The Transformative Power of Love in 'Vermilion'

In 'Vermilion,' WENDY of Red Velvet explores the profound and transformative power of love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of how love can change one's perspective and bring a sense of bravery and renewal. The deep night, which might usually be overwhelming, becomes bearable with the comforting presence of a loved one. This presence is so powerful that it can clear away all worries and fears, symbolized by the line '포근했던 너의 색을 빌리어 그 너머로 빼곡한 걱정 다 전부 비울래' (Borrowing your warm color, I want to empty all the worries beyond it).

The recurring theme of colors in the song is particularly significant. WENDY sings about how her love is painted in 'sky blue,' a color often associated with calmness and serenity. As the relationship deepens, this color blends and turns into 'vermilion,' a vibrant and passionate hue. This transformation signifies the intensity and depth of her feelings, as well as the new perspectives and experiences that love brings into her life. The phrase 'All colors turn vermilion' emphasizes that love has the power to change everything, infusing life with warmth and vibrancy.

The song also touches on the idea of mutual support and protection in a relationship. WENDY expresses a desire to protect her loved one, as seen in the lines '뜨겁고 찬란한 네 눈빛 지켜주고 싶어 내 품 안에서' (I want to protect your hot and brilliant eyes in my arms). This protective instinct further highlights the depth of her emotional connection. The imagery of a rainbow appearing after the rain symbolizes hope and beauty emerging from difficult times, reinforcing the song's message that love can bring light and color to even the darkest moments.

'Vermilion' is a beautiful and poetic exploration of love's transformative power. Through its rich imagery and emotional depth, the song captures the essence of how love can change one's world, making it more vibrant and full of new possibilities.
