DON QUIXOTE

SEVENTEEN's 'DON QUIXOTE' is a song that encapsulates the spirit of pursuing one's dreams and passions, regardless of the judgment and skepticism from others. The lyrics draw a parallel between the narrator's experiences and the story of Don Quixote, the famous literary character from Miguel de Cervantes' novel, who is known for his idealism and fighting for his beliefs, even when they seem delusional to others. The song's chorus, 'Feeling like Don Quixote,' suggests a connection with the character's relentless pursuit of his dreams, despite being perceived as crazy.

The song addresses the theme of self-belief and determination. The lines 'It ain’t real, it ain’t real / 겁먹지 않아 / It’s real, it’s real' reflect the inner conflict between what society deems as reality and what the individual believes to be true. SEVENTEEN encourages listeners to embrace their passions and to live boldly, even if it means facing ridicule or being misunderstood. The repeated phrase '내 모든 걸 불태운 밤' which translates to 'the night I burned everything of mine,' symbolizes a moment of complete dedication and the willingness to risk everything for one's aspirations.

The song's energetic and defiant tone is characteristic of SEVENTEEN's style, which often includes themes of youth, passion, and self-expression. 'DON QUIXOTE' serves as an anthem for those who dare to dream big and refuse to be constrained by the fears and doubts of the world around them. It's a call to action to live authentically and to pursue one's goals with the same fervor as the legendary Don Quixote himself.
