NEED (ooo-eee)

LØREN's song 'NEED (ooo-eee)' is a haunting exploration of the darker aspects of human experience and emotion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world filled with cold hearts, black tar, and wrong causes, suggesting a deep dive into themes of sadness, madness, and damage. The repetitive chant of 'Ohh-wee-ooh-wee-ooh' adds an almost hypnotic quality to the song, drawing listeners into its melancholic and chaotic atmosphere.

The song's verses delve into the internal struggle of the narrator, who seems to be grappling with feelings of inadequacy and confusion. Lines like 'jeongdabeul bogijohge teullimyeon eotteokhae' (What if I make a mistake while looking for the answer?) and 'nae jeorin daricheoreom gyeongjikdoen gwien' (Like my frozen legs, I am paralyzed) reflect a sense of being trapped and overwhelmed by one's own thoughts and emotions. The imagery of 'cold hearts' and 'dead stars' further emphasizes a sense of desolation and loss.

LØREN's use of metaphors such as 'black tar' and 'neon cars' juxtaposes the natural with the artificial, perhaps hinting at the conflict between genuine emotions and the superficiality of modern life. The recurring need for 'a little bit of sadness' and 'a little bit of madness' suggests that these darker elements are not just unavoidable but are also essential parts of the human experience. The song ultimately portrays a complex relationship with pain and chaos, acknowledging their presence while also seeking to understand and perhaps even embrace them.
