In my DNA, blue blood runs
Speak more honestly, tired of pretending to be nice
In front of us, rules
Were meaningless anyway
Even if trends come and go, I’m not in that mold already

Jump around noisily
Shining more on countless variations of colorful charms
Throw off what’s frustrating
No need to bow your head

I trust my judgment
I have a lot to say
Spit it out without mosaic
I enjoy this troublesome
No one can bite me
If you want, come try me
You’re invited anytime
I’m the villain in a thriller
My motto is to act instead of thinking

The song declares a bold break from conventional rules and the tiresome expectation to always act “nice.” It celebrates a rebellious spirit that finds beauty in irregularities and non-conformity, confidently challenging others to “catch them” while embracing the role of a charismatic villain.
