Now I see this way
It looks like purple line
Gotta introduce myself
I can't even feel, seized by these suspicions
There are times I can't even take a step
Really wanna get in touch with myself, even though I wish for a miracle
Without a strong heart, I can't move forward
Right now!
* Purple line, let me setup my world!
No one else has ever walked this way
Embrace your dreams and keep searching for the way to live
My progression to be "me"
With your strong feelings in hand, show that you can seize victory
A purple line of passion
When challenges assail me, my heart becomes completely out of my control
But I won't run away if this is what it takes to grow
As I say this to myself, I'll overcome it all, right now!
** Purple line, let me setup my world!
No one else has ever walked this way
Embrace hope, keep gazing toward the future
Into my progression, I'll put my wishes
I'll never give up
A purple line of truth
As we engrave this moment on our hearts
Let's paint time like a movie
To find a "now" that's worth more than the yesterdays,
Imagine an evolving premonition... oh-oh
Yo! Check it!
This way of thinking, like all is lost
You must be loving your way
Because we must move forward
Let me, with my strength (help with)
Such as things that you do
Keep on working like that
Only your goal will decide
(Then we'll) hurl into our past
(And) show you what's between
(Woo!) The world's black and white, light and darkness, like south and north
(Woo!) Good and evil are smiling, beckoning me
(Woo!) In order to follow the path I believe
(Woo!) My soul will keep shouting out
We gotta purple like that. My time is still going on
* Repeat
** Repeat
Translator's Notes:
I 触れる (fureru) can mean both to touch and feel, I just felt feel worked better with the phrase that followed. Also, with 身動きひとつとれない (miugoki hitotsu torenai), even though nothing about a "step" is mentioned, the general idea is that you can't move. I just chose a somewhat more specific phrase. And thank you to hayate_icewind for the suggestion because I was quite unsure of how "really wanna touch myself" was supposed to fit with the rest of this verse. o.O
I'm practically 100% sure that when they say "this way" it's a reference to the path they're taking, not the manner in which they walk.No one else has ever walked this way. So, while it would be easier to read if it said "has ever walked this path," the choice of English for the song didn't really allow it. 自分らしく (jibun rashiku) is a fun phrase that means basically "in a me-like way / like me." For ease of understanding, I've just translated it as "me" with quotes to hopefully help pull the meaning across. 勝ち遂げてみせる (kachi togete miseru) is interesting. The 'miseru' adds a feeling of determination, a "I'm gonna do this no matter what/even if you think I can't " type of sentiment. This was rather hard to convey with only a few words, hopefully it makes sense.
I realize this verse sounds awkward and I apologize for that. The idea is that when faced with hardship, (he) freaks out, doesn't handle it well. But (he) won't give up, because it's challenges and such that help you grow/mature. So, taking that as a personal mantra of sorts, (he) strives to overcome all of trials that come (his) way... yes ^^;;;
These couple of lines were a bit tricky. There isn't actually a word that would translate as "find" here, but it helped to smooth over the English structure. I think the idea is that we want to start living in times that are better than those past and that to find this "high value" way of life, one needs to picture an evolution from the 'bad' yesterdays to the 'good' days we want to be real.
And Yunho's rap. It sure was..... interesting? o.O Yeah. I think it's supposed to be an encouragement. After the previous verse of yearning for a better present, Yunho is commenting on how to go about this. The parts in parentheses (help with, then we'll, and) are things that are not actually said but that I feel are implied. People need to progress, but it's hard to do so alone. They need strong leaders to help them along. They also need goals to work towards, but more importantly a way to get from the current state to the desired one. Understanding the past is always important for understanding the future, so I think that's sort of what the rap's ending is; a promise to show everything in the middle, the bridge from past to present.

Now I see this way
It looks like purple line
Gotta introduce myself
If I cannot touch the world
If it cannot be shown even to me
How will I understand that I was wrong?
Really wanna touch myself
I cannot even hope for a miracle
If that’s sincerity, I must act again Right Now
Purple Line Let me set up my world
Where no one has walked this way
Now, in my own different method, no one can follow me
The thing I want to see My Progression
Even if my loyalties are divided
After I go against it, the winning moment’s Purple Line
As the challenge repeats again
Experience can be gained everyday
Up till now, I’ve surpassed myself
No longer to me
I can’t oppose but
Time will give me chances again
To the ever exhausted to me
Say this isn’t the end
Purple Line Let me set up my world
Where no one has walked this way
Now, in my own different method, no one can follow me
The thing I want to see My Progression
Even if my loyalties are divided
After I go against it, the winning moment’s Purple Line
There’s a precious moment to me
That abandoned video is like a picture
I live a life that’s like a movie
It’s begun again, my last 2
An image that’s more valuable than yesterday is being born
[RAP]
Yo Check it
Move again and think again
You must be lovin’ the way
The dreams and passion within yourself
How all things that you do keep walkin my death
Don’t believe in failure
You are your only mentor
Show you must be tweak
Woo, the world’s black and white
Each other’s beliefs of south and north, like
Don’t believe in the world, you too can face each other with a different image
I want to embark on a different road
I want to draw a different world
We gotta purple like that
My time is still going on
Purple Line Let me set up my world
Where no one has walked this way
Now, in my own different method, no one can follow me
The thing I want to see My Progression
Even if my loyalties are divided
After I go against it, the winning moment’s Purple Line
Purple Line Let me set up my world
Where no one has walked this way
Now, in my own different method, no one can follow me
The thing I want to see My Progression
Even if my loyalties are divided
After I go against it, the winning moment’s Purple Line
