Chill Kill
Red Velvet Lyrics

The lyrics to "Chill Kill" by Red Velvet convey a sense of sudden and overwhelming excitement and intensity in a previously peaceful and calm world. The phrase "어디서 왔니 홀연히" ("Where did you come from suddenly") reflects this surprise and abruptness. The arrival of something as electrifying as "Chill kill" is compared to the power and thrill of thunder. The lyrics suggest that this exhilarating sensation drives one to madness. The line "달콤해진 오류 불완전의 찬미" ("The praise of the sweetened error, the incomplete") implies that even though there may be imperfections, they are embraced and celebrated. The lyrics also express a possessive love, claiming "너무 쉬운 넌 내 거라" ("You, who is so easy, are mine"). The phrase "맘대로 껴안고 멋대로 보냈어" ("I held you and let you be as you pleased") reveals a carefree and nonchalant attitude towards the relationship.

The desire to see the person again and the regret of not being able to do so are expressed with the lines "다시 네가 보고 싶어 죽도록 후회하잖아" ("I want to see you again, I regret it to death"). Despite knowing that it may hurt, there is an insistence on finding a perfect soul that matches the individual. The longing to hold onto the person again is questioned with the inquiry "다시 널 붙잡을 수 있을까?" ("Can I hold onto you again?"). The chorus encourages not thinking about the future and focuses on the present moment. The line "What a chill kill, I know you will, bring me lightning like a winner" suggests that the intense feeling is worth the risk. The lyrics convey hope for a happy ending, as expressed with "여기서 널 기다려 happy ending으로" ("I'll wait for you here for a happy ending").

The lyrics reflect the determination to guide the person through challenging and harsh nights. The line "긴 밤 등대를 켜 네가 길 잃지 않게" ("Turn on the lighthouse during the long night so you never lose your way") signifies a support system to prevent them from getting lost. The lyrics convey a sense of self-doubt, questioning why the person was valued so highly. The line "왜 그리 잘했니? 내가 자격 있니?" ("Why did you do so well? Am I worthy?") reveals a lack of confidence and a fear of losing the person. However, there is a plea for them to not run away and instead look into each other's eyes, as expressed with the line "눈을 맞춰줬잖아 (don't run away)".

The song presents a narrative of change and growth. The line "거칠고 서툰 nights were young 차갑던 밤을 데우자" ("Let's warm up the cold nights that were rough and clumsy when we were young") suggests a desire to overcome the difficulties and embrace transformation. The lyrics present an acceptance that both parties have changed and poses the question "널 한 번 더 안을 수 있을까?" ("Can I embrace you once more?"). The chorus reiterates not to think about the future and instead focus on the present moment. The lines "Say, say, say Now, are you ready, ready?" convey a sense of anticipation and readiness for what lies ahead.

The lyrics depict a love that brings both joy and sorrow. The phrase "너 때문에 울지 않아" ("Because of you, I don't cry") suggests that despite the challenges, the love brings happiness. The line "너 때문에 웃을 수밖에 없던 거야" ("Because of you, I could only smile") expresses a sense of inevitability and utmost positivity. The lyrics mention a love that is needed till the end of time, symbolized by the setting sun. The chorus returns to the theme of not thinking about tomorrow and letting go of sorrow.

Overall, "Chill Kill" by Red Velvet explores themes of sudden intensity and change in a previously tranquil world, possessive love, longing, self-doubt, growth, and the juxtaposition of joy and sorrow within a relationship.
