VIXX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
경험해 본 적 없는 magic
날 홀린 black magic
시간은 다 되어가잖아
단 한 번이라도
내가 들어갈 그 틈을 줘
점점 시들해져 가는 이 밤에
가까이 다가가 숨이 닿도록
Hold up baby 잠깐
난 너 하나만 바라봐 날 따라와 one, two
Black out
어젯밤에 우리 뭘 한 거니
Black out
사실 난 하나밖에 기억 안 나
I'm thinking your body yeah
I'm thinking your body (come on)
I'm thinking your body
분명해 너만
추락하듯 빠져들었어
한 번도 없던 loveholic
운명적 biologic
말로는 설명이 잘 안 돼
네 전부를 맡겨
리드하는 대로 따라와
너의 입속에 주고 싶은 candy
그 어떤 달콤한 뻔한 말이
필요 없는 순간, 밀어내지 마
Hold up baby 잠깐
난 너와 하나가 되어 날아가 one, two
Freak out
오늘 밤도 우리 뭘 할 거지
Freak out
어제완 또 다른 널 보고 싶어
I'm thinking your body yeah
I'm thinking your body (come on)
I'm thinking your body
널 원해 내가
음 어젯밤에 음 그래 음 아 음
보라색 구름 위를 날아다닌 듯한 기억이
Whoo 나긴 하는데 음
시작돼버린 건 멈출 수 없어
달아나 봐 깰 수 없는 꿈의 꿈속
Black out
너만 보면 정신을 잃어
Black out
눈을 뜨면 네가 내 안에 있어
Freak out 매일 밤 난 너를 갖고 싶어
Freak out 넌 이미 내 모든 걸 알고 있어
I'm thinking your body (thinking your body)
I'm thinking your body
I'm thinking your body
분명해 너만 uh
Freak out (freak out, freak out)
Freak out
The song "Black Out" by VIXX is about falling deeply in love with someone and feeling completely entranced by them, to the point where everything else fades away and all that matters is being close to that person. The lyrics detail the intensity and allure of this love, describing it as a "black magic" and a "loveholic" that is impossible to resist. The chorus is a plea to the object of the singer's affection, expressing a desire to be with them and lose control.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is willing to do anything to be with their beloved. The lyrics mention candy as a symbol of sweetness and temptation, and describe the desire to become one with the other person, as if they are the missing piece that completes the "biologic" destiny the singer feels.
Overall, "Black Out" is a passionate and romantic song that captures the feeling of being head over heels in love, and the intense desire to be with the object of one's affection.
