[Korean:]

난 그댈 향해 내 모든 걸 다 열어 둔걸
내 눈빛도 맘 깊은 곳도
작은 틈도 없을 만큼 닫힌 세상 속
널 위해서 열린 유일한 곳

They never know
완벽히 다른 세상은
우리만 느낀걸
They never know
이렇게 가까워진 이유

이 모든 것이 젖어 든 비에
모두의 시선 따윈 무시해
Oh 내가 먼저 선을 넘어설게
니가 있는 그곳으로 Cross that

Oh would you dare to cross the line

Yeah 듣지 마 그렇게나
우릴 Break down시키는 얘긴
No oh oh
부러워하는 눈빛
우린 회피 대신 즐기므로
둘만의 메세지
멋대로 상처 낸 타겟으로
그들이 쏘아 댄 화살에
스쳐 간 상처에 입 맞출수록 난
[첸/찬] 매일 더 네게 빠져들어

They never know
저 달의 푸른 뒤편을
본 적이 없는걸
They never know
내가 더 다가가는 이유

이 모든 것이 젖어 든 비에
(눈을 가린 비)
모두의 시선 따윈 무시해
(Love is blind, love is blind)
Oh 내가 먼저 선을 넘어설게
너와 같은 세상으로 Cross that

내 사랑은 네 맘에 이미
달이 차듯 가득해 Set free
망설임 너머 넌 그 경곌 넘어
또 그들이 뭐래도 믿지 말고

Let go, don’t say no
Let go, don’t say no
Oh 다른 목소린 듣지 마 Baby
Let go, don’t say no
Let go, don’t say, don’t say
그들이 생각하는 엔딩에
이대로 우릴 맞춰 주기엔
니가 너무 아름다워

이 모든 것이 젖어 든 비에
모두의 시선 따윈 무시해
Oh 내가 먼저 선을 넘어설게
니가 있는 그곳으로
Baby tell me where the line is
Baby tell me where the line is

[English translation:]

I’ve opened all of me for you
My eyes, the deepest part of my heart
In a world that’s closed without a small crack
It’s the only place that’s open for you

They never know
A completely different world
Only we can feel it
They never know
The reason we became this close

The rain makes everything wet
We’re ignoring everyone’s eyes
I’ll cross the line first
To the place where you are, cross that

Oh would you dare to cross the line

Yeah, don’t listen to the things
That try to break us down
No oh oh
They’re jealous of us
Because we enjoy it rather than avoiding it
Our own message
They targeted it
Hurting us however they wanted
The more I kiss the scar from the arrows
I’m falling more for you every day

They never know
They haven’t seen
The back of the blue moon
They never know
The reason I’m going closer

The rain makes everything wet
(Rain that covers eyes)
We’re ignoring everyone’s eyes
(Love is blind, love is blind)
I’ll cross the line first
To the same world you’re in, cross that

My love is already in your heart
Filled up like a full moon, set free
Past the hesitation, past that line
No matter what they say, don’t believe it

Let go, don’t say no
Let go, don’t say no
Don’t listen to other voices baby
Let go, don’t say no
Let go, don’t say, don’t say
You’re too beautiful
For us to follow the ending
They’ve already thought out

The rain makes everything wet
We’re ignoring everyone’s eyes
I’ll cross the line first
To the place where you are
Baby tell me where the line is
Baby tell me where the line is

  8. C.... T....

    Well no one copied for real like the sound doesn't that sound the same they like put some other sounds and the lyrics is not the same as bts's like all the kpop groups are friends

  9. i.... ....

    all producers, (blackbear's, bts', exo's) took the same loop that was in a library, which is where many producer's get same snares, drums, etc. the library is for the universal use to others. its specifically made so other people can take loops & stuff without it being illegal. its totally ok that all three have the same loop. nobody stole this from each other. its not bts', its not exo's, and its not blackbear's either.

    i.... ....

    WHY DID THIS TAKE ME YEARS,, oh well now I know nbfsjfdjshf

  10. J.... J....

    Y’all know Chen’s probably now like “they never *knew* “

  11. l.... l....

    I WAS PANICKING FOR A WHILE BEC I THOUGHT IT WAS CLICKBAIT AND THEN IT JUST KINDA PLAYED SO OKAY THEY SAMPLED IT FROM BLACKBEAR. KINGS!!!! 🥶

  12. D.... R....

    Geeeeh anthem Lmao

  13. j.... r....

    It's 2019 and D.O's "Love is blind love is blind" kills me every time. 1:47 - 2:10 has some of his best adlibs. They literally give this song life

  14. l.... o....

    I just discovered this song now & I'm loving it.

  15. s.... ....

    came back here to appreciate the song

  16. �.... ....

    👍👍👍

  17. L.... 9....

    I'm in love With the original song of EXO 💞💙 always perfect

  18. S.... V....

    Those some deep lyrics 🥺

    S.... V....

