CHILL Lyrics – TEMPEST (템페스트)

CHILL Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: LEW]
The song starts softly, asking the listener to pause and pay attention. It sets a calm and reflective tone, like a quiet moment before sharing something real and honest about life’s struggles and finding peace within them.

[Verse 1: LEW, Taerae]
This part talks about being in your twenties and feeling like you have to handle everything on your own. Life feels tough, no one seems to lend a hand, and the world tells you to give up before even starting. But despite the pressure and doubt, there’s a quiet determination to keep going and not let negativity win.

[Pre-Chorus: Hanbin & Hyeongseop, Hyeongseop]
Here, they remind themselves that it’s okay to feel tired sometimes. Life can be hard, but instead of blaming yourself, just take a break and hold on to someone’s support for comfort.

[Chorus: Hyuk, All]
This part encourages letting go of sadness and pressure. It’s okay to rest and not rush things. Life doesn’t have to be a constant fight—breathe, slow down, and when you’re ready, rise again with a calm and steady heart.

[Post-Chorus: All, Eunchan]
The repeated “chill” is like a mantra, reminding you to stay relaxed even when things feel messy. It’s about finding peace in chaos and trusting that slowing down doesn’t mean giving up—it’s just part of moving forward.

[Verse 2: Taerae, LEW]
This section shows feelings of insecurity and comparison. Sometimes, everyone else seems successful while you feel small or incomplete. It describes nights spent crying, believing time will heal, and learning to look back on past struggles with a sense of growth rather than regret.

[Pre-Chorus: Hanbin & Hyeongseop, Hanbin]
Once again, it’s a gentle reminder not to be too hard on yourself. Everyone feels down sometimes, and all you need is a short pause and a helping hand to keep going.

[Chorus: Hyuk, LEW, All]
This version of the chorus deepens the message of self-kindness. It says you don’t have to hide your tears or push too hard. Take your time, breathe, and when you’re ready, lift yourself up again. Life is about balance—knowing when to rest and when to rise.

[Post-Chorus: All, Eunchan, Hyuk]
The repetition of “chill” becomes more powerful here, like an anthem for staying calm through ups and downs. It celebrates letting go of stress and embracing peace. No matter how heavy things feel, the song tells you to keep your cool, trust yourself, and take life one step at a time with a relaxed mindset.

[Outro: LEW & Taerae, All]
The ending feels uplifting and motivational. It’s a call to stand back up after falling, shake off the worries, and move forward with new energy. Even when life tests you, the message stays the same—pause, breathe, and just keep it chill.
