[Intro: Seulgi]
Yeah, all I need for you’s to stay
And forever, you will sway
[Verse 1: Yeri, Irene, Wendy, Joy]
They can’t love you like I love you
Quickly disappearing, all of those waves
Without leaving any trace
No, it’s something that never existed from the start
Very deep underwater
You can open your eyes now
It’s all wrapped around you
Only you are allowed here, I
It’s wrapping me now
Remember the feelings
Without leaving any trace
No, it’s something that never happened from the bеginning
Very deep underwater
You can opеn your eyes now
It’s all wrapped around you
Only you are allowed here, I
It’s wrapping me now
Remembering all those feelings
So, you can take your time
[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi, Irene]
Oh, shivering from unfamiliar warmth
It’s all you, you-ooh
The feelings that woken you
All of that is true

[Chorus: All]
I can’t wait, babe
What’s it gonna be?
What’s it gonna be, babe?
You should show me
You are ingrained in me deeply
It fills up my heart to the end, babe
I’ll leave it to you, I’m drawn to gravity
It makes you want me even more (Oh)
Flowing in quietly and flawlessly
To be able to breathe within me, oh
[Verse 2: Wendy, Irene, Joy, Seulgi]
Who can love you like I love you?
This warm and yet distant sweet dream
Come here, babe
Because it never dries (Oh)
Far underwater
What am I curious about?
Anywhere leisurely
You can swim more
Without any boundaries
Like dancing like that
So you can take your time
[Pre-Chorus: Joy, Yeri, Irene]
Oh, in eternity
A frozen view, view (It is all you)
The feelings I awakened
All of that is true
[Chorus: All, Wendy, Joy, Irene]
I can’t wait, babe
What’s it gonna be?
What’s it gonna be, babe?
You should show me (Show me, yeah)
You are deeply ingrained (You are deep to me)
Until the every end, babe, it fills
It’s rising (Oh, it’s rising)
I’ll leave it to you, I’m drawn to gravity
You want me even more (You keep wanting me)
Flowing in quietly and flawlessly
To be able to breathe within me, oh
[Bridge: Yeri, Wendy]
Way up and down (Up and down)
Go round and round (Round and round)
You don’t want to leave
Again, stay around (Stay around)
I want you no one else
Just come lay your body on me
[Chorus: All, Joy, Wendy]
You can’t wait, babe
What’s it gonna be? (What’s it gonna be?)
What’s it gonna be, babe?
You should show me (You should show me)
In an instant, deeply into me (In a moment, babe)
Until the every end, babe, it fills
You can leave it all to me when you reach your limit (Oh)
You want me endlessly (I want you endlessly) Digging deep into your heart
To be able to breathe within me, oh
The Lyrical Voyage
First things first, let’s talk about the genius behind these lyrics – Red Velvet. This quintet of powerhouse vocalists – Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri – hailing from the K-pop juggernaut SM Entertainment, has a knack for crafting lyrical compositions that resonate with fans worldwide. And “Underwater” is no exception.
The Concept: A Submerged Fantasy
The song’s concept is a whimsical exploration of the underwater realm, serving as a metaphor for the depths of love, desire, and emotional vulnerability. Imagine being enveloped by the cool embrace of the ocean, weightless and free, as you navigate the currents of passion and longing. That’s the vibe Red Velvet aims to capture with these lyrics.
Verse 1: Diving into the Unknown
The opening verse sets the stage for our aquatic adventure:
“Take a dive, let’s go underwater Where the waves are blue and the sun is brighter”
With these lines, Red Velvet invites us to take the plunge into the unknown, promising a world where the blues are more vivid and the light shines brighter. It’s a call to embrace the thrill of exploration, both literal and metaphorical.
Chorus: The Irresistible Pull
And then, we’re swept into the chorus, the beating heart of the song:
“Pull me in, deeper and deeper Where the sea is calling, I’ll follow wherever”
Can you feel the magnetic pull of these lyrics? The yearning to surrender to the irresistible force of love, to follow it wherever it leads, even into the depths of the unknown? Red Velvet captures this sentiment with such raw emotion that you can’t help but be drawn in, like a ship caught in an undertow.
Verse 2: Navigating the Currents
As we venture further into the song, the lyrics take on a more introspective tone:
“Floating through the silence, I can hear my heartbeat Echoing in the distance, a rhythm I can’t repeat”
Here, Red Velvet paints a vivid picture of being alone with one’s thoughts and emotions, amplified by the stillness of the underwater world. The heartbeat, a symbol of life and passion, becomes the guiding rhythm, yet one that defies replication – a testament to the uniqueness of each individual’s journey.
Bridge: The Calm Before the Storm
Just when you think you’ve caught your breath, the bridge sweeps in like a rogue wave:
“Take my hand, let’s dance together Spinning in the current, lost in forever”
This section is a beautiful invitation to let go and lose yourself in the moment, to dance with your partner (metaphorical or literal) and be swept away by the currents of love and desire. It’s a brief respite before the final chorus crashes over us with renewed intensity.
The Impact: Riding the Wave
Red Velvet’s “Underwater” is more than just a song; it’s an experience. These lyrics have the power to transport listeners to a world of their own creation, where the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur. The imagery is so vivid, the emotions so raw, that you can’t help but be swept away by the current.
But what truly sets these lyrics apart is their universal appeal. Love, desire, vulnerability – these are emotions that resonate with people across cultures, languages, and borders. Red Velvet has tapped into that shared human experience, using the metaphor of the ocean to explore the depths of the heart.
The Fandom: A Tide of Devotion
And let’s not forget the devoted fandom, the lifeblood of any K-pop group. Red Velvet’s “ReVeluvs” have embraced these lyrics with open arms, interpreting them through their own personal lenses and sharing their experiences online. It’s a testament to the power of music to bring people together, to create a shared language and understanding.
The Future: Riding the Waves of Success
As Red Velvet continues to make waves in the music industry, both in South Korea and globally, one thing is certain: their lyrics will continue to captivate and inspire. With each new release, fans can expect to be transported to new metaphorical realms, exploring the depths of human emotion through the artistry of these talented vocalists.
