LOVE SCENARIO (사랑을 했다)

iKON's 'LOVE SCENARIO (사랑을 했다)' is a poignant reflection on the end of a romantic relationship, likening it to the closing scenes of a well-scripted drama. The song's lyrics express a bittersweet acceptance of the relationship's conclusion, acknowledging the beauty of the shared moments while recognizing that it's time to move on. The recurring phrase '사랑을 했다' which translates to 'We were in love,' encapsulates the essence of the song—a past tense acknowledgment that love was present but is no longer active.

The metaphor of a 'love scenario' suggests that the relationship was like a story with its own plot, characters, and inevitable ending. The lyrics convey a sense of finality as the 'lights go out' and the 'last page is turned,' indicating that the story has come to its end. Despite the pain of separation, there is a sense of gratitude for the love that was shared and the memories that will linger. The song's tone is not one of despair but rather of a mature and reflective goodbye, with the understanding that the love they experienced is a precious memory to be cherished, not a tragedy to be mourned.

The song also touches on the universal themes of love and loss, the passage of time, and the healing process that follows a breakup. The lyrics suggest that the memories of love will occasionally resurface, but the presence of these memories is enough to bring comfort. The song's narrative concludes with a resolve to remember the warmth of the relationship like a 'warm spring,' indicating a peaceful closure and the ability to look back with fondness rather than sorrow.
