🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

the lyrics of “reset” describe the moment you finally get tired of a one–sided, exhausting relationship that mostly lives inside your phone. constant notifications, meaningless messages, and light, throwaway words pile up until the narrator realizes they’re emotionally overloaded and done pretending everything is fine. instead of clinging to late–night dms and floating speech bubbles, they decide to “reset” their heart back to the time before they knew this person, deleting chats, memories, and even the tiny island world they used to share online. there’s a bittersweet humor in the repeated “ㅋㅋㅋㅋ” and status messages, but underneath, the song is about choosing peace over drama: saying goodbye, clearing the screen, and admitting that from a to z, they were always too different. in the end, “reset” turns a digital breakup into something empowering — wiping the slate clean so they can finally breathe again.
