The lyrics to Bang Yongguk's song "Mine" are a reflection of the artist's inner turmoil and the uncertainty of his feelings towards his love interest. The opening line, "Salanghandaneun geu mal-i", means "I love you", but the following line, "Eolyeowoss-eossna bwa manh-i", suggests that expressing those feelings has proven to be difficult or perhaps even impossible. He wonders if the person he loves thinks about him as much as he thinks about her. The line, "Geulleonde neol mannan ihulo salang-i mwonji al-ass-eo DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME?" is a direct question to his love interest.
Bang Yongguk acknowledges that their love can be hidden, as he says, "Lolleokoseuteoneun antado dwae neo hanamyeon chungbunhi jjalishae". The phrase means that even though they may not show their love to the outside world, it is still enough for them to feel fulfilled. The chorus, "IT'S ALL RIGHT 2X IT'S ALL RIGHT BABAY, Nan neoman, nan neoman, neoman bol su issji." suggests that he believes he can survive just by knowing she exists, and he can be content just seeing her.
Overall, "Mine" is a poignant portrayal of the complexities and struggles of love, isolation, and the yearning for connection.
