Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
폰은 뒤집어 지금 이 순간 말고는 없어
술잔을 채워 온 몸을 적셔
Drinking this potion 널 씻어 내고 싶어서
'Cause we're young and wild
잠들긴 너무 일러 내일은 머니까
Pour it up, pour it up
I'm gone be alright
멈추긴 너무 일러 눈물도 괜찮아
Pour it up, pour it up
네 생각은 이 밤이 마지막
달리자 한잔 더 pour it up, pour it up
시간이 약인 건 거짓말 답은 이 광란 속에 있어
Pour it up, that potion
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
너의 목소리 웃음 소리
계속 맴돌아서 맨 정신으론 못 견딘 밤들
미칠 까봐 미쳐 본다
난 오늘도 또 달린다 널 벗어 나고 싶어서
'Cause we're young and wild
잠들긴 너무 일러 내일은 머니까
Pour it up, pour it up
I'm gone be alright멈추긴 너무 일러 눈물도 괜찮아
Pour it up, pour it up
네 생각은 이 밤이 마지막
달리자 한잔 더 pour it up, pour it up
시간이 약인 건 거짓말 답은 이 광란 속에 있어
Pour it up, that potion
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
'Cause we're young and wild 너와 나 지금 이순간을 들이켜
지겨워 난 오늘밤 다시 술 잔을 부딪혀 pour it up
아찔하게 쳐다보지 또 pour it up, yeah we need to talk
머릿속을 괴롭히는 건 다 태워 불같이
잔을 들이킨 후 내 목처럼 that's cool
미쳐 오늘밤은 drink 취해 분위기와 빛
속으로 forget about it 깨고 나면 전부 꿈일거야 꿈
네 생각은 이 밤이 마지막
달리자 한잔 더 pour it up, pour it up
시간이 약인 건 거짓말 답은 이 광란 속에 있어
Pour it up, that potion
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
The lyrics of "Potion" by Eric Nam delve into the themes of youth, rebellion, and the pursuit of temporary escape or release from reality. The song sets the scene of a wild and carefree night, where the singer is eager to drown out their thoughts and feelings with alcohol, immersing themselves in the moment and seeking to wash away their emotions with the intoxicating "potion."
The opening lines suggest a desire to amplify the volume, lower the lights, and immerse oneself in the present moment, fueled by the emptiness of the phone and the desire to fill the body with the numbing effects of alcohol. The repetition of the phrase "Pour it up" emphasizes the act of indulging in this escapism, as if seeking to distract oneself from the burdens of reality.
The chorus reflects a sense of reckless abandon and a refusal to dwell on the uncertainties of tomorrow or the pain of tears shed. There is a defiant declaration of being able to handle whatever comes their way, even if it means losing control in the pursuit of liberation from their inner struggles.
The repeated refrain "Pour it up, that potion" highlights the symbolic nature of alcohol as a potion that offers a temporary solace from the overwhelming thoughts and emotions that plague the singer. The woozy, hypnotic quality of the song's melody mirrors the intoxicated state of mind that the singer seeks to embrace in order to escape their inner turmoil and embrace the fleeting euphoria of the moment. Ultimately, "Potion" captures the ambivalence of seeking solace in temporary pleasures while acknowledging the inevitable return to reality once the effects wear off.
