On And On

VIXX's song 'On And On' delves into the tumultuous emotions of a toxic relationship that seems to perpetuate an endless cycle of pain and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is caught in a relentless loop of emotional turmoil, unable to break free from the grip of a lover who continuously hurts and abandons them. The repeated phrase 'Can't let go. She does it on and on and on' underscores the inescapable nature of this suffering, highlighting the protagonist's helplessness and the lover's indifference.

The song employs powerful metaphors and imagery to convey the depth of the protagonist's despair. References to the moonlight and changing glances symbolize the fleeting and deceptive nature of the lover's affection. The protagonist's plea, '나한테 왜 이러는데 (Why are you doing this to me),' coupled with their readiness to '달릴 준비가 돼 있어 (be ready to run),' illustrates a desperate willingness to endure the pain in hopes of rekindling the relationship, despite knowing it is harmful.

The chorus, with its haunting repetition and the line 'I need therapy, lalalalala therapy,' suggests a recognition of the need for healing and escape from this destructive pattern. However, the protagonist remains trapped, as indicated by their continued readiness to '달릴 준비가 돼 있어 (be ready to run).' This juxtaposition of awareness and entrapment highlights the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of breaking free from toxic relationships. VIXX's 'On And On' is a poignant exploration of love, pain, and the struggle for self-liberation, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced the agony of unrequited or harmful love.
