Trivia: Seesaw

SUGA, a member of the global sensation BTS, is known for his introspective and often deeply personal lyrics. In 'Trivia: Seesaw,' he uses the metaphor of a seesaw to describe the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. The seesaw represents the balance of emotions and effort between two people, which can often be uneven and lead to a cycle of exhaustion and dissatisfaction.

The song begins with a reflection on the initial joy of the relationship, but quickly moves to the realization that both parties have become tired of the constant emotional expenditure. SUGA describes the relationship as a repetitive game, where the excitement has turned into weariness. The seesaw game is a metaphor for the power dynamics in the relationship, where one person's emotional weight can tip the balance, causing the other to feel either neglected or overburdened. The lyrics suggest a longing for equality and mutual understanding, which seems to have been lost in the struggle to maintain the relationship.

As the song progresses, SUGA contemplates the futility of continuing this seesaw game. He acknowledges the human tendency to avoid being the 'bad guy' and the difficulty of making the decision to end things. The repeated line 'All right, 반복된 시소게임' ('All right, repetitive seesaw game') signifies a readiness to finally stop the cycle and move on. The song concludes with the image of walking alone on the seesaw, a powerful symbol of independence and the acceptance of the end of the relationship. 'Trivia: Seesaw' is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the courage it takes to seek personal balance and happiness.
