Embracing Forbidden Desires: The Roar of Liberation

The song 'ROAR' by THE BOYZ delves into the themes of forbidden desires, rebellion, and the quest for freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who refuses to be confined by societal norms and expectations. The opening lines, 'Don’t call me like that / 악이란 걸 누가 정해,' challenge the conventional definitions of good and evil, suggesting that these concepts are subjective and imposed by society. The protagonist dreams of forbidden things and yearns for freedom, likening themselves to an animal driven by raw instincts.

The chorus, '내 것 되리라 / 타락한 천사라 / 불리운 이름과 / 낙원을 등진 채 / 이제야 내가 자유로워졌어,' reveals a transformation. The protagonist embraces their identity as a 'fallen angel' who has turned their back on paradise to achieve true freedom. This metaphor of a fallen angel signifies a break from divine or societal expectations, choosing instead to follow their own path, even if it means being labeled as 'fallen' or 'corrupt.' The repeated phrase 'Keep it coming like that roar' symbolizes the unstoppable force of their desires and the power of their newfound freedom.

The song also touches on the idea of love and desire as primal and unstoppable forces. Lines like '본능이라고 말해 / 다른 이유는 없는데 / Just wanna feel loved 그것뿐' emphasize that the protagonist's actions are driven by a fundamental need for love and acceptance. This raw, unfiltered desire is portrayed as something that cannot be tamed or suppressed, even if it leads to madness or downfall. The song's powerful imagery and metaphors create a compelling narrative about embracing one's true self, regardless of the consequences.
