내가 바로 불을 집었지
The Korean lines '내 열정에, burn / 내 야망에, burn / 내 삶 속을, burn' translate to 'my passion, burn / my ambition, burn / my life inside, burn'. It's a deliberate, almost methodical list of what he's willing to torch. The repetition feels less like a chorus and more like someone convincing themselves to light the match.
That line, 'Right, I was the one who set the fire', stops the metaphor. It's a blunt admission of agency, not just a feeling.
The way 'Every day I ran' cuts through the chanting. It's a plain admission of exhaustion before the fire starts.
