Hot Mess (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer describes a chaotic and overwhelming world that feels dizzying, especially at dawn. Their perception is tilted and confused, as they try to focus on someone who is moving unpredictably. The person’s actions seem both dangerous and oddly amusing, reflecting a sense of imbalance and confusion.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer feels like there’s no way out or hope in sight. In these moments of despair, they almost want to lose control even more, suggesting a desire to embrace the chaos rather than fight it.

[Chorus]
Here, the singer admits they are a “hot mess,” feeling broken and lost in a world that’s spinning out of control. They recognize that the person they are with is not much different, as they both crumble together. The world feels increasingly twisted, and the pain and disarray are becoming clearer with time.

[Post-Chorus]
The singer describes their world as distorted and falling apart. Despite the destruction, they almost welcome it, as if the mess is inevitable and they’re powerless to stop it.

[Verse 2]
The second verse focuses on the physical and emotional strain both the singer and the person they’re with are experiencing. Their bodies are struggling, and their faces reflect the exhaustion. Despite their pain, they both find something almost absurd in their situation. The heat of their emotions leaves deep scars, but for a moment, they are covered up, hiding the damage.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time feels like it’s frozen, and the world around them is slipping further away. In this stillness, there’s a strange sense of quiet, suggesting that both the internal and external chaos have momentarily stopped.

[Chorus]
This chorus reiterates the feelings of crumbling together with someone else in a world that feels increasingly dizzy and out of control. The intensity of the situation grows, and the breakdon becomes more evident, with the mess of their emotions clearer than before.

[Post-Chorus]
Once again, the singer emphasizes that everything is falling apart, but this time, there’s a clearer understanding of the destruction, as they acknowledge how everything is distorted and torn.

[Outro]
The outro briefly repeats the distorted state of the world and their life. The singer seems resigned to the idea of their life being further messed up, indicating an acceptance of the chaos and turmoil they’re experiencing.
