F.I.L.A (Fall in Love Again)
TWICE
The Enchanting Cycle of Love and Doubt
TWICE's song "F.I.L.A (Fall in Love Again)" captures the complex emotions of falling back into love, possibly with an ex-lover or a recurring crush. The lyrics convey a sense of enchantment mixed with hesitation, as the protagonist remembers the initial moment of attraction and feels the old feelings reigniting. The repeated phrase "fall in love again" suggests a cycle of emotions, where past love is rekindled, bringing both excitement and uncertainty.
The song's narrative unfolds with the protagonist caught in a whirlwind of emotions, symbolized by the imagery of being unable to cross a precarious bridge ('machi witaeroun dari wieseo'). This metaphor could represent the fear of getting hurt or the challenges in reconnecting with someone. The mention of small actions ('neoui jageun haengdong hanakkaji') indicates that even the slightest gestures from the other person are enough to stir up feelings, highlighting the protagonist's vulnerability.
Despite the doubts expressed in the lyrics ('deoneun japigin sileo', meaning 'I don't want to hold on anymore'), the chorus's upbeat and catchy 'La-la-la' hook contrasts with the verses' hesitance, suggesting an irresistible pull towards love. TWICE, known for their infectious pop melodies and relatable lyrics, encapsulates the push-and-pull dynamic of love that is hard to let go, even when reason suggests otherwise. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the confusion and allure of falling in love again with someone from their past.
