Poet Artist (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: All]
This part sets the mood with confidence. They’re proudly saying they are both poets and artists—creators who express deep feelings and beauty. It’s like a chant that shows they know who they are and want others to see that too.

[Verse 1: Taemin, Onew, Minho, Key]
Here, they’re talking to someone special, asking why that person took so long to come into their life. There’s a playful frustration, like missing someone deeply. They describe that person as beautiful and full of light, almost like a dream or a piece of art. Their beauty is so overwhelming it’s exhausting, but in a good, emotional way.

[Pre-Chorus: Onew, Key, Key & Onew, *Minho*]
This part uses poetic visuals like the sky, lips, and eyes to show an intimate, almost magical connection. It feels like time slows down when their hands touch. They ask not to be boxed in or misunderstood—they want to be seen for who they truly are, not judged by labels.

[Chorus: All]
The energy here picks up. They’re inviting everyone to come together, enjoy the moment, and not hold back. The wind symbolizes a fresh, freeing vibe, like dancing or celebrating life. It’s a reminder to live fully and loudly, just like the song’s rhythm.

[Post-Chorus: All]
This is a strong repeat of their identity. They’re owning the titles of poet and artist again, reinforcing their pride and purpose.

[Verse 2: Onew, Minho]
They’re saying there’s no barrier between them and this person. They don’t care what others think and just want to share real reactions and emotions. Without them, everything feels empty and boring, like a blank sheet. It shows how much life and color this connection brings.

[Pre-Chorus: Key, Taemin, Taemin & Key, *Onew*]
Similar to the earlier pre-chorus, this part uses dreamy visuals again—sky, lips, eyes. It shows closeness and a moment of touch that feels almost magical. They’re asking again not to be defined by limits or assumptions.

[Chorus: All]
Once again, they’re encouraging togetherness and energy. It’s about being fully present and enjoying the moment. The wind returns as a symbol of natural, joyful movement. They’re reminding everyone to sing louder, live brighter, and be in sync with them.

[Bridge: Minho, Taemin, Key, Onew, *Onew & Key*]
This part gets more personal and creative. They’re chasing new ideas, new expressions. No box or frame can hold their spirit. They want to expand their art, their voice, their rhythm—stretching beyond limits. It’s about growth, freedom, and constant change as artists.

[Interlude]
This small break gives a breath between high-energy parts, letting the emotion sink in before the final chorus.

[Chorus: All, Taemin, Onew, Minho]
This chorus keeps the same message but feels even more emotional and celebratory. It’s like a final gathering—bringing people together, sharing warmth and joy. The wind is back again, moving things gently and beautifully. Everything builds up louder and stronger here.

[Post-Chorus: All]
They finish by echoing their identity with power. They’re poets, they’re artists, and they want the world to know it. It’s a bold close, repeating it with pride and energy.
