Destiny

Seo Gi's song 'Destiny' delves deep into the themes of love, fate, and the fear of loss. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of a person who has experienced the pain of causing hurt to a loved one and is now determined to never let it happen again. The repeated promise of not causing pain '다시는 그렇게 널 아프게 하진 않아' (I won't hurt you like that again) underscores a deep sense of regret and a commitment to protect the loved one from further sorrow. This commitment is so strong that the narrator is willing to surrender to fate, trusting that destiny will allow them to be together if it is meant to be.

The song also explores the transformative power of love. The narrator describes how love has brought them back to life, '오래 멈춰 있던 나를 다시 살게 해준 너' (You made me live again after being stagnant for so long). This line suggests that the narrator had been emotionally dormant until this love reignited their passion and zest for life. The fear of losing this newfound love is palpable, as expressed in the lines '난 지금 겁이 나 언젠가 네가 사라져버릴까 봐' (I'm scared right now, afraid that you might disappear someday). This fear adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, making the emotions conveyed even more relatable and heartfelt.

The concept of fate and destiny is a recurring motif throughout the song. The narrator is willing to entrust their future to destiny, hoping that a single moment of serendipity will allow them to be with their loved one. The lyrics '단 한 번 우연이 너를 허락한다면 운명 속에 날 맡길게' (If fate allows me just one chance, I will entrust myself to destiny) encapsulate this sentiment perfectly. This surrender to fate highlights the narrator's belief in a higher power guiding their love story, adding a sense of mysticism and inevitability to their relationship.
