The song Runners serves as an anthem for those striving to achieve their goals. The lyrics mirror the group's relentless spirit and the confidence they have in their journey.

[Verse 1]

Felix, Changbin, and Han explain their journey and how they managed to be resilient. And from "I'm looking at the city down below me," and it may symbolize their rise and their perspective, that means they've got a cybernetic system, yeah, I felt like a machine.

[Pre-Chorus]

Bang Chan, Hyunjin, and I.N sing the trials and emotional pains running through their minds. "Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning" shows that his mind can be overpowering, but they draw comfort because this subsequently leads to them continuing with the will to work towards their goals: "I'm chasing that light tonight."

[Bridge]

Lee Know and I.N chant the relentlessness. "We're running 'til the end, all day and night, we fly" as if to symbolize an effort that seems continuous, extending ambition.

Bang Chan and Felix would put it, "On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners," repeating again their determination towards their destination and non-fragility against its challenges. Throughout the course of Runners, a very driving sense of determination and ambition is felt from Stray Kids.

Runners Song Lyrics

Runners by Stray Kids

[Intro: Seungmin]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Felix, Changbin, Han]
I'm looking at the city down below me
Heaven knows I made my own surroundings
I'm just getting started, yeah, I know
I'm on my way 'cause this is all about me, 'bout me
Cybernetic system, yeah, I felt like a machine
Doing this, doing that, taking orders like I'm Winter Soldier (Bah, bah)
Cracked the shell then I fled
I'm running on the edge, screaming woah, woah

[Pre-Chorus: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, I.N]
Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning
One little trip and I know that I'll fall in
Deeper and deeper, I'm thinking, I'm crying
Too many thoughts in my head, gotta let it go
I'm chasing that light tonight
Another step on my tightrope
I know that I'll be alright

[Chorus: Seungmin, Lee Know, I.N, Bang Chan]
I won't stop running, I know that I'm becoming
G-O-A-T, I'm stunning, let me show the world
I'm feeling edgy, watch me take it all
Come and try to push me off
We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings
G-O-A-T, we're stunning, let us show the world
We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all
On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners
[Verse 2: Felix, Changbin]
Hold up, hold my hand 'cause we're taking off
Horizon at the end, yeah, we're gonna touch
'Cause wherever, whoever, whenever, forever
We go zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom
They say I took an L for challenging myself
But I don't give a hell, I know that I can tell that they are jelly-jelly
Wobbly, I'm on a cliff singing, dancing, grinning
'Cause already I know I can hear the Ws (Ws)

[Pre-Chorus: Seungmin, Hyunjin, Lee Know]
Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning
One little trip and I know that I'll fall in
Deeper and deeper, I'm thinking, I'm crying
Too many thoughts in my head, gotta let it go
I'm chasing that light tonight
Another step on my tightrope
I know that I'll be alright

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Seungmin, Hyunjin, Han]
I won't stop running, I know that I'm becoming
G-O-A-T, I'm stunning, let me show the world
I'm feeling edgy, watch me take it all
Come and try to push me off
We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings
G-O-A-T, we're stunning, let us show the world
We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all
On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners
[Bridge: Lee Know, I.N]
We're running 'til the end
All day and night, we fly
We're running 'til the end
All day and night, we fly

[Chorus: Han, Bang Chan]
We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings
G-O-A-T, we're stunning, let us show the world
We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all
On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners

[Outro: Bang Chan, Felix]
On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners
On the edge, we'll never fall 'cause we're the runners
