Combo Lyrics

[Korean]

[Verse 1]
Call me by name where my heart sways
나의 시간이 온 듯해
저 햇빛 속에 거친 바람을 타
(우린 시인이야 노래야)
긴 잠에서 막 깨어나
아픔이 뭔지도 몰라
Call me by fate where my heart sways
꿈들이 속삭인 곳에

[Pre-Chorus]
넌 날 무너뜨리고 다시 일으켜
결국 날 숨 쉬게 한
운명이란 걸 믿게 한 사람 오직 너뿐
I guess we


[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
말해줘 perfect love (그게 뭔데?)
타오르고 있어
느껴봐, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser
She such a weirdo
누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어
And I’m loving the combo, combo

[Verse 2]
완벽한 폭풍 그 눈 속 헤쳐
위험을 찾아 늘 그랬어
진실을 원해 살 에이는 듯한
And it hurts, and it hurts, and I
너만 있으면 되잖아
달아나려고 하지 마
모두 망가져 버린 듯해도
둘만은 살아 반짝일걸

[Pre-Chorus]
넌 날 무너뜨리고 다시 일으켜
결국 날 숨 쉬게 한
사랑 같은 걸 믿게 한 바보 오직 너뿐
I guess we

[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
말해줘 perfect love (그게 뭔데?)
타오르고 있어
느껴봐, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser
She such a weirdo
누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어
And I’m loving the combo, combo

[Bridge]
둘만의 법칙
같은 길인 듯해도 삐뚤어지곤 해
넌 걱정하지 마
You honest, I promise, I won’t let it fade away
밤과 낮 속에서 미지를 껴안아
I’m in with you, deep to up top
긴 여정의 첫걸음 그 시작이 어디였든
‘Cause when I’m with you, I feel like I’m free
I guess we


[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
말해줘 perfect love (그게 뭔데?)
타오르고 있어
느껴봐, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser (I’m such a loser)
She such a weirdo (She such a weirdo)
누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어
And I’m loving the combo, combo

[English]

[Verse 1]
Call me by name where my heart sways
Feels like my time has come
Riding the rough wind in the sunlight
(We are poets, we are songs)
Just waking up from a long sleep
Not knowing what pain is
Call me by fate where my heart sways
In the place where dreams whisper

[Pre-Chorus]
You break me down and lift me back up
Ultimately, you’re the one who made me believe
That it was destiny that kept me breathing
I guess we

[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
Tell me, what’s perfect love? (What is it?)
I’m burning up
Feel it, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser
She’s such a weirdo
No matter what anyone says, I want you
And I’m loving the combo, combo

[Verse 2]
Through the perfect storm’s eye
Always seeking danger
Wanting the truth that cuts like flesh
And it hurts, and it hurts, and I
All I need is you
Don’t try to run away
Even if everything seems ruined
We alone will shine and live on

[Pre-Chorus]
You break me down and lift me back up
Ultimately, you’re the fool who made me believe in love
I guess we

[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
Tell me, what’s perfect love? (What is it?)
I’m burning up
Feel it, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser
She’s such a weirdo
No matter what anyone says, I want you
And I’m loving the combo, combo


[Bridge]
Our own rules
Even when it seems like the same path, it often goes astray
Don’t worry
You honest, I promise, I won’t let it fade away
Embrace the unknown between day and night
I’m in with you, deep to up top
Wherever the first step of this long journey started
‘Cause when I’m with you, I feel like I’m free
I guess we

[Chorus]
It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)
Tell me, what’s perfect love? (What is it?)
I’m burning up
Feel it, we are young, no doubt, oh, eh-eh, eh-eh (Woah)
I’m such a loser (I’m such a loser)
She’s such a weirdo (She’s such a weirdo)
No matter what anyone says, I want you
And I’m loving the combo, combo

[Outro]
I’m such a loser
She’s such a weirdo
No matter what anyone says, I want you
And I’m loving the combo, combo

Combo Song Meaning

Combo by RIIZE narrate a story of love, self-discovery, and emotional turmoil, capturing the complex dynamics between two people who are imperfect yet irresistibly drawn to each other.

