정신을 놓고
(jeongsineul noko)
letting go of reason

당당하게
(dangdanghage)
confidently
💡 Note: Describes approaching darkness without fear, shame, or hesitation.
어둠

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics confront a deceptive enemy whose beauty conceals corruption, cruelty, and a life built on lies. Once the narrator recognizes the truth, fear gives way to fury and an uncompromising determination to expose and destroy the illusion. Standing boldly before the darkness, she promises that manipulation can no longer offer protection, transforming betrayal into righteous defiance, fearless resistance, and a final reckoning for the harm that has been hidden.
