The lyrics to SHINee's song Trigger speak about the intense emotions of a relationship that is falling apart. The chorus is the centerpiece of the song and is a metaphor about pulling the trigger of a gun. The members are suggesting that it is time to end the relationship, but are also hesitant to do so. The first verse is sung by Jonghyun, who admits that he is not perfect and cannot always do the right thing, asking his partner what he can do to save the relationship. The second verse is sung by Minho, who is trying to stop the situation from escalating by holding back his emotions.
The chorus is sung by all members and it is a plea to their partner to end the relationship before someone is hurt. The members sing about how the relationship has become a dangerous game, and the only way to stop it is to pull the trigger and end it. They are admitting that they still care for their partner, but it is time to let go. The bridge of the song is sung by Onew, who reflects on their time together, but ultimately accepts that they must face the reality of their situation and move on.
Overall, Trigger is a song about the struggles of a relationship that is no longer working. The members of SHINee are trying to hold onto the good times, but realize that it is time to move on and let go. The song is a powerful call to action that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever had to end a relationship.
