Lie Again

SEVENTEEN's song 'Lie Again' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics express a deep sense of disillusionment and heartbreak, as the narrator grapples with the painful reality that their love has faded. The repeated phrase 'nega silheo' (I hate you) underscores the intensity of their feelings, highlighting the shift from love to resentment. This transition is further emphasized by the plea to 'go back to where you were,' indicating a desire to return to a time before the relationship soured.

The song's chorus, 'So nal saranghaji marayo' (So don't love me), reveals the narrator's wish to avoid further pain. They acknowledge that continuing the relationship would only lead to more wounds, suggesting a sense of self-preservation. The lyrics 'sogajwo da eotteon marideun' (lie to me, whatever you say) and 'tto geojismareul hae' (lie again) reflect a desperate attempt to escape the harsh truths of their situation. This repetition of lies symbolizes the struggle to maintain a facade, even when the reality is too painful to bear.

SEVENTEEN's poignant lyrics also touch on the themes of regret and longing. The lines 'saranghaeseo saranghandaneun mari / bujokhaeseo neol bonaesseo' (I loved you, but it wasn't enough, so I let you go) convey a deep sense of inadequacy and sorrow. The narrator is caught in a cycle of wanting to hold on and needing to let go, which is a common experience in many relationships. The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by its melancholic melody, making 'Lie Again' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the lies we tell ourselves to cope with heartache.
