Description

• English
• Korean

Olivia Hye’s titled track “Egoist” starts with calm melodies to eventually encounter provocative beats to take a step towards loving oneself instead of someone else. Pop melodies mix with EDM beats to build up until a dramatic fall at the beat drop, which then is brought to salvation by JinSoul’s rap.

Also, the music video features Olivia Hye’s dynamic movements, along with hidden cuts around the narratives of LOOΠΔ.

Olivia Hye의 타이틀 곡 ‘Egoist’는 차분한 멜로디로 시작하여 점점 도발적인 비트를 만나며 남이 아닌 나에 대한 사랑으로 다가선다. 팝 멜로디를 중심으로 EDM을 뒤섞어 고조되는 음악은 비트 드랍을 통해 추락했다가 진솔의 랩으로 다시 구원 받는다.

뮤직비디오 역시 Olivia Hye의 다이내믹한 동작을 지켜보는 재미 외에도 이달의 소녀의 내러티브를 따라 숨겨져있는 컷들을 보는 재미를 갖추었다.

Lyrics

Korean
어느 순간 내게 싸늘해진 니 표정 미워할래도 내 맘은 너를 보내지 못했어 시간이 모두 잊게 한단 말 그 말 조차 내겐 아픔이 되어 널 잊지 못했어 내 맘에 가득 피었던 꽃잎들이 모두 떨어져 발끝에는 내 눈물이, oh-oh-oh, oh 해가 저물고 집으로 돌아오던 어둠 끝에서 달빛을 보게 된 거야, oh-oh-oh, oh 이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더 사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야 (Oh, oh) 한발 더 다가가 나를 더 안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야 (Oh, oh) Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah (Oh, oh) Hey, 너를 삼켜 버린 죄로 아름다운 넌 점점 커져가 너는 바로 나 이제 나는 너 내 혈관까지 조금씩 더 스며든 On and on, 끝 없는 사이클 너와 나 우린 떨어질 수 없어 보고 싶을 땐 눈을 감아 난 잠깐 너에게로 다가가 눈을 감고 나에게 더 너 점점 다가와 두 손을 모아 한 번만 너를 다시 돌려 달라고 기도하던 내 꿈들이, oh-oh-oh, oh 세 번의 키스 우리의 약속들이 빛이 되던 날 비로소 알게 된 거야, oh-oh-oh, oh 이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더 사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야 (Oh, oh) 한발 더 다가가 나를 더 안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야 (Oh, oh) 수 많은 별들 우주 속에서 나를 만난 건 아마 (아마) 우연이 아냐 운명일 거야 축복일 거야 내게 이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더 사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야 (Oh, oh) 한발 더 다가가 나를 더 안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야 (Oh, oh) Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today

Translation
Your facial expressions towards me turned cold at some moment I wanted to despise you But my heart wouldn’t let you go They say that time heals Even those words became pain for me I couldn’t get over you All the petals of the flowers That bloomed in my heart fall My tears are on the tips of my toes, oh-oh-oh, oh At the edge of the darkness On the way home after sunset That’s where I saw the moonlight, oh-oh-oh, oh From now on, I’ll love myself Instead of you, I’ll live on (Oh, oh) Take another step To hold myself, and give myself all (Oh, oh) Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah (Oh, oh) Hey, for the sin of swallowing you You get bigger and bigger, beautiful you You are me, now I’m you Little by little, soaked into my veins On and on, you and me, the endless cycle We can’t be separated, when I miss you I close my eyes and go to you for a while Close your eyes and you come closer to me Put my hands together And ask for you back just once My dreams that I prayed for, oh-oh-oh, oh Three kisses The day when our promises became the light That’s when I realized, oh-oh-oh, oh From now on, I’ll love myself Instead of you, I’ll live on (Oh, oh) Take another step To hold myself, and give myself all (Oh, oh) Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah (Oh, oh) In the space with countless stars You met me (Met me) It must not be a coincidence It was fate, a blessing for me-e-e-e-e From now on, I’ll love myself Instead of you, I’ll live on (Oh, oh) Take another step To hold myself, and give myself all (Oh, oh) Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today, oh Let you go today, oh-woah Love myself today
