Finale version 25 response and verse text

K-pop has long been a category that couldnвЂ™t be bound by genre, and few releases in 2021 prove this as much as Querencia from soloist Chung Ha. Nowhere is this attitude more obvious than in WaterfallвЂ™s final track вЂњRe-Birth,вЂќ where the album culminates in the artistвЂ™s promise to be born again-likely a metaphor for this new chapter of his career. B.I may have been swept away by his sea of tears, but heвЂ™s prepared to build a sandcastle again (as he sings on вЂњilla illaвЂќ) he may have вЂњthousands of sorrows hidden behind a mask,вЂќ but heвЂ™s ready to вЂњpeel off all my fake skinsвЂќ to face them (вЂњFlow AwayвЂќ). But a message of hope ultimately emerges, because where there are images of loss across the album, there are also opportunities for fresh beginnings. Most gutting are the lyrics in вЂњHelp Me,вЂќ a clear cry of desperation: вЂњThe boy in the empty room is lonely/ I want to run away/ Get me out of this abyss,вЂќ B.I sings. Across the 12 tracks written by B.I are aching expressions of pain and sorrow as well as apathy. The rapper, singer and songwriter left boy group iKon in 2019 following allegations that he bought illegal drugs, and this album is his first as a solo artist. Albums Waterfall, B.IД«.IвЂ™s Waterfall is as much about reaching the end of the road as it is about starting on a new one. The songвЂ™s ferocity is evident from its first line, as Winter scoffs, вЂњOh my gosh/ DonвЂ™t you know IвЂ™m a savage?вЂќ Then, over trap beats and discordant instrumentation, aespa delivers punchy rap verses spelling out why theyвЂ™re a threat.

You donвЂ™t have to understand Kwangya, the fictional universe in which aespaвЂ™s virtual counterparts reside, to be fully immersed in вЂњSavage.вЂќ While its lyrics are dedicated to the four members syncing with their digital avatars to launch an attack in this imagined land, the explosive track can be thoroughly enjoyed with minimal knowledge of the SM Culture Universe.
