Heart Attack

EXO's 'Heart Attack' is a vivid portrayal of the overwhelming emotions that come with falling in love. The song's lyrics describe the intense feelings and physical reactions that accompany the presence of a loved one. The metaphor of a 'heart attack' is used to convey the sudden, powerful impact that love can have, likening it to a life-altering event that leaves one breathless and in awe.

The song opens with the imagery of a blinding light, symbolizing the dazzling presence of the person the singer is infatuated with. This person is described as a 'flashlight,' a source of intense illumination that outshines everything else. The singer is captivated by their presence, experiencing a mix of reality and fantasy as they navigate through a maze of emotions. The repeated phrase 'Oh no no 아니겠지 진짜 넌 아니겠지' (Oh no no, it can't be you, it can't be the real you) reflects the singer's disbelief and amazement at the situation.

As the song progresses, the singer's emotions intensify, culminating in the 'heart attack' moment. This is described as the end of time, a moment so powerful that it feels like the world has stopped. The singer's heart races, and they are overwhelmed by a sense of euphoria and peace, even to the point of feeling like they could stop breathing. The song captures the duality of love's impact—both exhilarating and calming, chaotic and serene. The final lines express a longing for the moment to last forever, highlighting the deep emotional connection and the desire for permanence in this fleeting experience.
