MANIAC
VIVIZ Lyrics

In the song "MANIAC" by VIVIZ, the lyrics convey the intense and chaotic nature of a love relationship. The opening lines, "힘껏 내팽개친 roses / 말론 안 통하지 역시 어쩜 이리 안 변해," suggest that the singer has tried to let go of this love, symbolized by roses, but it seems that nothing has changed. The idea of "인정 같은 소린 됐고 / 이쯤에서 끝내 let go 인내심도 out of space (space)" emphasizes the need to finally let go and move on.

The following section, "얼룩지는 red carpet / 그렇게 또 fade away / 치워줘 scarred face / 끝까지 신경 쓰여 oh," reflects the pain and scars caused by this relationship. The red carpet, which is becoming stained, symbolizes the glamorous and luxurious facade of the relationship, which is now fading away. The mention of the scarred face represents the emotional damage caused, creating a constant concern and worry.

The repeated phrase "This love is maniac, maniac, maniac / But I can't killin' it, killin' it, killin' it" expresses the singer's realization that this love is intense and chaotic, but they find it difficult to let go or end it. The word "maniac" is used to emphasize the extreme nature of the love.

The lines "자극적 이끌림 / 잔인해진 orbit / 지겨운 lovephobic" further emphasize the thrilling and addictive aspect of the relationship. The mention of the orbit becoming cruel suggests that it has become a vicious cycle that is hard to escape. The idea of being "lovephobic" implies weariness and boredom with love in general, but the singer acknowledges that this current relationship is enjoyable and exciting.

The section "얼음처럼 날 선 말 부서질 듯 던져 막" portrays the impact of the partner's words, as if they can break the singer's heart like ice. The mention of the heart being pierced and then melted implies the emotional intensity that the singer experiences. The lyrics also mention the "magnet" that flips everything upside down, suggesting a volatile and unpredictable dynamic in the relationship.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of unresolved conflict and confusion. The lyrics mention a zero-sum game with no answers, a delayed end, and a constant feeling of being lost. The singer acknowledges that this love is "maniac," but they cannot completely let go of it.

In the later part of the song, there is a realization that the love they have experienced is beyond comprehension. This leads to acceptance, as the singer declares, "It's maniac, maniac, maniac / And I'm okay with it, okay with it, okay with it." This acceptance and understanding of the complexity of the relationship pave the way for the idea that they have enjoyed and embraced this love, however chaotic and unpredictable it may be.

The repeating phrase "Ooh-ooh-ooh" towards the end of the song signifies a mixture of emotions and the sense of things falling apart. The final lines, "never ever / it's coming down, it's coming down," suggest that the relationship is reaching its breaking point, but the word "maniac" is still repeated, signifying the lasting impact and intensity of the love experienced.
