“Stagefright” by 8TURN with Romanization and English translation
‘Stagefright’ is a track that expresses the growing fear of loss that deepens with love, and the defensively shifting mind that follows, by comparing it to the relationship between the stage and a performer. It captures the speaker’s paradoxical emotion of endlessly yearning for a presence that seems just within reach yet remains elusive, being swallowed by anxiety, yet ultimately wanting to stay by their side. The calmly murmured confession reveals the rawest truth hidden behind the brilliant stage. Notably, 8TURN members Yungyoo, Jaeyun, and Myungho participated in writing the lyrics, delicately bringing to life the inner emotions that only a player on stage can truly feel. The moment when the fear that threatens to consume them transforms into an intense catharsis becomes the launching pad to break away from their defined orbit and step into the unknown

Woo hoo
Ah ahhhh, Huh huh
What you doin’
The moment I stepped in
No lie in me
Even my shadow’s all yours
You be floating like a ghost
Got me feeling already drunk
Baby you don’t
You don’t know
Tell me what’s right
Burned by the spotlight
Why you got me so confused, so tight
Put on a show
Everybody’s watching
Girl I know you don’t do Stagefright
Got my own light
Don’t need no stage light
All I need is your eyes
You got me, you got me, uh
Paradise

Ain’t nobody else like you
Every day, dancing dangerous

Girl why you waitin’
Closing the distance
My heart is triggered
Take take take and I run right back
Make make make it hurt a little
Little little little, Just a little
Make it hurt a little
Little little little, Just a little
Make it hurt a little
Under unfamiliar eyes
Got a little shaken
Just tell me where the key is How do I find it?
Been crying for no reason lately
Girl I’m not just saying it
If you wanna play me like a fiddle I’m okaying it
Tell me you won’t say you won’t get tired of me
At least when I look back, no regrets
Hands up clap
Tip my cap
Curtain falls at the end
Burning in sight
Your eyes are already a spotlight
If it’s wrong, ride or die
Put on a show
Everybody’s watching
Girl I know you don’t do Stagefright
Burning up
Catching my breath
All I need is your eyes
You got me, you got me, uh
Paradise
On a high
Ain’t nobody else like you
Every step
Every time
You push me to the edge, ooh
We’re never locked in
Uh, you keep droppin’ in
Closing the distance
My heart is triggered
Take take take and I run right back
Make make make it hurt a little
Little little little, Just a little
Make it hurt a little
Little little little, Just a little
Make it hurt a little
Little little little, Just a little
Hurt a little
Take take take and I run right back
