Nod Nod (Woohyun)

INFINITE's song 'Nod Nod (Woohyun)' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a love that refuses to fade away. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is caught in the throes of heartache, unable to forget a past lover. The repetition of crying and the desire to forget, only to be thwarted by persistent memories, highlights the internal struggle between wanting to move on and being unable to let go. This emotional conflict is a common theme in many love songs, but INFINITE's delivery adds a layer of raw vulnerability that resonates deeply with listeners.

The metaphor of 'gudeunsal gateun nunmul' (tears like old scars) and 'sumi dwae beorin hansum' (a sigh that becomes breath) poignantly captures the enduring pain and the way it has become an intrinsic part of the person's existence. These lines suggest that the sorrow has been present for so long that it has become a fundamental aspect of their being, much like breathing. The song also touches on the fear of expressing these feelings, as the protagonist is hesitant to speak about their emotions, yet yearns for the other person to understand their silent suffering.

The recurring phrase 'kkeudeok, kkeudeok, kkeudeok' (nod, nod, nod) symbolizes the repetitive nature of waiting and hoping, despite knowing that the past cannot be changed. This repetition underscores the futility and the endless cycle of longing and disappointment. The song's melancholic tone and heartfelt lyrics are a testament to INFINITE's ability to convey deep emotional experiences through their music, making 'Nod Nod (Woohyun)' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the difficulty of moving on.
