BOYNEXTDOOR

“ABCDLOVE” by BOYNEXTDOOR seems to be a song about the confusion and transformation of love. The lyrics suggest that the perception and understanding of love have changed for the narrator.

In the first verse, the lyrics express a struggle to remember even simple English words and how the meaning of “L-O-V-E” has shifted. This could represent a shift in the narrator’s understanding of love. The line “멀쩡했던 사람 하나를 너가 다 베려놨어” (You destroyed the person who was fine) implies that someone has caused the narrator pain or disappointment, altering their view of love.

The pre-chorus asks for the person who brought darkness into their heart to bring light back, symbolizing a desire for clarity and emotional healing.

The chorus reflects the frustration of the narrator, questioning the meaning of “A-B-C-D-L-O-V-E” and expressing a wish to go back to the previous understanding or find a new love.

In the second verse, the lyrics mention that familiar words like “I love you” feel awkward and unfamiliar. The narrator feels like they have become foolish in a moment, as if a screw has come loose. This could represent the narrator’s confusion and loss of composure in the face of changing feelings.

The pre-chorus further emphasizes the loss, using the metaphor of the departing seasons (spring and summer) leaving only winter behind. The lyrics express a longing for warmth and a request for the person to bring color back to their cold heart.

The final chorus introduces a sense of unfamiliarity with the alphabet, using “A-B-C-D-E-F-G” instead of “A-B-C-D-L-O-V-E.” This may represent the narrator’s uncertainty and discomfort in adapting to this new understanding of love.

Overall, “ABCDLOVE” explores the theme of a person experiencing a profound shift in their perception of love, struggling to adapt to the changes and longing for a return to the familiar or the discovery of a new love.
