ENHYPEN - CHACONNE

lyrics/translation:

a shady castle without sun

even if it withers, it leaves a bad scent

i kiss the dead flowers

and put the scent on my lips

more radiant than the sun,

that is exactly me

even if they call me a “monster”

i’ll never pay mind to it

dance just for me, forever

match my steps while looking at me in the broken mirror

i won’t let this beautiful moment stop, look

woah, now chaconne again

dance for me, like you’re fascinated, as if you’re drunk on me

i just wanna dance on, i can’t stop

‘cause this world in the darkness is only mine, look

woah, now chaconne again

woah-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

now chaconne again

woah-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

now chaconne

i don’t care about the death at all

this scent is only for me

flowers are overshadowed by the bad scent

this party is only for me anyways

more radiant than the sun,

that is exactly me

dancing is death’s form of martial arts

as if we’re drunk on arrogance

dance just for me, forever

match my steps while looking at me in the broken mirror

i won’t let this beautiful moment stop, look

woah, now chaconne again

dance for me, like you’re fascinated, as if you’re drunk on me

i just wanna dance on, i can’t stop

‘cause this world in the darkness is only mine, look

woah, now chaconne again

i truly love everything beautiful

but even if this is all a curse, i can’t stop

dance just for this moment, forever

match the steps of the beautiful me that you’re drunk on

even in the broken mirror i’m shining, aren’t i

woah, now chaconne again

dance for me, as if you were a dead flower that just bloomed

i just wanna dance on, there’s no such thing as an end

like a curse, even i can’t stop myself, look

woah, now chaconne again

woah-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

now chaconne again

woah-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

now chaconne

interpretation:

for context, a chaconne is a type of dance that comes from the 1600s in spain, performed by individuals. it is a suggestive dance.

the narrator is assumably royalty, but they live in a castle without sunlight, which could also just stand for a regular person that struggles with mental health. because of the lack of sunlight, all of the flowers near their castle wilt, and this could be a metaphor for interpersonal relationships having to do with the narrator. the narrator doesn’t care about the wilting flowers, but only cares about the person they’re singing to, which we’ll call “you” because that’s how it’s referred to in the lyrics. i interpret it as the narrator being obsessed with “you” and they just use “you” as an outlet for happiness so they make “you” dance a chaconne infinitely with them watching.

ENHYPEN - STILL MONSTER

lyrics/translation:

as if anything hadn’t even happened

she saw me, using eyes without one bit of shade

but i know that the abyss inside me

is waiting for me, with its mouth open

even the nape of her pure neck is enough to drive me crazy

it throws me into a desire i can’t cope with

i’ve been forgiven countless times

still a monster

how dare you, baby (hey)

my heart craves you

even though i’m like a monster (please save me)

what is love (hey)

teach love to me

in the end, the answer is always only you

oh, i'm a

na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, still a monster

na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, still a monster

without you, i’m empty

only this darkness is left (only darkness left)

this deep night will cover me

with a long painful déjà vu

i’m filled with scars, you’re the only savior to me

you’re the only one who taught me how to see myself

i can only be myself when i’m with you

i’m not a monster

how dare you, baby (hey)

my heart craves you

even though i’m like a monster (please save me)

what is love (hey)

teach love to me

in the end, the answer is always only you

oh, i'm a

i’m scared (oh-oh)

of every night without you (hey, hey)

i’m definitely

going to be ruined (ooh-ooh-ooh)

i’m anxious (ooh-ooh)

[want to] grab your hand again

i want you to hold me tight

how dare you, baby (hey)

my heart craves you

even though i’m like a monster (please save me)

what is love (hey)

teach love to me

in the end, the answer is always only you

oh, i'm a

na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, still a monster (monster)

na-na, na-na-na-na, na, i’m not a monster (i'm not a monster)

na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, still a monster (monster)

na-na, na-na-na-na, na, i'm not a monster (oh, i'm a)

na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, still a monster (monster)

na-na, na-na-na-na, na, i'm not a monster (monster)

interpretation:

basically this song tells the story of a person who has been through a lot so they think they’re a monster, and they basically worship the love interest, who is the only person that doesn’t make them feel like a monster.

