So Cynical (Badum) (Romanized) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
A rhythmic heartbeat sound representing excitement, anticipation, and growing emotions.

[Verse 1]
The singer pretends not to care but wonders why the other person is acting distant. They realize their heart is racing, yet love feels unreal—something they’ve only heard about but never truly experienced.

[Pre-Chorus]
They tap nervously, trying to figure out their emotions. They wonder why they both try to hide their feelings when it’s obvious. Saying “I like you” feels embarrassing and awkward, but if they hesitate too long, they might lose their chance. Doubts and fears don’t matter—what matters is this moment.

[Chorus]
They finally admit they want love and don’t want to pretend anymore. Both of them clearly feel the same way, so why keep holding back? Their hearts are knocking loudly, making it impossible to ignore. It’s time to embrace their feelings instead of fearing them.

[Verse 2]
They think back to the past when they were scared of love. They were afraid of getting hurt and felt uncertain, but they don’t want to run away anymore. They urge the other person to stop avoiding the decision and face their feelings together.

[Pre-Chorus]
They enjoy playing it cool, but this time, things are different. They know their connection is real, yet expressing it feels difficult. Before it’s too late, they want to stop overthinking. Love can be overwhelming, but they don’t want hesitation to ruin everything.

[Chorus]
Again, they express their desire for love and frustration with pretending otherwise. They both know what they want, so why hesitate? Their fast-beating hearts prove their feelings are real. They encourage each other to stop being afraid and just embrace what’s already there between them.

[Post-Chorus]
They’re tired of being so cynical about love. If their hearts are racing, then there’s no point in denying their emotions. It’s time to stop doubting and let their connection shine.