    You know!
    EXO was decade ahead when they released it
    I was so surprised when I saw the lyrics
    Its so deep and meaningful

  19. I.... M....

    Bruh this a LGBT anthem!

  20. T.... S....

    Listening to exo’s oldies but goodies lol

  21. L.... H....

    3 años y me voy dando cuenta que es en inglés 1:18

  22. A.... V....

    Ok i knew i had listen to it somewhere but tell me something, what song of bts have this to? (Excuse my English I'm mexican)

    A.... V....

    The song is called autumn leaves

  23. �.... ....

    y'all are talking about exo, bts n blackbear meanwhile i just enjoy how gay this song is lmaoo

    �.... ....

    bruh just because it‘s about a dangerous love affair doesn‘t mean it‘s about a gay couple smh

    �.... ....

    @Levi Ackermann it's literally about a gay relationship

    �.... ....

    변백현 sure🤦🏽‍♀️

    �.... ....

    @변백현 or idol's relationships. Like, we never know when they're dating. * Chen's anthem 😂*

  24. I.... A....

    Does anyone else find it ironic how Sehun at 1:34 is talking about arrows, and in the Obsession MV trailer, he was about to shoot an arrow(implying that exo and x-exo are gonna fight). THEY'VE BEEN DROPPING HINTS FOR YEARS

  25. A.... a....

    2019?anyone here

  26. I.... V....

    1:04 sounds familiar to a trap or mix version i heard before. Can anyone remind me of that song? I believe it a remix or something from a famous song.

  27. �.... ....

    Could someone explain how this song is about “LGBTQ+” ?

    �.... ....

    모니카 It‘s about a dangerous love. But that doesn‘t mean it‘s about gays. People are reading too much into it

    �.... ....

    @Mrs Grimes it's about gays. What's more dangerous than a gay rlship. Y'all straights love to heterosexualize everything

  28. e.... l....

    this song is a masterpiece ????????????💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  29. L.... 9....

    I love this song so much!!!!!!

  30. J.... B....

    People keep saying that the bts and exo song sound alike but what is that bts song. (I know they both sampled it btw)

    J.... B....

    Bts one is dead leaves it was released in 2015 .

  31. S.... I....

    ハーモニーが本当に綺麗。
    体中にじーんと沁みる…。

  32. K.... R....

    Love this song

  33. V.... G....

    I looked up this song and one of the suggestions said BTS dea.. and I was like what? so I clicked on this and a few seconds in I was like WTH!!! But obviously I know there is no copying bullshit going on ofc!!! Both are good songs!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    V.... G....

    @Flower Road bts have been working in the most beautiful moment in life album in 2014 after they released dark & wild album in August 2014 . That why I'm mostly sure about that there are alot of bts songs that was released in a specific year but was written in another year .

    V.... G....

    the one were you in the BTS dorm with suga when he was writing Dead leaves. Plz, if you want to continue your arguments, atleast do it with some logics. At first you said bts wrote it first, then you said they might choose the sample becuz of the similarity between lyrics and then you again said they wrote it 1 year earlier. Which side are on? Your arguments are contradicting your own statements. Bts is not some sort of god or angel. They have taken sample b4 and they are still doing it. It’s not like their music can’t be inspired by other artists. They have said several times how even senior kpop artists like BigBang inspired them. If they really write a song inspired by BlackBeer, we don’t have to pretend that They didn’t. You are their fan, be their fan. But don’t become blind just because you stan them.Fandom is not a cult and it should not be. You are doing it online, go ahead. But don’t be this logic less in real life. Trust me, nobody will take your words seriously. The only reason I talked so much abt these songs because I had to write a whole research paper for Music class where I wrote how EXO’s album “EXACT” was very different than other artists at the time and my highlights were on the song “They Never KnoW”. It’s a revolutionary song that EXO released back in 2016 in South Korea where society still thinks LGBT people as Burden and the topic is a taboo to talk abt. The song talked abt the topic with so much positivity and how love is not bound by any line. The way this song’s cmnt section is infiltrated by stupid cmnts instead of how revolutionary and magnificent game changing song this is really painful. Instead of taking abt the sample issue, the kpop fandom should have celebrated that This kind of song was released in kpop where ppl don’t try to take risks at all. The way EXO changed the whole game and brought out such a controversial topic In the table to talk is something we should really congratulate them for. But no, we couldn’t. Armys started to accuse them of plagiarism which was a total stupid move.The way your fandom actually accused EXO of plagiarism that EXO’s producer had to go online to clear the facts is really disgusting. None of these idols plagiarized anyone but if you really have to go that far then it’s not EXO but it’s BTS who actually released “Dead Leaves” after seeing “Dead Roses” by Blackbear.

    V.... G....

