Chup Chup

Moonbin & Sanha of ASTRO take listeners on a captivating journey with their song 'Chup Chup.' The lyrics paint a picture of a night filled with mystery and enchantment, where emotions fluctuate and dreams blend with reality. The recurring theme of 'in and out' and 'up and down' suggests a sense of uncertainty and anticipation, as if the singers are caught in a dreamlike state where anything can happen. The phrase 'chup chup,' which mimics the sound of a kiss or a sweet sip, adds a layer of sensuality and allure to the song, making it feel both intimate and magical.

The song delves into the idea of longing and desire, as seen in lines like 'Something’s missing' and '계속 탐이 나 유일한 best friend' (I keep craving my only best friend). This longing is not just for a person but for a deeper connection, a merging of dreams and realities. The use of metaphors like '빛깔마저 묘한 juice' (even the color is a strange juice) and '무슨 일이 벌어질 듯해' (it feels like something is about to happen) heightens the sense of anticipation and mystery. The night is described as 'serious,' indicating that this is a moment of significance, where emotions are heightened and anything is possible.

The interplay between 'trick' and 'treat' adds another layer of complexity to the song. It suggests a game of give and take, where the singers are both enchanted and enchanting. The repeated references to 'dejavu' and 'zoom' imply a cyclical nature to their experiences, as if they are reliving the same magical night over and over. This cyclical pattern adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, making it feel timeless and eternal. The song's climax, where the singers declare '더는 꿈이 아닌 true' (no longer a dream but true), signifies a moment of realization and fulfillment, where dreams finally become reality.
