Tragedy
H.O.T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

Can't you see my darling
That the harder I try
The more we grow apart
Please believe me
The sweeter the kiss
The colder turn your arms
The colder grows your heart
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you
And baby more I love you

And tonight my darling
The closer I get
The more you're out of love
Don't you feel it
The colder your touch
The more it turns me on
And the faster beats my heart
And baby more
I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you
And baby more I love you




And baby more I love you
And baby more I love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of H.O.T.'s "TRAGEDY" express the rollercoaster of emotions in a failing relationship. The singer acknowledges the signs of distance and coldness from their significant other, but their love only grows stronger in response. The repetition of "I see it in your eyes, I feel it in your touch, I taste it from your lips" emphasizes the physical cues of the relationship that have become less genuine over time. The chorus, "And baby more I love you," could be interpreted two ways: either as an expression of the singer's affection growing despite the seemingly impossible situation, or as a desperate plea for their love to be enough to salvage the relationship.


The bridge introduces a new layer of complexity to the song, as the singer acknowledges that the colder their partner becomes, the more turned on they are. This allows the listener to question the sincerity of the singer's love - is it genuine or simply a response to the forbidden thrill of their partner's emotional detachment? The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the intense and conflicting emotions at play.