ENHYPEN - FEVER

translation/interpretation

give me fever

eyes like ice (that flaming gaze)

breaking me in two (i’m shaken by it)

when i stand in front of you, sitting on your throne

a fire burns inside me (it burns)

what i gotta do? (my hands are burning up)

even if i find you (i cannot have it)

i can never touch you

but i’m still drawn in (the more i’m hurt, the more i want you)

please stop, don’t stop

please stop, don’t stop

my whole body burns because of you

my heart thirsts because of you

like a fever, fever, fever, fever

i want to hold you, want to hold you

push me away, but the fire still burns

turns to ash but i’m still in flames

like a fever, fever, fever

i want to ache for you, want to ache for you

don't stop (stop)

yes, all day, all day, burn me

please stop (stop)

my sun, stop it baby, oh baby (ooh)

please do something, do anything

let go of me, hold me

let go of me, hold me

my whole body burns because of you

my heart thirsts because of you

like a fever, fever, fever, fever

i want to hold you, want to hold you

push me away, but the fire still burns

turns to ash but i’m still in flames

like a fever, fever, fever

i want to ache for you, want to ache for you

my whole body burns because of you

my heart thirsts because of you

like a fever, fever, fever, fever

i want to hold you, want to hold you

push me away, but the fire still burns

turns to ash but i’m still in flames

like a fever, fever, fever

i want to ache for you, want to ache for you

interpretation:

this song tells the story of a person being attracted to someone but the person that they’re attracted to only hurts them. the main protagonist knows that the other person will only hurt them, but they’re so attracted to them that they can’t leave them alone, so they go back and forth between a “please stop hurting me” and a “hurt me” mentality. in the end the protagonist accepts defeat and wants to fully let the other person burn them because they “want to ache for [them]”.

ENHYPEN - UPPER SIDE DREAMIN’

translation/interpretation

one summer night’s dream

addicted to the summer nights

i’m running around and slipping through the darkness

summer night, we riding aboard

more high and higher, we dream on

once you get here, a fancy car, a big house on the road

even the scent around me feels like it’s changed

it welcomes us like something I’ve dreamed of

let's have some fun, some fun

uptown girls are smiling

a flickering light

softly invites me

it’s almost like i can reach

the skylight’s river view

i ride on the dream of dreams

a thrilling du-du-du-du-du-du-du

upper side dreamin' yeah

it makes me fly

they tell me to leave my dreams here

again, du-du-du-du-du-du-du

clearly imagine

aye, dreams become realities

i’m sure it’ll be waiting for me

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream

it’s like it came out of the TV, everything's so fancy

everyone here smiles with a relaxed expression (smiles)

i’m just jealous of everything (jealous)

it’s awkward to say yet

i feel like i’ve found a place to stay

ha ha ha ha

under rooftop light,

a cheerful champagne glass

in a place that’s becoming more hazy

in this sweet scenery,

it feels like i’m mixed within it all

i ride on the dream of dreams

a thrilling du-du-du-du-du-du-du

upper side dreamin' yeah

it makes me fly

they tell me to leave my dreams here

again, du-du-du-du-du-du-du

clearly imagine

aye, dreams become realities

i’m sure it’ll be waiting for me

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream

is there a chance it could all suddenly disappear? ah

is there a chance it could all suddenly disappear?

is there a chance it could all suddenly disappear?

is there a chance, a chance?

is there a chance it could all suddenly disappear?

a vague and far du-du-du-du-du-du-du

upper side dreamin' yeah

i keep turning back yeah

i’ll try to dream this unbreakable dream forever

again, du-du-du-du-du-du-du

clearly imagine

aye, dreams become realities

i’m sure it’ll be waiting for me

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream (summer night, summer night)

my dream (summer night)

one summer night’s dream

interpretation:

this song tells the story of a person who wants to know what it’s like to actually live the on “upper side”, assuming an affluent community or something similar. it delves into the dreams of the person and how the dreams contrast from this person’s reality. the summer parties, lively scents, the uptown girls, and the anxiety of it all disappearing suddenly, all illustrate the situation of dreaming to be part of something that you’re not able to be, so dreaming from afar helps this person feel like they’re experiencing it, like they’ve always wanted.

this is one of my favorite enhypen songs and i really enjoy the story it tells :)
