HALAZIA

ATEEZ's 'HALAZIA' is a song that seems to delve into the themes of existential search and the longing for a sense of aliveness in a world that feels increasingly numb and desensitized. The lyrics express a desire for the restoration of passion, freedom, and the ability to experience life fully. The repeated calls to 'halazia' suggest a plea for some form of salvation or awakening, possibly a metaphorical entity or state that can revive the dulled senses of the protagonist.

The song touches on the struggle to feel alive ('
살아있다는 게 뭔지 느낄 수 없어'), indicating a disconnect from the vibrancy of life. This could be a commentary on how modern society often leads to a sense of detachment and a loss of emotional depth. The lyrics also reflect a yearning to experience genuine emotions like love ('듣고 싶어 난
사랑의 숨소리를'), and a call to break free from the constraints that bind the spirit ('묶여 버린 자유 속에'). The mention of a 'small blue bird' that has lost its voice could symbolize the suppression of one's true self or voice in a conformist society.

The song's introspective questions ('Who are you?') suggest a search for identity amidst the chaos of the times ('시대와 미래 사이에 난 어디에 있을까?'). ATEEZ seems to be addressing the internal conflict of finding one's place in the world while staying true to oneself. The call for a 'breath like a breath' and a 'dance like a dance' is a metaphor for authenticity and the desire to live life with genuine expression and sensation. 'HALAZIA' ultimately seems to be a powerful cry for reawakening and reclaiming the essence of life in a cold and indifferent world.
