NCT U - 백열등 (Light Bulb) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
So I switch off
That wake up call
It hasn't been long since the sun went down
My timetable of living
Even though I know it's not enough time to see you
I'm hurrying to visit
At any moment, the light bulb in your house will turn off
As if to express our relationship is
On and off, and on and off and on
Like scolding me for being neglected
A flickering light, as if you were whining
How many times has this happened already?
I'm careless, in a battle of meaningless emotions
Scratching and hurting each other so that it doesn't die away
You are keeping the good, because my rеputation is already bad with your friends

[Pre-Chorus]
So I switch off, I'll turn you off
So I switch off, waking me up
So I switch off
I'm trying to forgеt you, so I keep up with my own thing
Don't keep up with my updates
I need more of that wake up calls, that wake up call
I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back

[Chorus]
It's like a flickering light bulb
Blinking, blinking
I think it's gonna turn off any minute
Blinking, blinking
It's blinking, blinking
Blinking and blinking
I am the one shaking

[Verse 2]
Hung on the wall like a landscape, you and me in a picture
We looked happy, I can't find it now
We're too busy frowning, nobody loves that
There's nothing you want to argue about
Why the hell would I want to make you cry with nonsense?
You grabbed me and pushed me, the only thing we're good at
I remembered and erased it, and that's a chaos
Who loves more, who loves more, which one of us said "let's break up" more
Let's stop with that
I need to know if you're tired of it
I'm no longer here, I don't think I can handle it

[Pre-Chorus]
So I switch off, I'll turn you off
So I switch off, waking me up
So I switch off
I'm trying to forget you, so I keep up with my own thing
Don't keep up with my updates
I need more of that wake up calls
That wake up call
I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back

[Chorus]
It's like a flickering light bulb
Blinking, blinking
I think it's gonna turn off any minute
Blinking, blinking
It's blinking, blinking
Blinking and blinking
I am the one shaking

[Bridge]
Hung on the wall like a landscape, you and me in a picture
(I've been awaken all night long)
I still have feelings for you, why don't you want to see it?
With a cold stare, I'm gonna turn you off for a while

[Chorus]
It's like a flickering light bulb
Blinking, blinking
I think it's gonna turn off any minute
Blinking, blinking
It's blinking, blinking
Blinking and blinking
I am the one shaking
It's blinking, blinking
Blinking and blinking

[Outro]
So I switch off
I'm trying to forget you, so I keep up with my own thing
Don't keep up with my updates
I need more of that wake up calls
That wake up call
I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back
