펜촉 literally means the nib or tip of a pen, the part that actually touches the paper.
In the song, it appears in the line about writing so many achievements that the ink on the 펜촉 will never dry out. It’s a vivid, unusual word for a lyric, turning a small everyday object into a powerful metaphor for endless creativity, effort, and ambition.
CREED by Stray Kids is a high-octane self-anthem that shouts, “We build our own legend!” From the very first skrt, the members breathe life into their words, boasting that they climb from the dirt to dizzying heights entirely on their own timing. They refuse to waste even a single second, treating every moment as precious as diamonds. The song’s pulse mirrors their hustle: raw, fearless, and packed with bite, proving they back up every bark with real action.
At its core, the track is about loyalty to a personal code—or creed. Stray Kids reject easy shortcuts, calling them “fragrant flowers made by the devil,” and instead carve out their own road, parkour-style, over any obstacle. Authenticity beats flashy façades; the group would rather show unfiltered effort than empty swagger. Their creed keeps them breathing, keeps their pens flowing with future achievements, and fuels their maximum speed toward greatness. Listeners are invited to do the same: trust your voice, stick to your principles, and race ahead on the path you create.
