FEVER

ATEEZ's song 'FEVER' delves into the intense emotions and uncertainties that come with youth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggles faced by young people as they navigate a world that often feels like a series of unsolvable problems. The recurring theme of 'fever' symbolizes the heightened state of emotional and physical turmoil that the youth experience. This fever is not just a literal illness but a metaphor for the passionate, sometimes overwhelming, feelings that come with growing up.

The song captures the essence of feeling lost and uncertain, as expressed in lines like 'Every day, every night, 하나 분명한 게 없는 여름밤' (Every day, every night, nothing is certain on a summer night). This uncertainty is a common experience for many young people who are trying to find their place in the world. The lyrics also touch on the idea of shared experiences, asking 'Are you there? How you feel? 너도 나와 같은 어둠 속일까' (Are you there? How you feel? Are you also in the same darkness as me?). This creates a sense of solidarity among listeners, reassuring them that they are not alone in their struggles.

The song also emphasizes the importance of letting go and embracing the chaos of youth. The repeated line 'So I gotta let it go' serves as a mantra for releasing pent-up anxieties and fears. The lyrics suggest that this feverish state is a natural part of being young, and rather than fighting it, one should accept and learn from it. The song concludes with a sense of gratitude for the passionate, albeit tumultuous, experiences of youth, encapsulated in the line '먼 훗날 기억될 거친 젊음에 감사해' (Thankful for the rough youth that will be remembered in the distant future).
