Overall Meaning

The song "Flower Power" sings about a night of romance and dancing, where one can let go of their inhibitions and dive into the freedom of human nature. The lyrics made use of metaphors like "butterfly butta spider," "glass wall," and "color flower" to describe the mixed emotions of falling in love. It is believed that the song is an ode to the Japanese culture where the group expresses their admiration for Japan's beauty and its people.


The first verse of the song starts with Tiffany describing the contrasting beauty of light and darkness, leading to a weekend of dancing and shouting to release the human nature. Taeyeon joins in the song, talking about the false borders people share, and the search for love amid the playfulness of life's moments. The song brings together the experience of falling in love and enjoying every moment, the happiness and the pain that comes with it. The use of "adabana" in the song, which means a field of unluckiness, perfectly captures the complexity of emotions that one can feel while falling in love.

I hated this song at first, but after listening to it carefully and understanding it intently, I find that it nudges the ugly truth about dating in today's society. Everyone needs to put some mask on no matter how thick or thin because it's a dangerous game to just reveal yourself unfiltered. Of course, it's also "strategy" because "first impressions matter." As a result, the authenticity and philosophy of love is in question. アソビで咲かせた 恋は徒花 (Asobi de sakaseta koi wa adabana): "Love that bloomed by playing around is a fruitless flower" as the lyrics goes. Intentionally or not, most people must appear like butterflies since a spider is too intimidating to approach. But if the result of playing around gives rise to this fleeting relationship, how long can you keep the charade?

突き上げて煌いた Glass を
tsukiagete kirameita Glass wo
Against the sparking glass
無数の泡が駆け上がる
musuu no awa ga kakeagaru
Countless bubbles rise up
はじけては消えていく恋を
hajikete wa kiete iku koi wo
The vanishing love which it is lit upon
眩しくライト照らし出す
mabushiku raito terashidasu
Is illuminated by the dazzling light
