Thumping

The song 'Thumping' by She Was Pretty captures the essence of a person who is deeply in love and is overwhelmed by the thoughts and presence of their beloved. The lyrics open with the singer waking up in the morning with their lover's face being the first thing that comes to mind. This indicates a deep infatuation, where the lover's image is so ingrained in the singer's thoughts that it's the first thing they think of each day. The reflection in the mirror seems imperfect ('mossaenggyeossne'), suggesting that the singer feels unworthy of their beloved's affection.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'kungkungkung' mimicking the sound of a beating heart, emphasizes the physical and emotional response the singer has when thinking about their love. The heart's 'thumping' is likened to beautiful music ('meosjin eumak gata'), illustrating how love can transform ordinary experiences into something extraordinary. The singer expresses a desire to protect and cherish their love, promising to be there for them and to love them as vast as the sky and the earth ('jeo haneul ttangmankeum saranghae').

The song also uses sweet imagery, comparing the lover's heart to soft cotton candy and clouds, which conveys a sense of lightness and joy that love brings. The singer's commitment is further emphasized towards the end of the song, where they vow to hold their beloved, to love them forever, and to be their protector. 'Thumping' is a celebration of love's power to uplift, to fill one's thoughts completely, and to commit wholeheartedly to another person.
