It can be anything but ordinary. the south korean band stray kids is showing the music industry what they are made of and all the artistic potential they possess. On their sixth EP, which they named “ODDINARY”the song is included “MANIAC” (in Spanish, “Maníaco”), a really energetic and powerful song, very extraordinary.
“MANIAC” was written and composed by Bang Chan, Changbin and Hanmembers of Stray Kids (in turn make up the hip-hop trio 3STREAM), along with producer VERSACHOI. We can describe this song as a anthem for new generations, for “strange people”Who break “ordinary” social norms and expectationsestablished around the world.
“MANIAC” conveys the following message: “don’t get stuck in the framework set by the world and reveal your true self.”
At an online press conference held by Stray Kids for the release of their “ODDINARY” EP, rapper, songwriter, and producer Han explained about the song, having created it after being inspired by people’s daily lives.
I believe that each person has a certain uniqueness within them that is different from others, we did this in the hope that people would show themselves to others, to their heart’s content.
Also, in a statement released by JYP Entertainment after the release of “ODDINARY,” the missing child” expressed that “MANIAC” is a song that shows the world “our own ‘manic’ side, not according to the ordinary and simple way of life established by the world.
“This is a song where you can feel the most mature atmosphere and restraint completed with condensed energy, going beyond the previously displayed charms, now you meet the new Stray Kids.”
Lyrics in Spanish of “MANIAC”, a song by Stray Kids
relax people
stop pretending to be normal
All their smiles look strange
When the lock opens, we are all the same
Your eyes can’t deceive me
My true self has been released
I’m coming to my senses
After blinking once, it returns
Again, we dress up as what society considers ‘normal’
Come through, my mind explodes
Keep my mind back up
A prototype, but inside I’m always a freak freak
Kindness is out of fashion, now it’s rotten
You can criticize me as much as you want, I’ll still ignore them
explode
You’re wrong if you think I’m just pure and innocent
People confuse my goodwill with their ‘right’, toxic
That drives me crazy, notice
Maniac
It drives me crazy, like I need a screw, maniac
Spinning around, I’ll go crazy
Manic, I walk like Frankenstein
maniac, maniac
Maniac
Laughing like I’m missing a screw, maniac
(You can’t stop the smoke)
Spinning around, I’ll go crazy (thick as fog)
Maniac, a bunch full of maniacs (we are maniacs)
maniac, maniac
Like the stitching of a broken doll
Eventually, you’ll expose your true self
In this life nothing is easy
It’s not ‘live’, it’s ‘bear it’, yeah
relax people
stop pretending to be normal
All your forced smiles
When the lock opens, we are all the same
Your eyes can’t deceive me
The street I walk down is completely mined
Like a dormant volcano, you never know when everything will explode
You never know when the calm winds will change
They all live in hiding, like a sealed tornado
explode
You’re wrong if you think I’m just pure and innocent
People confuse my goodwill with their ‘right’, toxic
That drives me crazy, notice
Maniac
It drives me crazy, like I need a screw, maniac
Spinning around, I’ll go crazy
Manic, I walk like Frankenstein
maniac, maniac
Maniac
Laughing like I’m missing a screw, maniac
(You can’t stop the smoke)
Spinning around, I’ll go crazy (thick as fog)
Maniac, a bunch full of maniacs (we are maniacs)
maniac, maniac
lunatic look
I became sensitive
I wrapped my senses in pretty paper to keep them locked up
As time goes by, it will eventually be revealed
My true self hidden inside of me, yeah
Maniac
manic (manic)
Maniac
maniac, maniac
You can’t stop this feeling
Maniac
Laughing like I’m missing a screw (you can’t stop the smoke)
Spinning around, I’ll go crazy (thick as fog)
Maniac, a bunch full of maniacs (we are maniacs)
maniac, maniac
