Karma

DEMIAN's song 'Karma' delves into the complexities of love and the inevitable heartbreak that often accompanies it. The lyrics reflect a sense of regret and confusion, as the protagonist grapples with the end of a relationship. The opening lines, 'Ne soneul nokon haetji / Geuttaen mollasseunikka,' suggest a moment of realization and loss, where the protagonist acknowledges letting go of something precious without fully understanding its value at the time. This sets the tone for a journey through the emotional aftermath of a breakup.

The recurring question, 'How to end my love,' underscores the protagonist's struggle to move on. This phrase is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the difficulty of severing emotional ties. The lyrics 'All our promises hana dulssik / Doraseotji moreun chae' highlight the broken promises and the sense of betrayal that often accompany the end of a relationship. The metaphor 'But this love ain’t fair sisogachi' likens love to a game with unfair rules, further illustrating the protagonist's feelings of helplessness and frustration.

The vivid imagery in the lines 'Juhwangbit gieok ppajin chae / Boratbit daedap hanmadi' paints a picture of memories stained with emotions, using colors to symbolize different feelings. The 'bit eomneun bang anui saegeun pon anui saek' suggests a room devoid of light, representing the protagonist's inner turmoil and the darkness that follows a breakup. Despite the pain, the repeated 'I love you' at the end of these lines indicates lingering feelings and the difficulty of completely letting go. DEMIAN's 'Karma' captures the cyclical nature of love and heartbreak, resonating with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of a romantic relationship.
