Love Is Lonely

NMIXX's song "Love Is Lonely" delves into the complex and often paradoxical nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who have found each other after a long period of wandering and uncertainty. The repeated phrase "love is lonely" underscores the idea that love, while fulfilling, can also be a source of profound loneliness when the loved one is absent. This duality is a central theme, highlighting the emotional highs and lows that come with deep romantic connections.

The song's imagery, such as "떠도는 lights" (wandering lights) and "저 먼 별빛, 낯선 orbit" (distant starlight, unfamiliar orbit), evokes a sense of cosmic vastness and isolation. Yet, within this vastness, the presence of the loved one brings comfort and meaning. The lyrics suggest that love can make even the most daunting and lonely experiences bearable. The line "혼자서는 아득한 blue" (alone, it's a distant blue) captures the essence of this sentiment, emphasizing that love transforms loneliness into something more manageable and even beautiful.

NMIXX also touches on the idea of being "hopeless romantics," acknowledging the inherent risks and uncertainties in love. Despite these challenges, the song conveys a sense of happiness and fulfillment that comes from being with the right person. The willingness to embrace vulnerability and uncertainty for the sake of love is a recurring theme, as seen in lines like "그 불안함을 안아줘" (embrace that anxiety). This acceptance of love's complexities and contradictions makes "Love Is Lonely" a poignant exploration of the human condition, resonating with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of love.
