Tws 4Th Mini Album ‘Play Hard’ | Tws – Overdrive Lyrics ( English Translation )

[Verse 1]
Every time your eyes meet mine, even for a second, I’m startled.
It’s so fiercely hot that I’m actually scared.
This is dangerous.
I’m getting overdrive.

I don’t want to be caught for no reason,
But you’re just about to notice me.
These feelings of mine…
I’m getting overdrive.
Over, over, overdrive.

[Verse 2]
Oh, you startled me!
My heart is completely surprised because of you.
Hot, hot, it’s burning up.
My body’s gonna blow up.
With just one glance from you, all my senses are turned up full volume.

[Chorus]
I don’t have time for this anymore.
I was ready since yesterday.
Let’s go right now.
I’m getting overdrive.
Over, over, overdrive.

[Bridge]
I can’t go back.
Seeing you that day was my biggest mistake.
Who else can I blame?
I can’t do this anymore, I really can’t,
Every single time I see you.

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart goes thud (thud).
You’re making my heart go thud-thud (thud).
I can’t take it anymore.
Oh my (oh my)!
Is it always like this for everyone?
You’re making my heart go thud-thud (thud).
I just can’t resist you (you).
Oh my (oh my)!
You make me overdrive.

[Verse 3]
Umm… overdrive.
Umm…
I’m getting, getting, getting overdrive.
It’s getting hot in here.
It’s getting hot, hot.
It’s getting hot in here.
Over, over, overdrive.

[Bridge 2]
I can’t go back.
I’ll tell you now.
Honestly, without you, even my own heart finds no joy.
I can’t do this anymore, I really can’t,
Every single time I see you.

[Final Pre-Chorus & Outro]
My heart goes thud (thud)…
You’re making my heart go thud-thud (thud)…
I might really die like this…
You put me in overdrive.
Umm… overdrive…
I’m getting, getting, getting overdrive.

Lyrical Meaning :

“OVERDRIVE” by TWS is an energetic K-pop track that uses the metaphor of a system pushed beyond its limits to describe the overwhelming, all-consuming physical and emotional experience of a powerful crush or attraction.

The central concept is “overdrive”—a state where emotions (heartbeat, body heat, nervous energy) are amplified to an intense, almost dangerous degree. The lyrics vividly describe this sensory overload: the speaker is constantly “startled” by the other’s gaze, feels so “hot” it’s scary, and fears their body might “blow up.” The pounding heart (“thud-thud”) acts as a rhythmic anchor for this uncontrollable physiological response.

The song captures the thrilling yet terrifying loss of control that comes with deep infatuation. Lines like “This is dangerous” and “I can’t go back” highlight the point of no return—once these feelings are triggered, there’s no retreating to a state of calm indifference. It’s a confession of being utterly captivated, where the other person becomes the sole source of joy and the catalyst for complete emotional upheaval.

The mood is exhilarating, nervous, and electrically charged. It perfectly soundtracks the dizzying, can’t-think-straight feeling of being around someone who makes your entire being go into “overdrive.” It’s less about sweet romance and more about the raw, exhilarating voltage of attraction.
