About the Song
《Lullaby》 is a softer and more intimate track by CORTIS from the album COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, released in 2025 under BigHit Music. Compared with the group’s louder and more rebellious tracks, the song carries a calmer emotional tone, using the idea of a lullaby to express comfort, vulnerability, and a quiet moment of honesty. Composed and written by Martin, James, Supreme Boi, Hiss noise, and Seonghyeon, 《Lullaby》 shows a more delicate side of CORTIS, blending warm emotion, youthful sincerity, and restrained production into a track that feels gentle, personal, and quietly memorable.

ppal-gae-jin na-eui nun-gwa si-rin sae-byeok
My red eyes and the chilly dawn
gae-rae-do nal jae-wo
But still, put me to sleep
bam-eul sae-wo si-gan-deu-reul dae-yeo
Borrowing time, staying up all night
jam-do bu-jok-han-de kkum-eul wae kkwwo?
Why dream when sleep is lacking?
ji-na-gat-deon ma-eum-deu-reul se-myeo
na-meun chin-gu-deul-gwa sip-dae-reul dep-hyeo
chin-gu-deu-reun nae pyeon
Counting the hearts that have passed
Warming up the teenage years with remaining friends
Friends are on my side
you got work
but in this moment
quiet first!
you got work
but in this moment
quiet first!
The lyrics confront the grueling reality of unyielding hard work and ambition, juxtaposing a cold, sleep-deprived youth with an intense drive to succeed. The narrator details the isolation of long nights spent chasing monetary and professional milestones, questions the necessity of traditional dreaming when life itself demands constant motion, and yet finds profound comfort in a quiet moment of camaraderie with remaining friends. This ironical lullaby serves as a rare, brief sanctuary where the relentless pressure of the daily grind is temporarily forced into a quiet stillness to soothe their exhausted youth.
