love you twice (피어나도록)

The song 'love you twice (피어나도록)' by HUH YUNJIN of LE SSERAFIM explores themes of self-perception, the desire for acceptance, and the struggle with self-worth. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is outwardly perfect and composed, with a spotless bedroom and a lifestyle that seems to be in perfect order. This person is described as funny, mysterious, and always in touch, suggesting an ideal that many strive to achieve.

However, the song delves deeper into the insecurities that lie beneath this facade. The narrator wonders if they are seen as desirable or if they are compared unfavorably to someone more like marble, a metaphor for someone perceived as more valuable or perfect. The repeated line 'I wanna be her' reveals a longing to embody this idealized version of a person who can handle pain without showing it and who provides comfort and love effortlessly. The lyrics also touch on the fear of change and the hope that the love they have will remain constant despite the passing of time and the changing of seasons.

The Korean verses add another layer to the song, expressing anxiety and the pressure of maintaining a perfect image, especially in the spotlight. The narrator asks for reassurance that they will still shine even if they fade, seeking validation and love. The song ultimately is a plea for acceptance and the affirmation of self-worth, with the narrator promising to say 'I love you twice' as a symbol of their commitment and desire to be enough for their loved one.
