LION

* Music Video
* Cover Art

***LION*** is a song recorded by (G)I-DLE, a South Korean girl group who participated in the reality girl group survival show Queendom. It was released digitally on October 25, 2019. The song is the fifth song from the extended play *Queendom Final Comeback*.

It was also featured in (G)I-DLE's third mini album, *I trust*.

## Description

"*"LION" is a track in which Soyeon from (G)I-DLE and Yummy Tone worked together on. The track was completed with the two composers' peculiar styles that are not limited by a certain genre or boundary, and the fierce and heavy drum sound and the 808bass sound are impressive. The lyrics, figurative of the life of a lion that is born as a "queen" with its inherent class and charisma, are heartbreaking and cold but also beautiful, powerful, and divine. All the fights, patience, and scars needed to take and keep the throne are ingrained in the lyrics.*"

## Hangul

Ooh I'm a lion I'm a queen 아무도
그래 Ooh 날 가둘 수 없어 아픔도

붉은 태양 아래 Fire
파랗게 타는 Flower
미지근한 너의 애를 태우게

살짝 드러내는 Sharp claw
달아오르는 상처
발자국은 내 왕관을 맴돌게

난 나의 눈을 가리고 이 음악에 몸을 맡기고
뻔한 리듬을 망치고 사자의 춤을 바치고
넌 나의 눈을 살피고 이 음악에 몸이 말리고
뜨거운 리듬에 갇히고 사자에 춤을 바치고

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

그 강인한 울음은 너의 발을 내게 돌려
이 넓은 황야 속 크고 단단한 씨를 뿌려
그 웅장한 부름은 너의 맘을 내게 돌려
이 깊은 바닷속까지 거친 멜로딜 꽂아

더 탐을 내지 말어 자릴 지키는 Lion
때로는 사나워 질지 모르니
이제 환호의 음을 높여
모두 고개를 올려
어린 사자의 왕관을 씌우니

난 나의 눈을 가리고 이 음악에 몸을 맡기고
뻔한 리듬을 망치고 사자의 춤을 바치고
넌 나의 눈을 살피고 이 음악에 몸이 말리고
뜨거운 리듬에 갇히고 사자에 춤을 바치고

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

쓸데없는 예의 따윈 물어뜯어
편견이란 답답한 우리는 무너뜨려
감히 또 누가 날 막고 또 누가 날 조종해
조심해 다듬지 못한 발톱으로
아무도 가본 적이 없는 개척하는 길
뻔해 빠진 꼰대들은 혀를 차던 짓
그걸 해내고서야 받는 박수는
더 짜릿한 맛이지
그걸 맛봤고 이제 부정할 수 없어
I'm a queen

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

Ooh I'm a lion I'm a queen 아무도
그래 Ooh 길들일 수 없어 사랑도

## English

Ooh I'm a lion I'm a queen No one
Yes Ooh Nothing can confine me. Even pain

Fire under the red sun
A blue Flower burning
I'm here to play hard to get

Sharp claw are revealed
Wounds burning up
Footsteps lingering beside my crown

I cover my eyes and feel this music
Destroy the boring rhythm and devote a lion's dance
You look into my eyes and feel threatened by the music
Trapped in the burning hot rhythm and devote a lion's dance

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

That tough roar makes you come back to me
In this vast wilderness I spread my large firm seeds
That mighty roar makes you come back to me
To this deep dark ocean the rough melody pieces your ears

Don't seek what you can't have a Lion holding the fort
I may turn violent
Now turn up the cheers
Everyone look up
The young lion takes its crown

I cover my eyes and feel this music
Destroy the boring rhythm and devote a lion's dance
You look into my eyes and feel threatened by the music
Trapped in the burning hot rhythm and devote a lion's dance

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

I'll bite off your useless courtesy
We tear down your suffocating prejudice
Who would dare to stop me
Who would dare to control me
Careful with my sharp claws
I create a new path no one has attempted before
All those condescending people will click their tongues
But the applause I recieve after breaking that prejudice is thrilling
I've had a taste Now I can't deny it
I'm a queen

Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion
Bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa, bwa bwa bwa
It looks like a lion
I'm a queen like a lion Eh oh

Ooh I'm a lion I'm a queen No one
Yes Ooh Nothing can tame me
