About the Song

《Mine》 is a dark and emotionally charged track by aespa, released in 2024 as the fourth song on their first full-length album Armageddon under SM Entertainment, where tense atmospheres and sharp beats frame an inner struggle with fear, identity, and self-ownership, driven by composers Mike Daley, Mitchell Owens, Nicole “Kole” Cohen, and Adrian McKinnon, as the song captures a gradual shift from being consumed by shadows to reclaiming control, turning anxiety and doubt into a declaration of strength and personal territory.

MINE

Without warning, the shadow growing over me feels like it’s mine, fear feeding itself and getting stronger inside me, everything looks fake like a shattered mirror, and it feels like I’m slowly being swallowed whole by it.

Panic rushes in, show me your face, I hold my breath as it gets closer, a chill pushes me forward, I know you’re there, I want to run but I can’t, the world collapses and I’m trapped inside it, facing another version of myself.

In a night like a nightmare, trapped in a maze, standing somewhere like hell, sinking deeper into sleep, even when I wake up it feels like it spreads again and crashes down over me.

Without warning, the shadow falling over me feels like it’s mine, fear growing inside me, everything fake like a broken mirror, and it feels like it’s about to swallow me completely.

Obvious lies and hidden secrets tell me not to waste my time, the emptiness pressing down on me is nothing but an illusion, I search for what’s real, wake it up, real emotion rising as the view slowly blurs.

I won’t bow my head anymore, I face it properly, stay out of my way, when my eyes open and collide with it, the black shadow turns into fog.

The sinking moon, shattered nightmares, collapsing scenes, I take a deep breath and watch the fear fade away like white smoke, realizing it was never that big.

Without warning, the shadow falling over me feels like it’s mine, I forget the fear and face it, everything fake like a cracked mirror, breaking free for myself, claiming what’s mine.

Alone but surrounded, trapped yet divided, wandering through a long tunnel, searching but unable to find, I need to face the me inside, feel me, this is my chance to break free from the nightmare, I do what I want and get what I like because it’s mine.

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics portray an inner battle with fear, anxiety, and distorted self-images that emerge without warning, like shadows and broken reflections, as the speaker confronts panic, nightmares, and a collapsing inner world before gradually reclaiming control, rejecting false versions of the self, and declaring ownership over identity, emotions, and destiny, transforming fear into strength and asserting that everything once threatening now belongs to her.
