Obsessed with Youth (Xdinary Heroes)
The song explores the struggles, recklessness, and emotional intensity of youth, reflecting on a past filled with mistakes, wounds, and relentless attempts to find one’s direction. It portrays an individual who gradually comes to understand the value of those imperfect experiences and refuses to let the passion and dreams of youth fade away. Through memories of hardship and a meaningful connection that provides strength and purpose, the song embraces both the pain and beauty of growing up. Ultimately, it celebrates resilience, self-discovery, and the determination to hold on to the spirit of youth as an essential part of one’s identity.

Yeah, I was a mess
I kept asking why
Young and reckless heart
A once rough heart
Couldn’t handle myself
Not wandering, but igniting
Though I stumbled
My feet just couldn’t stop
Imperfect youth
Wound and bruise
Now I know why
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade
I can’t let go
You’re the reason why
Every season that passed me by
All the youth that went to waste
Keep me alive, yeah
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Marching with no destination
Bungee jumping off the eroded cliff
I’ve carried on through reckless moments
No matter, (cause) whenever
Fate’s attitude is always the same
So never, (don’t) forget ’em
Craving that everglow
Perfect youth
Wound and bruise
Now I know why
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade
I can’t let go
You’re the reason why
Every season that passed me by
All the youth that went to waste
Keep me alive, yeah
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Dancing in the rain
Like crying out,
sinking into you
Just notice me like this
Stay a little longer,
though I’m shaken and hurt time and again
Just stay a little longer here
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade away
Because you became my breath
You make me survive
You’re the reason why
Every season that will change again
All the youth that will race through time
That’s the proof of who we are
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth

Hangul
Yeah, I was a mess
I kept asking why
치기 어린 심장
거칠었던 마음
Couldn’t handle myself
방황 아닌 발화
휘청거렸지만
멈출 수 없던 두 발
불완전했던 youth
상처 그리고 bruise
Now I know why
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade
난 포기할 수 없어
You’re the reason why
스쳐 간 모든 계절이
낭비된 모든 젊음이
Keep me alive, yeah
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
도착지 없는 행진
깎인 절벽에 번지
무모한 순간들을 이어온 거야
No matter, (cause) whenever
운명의 태도는 똑같지
So never, (don’t) forget ‘em
갈망해 everglow
완전했던 youth
상처 그리고 bruise
Now I know why
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade
난 포기할 수 없어
You’re the reason why
스쳐 간 모든 계절이
낭비된 모든 젊음이
Keep me alive, yeah
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
빗속에 춤을 추고
울부짖는 듯
젖어들어 네게로
이런 나를 좀 알아달라고
더 머물러 줘
수없이 흔들리고 아파도
Just stay a little longer here
So kiss the days of glory
Never let them fade away
나의 숨이 돼준 너라서
You make me survive
You’re the reason why
또다시 변할 계절이
시간을 달릴 젊음이
That’s the proof of who we are
So I wanna be obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
Obsessed with youth
