The translated lyrics for Blue Lips dropped and yk big papa had to analyse!!
BEFORE I START!! THIS IS MY OPINION!! AND IT MIGHT CHANGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE
"Saw you swimming in a pool
Thought we were going out for dinner
Make me fall into your pool
Make me trip, make me a fool"
im not really sure about this at the moment so this part might change BUT!
"saw you in the pool" you as in core
and i go more into later on but the "pool" and "being cold" i think symbolizes being alone/lonely and ageing
so they saw us being alone or bored "thought we were going out for dinner" they thought that we were content with other groups
“Make me fall into your pool, make me trip, make me a fool”
Maybe how much humiliation they had to go through? Or what I also talk more about later but maybe the embarrassing child like mistakes they did as trainees
(again im not really sure about this)
"Yeah, talking to the moon
Dreams feel elusive, but what else do we got?
This is what we choose
The bitter and sweet of it both intertwine"
talking to the moon made me think of bruno mars 2010 song "talking to the moon" and that song is about feeling lonely and missing someone
i feel like its similar for cortis BUT
instead of missing someone else, i think they mean they are going to miss who they are when they're older.
"this is what we choose, The bitter and sweet of it both intertwine"
yeah they did choose the idol life but maybe it wasn't what they expected and they just have to learn to live with the good and the bad.
"Shining through the gloom
Nothing else to say, still racing life's clock
Wanna change the views"
again they keep choosing to look on the bright side of things even though it's harder than they expected.
they wanted to change the kpop industry while being young but its harder than they expected.
my favourite Lyrics are 10000%
"I need something else and a new "why"
Blue flame getting put out
These days getting too tired
Inner child tryna sneak out
Choosing to fly cause he can't hide"
god it just reminds me of when Keonho's mom said "I pushed you into the world too soon"
i think what they mean by a new why is that the original reason for why the became idols isn't enough anymore to drive them or that its no good enough reason to do what they do.
"Blue flame getting put out, These days getting too tired"
is their motivation. they are getting burned out / tired from how hard the idol life is, because im sure they didn't expect to become so big so quickly, as seen in the Debut day video on their youtube.
but because they became so big and so loved so quickly they probably have to move faster than they trained / excepted / wanted.
"Inner child tryna sneak out"
omg im trying not to cry while writing this, cause all i can think about is their parents and sisters. how they must be so worried for them. again what keonhos mom said.
cause the were young. too young. martin has been a trainee since he was 11.
for me, thats the most vulnerable and important time of your childhood, its the time were you learn and discover and make mistakes. the last few years before becoming a real teenager, which is a whole other convo.
"Choosing to fly cause he can't hide"
children make embarrassing mistakes and usually they can hide and reflect or run to someone trusted with that mistake and fix it
but since they've been out the house since what? 11, 12, 13, 14? and not to even mention james with the whole leaving ur home country ALONE.
they probably don't have the strongest relationships with their families because they just didn't have the time or the energy to.
so they force themselves to move on / run away from mistakes instead of reflecting on them, cause they probably don't know who to.
and i honestly get why their parents baby them so much (seen in the Going home on their youtube) sure cortis see themselves as grown, but their parents / siblings are robbed from the experience of seeing them grow too.
"Every day, fighting for peace signs
Roll with the waves like a seaside
Chasing magic, but my feet tired
Get to the end and hit rewind"
"chasing the magic but my feet tired" is what i was talking about before, they are happy but they are running / working harder that they ran / should. they are just pushing themselves to get to the end so they can get a break just to be able to hit rewind
"Every day, fighting for peace signs
Roll with the waves like a seaside"
maybe they fought a lot as trainees for their individuality but they were forced in to the idol/trainee box / forced to go with the unatural flow?
"We've been in here way too long" they've been trainees for way too long or they've been alone for too long
"I've been feelin' way too cold" again they've been alone for too long
"Can we stay in here lil bit more?
Out of the pool, I know you'll be gone"
they know one of their appeals as a group is that they are young but everyone is a victim to ageing, "out the pool" or when they are older they know that the young creator crew title will no longer be theirs and their scared that when it happens we as core will be gone, cause everyone moves on eventually. that's just human nature.
"Can we stay in here lil bit more?
With me, with me, with me"
they want us to stay with them cause theyve been cold = alone for too long
so what i think they are mean is:
they know that once they get out the pool = they're not young anymore and too burned out from their career and start to move slower, (as in it takes them longer to make music) people will lose interest in them cause they are not what they used to be / they lost that young creator crew appeal to them.
so they are asking us to at least stay with them for now. while their young and moving fast.
cause they were cold for so long = alone for so long
but now we as core are in the pool with them
they are turning blue from the cold = being alone
some studies show that when your too stressed or too burned out for a long period of time, your nervous system has a harder time working.
i read a wellness article once said that going on a long hike when you've been stressed or burned out can actually cause more harm than good, because you're overworking your already overworked body and nervous system.
And it’s especially dumb when it’s cold cause a human body works slower in the cold to save energy but if your already burned out and stressed your just gonna get colder and colder cause all the blood is at the important organs trying to keep them alive
God I love them so much, they are too talented for their own good.
