[Verse 1: Yeosang, San, Yunho, Seonghwa]
In this verse, the singers express confusion and frustration. They’re trapped in a toxic cycle, where their relationship feels like a war. They can’t understand each other, leading to harsh words that can’t be taken back, hinting at emotional pain and unresolved tension.

[Pre-Chorus: San, Yeosang]
This part reflects selfishness clouding their feelings. They act as though they’ve never loved each other, knowing they’ll regret it but unable to stop, indicating emotional conflict and regret.

[Chorus: Wooyoung, Jongho]
The chorus describes their relationship as a repetitive, destructive dance—like a waltz. Despite the emotional chaos, they keep returning to the same place, caught in a never-ending cycle, as their love feels like a battle they can’t escape.

[Verse 2: Mingi]
Mingi feels helpless in trying to fix things, urging silence and surrender to avoid further conflict. The relationship is consuming them, constantly tearing them apart and pulling them back together. They can’t escape the vicious cycle and are stuck in an endless loop.

[Pre-Chorus: Seonghwa, Yeosang, Jongho]
This pre-chorus repeats the idea of selfishness driving them apart, acting as if love never existed. They’re aware of the inevitable regret but continue down this destructive path, unable to change course.

[Chorus: Wooyoung, Jongho]
The chorus repeats the earlier theme of their relationship being like a waltz—endlessly circling, always returning to the same place. They are locked in a cycle of conflict, their love feeling more like a war than something beautiful.

[Verse 3: Hongjoong, Jongho]
In this verse, the singers acknowledge the emptiness of their actions. Their dance, once meaningful, has become robotic and meaningless. There’s no excitement left, and they mindlessly repeat the same steps, unable to break free from the repetitive cycle.

[Chorus: Wooyoung, Yunho, Jongho]
The final chorus reiterates the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending, destructive loop. Their relationship is a constant dance of conflict, with no resolution, reflecting the ongoing turmoil and emotional exhaustion they feel.

[Outro: Jongho]
The outro is a brief, almost resigned expression, suggesting the endless cycle continues, with no resolution in sight.
