IVE (아이브) – SNAKESKIN Lyrics

SNAKESKIN (IVE)

The song explores personal transformation, breaking free from limitations, and embracing a stronger version of oneself. It portrays someone leaving behind an old identity, shedding false expectations, and stepping beyond their comfort zone despite the pain of change. Through the metaphor of a snake shedding its skin, the song celebrates rebirth, courage, and the freedom that comes from confronting fears and discovering untapped potential. Ultimately, it encourages listeners to let go of the past, embrace change, and fearlessly become who they are meant to be.

Hangul

한층 깊어진 내 눈빛
나를 벗어 던질 시간이 됐지
Uh-huh, it’s true
Looks like me, but version two

익숙했던 이 공간이
이젠 참을 수 없이 비좁아진 느낌
Uh-huh, it’s true
마지막 인사, 안녕

까만 하늘 가득
깨진 것처럼 금이 가
균열을 뚫고 깨어나
And it’s time to

Take it off like a snakeskin
다시 태어난 오늘을 축하해
Shakin’ off all that fake things
고통 뒤에 오는 건 참 달콤해

어제와는 다른 숨
더 강해진 기분
누구도 날 꺾을 수 없어

Take it off like a snakeskin
다른 세계에 온 나를 환영해

아직 가뿐하니 난 좀 더 Speed it up
모래 언덕 위를 거칠게 Running up
부딪혀 나를 시험해 볼 Timing
나의 한계는 아직 미지의 영역임

I’m just diving
끝에 닿을 때까지
I’m just flying
네가 보고 있는 천장을 난 뚫고 날아가

이 보호막이
더 이상 필요 없어 난
안전한 덫을 벗어나
And it’s time to

Take it off like a snakeskin
다시 태어난 오늘을 축하해
Shakin’ off all that fake things
고통 뒤에 오는 건 참 달콤해

어제와는 다른 숨
더 강해진 기분
누구도 날 꺾을 수 없어

Take it off like a snakeskin
다른 세계에 온 나를 환영해

Look, no fear, I shed my skin
I know I can, I can, eh, eh, eh
Look, no fear, I shed my skin
I know I can, I can, eh, eh, eh

I know I can, I can, eh, eh, eh
I know I can, I can, eh, eh, eh

Take it off like a snakeskin
다시 태어난 오늘을 축하해
Shakin’ off all that fake things
고통 뒤에 오는 건 참 달콤해

어제와는 다른 숨
더 강해진 기분
누구도 날 꺾을 수 없어

Take it off like a snakeskin
다른 세계에 온 나를 환영해
