The Allure of Repetition: FIESTAR's 'One More'
FIESTAR's 'One More' is a captivating exploration of the allure and monotony of repetitive experiences in a relationship. The song's lyrics, punctuated by the recurring phrase 'hanananana, hana deo,' which translates to 'one more,' emphasize the cyclical nature of the interactions between the two individuals. This repetition mirrors the routine and predictability that can often characterize long-term relationships, where the same actions and emotions are experienced day after day.
The song delves into the dichotomy of comfort and boredom that comes with familiarity. Lines like 'uri eojebuteo oneulkkaji ttokgateun level' ('from yesterday to today, the same level') and 'achimbuteo jeonyeokkkaji uri dulman' ('from morning to evening, just the two of us') highlight the unchanging nature of their daily lives. Despite this, there is a sense of longing for something more, a desire to break free from the mundane and experience something special, as indicated by 'jom deo teukbyeolhage neukkyeojineun I sungan' ('feeling a bit more special in this moment').
The song also touches on themes of independence and self-worth. The lines 'It don’t matter if you don’t like me' and 'If you think I’m yours, ya wrong, bite me' assert a strong sense of individuality and defiance. This suggests that while the relationship may be repetitive, the individuals within it are still seeking to maintain their own identities and resist being defined solely by their partnership. The interplay between routine and the desire for personal space and recognition adds depth to the song's narrative, making it a relatable anthem for anyone navigating the complexities of a long-term relationship.
