God of Music (음악의 신)
SEVENTEEN
Celebrating the Universal Language of Music with SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN's 'God of Music (음악의 신)' is a vibrant homage to the power and universality of music. The lyrics express a deep gratitude towards the hypothetical 'god of music,' reflecting the members' appreciation for the art form that transcends language and cultural barriers. The song begins with a desire to embrace this deity, thanking them for the gift of music that connects people worldwide.
The song emphasizes music as a 'common language' that doesn't require understanding of specific words or phrases to be enjoyed. It suggests that music can make strangers feel like friends, and that it allows for communication beyond conventional means. The lyrics playfully incorporate onomatopoeic sounds ('쿵 치 팍 치') that mimic musical beats, reinforcing the idea that music is made up of universal sounds that everyone can relate to. SEVENTEEN also touches on the idea that music is an essential part of life, akin to breathing, and encourages everyone to 'keep inhaling' the music without fear.
The chorus of the song is a call to action to gather every note and sing and dance, highlighting the joy and happiness that music brings. SEVENTEEN conveys the message that even the smallest sounds, like the footsteps of ants, contribute to the harmony of life. The song concludes with a rallying cry for the whole world to join in a chorus, symbolizing the unity and shared happiness that music can create. 'God of Music' is not just a song but a celebration of the art that defines and enriches human experience.
