TANK (占)

NMIXX's song 'TANK' is a powerful anthem of self-assurance and boldness. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is unapologetically themselves, ready to break free from any constraints that have been placed upon them. The repeated use of 'Like a tank, I'ma' emphasizes the idea of being unstoppable and resilient, much like a tank that moves forward without hesitation, crushing any obstacles in its path.

The song begins with the unveiling of a 'veil,' symbolizing the revelation of one's true self. The message is clear: the protagonist is not afraid to show who they are, even if it causes panic or surprise among others. The lyrics suggest a refusal to play by the rules or to be cut down for being different ('No, thanks, 좀 삐뚤다고 자를 대니'). This defiance is further highlighted by the decision to not retreat or deviate from their path, reinforcing the tank metaphor.

The chorus, with its catchy 'Freaky freshy, freshy I'm so' hook, adds a playful and confident tone to the song. It's a declaration of uniqueness and freshness, suggesting that the protagonist is not only strong but also has a distinct style and personality. The bridge, with its imagery of a mirage turning into reality ('You can see it? 피어올라 꿈꿔왔던 mirage'), speaks to the power of dreams and aspirations, and the ability to manifest one's desires into the world. 'TANK' is a celebration of individuality, strength, and the courage to be oneself in the face of adversity.
