Navigating Uncertainty and Self-Confidence in BADVILLAIN's "+82"
BADVILLAIN's "+82" is a dynamic exploration of self-assurance and the unpredictable nature of life. The song opens with a sense of ambiguity, suggesting that the future is uncertain and that even the artist himself is unsure of what lies ahead. The line "점치지 말라고 미래를 who knows?" (Don't predict the future, who knows?) encapsulates this sentiment, emphasizing the unpredictability of life and the futility of trying to foresee what will happen.
The lyrics also delve into themes of self-confidence and resilience. BADVILLAIN portrays himself as someone who is unbothered by competition and external opinions. The repeated phrase "God, god, god, god" and the challenge to competitors with "Spin the block, block, block, block, block" highlight a sense of invincibility and dominance. This bravado is further reinforced by the line "I bet it you don't wanna smoke," suggesting that others are not prepared to face the challenges he can bring.
Moreover, the song touches on the idea of loyalty and betrayal. The line "넌 잘되면 너희 팀 버리니깐" (When you succeed, you abandon your team) hints at the fickle nature of relationships and the tendency for people to change when they achieve success. BADVILLAIN seems to be calling out those who are not loyal, contrasting them with his own steadfastness. The closing line, "할 말 없으면 난 바쁘니깐 이만 good bye" (If you have nothing to say, I'm busy, so goodbye), underscores his focus and determination, indicating that he has no time for distractions or meaningless conversations.
