Achilles Lyrics – NOWZ (나우즈)
Achilles NOWZ Lyrics (English Translation)
The city is cold
Upon my heart, fragile as thin ice
As you go
You’re a burning hurricane
Baby, girl
I find myself chasing after you
Right away
Yeah, I’ve already fallen for you
Dance ’til the morning
Your pull, vast as the cosmos
Your gaze, like moonlight
Drawing me in—gravity—forever
Holding me captive
Do whatever you want
The fortress that is me
Has already crumbled for you
Holding on tight to you
We sway and stumble, like I need you
Beautiful enough to startle the darkness
You’re my Achilles, girl; we dance, just the two of us
That’s just how it goes
In the middle of the night
Afraid I might lose you?
I can’t catch my breath
Am I out of my mind?
As long as you’re down for it
An anomaly named “you”
Piercing through my armor?
Critical
Am I going to be okay? Dance ’til the morning
Your pull, vast as the cosmos
Your gaze, like moonlight
Gravity pulls us in, forever
Keeping me captive
Do whatever you want
The fortress that is me has already
Crumbled for you
Yeah, I can’t stop myself
Holding on tight to you
We sway and stumble—like I need you
So beautiful, enough to startle the darkness
You’re my Achilles, girl; we dance, just the two of us
That’s just how it goes
Holding on tight to you That’s just how it goes
Like I need you That’s just how it goes
Holding on tight to you That’s just how it goes
You’re my Achilles, girl
Baby, you drive me crazy
Forever—oh, please—it has to be only you
You already know; don’t stop, baby, ah, yeah (Ah, yeah)
That you are my weakness
Holding on tight to you
We sway and stumble—you’re my, ooh (I don’t give a—)
Holding on tight to you
We sway and stumble—like I need you
So beautiful, enough to startle the darkness
You’re my Achilles, girl; we dance, just the two of us
That’s just how it goes

Achilles Song Lyrics (Korean)
City’s cold
살얼음 같은 내 맘에
As you go
너는 불타는 hurricaine
Baby, girl
나는 널 쫓아가게 돼
Right away
Yeah, 난 이미 빠져버린 걸
Dance ’til the morning
우주 같은 너의 이끌림
눈빛은 달빛
당겨 gravity, 영원히
날 가둔 채로
Do whatever you want
나라는 성은 이미
무너져 for you
Holding on tight to you
추는 춤은 비틀 like I need you
아름다워 어둠도 놀랄 만큼
You’re my Achilles, girl, 둘만의 춤을 춰
That’s just how it goes
In the middle of the night
행여 널 잃을까?
숨을 쉴 수 없다
제정신일까 나?
As long as you down
내 갑옷을 관통하는
너라는 오차?
Critical
나 괜찮은 걸까?
Dance ’til the morning
우주 같은 너의 이끌림
눈빛은 달빛
당겨 gravity, 영원히
날 가둔 채로
Do whatever you want
나라는 성은 이미
무너져 for you
Yeah, I can’t stop myself
Holding on tight to you
추는 춤은 비틀 like I need you
아름다워 어둠도 놀랄 만큼
You’re my Achilles, girl, 둘만의 춤을 춰
That’s just how it goes
Holding on tight to you That’s just how it goes
Like I need you That’s just how it goes
Holding on tight to you That’s just how it goes
You’re my Achilles, girl
Baby, you see me crazy
영원히, oh, please, 너만이 오직
이미 넌 알지 멈추지 마, baby, ah, yeah (Ah, yeah)
내 약점은 너란 걸
Holding on tight to you
추는 춤은 비틀 you’re my, ooh (I don’t give a—)
Holding on tight to you
추는 춤은 비틀 like I need you
아름다워 어둠도 놀랄 만큼
You’re my Achilles, girl, 둘만의 춤을 춰
That’s just how it goes
Achilles NOWZ Song Music Video:
Achilles Song Meaning:
The song is about being deeply and irresistibly in love with someone who has become both your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. Referring to the person as “Achilles” symbolizes that they have the power to break through all the singer’s emotional defenses, leaving them vulnerable but unable to walk away. Despite knowing this love makes them feel exposed and overwhelmed, they willingly surrender to it.
In one sentence:
The song is about falling so deeply in love that the other person becomes your only weakness, completely capturing your heart and making you vulnerable, yet you wouldn’t have it any other way.
