CYNICAL (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She hears a loud ringing that feels like a dramatic scene from a dark movie. She addresses a distant lover who seems cold and unreachable, noticing their blank expression and careless words. She feels cut and confused, torn between hating them for being so detached and still loving them deeply, begging for any small sign that they care, hoping for even the smallest response.

[Chorus]
She keeps asking why he acts so cynical and guarded, telling him to relax and stop hiding behind that face. She wants him to smile warmly and drop the weird, distant attitude, hoping a simple grin will bring them closer and calm her anxiety.

[Verse 2]
She remembers a tender moment when he sang close to her and wonders about a possible rival. Despite doubts and small jealousies, she keeps reassuring herself that her feelings for him remain strong and unchanged.

[Chorus]
She repeats the plea, puzzled and frustrated by his cold, cynical behavior, urging him to loosen up and show a brighter face. Her repeated questions reveal how much she wants simple warmth and normal affection instead of his strange distance and silence.

[Bridge]
She promises that at night they’ll be together, but says the spell ends with the morning. She demands louder smiles and affection now, and her teasing threat hints at darker intensity if he keeps ignoring her pleas.

[Chorus]
She repeats the simple demand for him to stop being so cynical and to smile like she wants, pleading for a softer, clearer reaction.

[Outro]
She admits she wants to possess him emotionally, offering to be both his love and his pain. She declares she’ll chase him if he tries to run, promising to hold on tightly and make him hers no matter what, with fierce, relentless desire.
