Birthday

ATEEZ's song 'Birthday' is a vibrant celebration of life, filled with energy and a sense of fearlessness. The lyrics convey a message of living each day as if it were a special occasion, like a birthday or payday, where one can let loose and enjoy the moment. The repeated phrases 'like my birthday, like my payday' emphasize the importance of treating every day with the same excitement and joy, suggesting that life should be lived to the fullest without fear or hesitation.

The song is rich with metaphors and cultural references. For instance, the line 'I'm a mess, 大胆不敵 邪魔するな' (I'm a mess, bold and fearless, don't get in my way) highlights the band's confidence and determination to live boldly. The reference to 'Pac-Man' and 'mayday' adds a playful yet intense element, suggesting that life is a game where one must keep moving forward despite obstacles. The imagery of lighting a fire and dancing in chaos ('灯せ 歪んだ心 解き放て炎') symbolizes breaking free from societal norms and embracing one's true self.

ATEEZ's musical style, characterized by high-energy performances and powerful vocals, complements the song's theme of unrestrained celebration. The lyrics '華麗な狂気を踊ろう' (let's dance in splendid madness) and '壊れてしまうほど' (to the point of breaking) further emphasize the idea of pushing boundaries and living passionately. The song encourages listeners to embrace chaos and find paradise even in the midst of confusion, making 'Birthday' a powerful anthem for those who dare to live boldly and unapologetically.