Here is the detailed meaning of the song “Combo”:

[Verse 1]
The opening verse reflects a feeling of destiny and awakening. The lines “Call me by name where my heart sways” and “Feels like my time has come” suggest a moment of self-realization or perhaps meeting someone who makes the singer feel truly alive for the first time. “Riding the rough wind in the sunlight” indicates facing challenges or turbulence with a sense of hope and determination, as if experiencing life fully, with all its highs and lows. The verse suggests a journey toward self-awareness and purpose, emphasizing that they are “poets” and “songs,” metaphors for creativity and expression. The mention of “waking up from a long sleep” implies a transformative moment or a new beginning, and “Not knowing what pain is” might reflect a previous state of innocence or ignorance. The repetition of “Call me by fate” suggests a belief that everything happening is guided by destiny.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus dives deeper into the emotional connection between the two characters. “You break me down and lift me back up” portrays a tumultuous relationship marked by both pain and healing, where one person has the power to shatter and rebuild the other. The line “Ultimately, you’re the one who made me believe” suggests that despite the hardships, the relationship has brought a profound realization or belief in something greater, like love or destiny. “It was destiny that kept me breathing” implies that this bond has given them purpose or the will to continue. This reflects a deep, emotional dependence on the connection, even though it is not always easy or straightforward.

[Chorus]
The chorus focuses on the theme of love’s imperfection. “It’s time to stir it up (And then we settle down)” suggests a cycle of conflict and resolution in the relationship, capturing the ups and downs typical of intense emotional connections. “Tell me, what’s perfect love?” questions the idealistic notion of love, implying that real love is messy and imperfect. “I’m burning up” conveys intense passion or emotional turmoil, and “Feel it, we are young, no doubt” emphasizes a youthful, reckless abandon. The repeated phrases “I’m such a loser” and “She’s such a weirdo” reveal self-deprecation and playful teasing, showing how they accept each other’s flaws. Despite what anyone else thinks, “I want you” affirms a strong desire to be together, underscoring the unique, irreplaceable “combo” they share.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the lyrics continue to explore the theme of embracing challenges for the sake of a meaningful connection. “Through the perfect storm’s eye” and “Always seeking danger” suggest that the characters are unafraid of facing difficulties, and in fact, they may be drawn to them. This could represent a relationship that thrives in chaos or an acknowledgment that true love is often forged in adversity. “Wanting the truth that cuts like flesh” highlights a desire for honesty, even when it is painful. The repetition of “And it hurts, and it hurts” emphasizes the emotional pain experienced, yet they persist because “All I need is you.” This verse captures a sense of commitment to the truth and to each other, even when everything seems bleak or uncertain.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus is similar to the first, but with a slight change: “Ultimately, you’re the fool who made me believe in love.” This line adds a layer of irony or self-awareness, as if recognizing the irrational nature of love, yet acknowledging that it is still worth believing in. This shift suggests growth in the relationship; despite recognizing the foolishness, they still choose to stay.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the themes of stirring up emotions, questioning love’s nature, feeling intense passion, and celebrating their unique, flawed partnership. It serves to underscore the complexity and intensity of their relationship, suggesting that they find joy in their imperfections and contradictions.

[Bridge]
The bridge offers a more philosophical reflection on the relationship. “Our own rules” indicates that they reject societal expectations or norms about what a relationship should be. The line “Even when it seems like the same path, it often goes astray” suggests that their journey is unique and unpredictable, much like love itself. “Don’t worry” is a reassurance to each other that despite the uncertainties, they will be fine. The commitment to honesty—”You honest, I promise”—implies a mutual understanding to keep their connection genuine. “Embrace the unknown between day and night” reflects a willingness to face life’s uncertainties together. The bridge expresses that being together makes them feel “free,” highlighting a sense of liberation and authenticity in their connection.

[Chorus]
The final chorus, with slight variations, emphasizes the ongoing cycle of conflict and resolution, passion and questioning, highlighting their acceptance of each other’s flaws and the uniqueness of their “combo.” The repeated phrases continue to show self-acceptance and mutual admiration, suggesting that their imperfections make their bond stronger.

[Outro]
The outro mirrors the earlier parts of the song, reinforcing the acceptance of being a “loser” or “weirdo” and the desire to be with each other regardless of outside opinions. This conclusion reflects a celebration of their unique, imperfect love.