    @Flower Road wait wait calm down I only read the first 2 lines but just to make it clear I'm not having an argument with you I just know that bts said in 2015 that they were preparing the album since 2014 and that we have to look up to it so that what I'm meaning but ofc I'm not 100% that dead leaves was specifically written in 2014 its possible that suga wrote in 2015 maybe as late track than the other tracks , so yeah I'm not arguing in anything I don't really mind anything I just love the song 😂😂

    V.... G....

    the one every1 is calm dear. And yeah if you couldn’t read my whole reply, I think you should start to read more. Because your fandom really accused EXO back in 2016 without knowing the facts and it was really disgusting. If They really checked the facts and logics, This sample issue would not blow up this much. Aren’t EXO members human too? Don’t they have feelings? What do you think they felt when they just released an album and army started to accuse them wrongfully. Or is it because they are from SM, it’s okay to bully them? Plz remember EXO are human too. They have family, they have friends. The way this accusations really affected EXO is very painful. Just because EXO doesn’t talk abt their hardships, it doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling. When EXO should be congratulated for their immensely powerful songs, they were accused. Even in 2019, ppl are still talking abt plagiarism! I am sorry if I offended you but plz in the future don’t write abt the issues if you don’t know abt it properly. I genuinely wanted to know if BTS really released “Dead leaves” anywhere in 2014 but all you could say abt your assumptions. That’s it. Enjoy the song and Have a wonderful day.

    V.... G....

    @Flower Road ok I literally didn't say that they didn't struggled ofc they did I know that they are humans I know they feel pain and everything I literally don't hate them not even a little I think their songs in 2016 were really really good I enjoyed it , it was their best era in my opinion . their last full album ( don't mess up my tempo) was really good too I'm an army but I already know alot of information about them not like exols knows but not bad my baise is chen and my baise wrecker is is baekhyun or sometimes d.o .
    But I want you to be honest what was the most bullied group in 2015/6 ?? Ofc it was bts , in 2015 when bts sales became really high and they surpassed big bang album sales , and their outside Korea sales was so near to exo one exols and VIPs did bts so dirty they said it was sajaji and they hated in bts in every move they do , bts were so young and had alot of struggles and health problems in that time they didn't have anything they slept in the same room in a studio apartment and always used their managers for the mv shooting and bighit was hardworking them to death all people looked down on them and whenever they achieve something they say that they cheated which is the dumbest thing ever bighit was a very small company they barely could give a comfortable life for bts they just say that bc bts were from a small company and when bts released blood sweat and tears exols made a trend insulting bts and it was #1 in Korea trending just bc bts broke exo record for the month viwed kpop mv in the first 24h . they couldn't handle that bts got a daesang in mma and mama since bts were the first group not from the big 3 to have a daesang people hated on them so badly I even sometimes wished if bts weren't a kpop group just bc all the hate they got for no reason and I swear I'm crying in this moment while I'm writing this reply. But anyway my point is don't throw all the blame in armys. Both bts and exo are precious groups both of them don't deserve any hate and all the immature fans in kpop have to care and appreciate the other groups feelings and hard work I'm really tired from kpop bc of the toxicity on it 😩😩

  34. �.... ....

    I wonder why every kpop group was so into Blackbear.

  35. M.... U....

    Ya me perdi jajaja quien canta primero blackear?? O exo?

  36. T.... M....

    Just realized that exo they never know and bts dead leaves are like the same 😅😅

  37. L.... _....

    بالنسبة لراب تشانهون السكشي ☹️🌀🥀

  38. L.... L....

    This song: Everything is wet
    Me: wait-
    This song: because of the rain
    Me: right, the rain...

  39. w.... ....

    *deadroses KPOP EDITION!!*
    fuck

  40. K.... F....

    ok so this song is literally a gAy song, which means for chanyeol and baekhyun. okAy

  41. m.... ....

    i was so confused on why both sounded so similar.


    But anyways
    stan both groups


    Love these songs.
    Their both really good so please dont make a big fuss about it.

  42. P.... ....

    I love that BTS and Exo sampled the same song and made it their own with their own style and everything. That’s perfect for comparing their different styles.

  43. s.... ....

    Yall the message here omg. Whyd it take so long for me to see they were telling us to stop fighting. The rain making us blind is every scandal every rumor people BS about exo. We just gotta say no to picking fights man. Hell this song shows exactly how they feel, be it intentional or jot

  44. C.... &....

    Its funny how bts' dead leaves doesn't have comments, I have seen about the sampling scandal and it's like any other bts song's comments and this song has like a war in the coments 😂😂..... But still kinda messed up tbh 😅 kinda shows how army really are😂😂😂😓😞

  45. b.... l....

    guys no one's fighting anymore this song came out THREE years ago lmao chill

  46. S.... L....

    Le.a prochain.e qui dit qu'EXO a copié BTS je lui chie dans la gueule. Arrêtez d'être puéril.e.s ! Bordel ! Personne ne copie sur personne ! BTS et EXO sont très talentueux pour pouvoir proumouvoir quelque chose sans revenir à copier quelqu'un merde ! ARMY comme EXO-l certain.e.s font vraiment pitié à vouloir défendre tout le temps leur groupe. Juste stop quoi.

