Abracadabra

In '(G)I-DLE's' song 'Abracadabra,' the lyrics delve into the intense emotions of obsession and transformation driven by unrequited love. The protagonist, once gentle and kind, finds herself changing into a more desperate and determined version of herself due to her infatuation with someone who is involved with another person. The repeated use of magical and supernatural imagery, such as casting spells and voodoo, symbolizes her desperate attempts to win over the object of her affection, even if it means resorting to dark and extreme measures.

The chorus, with lines like 'Every night I'll be with you' and 'Do you love her? Do you love me?' highlights the protagonist's inner turmoil and longing for reciprocation. She is willing to do anything, even things beyond her usual character, to make her fantasy a reality. The lyrics 'Bring, bring 너를 내게 가져다줘' (Bring, bring, bring you to me) and '모든 걸 걸겠어, 널 내가 내가 갖겠어' (I'll bet everything, I'll have you) emphasize her determination and the lengths she is willing to go to achieve her goal.

The song also touches on the theme of losing oneself in the process of trying to gain someone else's love. The protagonist acknowledges her transformation from a '여리여리 착하던 그런 내가' (gentle and kind person) to someone who is '독한 나로 변해 내가' (becoming a more ruthless person). This change is driven by her obsession and the pain of seeing the person she loves with someone else. The repeated chant of '랄랄랄랄랄라-랄랄랄라' and '아브라카다브라, 다 이뤄져라' (Abracadabra, let it all come true) serves as a mantra, reinforcing her desire for her wishes to be fulfilled through any means necessary.

Overall, 'Abracadabra' by (G)I-DLE is a powerful exploration of the darker side of love and obsession, using vivid imagery and emotional intensity to convey the protagonist's inner struggle and transformation.
