A K-Pop Anthem of Upekkhā — Calm as Power
“Woo-Pay-Kha” takes its name from Upekkhā, the Buddhist ideal of steady, radiant equanimity — and turns it into a confident K-pop mantra. This girl-group track transforms emotional balance into a bold aesthetic: serene beats, glossy hooks, and lyrics that celebrate staying centered even when the world gets chaotic. It’s sass wrapped in serenity, glam wrapped in grace — a reminder that true strength isn’t loud, it’s unshakably calm. Woo-Pay-Kha makes inner peace feel like the coolest flex on the playlist.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Balanced heart, golden calm — I don’t need no drama.
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Chill like Buddha, soft like water — flow like dharma.
[Verse 1]
Not gonna lose my cool with rude people,
You scream loud, but I’m still peaceful.
Energy check — yours unstable,
Mine’s smooth, I’m unshakable.
Karens in the queue, trying to test my grace,
But I stay zen — see the smile on my face.
Your thunder can’t shake my sea,
Still waters got luxury.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath’s a melody,
Patience is my jewelry.
Kindness got that inner bling,
Hear the calm inside me sing.
[Chorus]
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Balance in my DNA.
Your chaos fades away,
I choose peace today.
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Still and golden, soft and bright,
Cool like Buddha in the light.
[Verse 2]
Face to face with the noise and heat,
I stay royal, serene, elite.
Talk your talk — I meditate,
Your stress don’t cross my state.
Flow’s smooth like morning dew,
Got that calm couture attitude.
I’m unbothered, that’s my art,
Peace of mind is my luxury car.
[Bridge]
Let it roll, let it pass,
Every ripple learns to rest.
Clouds dissolve, the sky returns,
Cool hearts never burn.
(woo-pay-kha… woo-pay-kha…)
[Final Chorus]
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Grace that never slips away.
Regal calm, a gentle flame,
Equanimity’s my name.
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Still and kind, I’m centered high,
Cool like Buddha — that’s my sky.
[Bridge]
Let it roll, let it pass,
Every ripple learns to rest.
Clouds dissolve, the sky returns,
Cool hearts never burn.
(Whispered / rap undercurrent)
Still heart, slow breath, can’t rush this.
Drama knocks, I just hush this.
Karma spins — I wave hello,
Smile so calm, they lose control.
Woo-pay-kha… woo-pay-kha… stay still, stay gold…
Woo-pay-kha (woo-woo),
Woo-pay-kha (stay true).
Light on my skin, peace within,
Breathe out the noise, breathe in the grin.
Woo-pay-kha (woo-woo),
Woo-pay-kha (that’s truth).
Cool like Buddha — never shook,
That’s my holy look.
[Final Chorus]
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Grace that never slips away.
Regal calm, a gentle flame,
Equanimity’s my name.
Woo-pay-kha, woo-pay-kha,
Still and kind, I’m centered high,
Cool like Buddha — that’s my sky.
[Outro]
Woo-pay-kha… woo-pay-kha…
Woo-pay-kha… woo-pay-kha…
