LOST

In (G)I-DLE's song 'LOST,' the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil and eventual acceptance that comes with the end of a significant relationship. The song opens with a poignant metaphor, questioning whether covering the blinding sunlight with one's hand can bring darkness, symbolizing the struggle to obscure painful memories. This sets the tone for a journey through heartache and the process of moving on.

The chorus, 'I don't wanna think about you, without you,' captures the essence of the internal conflict faced by someone who is trying to forget a past lover. The repetition of this line emphasizes the difficulty of letting go and the reluctance to face a future without the person who once meant everything. The lyrics also reflect a sense of resignation and the realization that some things cannot be undone, as seen in the lines '돌이킬 수 없잖아' (We can't turn back).

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts towards empowerment and self-recovery. The lines '이제 전부 다 난 잃었다' (Now I've lost everything) and '이제야 난 너를 잊는다' (Now I finally forget you) signify a turning point where the protagonist decides to erase all remnants of the past relationship. The declaration '그깟 사랑이 다 뭐였어' (What was that love anyway) and '나를 사랑하지 않는 고작 너 때문에 눈물 낭비하기 싫어' (I don't want to waste tears over someone who doesn't love me) highlight a newfound strength and determination to move forward. The song concludes with a sense of closure, acknowledging the pain but also embracing the freedom that comes with letting go.

'LOST' by (G)I-DLE is a powerful anthem of heartbreak, self-discovery, and resilience. It resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the journey towards healing and self-empowerment.
