My analysation on the lyrics of trauma:
Venron: he is a mixed, and probably faced racism, which is why he had no friends. In his imagination he had a lot of friends but his imagination is just imagination but vernon wished it wouldve been real life.
S.Coups: he talks about debt but in my opinion the debt he is talking about is the debt of returning all the love of his fans cause his part later talks about his idol life as well. He is talking about his stage fright as well.
Wonwoo: His part is deep. He is talking about how hard he found to live on. And that since he is quiet, he is used to being the “ forgotten “ member.
Mingyu: His trauma is singing. A “ fan “ once told mingyu that he cant sing and he lived with that trauma. Thats why he is now fighting it and is the only one singing

SEVENTEEN - TRAUMA (English Translation) Lyrics
[Chorus: Mingyu]
I'm in trauma, it's got me singing (Yeah, yeah)
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing (Oh, yeah)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, why can't I forget
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah
[Verse 1: Vernon]
Trauma got me bad, bad
I dropped out of school in 8th grade
Basically had no friends (Yeah, yeah)
Boxed in, boxed in my own world (Yeah, yeah)
Stuck in my fantasy like (Woah)
Dreaming it to be real life (Woah)
I waited without thinking but okay I realize
I'll just be alone like this I don't know what to do (What to do, what to do) except for this
Stuffing ear with earphone with the volume increase
I don't wanna be alone, 'cause I don't want to forget
I'ma sing this song anybody listening?
[Pre-Chorus: S.COUPS]
I'm barеly breathing like I forgot how
It's too hard for me, to bе lenient with myself
Feels like debt all the light on me
The stage is getting bigger
But the place in my heart is so small
[Chorus: Mingyu]
I'm in trauma, it's got me singing (Yeah, yeah)
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing (Oh, yeah)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, why can't I forget
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah
Now it's got me singing, singing, singing
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah (Brr, brr)
[Verse 2: Wonwoo]
Accustomed to being forgotten
That's my immaturity
Trauma arising from my doubts
What is the reason I'm alive?
Like a mudfish, some parts
Unfortunately make me miserable, I just wanna sing
Or else I'll be more trapped in my trauma
My mind has become impoverished
Deeper and deeper, I can't even find myself
Where is the end to this trauma?
I don’t even know, I need a hand to hold
[Pre-Chorus: S.COUPS]
I'm barely breathing like I forgot how
It's too hard for me to be lenient with myself
Feels like debt all the light on me
The stage is getting bigger
But the place in my heart is so small
[Chorus: Mingyu]
I'm in trauma, it's got me singing (Yeah, yeah)
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing (Oh, yeah)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, why can't I forget
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah
Now it's got me singing, singing, singing
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah (Brr, brr)
[Bridge: S.COUPS]
I slowly sink, yeah
The songs will decrease, too
Still I want to sing, yeah
Anyone is fine, please save me
Or else you can come back to me
[Chorus: Mingyu]
Now it's got me singing, singing, singing
Stuck in trauma I just wanna sing
That's my trauma, yeah, my trauma, yeah, yeah

@Mikaela_16
S.COUPS!!!?? His voice + flow + delivery?? I'm obsessed. I love how the boys are way more than their appearances and have so much depth in the characters and talent.
MINGYU'S VOICE. Do I even have to say anything? The shock when I found out the rapper Mingyu sang this. The vocals and the expressions ...
WONWOO'S RAPPING OMG. The flow the voice the charisma the expressions. I'm dead.
VERNON'S RAP. Addictive and flowy as hell. Love it so damn much
I'm going to be looping this for quite some time for sure <3 SVT proving to us that we can't pick biases

Updated Theory
Vernons Trauma: His is heavily based around being an outsider so maybe something to do with being a halfer. He is afraid of being lonely/forgotten yet he’s boxed in and away from daily life because of the bullying he endured by his school, despite his efforts to be heard. Now he is truly alone and he wonders whether he fits in or not. The wind and drifting sand probably resemble some kind of unstable footing (from the replies) and it can be interpreted into him being unable to fit into Korean norms, which was the cause of why he dropped out from high school. He tried to dream of a fantasy world that wasn’t just him alone and began to believe them until he would wake up, not exactly why he is a very vivid daydreamer but could be. Also coming from the lyrics, it seems he quenched his sadness with music, as the lyrics go ‘Clogging my ear by stuffing earphones with the volume high’ once he realized his reality of being alone. That seems to heavily resemble being in his own space of mind and away from the real world.
Mingyu’s: His lyrics depicted singing ALOT so I’m guessing since there was a time some people bashed him for his singing. Thats his trauma. His part is very vague however.
Summary: he longs to sing his heart out but is scared of the backlash that will come with it. This is the rope bounding him from breaking free and that is why there is so much ropes in his room.
Wonwoo: This one really saddens me. The first lyric is ‘I’m used to being forgotten’ and I believe it points back to both predebut and the time Wonwoo became sick and went on a hiatus which lasted a very long time. He got hate for that when he got sick AGAIN around Oh My era and he eventually started to faded himself out, remaining quiet and in the back. The second line says ‘My immaturity, my doubts, where inside rises the trauma’. I can make a wild guess that the ‘immaturity’ and ‘digging a hole for myself’’ parts goes back to where he received hate for commenting something rude on (i thing snsd’s twitter or smt) when he was around 11. He already apologized multiple times but Knets wouldn’t let it go, therefore his immaturity when younger. ‘My doubts’ probably refers to the time he got sick and began to fade. His doubts and thoughts lead him to that decision. His lines sound very depressive, especially ‘what in the world is my reason for living’ which could mean his thoughts, plus the hate he received, led him to believing that he wasn’t needed, that he was just a burden. Mental fatigue has weighed him down like a leech (mentioned in lyrics and probably why he was tied to the beam) and he tries to find a coping method for it; rapping. He speaks his emotions with a mike and lyrics, and it relieves him, because if he doesn’t, he might not make it. That’s where true Carats, family and Seventeen(also family) come in. In one of his last lyrics ‘Digging a hole for myself, deeper and deeper until I can’t even find my own self. I need a hand to hold onto’ may mean that eventually (if he was hopefully talking about the past) someone stepped in and helped him through that phase, like where he started to regain his confidence in his body and himself around clap era.
Summary: The fear and acceptance of isolation and being forgotten. Though he wishes for a breakthrough, his thoughts hold him in the firm belief that no one is there for him, and that he is not worth being remembered.
Seungcheol: Recently, S.Coups went on hiatus due to anxiety. Anxiety is heavily hinted in his lyric and the reason could be debt and stage fright. He’s stuck in the future, thinking of what his tomorrow is because the shark loans could be standing at his door any hour. He’s drowning in worry, yet he still wants to sing and rap. Performing was one of his joys, but it soon became a very anxious thing, why? We don’t know.
Summary: the reason why he is in a box is because that depicts his anxiety and worries caging in on him and therefore trapping him with near no escape. He wants to get out, he wants to be able to sing without a worry, but he can’t, therefore he yearns for someone to save him for it. Or... at least come inside his lonely box.
Again, these aren’t really accurate so feel free to share some theories.
The tears bruh. ☹️

Vernon is more than just a pretty face, more than a halfie. He's produces SVT songs too, next to Woozi. And he's an amazing rapper, dancer, big brother, son. I wish people would start appreciating him for his talents and personality more than his looks.
