“Tall Trees” is a song where trees sparkle like stars, birds dance around, and even dogs stop by. Minnie and Miyeon start it off with charming verses, painting a vivid picture.

Yuqi and Miyeon’s part adds a touch of vulnerability, a metaphorical sun appears in the form of a person who has the power to make these expectations grow. The vulnerability deepens as the possibility of hidden dangers, symbolized by an axe behind someone’s back is addressed.

The chorus, sung by Shuhua and Soyeon, has repetition of “Tall trees fall hard” which underscores the fragility of strength, hinting at the emotional impact that love and heartbreak can have on even the strongest people. And when tall trees fall they inevitably create a lot of damage and leave a void in the ground that could symbolize a broken heart.
