again and again (Oh)
Always having the same behavior as a habit
My unchanging attitude of always looking for you

Yeah, without you
I don't know, as usual
All the time we spent together feels like a delusion

You are in the sad memories
That I always replay countless times


[Pre-Chorus: Taeil]
The wheel spins again and eventually
I'm running inside it again, I

[Chorus: All]
Playback, I see you endlessly, why are you doing this?
I replay every moment
You appear in my head, déjà vu
Even if I forget everything and move on, I always go back to that time
Playback, playing your mеmory once again
Like a spinning clockwork
Your name lingеrs endlessly in this moment
That playback, playback, yeah
[Verse 2: Johnny, Jaehyun, Taeyong, Jungwoo]
The music I listen to, yeah, everytime
Turns into a clear voice, yeah, that finds me
I greet you again with the same attraction
Woah, I want it, your warmth
You're everywhere, come visit me again

Why does this happen every time I go around? Woah

[Pre-Chorus: Doyoung, Haechan]
I'm running inside the wheel up until now
Yeah, every moment of the night, with no pause

[Chorus: All]
Playback, I see you endlessly, why are you doing this?
I replay every moment
You appear in my head, déjà vu
Even if I forget everything and move on, I always go back to that time
Playback, playing your memory once again
Like a spinning clockwork
Your name lingers endlessly in this moment
That playback, playback, yeah

[Post-Chorus: All, Mark]
Take me back
Take me, take me, take me back
Take me, take me back
Take me, take me, take me back (Playback)
Take me back
Take me, take me, take me back
Take me playback, playback, yeah
[Bridge: Taeil, Jungwoo, Yuta, Haechan, *Doyoung*]
Time can't be medicine (I see)
Could we do it one more time?
Oh, woah
*Play ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-back
I want you, playback*

[Chorus: All, Taeil]
Playback, I see you endlessly, why are you doing this?
I replay every moment
You appear in my head, déjà vu (You are déjà vu)
Even if I forget everything and move on, I always go back to that time (Always back in that time)
Playback, playing your memory once again
Like a spinning clockwork
(We gon' playback playback, we gon' stay back, stay back)
Your name lingers endlessly in this moment
That playback, playback, yeah

[Post-Chorus: All, Taeyong]
Take me back
Take me, take me, take me back
Take me, take me back
Take me, take me, take me back (Playback)
Take me back
Take me, take me, take me back
Take me playback, playback, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
