Dolphin

Oh My Girl's song 'Dolphin' captures the whimsical and unpredictable nature of love through vivid imagery and playful metaphors. The lyrics describe a serendipitous encounter with someone who makes the protagonist's heart flutter, much like the sudden appearance of a dolphin in the ocean. The timing of these encounters is often inconvenient, catching the protagonist off guard, which adds to the charm and excitement of the experience. The repeated phrase '또 물보라를 일으켜' (which translates to 'stirring up the water again') symbolizes the emotional turbulence and excitement that this person brings into the protagonist's life.

The song's chorus, filled with the catchy 'Da-da-da-da' refrain, mimics the playful and carefree nature of dolphins, further emphasizing the lighthearted and spontaneous feelings of love. The protagonist's attempts to hide or compose themselves are futile, as the presence of this person always manages to stir up their emotions, much like how a dolphin's playful splash disrupts the calm sea. This metaphor beautifully captures the essence of unexpected love and the joy it brings, despite the chaos it may cause.

In the bridge, the protagonist likens their feelings to surfing on waves, highlighting the exhilarating and sometimes overwhelming nature of their emotions. The imagery of drawing hearts and creating waves suggests a sense of playfulness and flirtation, indicating that the protagonist is deeply infatuated but also enjoys the thrill of these encounters. The song's upbeat tempo and cheerful melody complement the lyrics, creating a feel-good anthem about the unpredictable and joyous nature of love.
