Simon Says Lyrics and Translation
Background Info:
Simon Says is the title track off of NCT 127’s first full album Regular-Irregular. It’s “an urban hip-hop song with heavy bass riff and sharp synth sounds,” the dark and unique sound of the music fitting well with the message of criticizing society and breaking free from the shackles that culture puts on the people within it.
Song Meaning:
The song and video overall seems to criticise the way society forces people to wear masks in order to fit alongside everyone else, and how cultures create arbitrary rules we’re all expected to follow without question. NCT 127 express how they’re called "vibe killers" for breaking these rules and refusing to measure themselves with the standards set for them. Overall, Simon Says communicates a message of individuality and rebellion against an oppressive over-bearing culture.

Original Korean Lyrics:
Yo, Simon says
Hurry up 거리에 널린 Flat hoop들
멈춘 순간 널 향해 조준 다 쏜다
Hands up, 뒤돌아
숨이 가득 차도 여기 법 계속 달려
왜 또 눈치만 보고 서있나 (우두커니)
왜 또 겁먹은 표정을 짓나 (이걸 원해)
주문을 외워 I'm God 너희를 홀려 like wow
NCT we all so sexy,
누가 날 욕해 who
Bless me, achoo
Simon says, "be cool"
Don't be such a fool
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer)
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer)
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
필요 없어 그딴 말말말말말
We don't play, no mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
꽉 막힌 차 사이로 길을 여는 siren
니 맘에 그 체증을밤새 뚫고 달려
누구보다 빨라 전부 뒤에 가있어
거침없어 모든 건
점점 분위기는 high, high, high, high
우릴 막는 소린 bye, bye, bye, bye
신경 다 끄고 놀아 밤새
누가 뭐라 하든 상관 안 해
주문을 외워 I'm God 너희를 홀려 like wow
NCT we all so sexy,
누가 날 욕해 who
Bless me, achoo
Simon says, "be cool"
Don't be such a fool
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer) (You think you know it all)
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer)
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
필요 없어 그딴 말말말말말
We don't play, no mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
두려워하지마 (괜찮아) 널 막는 건 너 일 뿐
착각하지마 (두려워 하지마)
눈을 뜨고 깨어나 이 순간 깊숙이 빠져들어가
현실과 꿈의 사이 진짜 널 찾는 그 순간 (yeah, find me)
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Ayy real vibe killer)
Simon says 우린 real vibe killer (Ayy real vibe killer)
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
너네들은 다 mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
필요 없어 그딴 말말말말말
We don't play, no mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
We don't play, no attention
English Translation:
Yo, Simon says
Hurry up, so many flat hoops on the street
The moment I stop, I'm gonna aim and shoot for you
Hands up, turn around
Running out of breath but I keep running
Why are you just scoping things out (Standing there)
Why do you look so scared? (Do you want this?)
Cast a spell, I'm God. Bewitching you all like wow
NCT we all so sexy,
Who can talk against me, who
Bless me, achoo
Simon says, "be cool"
Don't be such a fool
Simon says we're a real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer)
Simon says we’re a real vibe killer (Killer Killer Killer)
You're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
You're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Don't need those kind of words, words, words, words
We don't play, no mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Through the jammed cars, I'm the siren that opens up the roads
Piercing through the traffic in your heart all night
Faster than anyone else, They're all behind me
I won’t hold back,
The mood is getting high, high, high, high
All the sounds that try to stop us, bye, bye, bye, bye
Don't mind them, let’s party all night
Don't care what anyone says
Cast a spell, I'm God. Bewitching you all like wow
NCT we all so sexy,
Who can talk against me, who
Bless me, achoo

You're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
You're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Don't need those kind of words, words, words, words
We don't play, no mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Don't be afraid (It's okay) The only one stopping you is you
Don't misunderstand (Don't be scared)
Open your eyes and wake up, fall deep inside
The moment you find your true self between reality and dreams (yeah, find me)
Simon says we're a real vibe killer (Ayy real vibe killer)
Simon says we're a real vibe killer (Ayy real vibe killer)
You're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
