[theqoo] [2022 SM CONCERT] GOT THE BEAT

original post: here

1. They are called Girls On Top but the lyrics are the best definition of 'protecting the squid' (T/N: 오징어지킴/protecting the squid means something that's really ugly but that you keep complimenting to hide its ugliness - usually used for people/couples)

2. I seriously like the composition of the members but the lyrics, f*ck

3. The performance is cool but the song s*cks...ㅜ

4. Even if they poured half of the effort they poured into SuperM, it would've been better than this. Are the lyrics for real? Crazy f*ckers

5. Protecting the squidㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the lyrics killed all the hype in one go...

6. Wow the lyricsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. SM should just use a good foreign song like Next Level instead..

8. Ugh... who wrote the lyrics...

9. the beat is pretty good ㅠ and they are good at singing

10. They have all these vocals and chose to make noise pollution... they are impressive but for the wrong reasons

11. Ha.. should've given them a different song and concept. What a waste of the members

12. Wow Taeyeon

[theqoo] GOT THE BEAT - STEP BACK OFFICIAL LYRICS

[Intro: Karina]

Incoming!

You must step back

[Verse 1: Karina, BoA, Seulgi, Taeyeon]

Who do you think you're looking at?

How dare you go over my head?

You'd better shut your mouth and stand back

Or else give it a go

Try climbing your way up here

Did he have a crush on you?

When we played like a baby

When we were young

I'm sure you flirted some, flirted some, flirted some, quite some bit

Playing with your childhood memories, is it that fun?

[Pre-Chorus: Wendy, Winter, All]

My man is on another level (Level)

You can't even dream about this level (Level)

The one that got me next level (Level)

As you can see, another level

Don't bring it to me

Get outta my way

[Chorus: All, BoA, Seulgi]

Take your hands off of mine

(Step back, step back)

It won't be enough even if you're born again

(Step back, step back)

You're like a poison to the good boys

They become lonelier as they drink more

He's sick and tired everyday

Don't you cross it, borderline

(Step back, step back)

This isn't the place for you

(Step back, step back)

What you tried to hide by weighing was

Your unrestrainable light heart

He's sick and tired everyday

[Verse 2: Hyo, Karina, Winter & Taeyeon, BoA, *Wendy*]

Ayy, does doing that make him yours?

Listen to me

There's a lot more girls like you than you think

True or not, the world still goes around without you, around

You gotta get a good mind

Are you looking for fun?

Looking for some fun again?

Approach with a favor

Calculation is already over

*Like you've found a treasure ship above the ocean*

Making a move

*Start the transaction*

[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi, Taeyeon, All]

You can't even stand this level (Level)

The world is our stage, our level (Level)

It's only possible next to me, level (Level)

As you can see, another level

Don't bring it to me

Get outta my way

[Chorus: All, Winter, Taeyeon, Wendy]

Take your hands off of mine

(Step back, step back)

It won't be enough even if you're born again

(Step back, step back)

You're like a poison to the good boys

They become lonelier as they drink more

He's sick and tired everyday

Don't you cross it, borderline

(Step back, step back)

This isn't the place for you

(Step back, step back)

What you tried to hide by weighing was

Your unrestrainable light heart

He's sick and tired everyday (He's sick and tired)

[Bridge: BoA, Winter, Wendy, Karina, *Hyo*]

Bridge

All those days

I've been together with him

Even with your playful flirting

I won't be swayed

Exchanging an emotion that we call love is too much (Ayy)

Now stop and get lost

Go back to your world

Don't delude yourself again

Boys are the same

All eyes on me when I appear

Everywhere there's a flash

Take pictures, take pictures, take pictures, pose

*Imagination is your freedom

Before you start doing things

From the inside build up

The further you go, you'll get hurt*

Girls, bring it on

[Break: All, Seulgi, Taeyeon]

Step back, step back, step back, silly girl

The only girl who live in a dream

Step back, step back, step back, silly girl

Please stand out of my way, yeah

Don't bring it to me

Get outta my way

[Chorus: All, Wendy, BoA]

Take your hands off of mine

(Step back, step back)

It won't be enough even if you're born again

(Step back, step back)

You're like a poison to the good boys (Ayy)

They become lonelier as they drink more

He's sick and tired everyday

Don't you cross it, borderline

(Step back, step back)

This isn't the place for you

(Step back, step back)

What you tried to hide by weighing was (Woo!)

Your unrestrainable light heart

He's sick and tired everyday

CR: Genius

original post: here

1. People were saying "protecting the squid" so I clicked to see how bad the lyrics were and... who wrote these?

2. To give such a meaningful girl group lyrics like these... seriously, they can't read our needs

3. Protecting the squidㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. F*ck, which era's vibe were they going for? We're in 2022 now right????? I'll pretend that I never heard this song so please just re-release it again.

5. They seriously can't read the trend

6. All the members are like are gathered together to only receive this..

7. ???? What are these lyrics? In 2022...??

8. The part where they say "this is not the place to mix with you/lean on"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even when I wasn't reading the lyrics, I was so turned off by that part (T/n: in the Genius' translation, it says "This isn't the place for you" but some parts are lost in translation)

9. "This is not the place to mix" <-- I was especially taken aback by this part. The YouTube comments were saying things like "how do we mix XX with YY?".. ㅠㅠ

10. Stop making these ahjussis who know nothing about girl crush write lyrics
