Scream

DREAMCATCHER's song 'Scream' delves into the emotional turmoil and societal pressures that lead to a silent, internal scream. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped and judged, with their vision obscured and their surroundings tainted by blood. The repeated plea, 'Please, I don’t want to scream,' highlights the desperation and desire to escape from this overwhelming pain. The cold wind and the sensation of being watched add to the feeling of isolation and vulnerability, as the pain flows through their veins like a relentless current.

The song's imagery of bound hands and the sensation of numbness further emphasize the feeling of being trapped and powerless. Despite the stones thrown at them, they cannot break free from their torment. The lyrics question the purpose of their suffering, asking, '누구를 위해서인지' (For whom is this for?). This line reflects the confusion and lack of understanding about the source of their pain. The burning flames and the trick behind the mask symbolize the deceit and hypocrisy they face, with the growing hatred turning them into a random target.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's struggle intensifies. The sharp, cutting words become wounds that they cannot escape, and the suffocating smoke represents the overwhelming nature of their situation. The repeated refrain, 'Please, I don’t want to scream,' underscores their desperate plea for relief. The final verses suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance, as they urge themselves and others to forget and believe that nothing happened. The haunting line, 'I just wanna make you scream,' serves as a chilling reminder of the internal scream that remains unheard, echoing the song's central theme of hidden pain and the struggle to break free from it.
