1. STOP
↬ intro
└ confident lyrics, "I'll go whenever I wanna go" together with the wind, even if something blocks the way, even if it's wrong direction, or i lose to failure - I just take another path

1.2 STOP
↬ continuation of Road Not Taken from Clé2
└ Road Not Taken ends with:
"even if it's suffocating I will never stop,
even if it's suffocating I will never-"
└ STOP begins with:
"-stop. Walk for a bit and sit again"
↬ music is the same

2. DOUBLE KNOT
↬ Bang Chan: when you tie your shoes in a double knot it makes them more secure and it gives you more confidence, for example when you're going to chase your dreams
└ the destination can be different for everyone

2.1 DOUBLE KNOT
↬ song with "i can do anything" meaning
└ i picked my path, and that's me who is paving it now

2.3 DOUBLE KNOT
↬ Changbin: when you get too greedy, if you're coloring and get overzealous with colors, you'll end up with black eventually. that's the meaning i was going for. i wanted to convey that you don't need to try achieve a lot

3. 바람 (LEVANTER)
└ answer of clé series - the one i need is me, i have to let things go
└ lyrical melody and positive genre
↬ korean title: 바람 (baram) - wind
└ 바람 also means wish/hope
↬ english title: levanter - strong wind of western Mediterranean Sea

3.2 바람 (LEVANTER)
↬ inspired by a book and a poem
└ poem might be The Graveyard by the Sea by Paul Valéry, he lived in Sète, a town on the Mediterranean coast

3.3 바람 (LEVANTER)
↬ there are things ("you") that i couldn't let go, but when i let go of that ("you"), better situation can occur and i can gain more things
└ i don't need "you", because i have to trust myself to gain what i really want

3.4 바람 (LEVANTER)
↬ i was blinding by "you" and by constantly chasing "you" that u lost my own identity

3.5 바람 (LEVANTER)
↬ i should trust myself more, because the one who is paving my own way is me.

4. BOOSTER
↬ song with explosive mood, mixing strong rap and three-dimensional vocals
↬ song with "i don't need anything alse, i am going my own full speed together with the wind" meaning
└ wind again

5. ASTRONAUT
↬ easy to listen song with bouncing beat and melody
↬song contains:
└ Stray Kids' young spirit
└ messages such as:

5.2 ASTRONAUT
↬ they are young and nothing is gonna stop them to be free
└ they don't need a map, anywhere will be their hideout
└ they can even go to space, like an astronaut

6. SUNSHINE
└ inspired by mountains and sky in LA
↬ about ideal break rather than realistic break
└ Jisung: "on a day off i can't get out of work, because i am anxious, people like me can't take a break, because then they feel empty"

6.2 SUNSHINE
↬ once again "wind" in lyrics
└ leave all worries to the wind

7. YOU CAN STAY

8. MIXTAPE #5
└ originally: Hoodie Season by 3RACHA
