Hush-Hush Lyrics (English Translation) – BE:FIRST & ATEEZ

[Intro]
Who the hell are you?
(BE:FIRST)
Who the hell are you?
(ATEEZ)
Who the hell are you?
Who the hell are you?

[Refrain]
Gotta wake up
(Gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up
(Gotta wake up)

Gotta wake up
We’re gonna kill it

[Verse 1]
The sun has now gone down
Breathe in the dark (middle)
Pack it up, we have no time to waste, no time to wait
Get out there right now and make it happen
I’ve been on my grind for a long time
All to grab at this time

[Verse 2]
Big step, hush, hush
You can’t see me escape
Undercover, who expect
A and B CD
Every first place, yeah

[Verse 3]
Hollaback The moon shines
Draws an outline again in the darkness
An explosion from under my feet that I can’t see with my big body
By the time I realize it, you can’t capture us

[Pre-Chorus]
In an unfulfilled night
Hyung ren yeon 땀방울이

The story I’ve polished
I swear to
I swear to God

[Refrain]
Gotta go, gotta wake up
Gotta go, gotta wake up
Gotta go, gotta wake up
Gotta go, gotta wake up

[Chorus]
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush)
The times are changing without me realizing
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush)
By the time the world finds out

[Post-Chorus]
I’m doing like this
I’m doing like that
I’m doing like this
I’m doing like it, “Hush”

[Verse 4]
My heart just gotta go
Sometimes I feel like a ghost
On the way out

[Verse 5]
Unchanging
We’re living in metafiction
On top of it (on top of it)
The crown snatched by a laughed underdog

[Verse 6]
I can’t do it
Peace sign for all of us (Peace sign)
Who is first? It doesn’t matter what you think
We’re different like ATEEZ and BE:FIRST

[Chorus]
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush)
We’re the vortex, we’re the wave, yeah
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush, oh)
We’re the wave, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah
Kiss my burning passion
Simple
Just between you and me
I know we can change the world

[Chorus]
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush)
Times change without us realizing, yeah
Turn you on (Hush-hush)
Can’t wait to go (Hush-hush)
(Woah)
When the world finds out

[Post-Chorus]
I’m doing like this (Hush-Hush)
I’m doing like that (Hush-Hush)
I’m doing like this (Hush-Hush)
I’m doing like it, “Hush”
