[FULL LYRICS – ROMANIZATION & ENGLISH ONLY]
Close your eyes and focus—the next moment, a carousel spins through your mind, pulling you deeper into the unconscious where you fall instantly. Lies don’t work here, so spill everything honestly. Goosebumps rise across your body as the feeling called love hits with a sharp thrill. Your heart pumps as if it might burst, and you’re caught red-handed, mind ringing with a dizzy rush—that’s the chill, the shiver you can’t hide. A quiet laugh slips out, your intuition never wrong—how do you feel right now? It’s that shiver again.
As you regain consciousness, you try to brush me off—cute tricks won’t work anymore. You chose the wrong person to play with. Ambiguous attitudes end here; refuse me if you dare—I like it. Maybe this is even better for me; I’ll torment you plenty. Through the fog, a voice, and at the crossroads, your choice. Love feels like a chilling shiver, heart pounding wildly, mind struck with a dizzy ache—that’s the feeling.
Look into my eyes—your electric gaze is archived in me. I don’t need your lies; the heart you can’t hide dives toward me. Your hesitant movements fall deeper, and now you know—love is that shiver. Surviving in danger, you eventually come to me, turning me upside down. And that, too, is a shiver. I la-la-like it, even if the feeling is frightening and drives me close to madness.
