Navigating Fame and Success in 'Bermuda Triangle' by Zico
Zico's 'Bermuda Triangle' is a powerful exploration of the complexities and contradictions of fame and success. The song opens with a sense of boredom towards material wealth, symbolized by the Rolex watch, and quickly transitions into a declaration of dominance in the music industry. The repeated refrain 'Don’t let’em in let’em in, Get out my zone' suggests a protective stance against external influences and a desire to maintain control over one's creative space.
The lyrics delve into the pressures and scrutiny that come with being in the public eye. Zico references the media's obsession with his every move and the constant need to prove oneself. The line '불과 몇 년 후 자연스레 장악한 Media' highlights how quickly he has risen to prominence, while '내 일거수일투족은 세간의 집중' underscores the intense focus on his actions. This scrutiny is likened to a 'Bermuda Triangle,' a place of mystery and danger where things can easily go awry.
Zico also addresses the competitive nature of the industry and the envy that success can breed. He speaks to the 'fakke bishes' trying to emulate him and the '시비가 목적인 Review나 interview,' indicating that not all attention is positive. Despite these challenges, Zico remains confident in his abilities and success, as evidenced by lines like 'I'm sure of my success' and 'Get money get famous, Yeah it’s our times.' The song ultimately portrays a complex relationship with fame, where the rewards are great but the risks and pressures are equally significant.
