The metaphor of Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings and transitions, is used to represent the dual nature of the relationship. The song begins with the members singing about how they are trying their best to hold on to each other, even though one of them is hurting the other. There is a sense of tension and sadness in the lyrics as they describe the pain they are experiencing.


The chorus reveals that despite everything, they still love each other and that the tears shed are not because they think their partner is a "bad girl," but because they want to fix the relationship. The bridge reveals their innermost thoughts and feelings, with each member expressing their desires to be with their partner, and their sadness at the prospect of losing them. They plead with their partner to stay and work through the difficulties together.


Overall, JANUS is a powerful song about the duality of relationships and the pain that can come with them. It is a song that speaks to anyone who has been in a difficult relationship and was willing to do anything to make it work.
