The song "Avatar" by U-KISS talks about a relationship where the singer is in control and views their partner as a doll. The song begins with the singer saying "I'm burning, I'm running and dropping, keep going" which could mean that they are passionate or driven to achieve their goals in the relationship. They also mention that their partner is like an avatar for them, and they control their every move. They mention how they are always on their partner's mind and they are synced together. The chorus repeats the phrase, "It's my lady, it's my lady", emphasizing the control he has over his partner throughout the song. In the end, they tell everyone to change their love, as their type of relationship is not healthy.
The lyrics of "Avatar" show a toxic relationship in which one partner seeks to control the other. They view their partner as a doll and claim to be in control of their thoughts and movements. The use of the word "avatar" is interesting because it refers to a digital representation of oneself and suggests a lack of humanity or free will. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "It's my lady, it's my lady" which creates a possessive tone, underscoring the controlling nature of the relationship. Overall, the song highlights the negative aspects of relationships based on power dynamics and control.
