Twenty

STAYC's song 'Twenty' is a vibrant anthem celebrating the exuberance and freedom of youth. The lyrics convey a sense of self-assurance and excitement that comes with being twenty years old. The song opens with an invitation to look up at the sky and find the singer, shining brightly like a 'so lovely light.' This metaphor suggests a newfound confidence and a desire to be seen and appreciated for who they truly are.

The chorus emphasizes the carefree and adventurous spirit of being twenty. Lines like '두렵지 않아, wild and free' (I'm not afraid, wild and free) and 'You know that I'm twenty (and I love it)' highlight the joy and liberation that come with this age. The repetition of 'twenty, twenty, twenty' reinforces the significance of this milestone, making it clear that the singer is embracing this period of their life with open arms.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of breaking the rules and not being afraid to stand out. The lyrics '가끔은 breakin' the rules' (Sometimes breaking the rules) and '아무도 날 몰라 가끔 아는 척만 하곤 해' (No one knows me, sometimes they just pretend) reflect a desire to defy expectations and be true to oneself. The song encourages listeners to hold on tight and enjoy the journey, even if the path ahead is uncertain. This message of self-discovery and confidence resonates deeply with anyone navigating the complexities of young adulthood.
