WANT

TAEMIN's song 'WANT' delves into the intoxicating nature of desire and temptation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an irresistible allure that consumes both body and soul. From the very first line, '마신 순간 목이 타는 듯해 불완전해' (The moment I drink, my throat feels like it's burning, it's incomplete), the song sets the stage for a journey through the intense and often overwhelming sensations of wanting something deeply. This burning desire is likened to a fire that grows stronger, making the listener crave more.

The repeated use of the word 'Hot' throughout the song emphasizes the intensity and heat of this desire. TAEMIN describes how this feeling slowly takes over, making one '더 천천히 너를 애태우게 할' (burn slowly) and '한계 없이 더욱 빠져들고 싶게 할' (want to fall deeper without limits). The metaphor of the 'forbidden apple' further adds to the theme of temptation, suggesting that what is desired is both sweet and dangerous. This duality of pleasure and risk is a common theme in many of TAEMIN's works, reflecting his ability to blend sensuality with a sense of mystery.

The song also touches on the idea of self-discovery and awakening. Lines like 'I’m your eyes 다른 눈 뜨게 할' (I'm your eyes, will open different eyes) and '믿어봐 네 안의 self-control' (Believe in your self-control) suggest that giving in to desire can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself. This aligns with TAEMIN's artistic persona, which often explores themes of identity, transformation, and the complexities of human emotions. 'WANT' is not just a song about desire; it's a narrative about the power of temptation and the profound impact it can have on one's inner world.
