Overall Meaning

The song "MAMA" by EXO-K is a highly emotive and intense track that delves deep into the feelings of loneliness and despair. The repeated phrases of "careless," "shoot anonymous," "heartless," and "mindless" allude to a sense of hopelessness and a lack of purpose in life. The lyrics convey a desperate plea for help to the "MAMA," who is a maternal figure and a symbol of the sole source of comfort in a chaotic world.


The opening lines "Irheobeorin chae, Oemyeonhaneun geot gata" talk about feeling lost and aimless in life, with a dull existence that lacks anything to look forward to. The chorus "MAMA ijen naege daedaphaejwo" is a poignant appeal to the MAMA to answer the singer's query about why people keep running away from him. It includes a note of frustration at people who repeatedly abandon him.


The song's bridge emphasizes the desolate feeling of being alone and misunderstood, with a sense of an overwhelming emptiness that cannot be filled no matter how hard one tries. The song then ends on a hopeful note with the line "Kkaejyeobeorin maeume boda gippeun sarangeul, modu hamkke useul su itdamyeon," indicating that there is still a glimmer of hope for happiness if everyone can come together in love and understanding.
