“Double Knot” is the first single ahead of Stray Kids' Clé : LEVANTER. The song features a heavy hip-hop influence over their EDM anthem-style reminiscent of their debut track “District 9”.
In an interview video from Genius Verified series, Bang Chan explained the meaning of “Double Knot”:
When yo...
[Verse 1: Han]
The thoughts inside my head, I think it's time to let them out
No question on which way to go, it doesn't matter now
I take a step, whichever destination, I'll be runnin'
Tighten up my laces 'cause I'm ready to be movin'
[Refrain: Han, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Felix, Seungmin]
Now I'm free, get up
I know that I can go anywhere
Free, get up
You'll be surprised, I'll be everywhere
Free, get out
Anywhere now, I don't even care
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[Pre-Chorus: Changbin, Hyunjin]
Straighten up your posture and walk
'Cause in the end, you're unstoppable
Stand up wherever you go
You'll make it with no trouble
Dramatic cutscene
Every scene is the best of the best 'cause my life is a five-star movie
I'm not done yet, so
[Chorus: All]
Tight-tight, go brace yourself
I tighten my double knot
I tighten my double knot
Stray Kids
[Post-Chorus: Seungmin, Lee Know, Han, I.N, Bang Chan]
Anywhere I go now, go, go
My decision, my life, go, go
Anywhere I go now, go, go
The way I wanna go
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
[Verse 2: Felix, Changbin]
Blank-sided dice, no-sided coin, wherever it points
Now it doesn't matter 'cause I'm following the broken compass in the void
Even if you think you can't get enough
One out a hundred is just good enough, yuh
Mix every single color only just to watch it all end up black
[Refrain: Han, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Felix, Seungmin]
Now I'm free, get up
I know that I can go anywhere
Free, get up
You'll be surprised, I'll be everywhere
Free, get out
Anywhere now, I don't even care
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[Pre-Chorus: Hyunjin, Han]
I've been looking at a destination
Suddenly, my vision kept on getting wider
Looked around to see the many ways and possibilities
I keep getting stronger
Go, break all the, break all the rules, ah
Don't care about anything, brrah
I do whatever I want, so
[Chorus: All]
Tight-tight, go brace yourself
I tighten my double knot
I tighten my double knot
Stray Kids
[Post-Chorus: Seungmin, Lee Know, Han, I.N, Bang Chan]
Anywhere I go now, go, go
My decision, my life, go, go
Anywhere I go now, go, go
The way I wanna go
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
[Bridge: Changbin, Han]
Don't even matter, ayy, ayy
Wherever I go, ayy, ayy
Whatever happens, I'ma do what I want, ah
[Drop: Han, All]
Ooh
Double knot
Woo
Double knot
(Hey) Go, go, go, go
(Hey) Go, go
Double knot

When you tie your shoes in a double knot, it kinda makes them more secure and it gives you more confidence when you go for long runs so I think we put that...
