The lyrics of TAEMIN's song "Exclusive" convey a sense of irresistible temptation and desire to be exclusive with someone special. The singer expresses a longing to be seduced without hesitation and emphasizes the urgency of wanting to escape to a secret place with the person of interest. The use of phrases like "You can't pass me by" suggests a strong determination to pursue this intense and poisonous love that feels overpowering and irresistible.
The mention of catching a taxi and fleeing the party together signifies a desire for a private and intimate moment away from the outside world, where the focus is solely on each other. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a need to act on these intense feelings without hesitation, as if the love being experienced is too intense and intoxicating to resist.
The repetition of the phrase "Way too exclusive" emphasizes the unique and exclusive nature of the connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. It highlights a desire to be completely devoted to this person and to indulge in the passion and chemistry that exists between them without any reservations or doubts.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of fate and destiny, suggesting that the connection between the two individuals is meant to be and that they are drawn to each other in a way that cannot be denied. The song's chorus and repetition of the lines "Get faster than ever, I want to steal you exclusively" and "Just answer, no matter, I want to tempt you regardless of your response" underscore the singer's unwavering determination to pursue this intense and exclusive love, despite any obstacles that may arise.
