BEcause

DREAMCATCHER's 'BEcause' delves into the complex and often dark facets of love and obsession. The lyrics reveal a protagonist who hides their true self behind a facade, suggesting a duality in their personality. The opening lines, '꼭꼭 다 숨기고서 잘 살았네요 / 아직 그댄 날 잘 몰라요,' indicate that the protagonist has been living a life of pretense, hiding their true nature from others. This sets the stage for a narrative where the protagonist's outward appearance contrasts sharply with their inner reality.

The recurring theme of duality is further emphasized in the chorus, 'Because I like you / 두 눈에 가득 찬 별 / 나의 세레나데 / 천사 같은 얼굴로 / 사랑한다 말해.' Here, the protagonist expresses their love with an angelic face, yet the underlying tone suggests a more possessive and obsessive form of affection. The use of metaphors like 'ocean view' to describe the lover's expression adds a layer of depth, indicating a sense of vastness and mystery in their emotions.

The song also touches on themes of control and manipulation. Lines like '첨부터 다시 A to Z / My teaching 철칙 / 철저히 무시 / 밀실 안에 키는 없어 / Now I'm 절치부심' suggest a meticulous and almost calculated approach to love, where the protagonist seeks to teach and control their partner. The phrase 'Every dog has his day' implies a sense of inevitability and perhaps even a warning that their true nature will eventually be revealed. The song's haunting melody and eerie atmosphere complement these dark themes, making 'BEcause' a compelling exploration of the fine line between love and obsession.
