A Nostalgic Promise: GOT7's 'ENCORE'
GOT7's song 'ENCORE' is a heartfelt ode to the enduring bond between the members and their fans. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and a promise to remain youthful and unchanging despite the passage of time. The opening lines, '아직 우린 어린아이 같은데 / 세상은 어른이라 부르네' (We are still like children / but the world calls us adults), set the tone for the song, highlighting the contrast between their inner feelings and external expectations. This sentiment is further emphasized with the vow to never grow up, capturing the essence of their youthful spirit and the memories they cherish.
The chorus, '널 위해 부를게 / (Encore, encore)' (I will sing for you / Encore, encore), serves as a pledge to their fans, promising to continue performing and being there for them. The repetition of 'Encore' symbolizes the desire to keep the connection alive, no matter how much time passes. The song reminisces about the early days of their journey, where everything was new and every moment felt like a gift. This is evident in the lines, '모든게 처음이었던 우리에겐 / 너의 모든게 선물이었던 걸' (For us, who were experiencing everything for the first time / everything about you was a gift).
As the song progresses, it acknowledges the inevitable changes and the passage of time, yet it reassures that the bond remains unbroken. The lyrics, '오랜시간 우리 함께 했던 건 / 아무 이유없이 너라서 그래' (The reason we spent so much time together / is simply because it was you), highlight the deep connection and the significance of their shared experiences. The song concludes with a promise to continue singing for their fans, even as time goes by, encapsulating the enduring nature of their relationship. 'ENCORE' is a beautiful tribute to the memories they've created and the unwavering support they have for each other.
