Much about Cifika and her career has happened swiftly. She decided to learn how to create music and, inspired by Flume, Washed Out, James Blake and Björk, she picked up her computer and began producing electronic music. Just a handful of years later, she has released two EPs and become a rising star in South Korea's tiny electronic scene.
Cifika weaves atmospheric electro-pop with touches of R&B and techno with seamless ease. The draw of electronica for Cifika is its ephemeral nature, which reminds her of feelings, which are similarly invisible.

CiFiKa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the water with you
I've been thinking
In my head we're up in the air
Baby I believe in you
And the things you do
Tell me all your plans
And pictures so that it comes true
아무 이유 없이 햇빛이 날
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby 넓은 바다도 너도 말이 없어
Baby 너는 없대도 난 할 말이 있어
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
As you want me to feel you deeper
Don't want what other people want
As you want me to feel you deeper
돌아가더라도 좋아
I'm breathing slowly
I mean you love her don't you
Im not liking this
Want water and leave me alone
Baby I believed in you
And the things you did
Help me
Oh you can't tell the truth
So that we come blue
네 눈에 비친 난 더는 말 안 해
아무 이유 없이 햇빛이 날
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby 넓은 마음도 너도 아니었어
Baby 너는 있대도 난 할 말이 없어
Baby 넓은 마음도 너도 아니었어
Baby 너는 있대도 난 할 말이 없어
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
내 마음을 감출 수가
내 미래를 전혀 알 수가
I'm breathing slowly
In the water
I'm breathing slowly
In the water
I'm breathing slowly
In the water
I'm breathing slowly
In the water
내 마음을 감출 수가

In the water
The song "Water" by CiFiKa seems to be about the struggle to hide one's emotions and desires for the sake of someone else. The lyrics express a desire to be with someone, to be close to them and share all their plans and hopes with them. However, there is a fear of vulnerability and a reluctance to reveal too much, hence "My heart and my future, I can't conceal, I can't know at all". There is also a sense of disillusionment and disappointment, as if the person has been led on or misled by their partner.
The repeated line "I'm breathing slowly in the water" can be interpreted in different ways. It could symbolize the weight of the emotions and the difficulty of keeping them hidden, as if the singer is holding their breath underwater. Alternatively, it could represent a sense of calm and peace that comes from being submerged in water, a place where one can escape from the pressures of the outside world. Overall, the song conveys a complex mix of emotions, including longing, hope, fear, and frustration.

Lost in thought
In my head we're up in the air
Mentally elevated with you

신해철의 ocean과는 다른 느낌으로 물과 인간감정에 대한 표현이 끝내주는 곡이다
@fusi_dy7072
the tracks are all so unique and wonderful to listen to in their own ways. prism in general is such a well-rounded ep, i'm in love
@AbirChoudhury101
Totally agree. I love how - like you said - all the tracks have their own color. It's as if she sat down and purposely tried to bring out all these colors from her mind and heart
@jodogohoo
Favorite track in the album. sitting down and listening too the full thing with your eyes closed is a great treat
@user-blingblingisme
노래 미쳤다.. 심층적인 인간감정을 느낄 수 있는 음악은 정말 오랜만이야
