VINXEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 깔 대로 깠고 이제 남은 건 없는듯 해
경제와 브랜드가 발전을 해야 발전하는
래퍼들 가사완 갭이 있는듯 해
또 다시 떨어졌네 밑바닥으로
몇 가닥 심하게 꼬인 이 마음으로
또 다시 창작을 하지 잠자코 봐
내 가능성은 infinite but 난
짓밟힌 날들 사이로 난 꽃봉오리 피워
또 다시 짓밟히겠지만 볼륨을 키워
악마들의 소리에 천사가 죽지 않기를
내가 이룰 것이
꿈꾸는 미래보다 더 크기를
부풀린 내 마음은 금방 터지고 난 다쳐
부풀린 내 마음이 터지면서 너도 다쳐
닮기 싫은 모습을 골라서 담은 나는
어리단 핑계도 불가해서 절벽 아래로 쿵
The lyrics of VINXEN's song Blossom paints the picture of an artist struggling in the music industry. The first line, "Are you really happy with what's beneath me?" suggests a sense of insecurity and competition between artists, where success is measured by the number of followers and likes. The next line, "I'm living the way I've laid out, and it seems like there's nothing left," reinforces this insecurity, where the singer has done everything he can to succeed but still feels like he's at the bottom of the ladder.
The following lines reveal the singer's disenchantment with the state of the music industry, where brands and money seem to be the key elements for success, leaving little room for creativity and individuality. "It seems like there's a gap between the lyrics of rappers," suggesting that narratives in today's music scene are somewhat like a copy and paste of the other, not original enough. The singer goes on to say that despite the lack of inspiration, he will continue to create and grow, even if it means being stepped on by others.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of vulnerability and the fear of failure, yet the singer is determined to fight against society's expectations and rise above the rest. The chorus reveals this determination and ends with a message that the artist will achieve greatness and make his dreams come true.
