Japanese

Now I see this way
It’s looks like purple line
Gotta introduce myself

振られることさえ出来ないって
自身、暗鬼に捕らわれて
身動き一つ取れない 時もある

Really wanna touch myself
奇跡を願っていても
自分の心が強く
無くちゃ進めない
Right now!

[サビ #1]
Purple line let me set up my world
誰も歩いたこと無い This way
夢を抱いて 生き方を探し続けてる
自分らしく My progression
強い気持ちを持って
(ここで始める) 解けてみせる
情熱の Purple Line

切れ直す度に
心が制御の方に なってしまうけど
逃げないさ

僕が成長していくためのが手だと
自分に生(行)かせながら
乗り越えてゆける
Right Now!

[サビ #2]
Purple line let me set up my world
誰も歩いたこと無い This way
希望を抱いて 未来を見つめ続けてる
願いを籠めて My Progression
決して諦めないで
(ここで始める) 解けてみせる
真実の Purple Line

今のこの瞬間を
胸に刻みながら
映画のように時を描こう
昨日よりも価値有る今へ
進化を遂げる予感 イメージして
Ohh!

Yo! Check it!
失ってしまうような これの考え方
We must be lovin’ our way
進めなきゃダメさ
Let me 強い
自分のsubjectives that you do
Keep on working like that
Only your goal 決め
All of your(our) past 飛ばせ
Show you was be tweaked

[Ohh..] In spite my black and white [Ohh yeah]
[It’s like ohh] 光と闇がsouth and north like [..take me away]
They *** got *** upon me
Everything you see on this primitive world [see primitive world]
進めるように
避けて 続けてる my Soul
We got our “purple” like that
My time is still going on

English

now i see this way
it’s looks like purple line
gotta introduce myself

(I) can’t move even an inch
(My) body captivated by fears
there’s a time when I’m being frozen

really wanna touch myself
even though I wish for miracles
(those) miracles won’t come true if I don’t have strong heart*
right now

p/s: * “heart” here may means the belief or will to achieve your goals/aims

purple line let me set up my world
the path that nobody ever walked this way
while embracing my dreams*, i’m searching for my way
to live my on way My progression
holding this strong inclination
(here it begins) i will (solve)
the passion of Purple Line

p/s: *”dreams” here may means the strong will or desire to achieve something

when I decide to start it again*
my heart went under control*
but i won’t run away

p/s: * “start it again” here may means to start all the things from the beginning ; “my heart went under control” may means he/she still has a doubt on the things she had decides, being in unclear situation whether to go on with his/her “new” decision or just continuing the one he/she already has before.

If this is the way to lead me become a man*
Then I’m going for it in order to get over it
Right now

p/s: i used *man here instead of direct translation “mature person/growth person”.

purple line let me set up my world
the path that nobody ever walked this way
while embracing my wishes/hopes, i’m looking for my future
wishes/hopes filled My progression
(so that) I never give up I will (solve)
the truth of Purple Line

the moments at this time
I let them tick away in my heart*
I draw a time like a story*
l put (back) the higher value of (my) today than yesterday
by imagining* of i’m accomplishing (my aims)

p/s:* “imagine” here doesn’t mean “dream”, but to “set” in (your) mind the path to your success.

p/s: *”i let them tick away in my heart” means he/she precious the time he/she has now, for he/she might had waste it in the past; “i draw a time like a story” (forgive my weak English here!) here means he/she’s planning what he/she wants to do from now on.

Yo! Check it!
This kind of thought that seems to fade away
We must be lovin’ our way
We have to move forward
Let me be strong
(On) My subjectives That you do
Keep on working like that
Decides only your goal
Throw away all of your(our) past
Show you was be tweaked

[Ohh..] In spite my black and white [Ohh yeah]
[It’s like ohh] Light and shadow.. south and north like [..take me away]
They *** got *** upon me
Everything you see on this primitive world [see primitive world]
For the sake for me to go on
(Once) I keep away from it then I continue my soul
We got our “purple” like that
My time is still going on

Repeat [Chorus]

P/S:**** is MISSING PART

Did YOU know that they sang so many lines in english???? Cause i certainly didn’t pick it up when i heard the song XD The only English words I heard were “purple line” and Micky’s “really wanna touch myself” (and btw i still don’t get why he said that =.=)

When Nanshi first told me that they were singing “we got our [purple] like that” I was like whaaaaat?? -When i listened to it I thought they were singing “We gotta pump it like that” which still doesn’t make that much sense but still – My favourite part in the song would have to be all the “ohh”s and “oh yeah”s that Jae does XDD Least favourite would have to be the rap…everytime i hear it it makes me want to get a megaphone, go up Yunho and say “USE YOUR DIAPHRAGM!!!” – seriously i love the guy (he’s my favourite dancer, along with Donghae, Eunhyuk and Hangeng) but the producers needs to tell him to never ever ever ever sing/rap through his nose, it sounds really weird :|

On a brighter note, I LOVE THIS SONG, and the lyrics are really quite entertaining (what exactly is the meaning of “purple line”??)
