Chain Lyrics
[Verse 1: Minnie]
You and I
Stare eye to eye, so intertwined
We don’t even speak
Silence’s so clear, mm
[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]
The devil you made me
Is uncontrollable
Patiently creepin’ into your body and mind
Need no invite
[Chorus: Miyeon, Minnie]
So, chain me
Like I’m the only air you’re breathin’
Your fingertips touch my skin
I don’t want you to set me free, mm
Erase me
Until I’m only in your memory
Your pain, my love is so cold
I don’t want you to set me free
[Verse 2: Soyeon, Shuhua]
Hear your voice echoing in my head
Every step I take brings me closer to hell
But it’s a game I’m dying to play
If it’s a maze I’m finding my way
No escape if you say I’m yours
Whisper my name
I’ll answer your call
Won’t let you fall, mm
[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]
The devil you made me
Is uncontrollable
Patiently creepin’ into your body and mind
Need no invite
[Chorus: Minnie, Miyeon]
So, chain me
Like I’m the only air you’re breathin’
Your fingertips touch my skin
I don’t want you to set me free, mm
Erase me
Until I’m only in your memory
Your pain, my love is so cold
I don’t want you to set me free
[Outro: Soyeon]
You’re going crazy over me, can’t run, run
See me when you fall asleep, can’t run, run
I want your chains all over me
I don’t want you to set me free
Chain Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: Minnie]
Minnie introduces the song with a moment of silent intensity between two people. Their deep connection is conveyed through eye contact and a shared, unspoken understanding. The silence doesn’t signify distance—it heightens the emotional tension, showing how powerfully intertwined they are without needing words.
[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]
Yuqi portrays the transformation of her character into something dark and uncontrollable, shaped by the influence of the other person. The line suggests an inner demon awakened by love, sneaking into the other’s mind without permission. It implies that the emotional bond is invasive and irreversible, giving the relationship an ominous and almost supernatural tone.
[Chorus: Miyeon, Minnie]
Miyeon and Minnie express a paradoxical longing—to be chained rather than set free. This desire stems from a craving to be irreplaceable, to be so deeply ingrained in the other’s life that escape becomes impossible. The juxtaposition of cold love and emotional pain suggests that suffering is part of the passion, and they would rather endure it than let go.
[Verse 2: Soyeon, Shuhua]
Soyeon and Shuhua delve into the psychological consequences of this relationship. The voice of their lover echoes endlessly, driving them closer to emotional ruin, yet they embrace the descent. The “maze” and the absence of escape represent the entrapment they willingly accept. Despite the danger, there’s a twisted comfort in being claimed and controlled, emphasizing submission over resistance.
[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]
This repetition reinforces the sinister transformation from love to obsession. Yuqi’s haunting delivery of being a devil made by love accentuates the creeping, uncontrollable intensity of the feelings involved. It strengthens the theme of emotional possession, underscoring that the change is permanent and inescapable.
[Chorus: Minnie, Miyeon]
Returning to the chorus with Minnie and Miyeon again, the lyrics repeat the yearning for bondage as a form of emotional validation. The need to be remembered—even through pain—highlights the fear of being forgotten. This reinforces the idea that love, even when cold or destructive, is still preferable to absence or indifference.
[Outro: Soyeon]
Soyeon’s outro adds a final, intense note to the narrative. She paints a picture of someone who has fully surrendered and now thrives on the obsessive energy of the relationship. The repetition of “can’t run” signals that escape is not only impossible but undesired. Wanting the chains reflects a full embrace of emotional captivity as love’s ultimate expression.
