Boy boy boy 거기 비켜 어서
The -아/어 imperative of 비키다 (to move aside): 비켜 = move aside! Bold and direct — the song's first attitude line.
Pattern: [verb stem] + -아/어 = imperative (casual)
Example: 거기 비켜 어서 (Move aside over there, hurry)
우린 Love love love 따위 하긴 바빠
하다 (do) → 하긴 (하 + 긴 emphasis, 'true, but...') → 바빠 (casual 바쁘다). 'Too busy doing big things for love' — pure swagger.
Pattern: [verb] + -고 바쁘다 = busy doing…
Example: Love love love 따위 하긴 바빠 (Too busy for love love love and all that)
여긴 War war war 자비 따윈 없어
따위 after a noun means 'trivial stuff like this', with contempt. 따윈 = 따위 + 은. 자비 따윈 없어 = no such thing as mercy.
Pattern: [noun] + 따위 (+는/도) = such (trivial) things as…
Example: 자비 따윈 없어 (There's no such thing as mercy)
날 막는다면 Slay it
막다 (to block) + -는다면 = if (you try to) block. -는다면 emphasizes the hypothesis more than -면 — a 'go ahead, try it' challenge.
Pattern: [verb] + -는다면 = if…
Example: 날 막는다면 Slay it (If you try to stop me, slay it)
남자들의 뻔한 가식
남자들 (men) + 의 (of/'s) + 뻔한 가식 (predictable pretense). -의 links two nouns in a possessive relation, like 's in English.
Pattern: [noun] + 의 + [noun] = …'s…
Example: 남자들의 뻔한 가식 (Men's predictable pretense)
영웅은 조금의 흔들릴 틈 없이
흔들리다 (to waver) + -ㄹ = that will waver (future modifier). 틈 없이 = without a gap. No room to waver at all.
Pattern: [verb] + -ㄹ + [noun] = that will…
Example: 조금의 흔들릴 틈 없이 (without even a moment to waver)
입술이 다 번져도
번지다 (to smear/spread) + -아도 = even if smears. Even if the lipstick runs, so what — keep being cool.
Pattern: [verb] + -아/어도 = even if…
Example: 입술이 다 번져도 (Even if my lips smear)
독하다 해 That’s my name
독하다 (fierce) + -다고 해 = (they) say (it's) fierce. 해 is casual 하다. People call you fierce? Fine — that's my name. Turning criticism into a title.
Pattern: [adjective/verb] + -다고 해 = (they) say…
Example: 독하다 해 That's my name (Call me fierce — that's my name)
그 겁에 질린 눈빛도 참 못됐으니까
못됐다 (wicked) + -으니까 (reason) = because (it's) so wicked. -니까 is the most common casual 'because', explaining what came before.
Pattern: [verb/adjective] + -(으)니까 = because…
Example: 참 못됐으니까 (because it's so wicked)
뛰어들 테지 더 뜨겁게
뛰어들다 (to dive in) + -테지 (contraction of -ㄹ 터이지; confident guess/intention) = I'll dive in, surely. -테지 carries 'of course it'll happen' certainty.
Pattern: [verb] + -테지 = will surely…
Example: 뛰어들 테지 더 뜨겁게 (I'll dive in, even more passionately)