  47. P.... L....

    Can y’all just enjoy the song

  48. P.... C....

    A fucking gay anthem period.

  49. C.... f....

    but this is a exo song why r armys here?
    Like why r exols in the bts version.


    They probably was behind the screen like.
    *what have we done*

  54. C.... f....

    Uhm I don't think it's gay. I think it's about their love lives. Why y'all come up with weird theories. The song is a song. 🙄

    C.... f....

    it is gay

    C.... f....

    it's not for exo members

    C.... f....

    (1:10, 2:17 and 3:21)

  64. s.... n....

    Help exo to
    Love shot 200m

  65. d.... m....

    People should stop arguing about this "copying" thing. It could have just been a coincidence, if someone copied the other don't you think there'd be lawsuits spamming the media? And let us just keep in mind that both EXO and BTS are great, therefore it is reasonable to apply this quote: "Great minds think alike."

    d.... m....

    No one copied anyone ,both just used the same sample from an open library which is available for everyone

  66. h.... ....

    Others: Trying to stop fanwar and fanwar
    Me: when i read the lyrics it reminds me of Chanbaek, Hunhan, and Kaisoo 🙂

  67. D.... �....

    Their voices so good. Much better than b*s

    D.... �....

    Both groups are good and best so stop fanwars

    D.... �....

    This only your opinion 😂😂😂

  68. T.... G....

    EXO said gay rights!

  69. K.... E....

    HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🌈🌈🌈

  70. K.... E....

    HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🌈🌈🌈

  71. d.... ....

    Why are you all arguing when you could be talking about how gay this song is instead

  72. C.... J....

    Okay. So, being an exo-l since half a year now, I should've gotten over how deep Chanyeol's voice, right? Well, this song just GENTLY reminded me how low and rich and hot and husky he can go. Rude.

  73. R.... ....

    Somebody else thinks the voices of exo appeal so much in this song? I want a Kaisoo or Chanbaek fic inspired in this song

  74. b.... e....

    I don't care what y'all say but this song will be dedicated to my best friend. I love you as a person and I know we can't be together but if one day we'll both be ready to cross the line, I'll be forever willing to stay with you.

    b.... e....

    ah, can we cry together? 😔👊

  75. N.... B....

    People are so....ignorant....it's not called 'stealing ' it's called 'sampling '

  76. d.... ....

    Stop drooling over Korean boys and credit the person that actually put work into making the art.

  77. f.... c....

    This is just so cool that both top artist have a sample of this song and I just love it😍😘❤

  78. o.... b....

    I was expecting a sad song?¿ i just want to cry girl.

  79. D.... G....

    I want to hear minseok's linee😭😭

  80. D.... G....

    SHUT THE FUCK UP.THAT IS EXO'S SONG AND YEAH GET OUT OF HERE.this song is really so good and also Bts's song too.Stop plz stop

  81. C.... ....

  86. �.... ....

    사랑한다 엑소 영원하자 엑소엘과엑소~~~~♥

  87. L.... ....

    3:01 thank you chen

  88. L.... ....

    Theyr voices sounds so WoW!!!

  89. g.... m....

    they're celebrities and them dating would cause a scandal so of course they'd try to keep it secret but like y'all do y'all ''tis fine lmaooo

  90. G.... N....

    Gay anthem.

  91. D.... b....

    Yea this lame af. BlackBear ftw

    D.... b....

    Lol okay whatever.

  92. G.... G....

    Just curious, how is this song connected to lgbtq+? Do they use "he" Instead of "she" Or...?

    G.... G....

    Got7Got7Got7 GOT7GOT7GOT7
    fans and their fantasies lmaooo
    anything about a hidden relationship is also usually seen as gay

    G.... G....

    You can interpret the lyrics anyway you like. If you're queer, you can recognize certain situations and feelings in those lyrics but I guess that's only for lgbt people to understand. If you haven't been in that place, you'll never know. lol 😉
    Exo haven't confirmed this is a song about homosexual love (I think) but they don't have to. Music is all about what it means to you and how you perceive it. For gays, this is a gay song.

    G.... G....

    @Honey Honey ya, ur right, I just re-read the English lyrics and since I am part of the community, I thought about it in a different perspective than I was before bc usually songs use the pronouns "she" And "her" So I thought this one did too so I only read lyrics once and not that thorough.. Thank u for helping me see it better

  93. L.... n....

    such a good song~
