Egoist

LOONA's song 'Egoist' is a powerful anthem of self-love and personal growth. The lyrics narrate the emotional journey of someone who has experienced the pain of a fading relationship. The initial verses describe the protagonist's struggle with the coldness and indifference from their partner, leading to a heart-wrenching realization that they can no longer hold on to the past. The imagery of falling petals and tears at their feet symbolizes the end of a once-beautiful connection, now withered and gone.

As the song progresses, the protagonist begins to shift their focus from the lost relationship to themselves. The chorus is a declaration of self-love and empowerment, with the protagonist vowing to love and cherish themselves more than ever before. This transformation is depicted as a journey from darkness to light, where the protagonist finds solace and strength in the moonlight, representing hope and renewal. The repeated phrase 'Love myself today, let you go today' emphasizes the importance of letting go of the past to embrace a brighter future.

The latter part of the song delves deeper into the protagonist's newfound self-awareness. They acknowledge the advice and support they received, which helped them grow and realize that they are their own source of strength. The lyrics suggest that meeting oneself in the vast universe is not a mere coincidence but a destined and blessed event. This realization culminates in a firm commitment to prioritize self-love and personal well-being, marking the end of a painful chapter and the beginning of a new, self-empowered life.
