[Hey~ Caffeine in my veins, tapping to the rhythm] At 7:30 AM, hit the shortcut, change my pajamas into armor The wind in the subway tunnel rushes by, my hair stays intact, eyes locked on my goal The meeting room is quiet, I’m silently thinking, but my mind is already running wild Data, charts, endless meetings spinning like a fairytale Others say girls should stay quiet, but I insist on speaking out loud Like a bird breaking into a glass maze, crashing through with a sharp, crisp sound I know, I know, they want to label me “Be more stable,” “Don’t take risks,” “Time is short, seize the moment” But I hear, deep inside, there’s a battery that never runs out It sends pulses, sending Morse code invitations to the world I’m the dark flame, I’m the dark flame, burning hot in the gaps of rules! Unsweetened coffee, the screen still lit at midnight, all are my silent poetry I will not be tamed, I will not be tamed, even if I fall, I’ll do it in graceful slow motion! Scars turn into armor, a shining galaxy grows on my chest Oh~ This dark flame, never fading! PPT edited to the ninth version, saying “Good morning” to the sunrise Swallowing grievances in the breakroom, practicing a smile in the mirror I’ve heard judgmental stares, also heard “you’re already great” as comfort But what I want isn’t a certificate, but a hand-drawn map of my journey Breaking down the word “impossible” into pieces, one by one, overturning them My value doesn’t need anyone to mark it with a red pen I understand, I understand, sometimes it snows on this path But only my fingers are frozen, not the wild field inside me that keeps running I want to be, I want to be, not just a point of light But myself, I want to be the core station that generates power I’m the dark flame, I’m the dark flame, burning hot in the gaps of rules! Unsweetened coffee, the screen still lit at midnight, all are my silent poetry I will not be tamed, I will not be tamed, even if I fall, I’ll do it in graceful slow motion! Scars turn into armor, a shining galaxy grows on my chest Oh~ This dark flame, never fading! When the overtime lights drown out the stars of the city When self-doubt floods over the shores of my confidence I press the mute button, and hear a louder voice saying: “Every step you’ve taken counts, you’re building your own skyscraper.” Look, those like me, eyes full of fire, In operating rooms, laboratories, courtrooms, cubicles… they’re all shining bright! [I’m the dark flame, dark flame, dark flame...] Not seeking favoritism, just claiming the arena that belongs to me With gentle power, breaking through all the arrogant imaginations My script, I’m the one who writes it, not someone’s appendix When one day, my light shines on the road I came from, I’ll say: “Look, that’s my dark flame, finally, burned into the focused sun.”
