About This Track

'Tactix' by EXO is a K-Pop track on the 2018 album 'Countdown'. The lyrics frame a secret, mission-led scenario, with commands to proceed, coded access, and a midnight-like countdown atmosphere, culminating in the repeated onomatopoeia of ticking time. One line presses the idea of a dangerous true identity, while others keep pushing the listener towards involvement, turning the “tactix” into a kind of mantra for action and commitment.

"Tactix" is a track by EXO, from the album Countdown, released 24th January 2018. The track is 3:44 long. It's filed under K-Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about EXO.

Lyrics

Tactix

まだ気づかないのか正体は Dangerous
逆えない抗えないミッションなんだ change your world
ターゲットは君 遂行せよ my TACTIX my TACTIX

秘密のパスコード
君にあげよう
その手で扉開けて tonight
Oh 君は共犯者
Give you right give you wrong now
戻れない

月が影つくる頃
秒針が天を指す
この呪文が始まりを告げる
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

聞こえるかい?
すべてくつがえす
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

おびき寄せ
脅かせ
ほら世界は生まれ変わる

宇宙の法則 超えた現実
今 目にした TACTIX だけが リアル bring it on! bring it on!
恐れるなよ ほらもう set ready
ぬかりはない 隙ない strategy
So, you know what?
It's a brand new world...!

月が影つくる頃
大地さえ唸りだす
その循環で新しい生命（いのち）が
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

聞こえるかい?
すべてぬりかえる
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

この衝動で
この本能で
ほら世界は生まれ変わる

惑星から来た... そこで進化した... 未知の生物さ Watch out baby
ルール... 秩序... 言葉さえ通じない もっと感じて Feel my heart

月が影つくる頃
秒針が天を指す
この呪文が始まりを告げる
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

聞こえるかい?
すべてぬりかえる
Tic-tic-tic-tock-tock! tic-tic-tic-tock-tock!

Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata... TACTIX!
Latatatata... Latatatata... Latatatata...

おびき寄せ
脅かせ
ほら世界は生まれ変わる
