Inception

***Inception*** is a song by South Korean boy band ATEEZ. It was released on July 29, 2020. It is the fifth track of their fifth EP album Zero : Fever Part 1.

## Story

"INCEPTION," which combines softness and intensity, is an urban-style EDM song that expresses the longing for an unattainable being as if one had a dream in a dream. The song's narrative is developed along with an emotional melody on a strong beat, which highlights the members' emotional lines that express it delicately. You can feel the boyishness of the dreamy and sentimental members that have never been seen before.

I’m in love
I’m in love

찰나의 순간 그 눈맞춤
모든 감각이 멈춘 순간
내 안에 퍼진 작은 떨림
처음 느껴보는 내가 된듯한
기분이 날 삼켜와

꿈에서도 본 적 없는
꿈을 꾸는 기분이야
꿈이라고 단정 짓기엔
꽤 확실한 느낌이라

그려내고 그려내
그림자 선 끝까지 선명한데
널 다시 마주할 날만 바라볼게

전으로 돌아갈 순 없을 것 같아
널 모르던 나 널 마주친 후에 난
걷잡을 수 없이 더 갈망하게 되는걸

난 마치 꿈에서 꿈을 꾼 듯이
널 찾아서 헤매다 길을 잃어가
다신 깨지 못할 너란 꿈에 살아
Every day & night, I’m gon’ chase you

I’m in love
[홍중/민기] (I’m dream in a dream, every night)
I’m in love
[홍중/민기] (I’m dream in a dream, every night)

네가 남긴 흔적을 찾아
너란 꿈을 방황하는 나

Nobody say oh
그 어떤 것도 너로 채울 수 없어
매일 꿈꾸는 밤도 전부 사라져가
배인 향기가 떠나질 않아
널 찾아 헤매는 날
구해줘 say oh
Nobody say oh

전으로 돌아갈 순 없을 것 같아
널 모르던 나 널 마주친 후에 난
걷잡을 수 없이 더 갈망하게 되는걸

난 마치 꿈에서 꿈을 꾼 듯이
널 찾아서 헤매다 길을 잃어가
다신 깨지 못할 너란 꿈에 살아
Every day & night, I’m gon’ chase you

I’m in love
[홍중/민기] (I’m dream in a dream, every night)
I’m in love
[홍중/민기] (I’m dream in a dream, every night)

네 흔적은 향기로 남아
미친 사람처럼 너를 찾아 헤매다
잠이 깨면
다시 또 제자리인걸

Where you at?
Where you at?
너는 어디에

Where you go?
Where you go?
남겨 둔 채 넌

[홍중/민기] Comin’ tonight
[홍중/민기] 매일 밤
[홍중/민기] 너를 찾아 헤매는 난
널 잊을 수가 없는걸

난 마치 꿈에서 꿈을 꾼 듯이
널 찾아서 헤매다 길을 잃어가
다신 깨지 못할 너란 꿈에 살아
Every day & night, I’m gon’ chase you

I’m in love
[홍중/민기] (I’m dream in a dream, every night)
I’m in love

## English

I’m in love
I’m in love

Eyes meet in that short instant
The moment all the senses stop
Little tremors spread inside me
For the first time I am swallowed by the feeling
That I became who I am

I feel like dreaming a dream
I’ve never seen even in dreams
It’s too vivid
To conclude it as just a dream
I draw and draw
It’s clear to the ends of the shadow line
I long only for the day I see you again

I can’t go back to the way it was
You didn’t know me. After I bumped into you
I become craving for you more, uncontrollably

As if I have dreamed in a dream
I am lost looking for you
You are the dream I live in, the dream I can never awake from
Every day & night I’m gon’ chase you

I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)
I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)

Finding traces you’ve left
I’m wandering for you, you a dream

Nobody say oh
Nothing can fill you
Nights with dreams are all fading too
The scent permeates and lingers
I’m lost looking for you
Save me say oh
Nobody say oh

I can’t go back to the way it was
You didn’t know me. After I bumped into you
I become craving for you more, uncontrollably

As if I have dreamed in a dream
I’m lost looking for you
You are the dream I live in, the dream I can never awake from
Every day & night I’m gon’ chase you

I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)
I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)

Your traces remain as scent
I search for you like a maniac
Then I wake
To find myself going around in circles again

Where you at
Where you at
Where you at

Where you go
Where you go
Leaving behind, you are

[HJ/MG] Comin’ tonight
[HJ/MG] Every night
[HJ/MG] I’m lost looking for you
And I can’t forget you

As if I have dreamed in a dream
I’m lost looking for you
You are the dream I live in, the dream I can never awake from
Every day & night I’m gon’ chase you

I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)
I'm in love
[HJ/MG] (I'm dream in a dream every night)
