I've Been Thinking

Dimitrix's song 'I've Been Thinking' is a heartfelt exploration of infatuation and longing. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, particularly the phrase 'I’ve been thinkin', emphasizes the obsessive nature of the narrator's thoughts about their love interest. This repetition mirrors the way someone might be consumed by thoughts of another person, unable to focus on anything else. The use of both English and Korean lyrics adds a unique cultural layer, making the song relatable to a broader audience while maintaining a personal touch.

The lyrics delve into the narrator's internal struggle and emotional turmoil. Lines like '아무리 고갤 흔들어도 난 네 생각만 하고 있을 뿐' (No matter how much I shake my head, I only think of you) and '아무리 딴짓 해봐도 난 너의 목소리만 들릴 뿐' (No matter how much I try to do something else, I only hear your voice) highlight the narrator's inability to escape their thoughts. This sense of being trapped in one's own mind is a common theme in love songs, but Dimitrix's delivery makes it feel fresh and genuine.

The song also touches on themes of confidence and vulnerability. The narrator expresses a desire to confess their feelings, despite the fear of rejection. Phrases like 'Lonely 고백해볼까' (Should I confess my loneliness?) and '눈 감고 말해볼까' (Should I close my eyes and say it?) show the internal debate between taking a risk and staying silent. The repeated calls for the listener to 'say yeah' and the assertion that '우리 둘만 완벽한 lover' (We are the perfect lovers) suggest a longing for mutual recognition and validation.

'I’ve Been Thinking' is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and desire. Dimitrix captures the essence of being consumed by thoughts of another person, blending vulnerability with a touch of confidence. The song's emotional depth and relatable themes make it a compelling listen for anyone who has ever experienced the highs and lows of infatuation.
