Seventeen’s Don’t Wanna Cry and Lie Again were dating and you cannot convince me otherwise - a theory
It’s THEORY TIME, you little rays of sunshine~
In today’s episode: Seventeen’s Don’t Wanna Cry and Lie Again.
Actual theorizing at the end of the post, ‘cause I don’t want to scare y’all with too much text to read before getting to the actual songs. Just read what follows as if it is a conversation between two people.
[Don't Wanna Cry
{Lie Again
[Because I love you, because saying I love you isn't enough. No matter what I say. Where did you go, leaving me who cherished only you? (almost as if asking if the other person left because no matter what the MC in DWC said they couldn't convey their love properly)
{Because I love you, because saying I love you isn't enough, I let you go.
[Did you go far away because you don't like me anymore?
{I don't like you. I've come to not like you. I don't want to see you anymore. Please turn and go back to where you originally were, to the place where I am not. So please don't love me. Only pain will remain anyway.
[Don't play around, I know you're there. I feel like you'll appear, so I wait aimlessly. I need to go find you. If I cry now, I might not be able to see you, so I don't want to cry even if I have a lot of tears.
{Please be fooled by whatever words, even when you know how awkward I am being right now. Turn a blind eye, turn your back and walk away.
[The familiar road feels unfamiliar, asking me again if this is the road I know (They sense that something is off about the other person who they know so well. They aren't acting like themselves, their behavior unfamiliar, so do they really mean it?)
{If there is nothing more painful than a painful love, then turn back before even more painful memories remain.
[Could that person be looking for me? I am looking for you right now.
{Parting with longing is probably less painful than a tearful meeting.
[I'm okay (I'm not okay), I don't want to see you (I miss you so much). I have to say these lies that I don't even believe, because my heart won't even listen to these words like I had thought it would. (they start pretending that they are okay without the other, telling themselves it's fine even while knowing it isn't. That they can convince their heart with these words while knowing they don't mean them.)
{I lie again. These words aren't the truth, these words I don't want to say.
[Come back. How can I live as one when half of me is gone?
{We changed, we wanted more. I hurt you with words that I didn't mean. Even as I need you every day, I push you away knowing that I will come to regret it.
[When we see each other again I don't want to cry.
