Four Seasons

TAEYEON's 'Four Seasons' is a poignant exploration of love's transient nature, using the metaphor of changing seasons to depict the evolution of a romantic relationship. The lyrics reflect on the passage of time and the emotional highs and lows experienced throughout the relationship. The song begins with the acknowledgment that seasons come and go, much like the phases of love. TAEYEON reminisces about giving her all to her partner, symbolized by giving her 'seasons' and 'summer,' representing warmth, passion, and dedication.

The song delves into the complexity of love, questioning whether the love shared was genuine. The reference to Shakespeare's plays suggests a dramatic and intense relationship, one that felt like it could be the last great love. However, as time passes, the initial intensity fades, and the couple begins to see each other's flaws and desires for something different. This shift is captured in the line, '둘밖에 안 보였나 봐, 다른 걸 좀 보고파,' indicating a longing to see beyond just each other.

As the song progresses, TAEYEON reflects on the bittersweet nature of their time together. The lyrics '서로를 그리워했고, 서로를 지겨워하지' highlight the duality of missing and growing tired of each other. The changing seasons symbolize the inevitable changes in their relationship, with the hope that they can shine again before everything rusts away. Ultimately, the song concludes with a sense of acceptance and closure, as TAEYEON decides to let go of her 'world' and move on, questioning if she truly loved her partner. This introspective journey through the seasons of love resonates with anyone who has experienced the ebb and flow of a deep, yet impermanent, relationship.
