Eyes, Nose, Lips (feat. Taeyang)

The song "Eyes, Nose, Lips" by Tablo, featuring Taeyang, is a poignant exploration of the pain and lingering attachment that follows a profound heartbreak. The lyrics convey a deep sense of loss and betrayal, with the speaker feeling paralyzed by the departure of a loved one. The visceral imagery of being left with no cure or rehabilitation emphasizes the depth of the emotional wound inflicted by the breakup. The reference to the other person as a 'victor' in a pageant suggests a relationship that has ended in a one-sided manner, leaving the speaker to deal with the aftermath of a 'catastrophe.'

The chorus of the song focuses on the physical features of the loved one – the eyes, nose, and lips – and how each of these features is associated with memories that are both precious and painful. The desire for these memories to fade to black indicates a wish to move on from the pain, but the recurring nightmares show that the speaker is haunted by the past. The song's emotional intensity is heightened by the contrast between the cherished moments shared and the current state of suffering and longing.

The bridge of the song introduces a sense of anger and a desire for emotional detachment. The speaker wants to sever the connection between heart, soul, and mind, indicating a need to protect oneself from further pain. The line 'I wish you hell' starkly contrasts with the earlier sentimentality, revealing a complex mix of emotions that includes not just sadness and nostalgia, but also resentment and a desire for the other person to experience the same torment. Taeyang's contribution to the song reinforces the theme of finality and the wish to never encounter the source of pain again, underscoring the desire for closure.
