Fool
NCT 127 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
숨이 가빠 비상사태
Oh God 심장아 그만 stop that
Slow motion, no option
Wait up man 침착하게 가야 해
쇼윈도 앞에서 머릴 넘기지 uh
대충 입고 나온 새 옷 feelin' it
호흡 가다듬고 그녀에게로 직진 (let's go)
"Sup, girl what's good, huh?"
"솔직히 너한테 첫눈에 반해버렸어"
Wait what? 이건 속마음인데 "아 그러니까 난"
난 지금 너무 어지러워 어지러워 아아 girl
속마음을 그냥 말해버렸어 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
입술이 떨어지질 않아 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
Time is runnin' out (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
어색해 (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
아니 그니까 무슨 말이냐면
지금 '너의 머리 위에 후광이 과연
실재하는가'가 난 궁금하여
내일 오후쯤 다시 만나요
그녀의 미모는 so chemical
Serotonin, dopamine, bla-blast off
갑분 로맨티시즘, 인생을 재해석
그녀의 목소리마저 내게는 best song
처음 본 그 순간에 girl (girl)
내 이성을 납치해갔어 (criminal)
난 언어를 잃은 것처럼 (woah)
I don't know what I'm uhm love you
난 지금 너무 어지러워 어지러워 아아 girl
속마음을 그냥 말해버렸어 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
입술이 떨어지질 않아 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
Time is runnin' out (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
어색해 (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
아 망한 것 같은데 (wait what?)
I don't know I don't know (어지러워)
You're a Goddess but I'm a fool
What should I do? (어지러워)
아 야 잠깐 차 좀 세워봐 (skrr skrr) (어지러워)
멀미약 멀미약 I need that, I need that (bring it back back)
난 지금 너무 어지러워 어지러워 아아 girl
속마음을 그냥 말해버렸어 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
입술이 떨어지질 않아 (아 깜짝이야 아 깜짝이야)
Time is runnin' out (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
어색해 (째깍째깍 째깍째깍 째깍째깍)
The lyrics of NCT 127's song "FOOL" delve into the internal turmoil and emotional tumult experienced by the singer as they navigate newfound romantic feelings and uncertainties. The opening lines set the scene with a sense of urgency and panic, describing a feeling of suffocation akin to a state of emergency. The plea to the heart to stop its rapid beating and the need for a calm approach highlight the singer's internal struggle to navigate their emotions and make sense of their infatuation.
As the lyrics progress, the singer interacts with the object of their affection, expressing surprise and vulnerability at being captivated at first sight. The confession of inner feelings and the inability to control the trembling lips and awkwardness convey a sense of vulnerability and raw honesty in the face of attraction. The ticking clock symbolizing time running out amplifies the pressure and awkwardness of the situation, emphasizing the singer's discomfort in expressing their feelings.
The middle section of the song introduces a philosophical question about the existence of a halo above the girl's head, hinting at a deeper contemplation of their feelings and the enigmatic nature of attraction. The references to neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, as well as the transformative power of romanticism, underscore the intensity and euphoria of the singer's emotions. The girl's beauty is likened to a chemical reaction, with her voice described as the singer's "best song," further emphasizing the profound impact she has on them.
The chorus repeats the singer's disorientation and confusion, likening their emotional state to dizziness and loss of control. The admission of feeling like a fool in the presence of the girl juxtaposes her perceived goddess-like qualities with the singer's own insecurities. The final plea for a moment to collect oneself and the mention of motion sickness medication reflect the singer's desire to regain composure and clarity amidst the overwhelming rush of emotions. Overall, "FOOL" captures the whirlwind of emotions, vulnerability, and uncertainty that come with falling for someone unexpectedly, painting a vivid portrait of emotional complexity and introspection.
