Overcoming Fear with Love: Seungmin's 'Phobia'
Seungmin, a member of the South Korean boy group Stray Kids, presents a song titled 'Phobia' that delves into the theme of overcoming fear through the power of a significant connection, possibly love. The lyrics suggest a journey of pursuing a cherished one, likened to a star, through darkness and uncertainty. The repeated dreams and the emptiness felt in their absence underscore the depth of the narrator's longing.
The chorus, 'It was impossible / But you make it possible,' emphasizes the transformative effect this person has on the narrator's life, turning what seemed unattainable into reality. Despite exhaustion and the potential for collapse, the narrator's determination is unwavering, driven by the connection to the person they are reaching for. This resolve is so strong that it eradicates any sense of phobia, symbolizing the fears and doubts that might have held them back.
The song culminates in a declaration of clarity and courage. The reason to protect and stay committed to this person becomes crystal clear, and the narrator proclaims they are 'Not scared anymore.' This evolution from fear to fearlessness illustrates the song's central message: the power of love or a profound bond can conquer even the deepest fears, leading to a destiny that once seemed impossible to reach.
