What It Sounds Like Lyrics with Guitar Chords (Huntr/x) Kpop Demon Hunters OST

What It Sounds Like Lyrics

Verse 1: Rumi

Nothing but the truth now

Nothing but the proof of what I am

The worst of what I came from, patterns I'm ashamed of

Things that even I don't understand

I tried to fix it, I tried to fight it

My head was twisted, my heart divided

My lies all collided

I don't know why I didn't trust you to be on my side


Chorus: Rumi, Zoey, Mira

I broke into a million pieces, and I can't go back

But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass

The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony

My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?

I should've let the jagged edges meet the light instead

Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony

The song we couldn't write, this is what it sounds like


Verse 2: Rumi, Zoey, Mira

We're shattering the silence, we're rising, defiant

Shouting in the quiet, "You're not alone"

We listened to the demons, we let them get between us

But none of us are out here on our own

So we were cowards, so we were liars

So we're not heroes, we're still survivors

The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I'm tired

But dive in the fire, and I'll be right here by your side


Chorus: All

We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back

But now we're seeing all the beauty in the broken glass

The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony

My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?

Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead

Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony

Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like


Bridge: All

(Oh, hey) This is what it sounds like

(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey

This is what it sounds like

(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey

This is what it sounds like

(Oh, oh, oh) Hey, hey

Oh, this is what it—, this is what it—

This is what it sounds like


Chorus: All

We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back

But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass

The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony

My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?

Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead

Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony

Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like


Outro: Rumi, All

My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like

Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like

Truth after all this time, our voices all combined

When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like

A Deeper Dive into the Song: What It Sounds Like by Huntr/x Lyrics Meaning

What It Sounds Like is the final song by Huntr/x in the film Kpop Demon Hunters. It serves as their battle song during their final fight with the Saja Boys and Gwi-Ma and his demons. This happens after the Saja Boys had successfully broken Huntr/x apart, and Gwi-Ma manipulated and lured the fans to the underworld. Rumi, finally fully accepting herself, went to rescue her friends and everyone else.

Verses

This is where Rumi had finally accepted herself fully. This also serves as her reflection of how hard she tried to hide being a half-demon and change herself. This is where she realizes that she can’t change who she is, and that she should’ve trusted her friends, Mira and Zoey, more. She also realized that the damage could have been less if her friends had found out about the truth from her rather than being blindsided when Rumi was exposed by the demons, causing them to break apart. 

Chorus

This is the part where Mira and Zoey come out of the trance that Gwi-Ma caused everyone when he lured them to the underworld. The girls finally accepted who they are and decided to set their differences aside so they could fulfill their duty, defeat Gwi-Ma, and protect mankind.

Bridge

This is after Jinu sacrificed himself to save Rumi from Gwi-Ma, giving her his saved soul to increase her power. The rest of the audience/fans also came out of their trances and contributed their voices to Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. The girls become a unit again and finally defeat Gwi-Ma, sealing the portals.
