SEESAW Lyrics (English Translation) – TWICE

SEESAW (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, Sana, Dahyun]
The singer feels really curious about someone, and this curiosity makes her feel weak but also pulls her closer again and again. She didn’t plan to fall for this person, but her feelings are too strong to hold back. She really wants a chance to get to know everything about them. Even though she tries to act like she doesn’t care to confuse them, she notices that they’re always busy or hiding something, but won’t say what it is. She’s wondering why they keep their distance and don’t open up.

[Chorus: Jihyo, Mina, Nayeon, Jeongyeon]
Both people are hiding their true feelings and not giving each other space to be honest. They both want something more, and this creates a back-and-forth feeling like a seesaw, full of exciting but confusing emotions. The heartbeat and secrets they keep are getting stronger, and one person doesn’t realize they’ve already lost their battle with love. They’re both trying to hold onto their feelings without letting go even for a moment, sharing a secret that’s hard to accept. The other person hasn’t noticed yet, but they’re already caught up in these feelings.

[Verse 2: Dahyun, Momo, Jeongyeon, Jeongyeon & Momo]
It’s obvious now that one person is hiding their feelings, but the other person can see right through it. The hiding makes everything feel boring and frustrating. If the person moves or shows their real emotions, they might break down, but they keep pretending everything is fine, like they’re blacking out from the truth. The other person urges them to stay strong and face the feelings because they know all the secrets being kept. They’re tired of all the hiding and lying, and it feels like it’s too much to handle.

[Chorus: Sana, Tzuyu, Mina, Chaeyoung]
Again, both are hiding their feelings, not letting the other have any room to be open. They both want each other badly, and this creates an emotional ups and downs, like a thrilling seesaw between just the two of them. The secret feelings and fast heartbeat keep growing stronger, even though one person still doesn’t realize they’ve lost to love already. They keep holding on, not willing to let go for even a moment, sharing a secret that’s tough to accept but both can sense. Only one person hasn’t figured it out yet.

[Bridge: Nayeon, Momo, Jihyo]
One person makes the other believe they belong to them completely, which creates a confusing and tempting feeling. There’s a warning inside the mind telling them to be careful, but the moment one person lowers their guard, the other is ready to catch them emotionally. This back-and-forth teasing makes things intense and exciting. It feels like a game where letting down your defenses means you get caught, and the tension builds between wanting each other and being careful.

[Chorus: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Mina]
The hiding and keeping feelings secret continues, not allowing any space to be honest with each other. Both want the same thing, and it creates a thrilling emotional seesaw that’s hard to control. The heartbeat grows louder with every secret kept, and one person still doesn’t realize they’ve already lost their heart. Neither is willing to let go, holding on tightly to their secret feelings. The tension and excitement between the two build up, making it difficult to accept what’s really happening, even though both sense it clearly.
