NCT 127 - 뿔 (MAD DOG) (English Translation) Lyrics
Mm, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Taeyong]
Jumping on my trauma, already wear pajamas
Stay comfortable. You can't handle it, nada
Horns are growing inside my heart, ya
What are you looking at? Hurry up and run away
[Pre-Chorus: Taeyong]
Drop it, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
Horns on the heart
There's a fire, let it blow
Drop it again, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
If you touch it, it'll explode
I'm a really mad dog (Woo, woo, woo)
[Chorus: Taeyong]
Until now it was a teaser, Look forward to mad dog (Yeah, really mad dog)
If you touch me, I'll explode, I’m a really mad dog (Yeah)
Let’s jump now, Let’s run mad dog (Yeah, really mad dog)
If you touch me, I'll explode, I'm a really mad dog (Woo)
[Verse 2: Mark]
Hunt or be huntеd, my collar is empty
Two or three dog years 100, only sky's the limit
So that you don’t gеt caught by the ankle, all day flying around okay
Strictly as strictly, we go hard, fire it up, mayday
Drop it, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
At this rate
Maybe at the end everything will be gone
I said drop it, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
We blow with the bass drop
It's time for mad dog (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Mark]
Until now it was a teaser, Look forward to mad dog (Woo, hey, talkin' mad dog)
If you touch me, I'll explode, I'm a really mad dog (Woo)
[Bridge: Doyoung, Taeil]
The red light swaying in the dark
Welcome to the party
Paint the shadows of the gray city
Welcome to my nightmare
[Verse 3: Mark]
What's that on your mind?
Feeling alienated
I'ma tear opinions down
I'm the alien in your dreams
Deep in your heart, horns grow
We making a new world
Come in with me
Hold on, yeah, you know us
You know we run the scene (Scene)
Yeah, bow politely
The screen is becoming clearer (Screen)
Shout, "Mea culpa", Soon i’ll step on it
Yeah, this is how we do it
No flex, keep it moving no
[Pre-Chorus: Taeyong, Mark ]
Drop it, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
Every minute and every second is precious
Drop it again, let it go (Go)
Pop it, let it show (Show)
If you touch it, it'll explode
I'm a mad dog (Woo)
Say it
[Chorus: Mark, Taeyong]
Until now it was just a teaser, Look forward to mad dog (Woo)
If you touch it, it'll explode, I'm a really mad dog (Woo)
(Hey, let's go, hey, let's go)
Let’s jump now, Let’s run mad dog (Woo)
(Okay, okay)
If you touch it, it'll explode, I'm a really mad dog (Woo)
No flex, yeah
Uh, huh
I'm 'bout to blow
If you touch it, it'll explode, I'm a really mad dog (Woo)
About
“MAD DOG” is a song filled with NCT 127’s distinctively eccentric sound. It is those attention-grabbing samples intertwining with lyrics sung by the group that perfectly support the song’s meaning.
Throughout the lyrics, it can be seen that the group is struggling with their fears. They constantly describe that fear with the lyrics, “Horns are growing inside my heart,” but learn to not succumb to it. Instead, with a powerful instrumental, the lyrics express the group’s decision to let go of their fears.
They also don’t fail to address the listener who might have experienced something similar to what they did; their experience of being fearful and in pain. In Verse 3 all the way to the end, the group addresses those struggling and inspires them to let those fears all go as well.
NCT 127 becomes a “MAD DOG” in order to free themselves and others from the pain and fears they used to let control them. With reverberating vocals, passionate rap, and commanding lyrics, intertwined with an equally powerful instrumental, the song ignites a fire; a fire encouraging both the group and the listener to not surrender to fear.
