Placebo (Romanized) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The singer is expressing feelings of emotional distress and how they cope with it by finding something fake, like a placebo, to mask the real effect of their pain.

[Chorus]
The singer reassures the listener that they are always on their side and thinking of them, asking for comfort and to not be left alone. They are uncertain about their position in life, feeling lost and disconnected from their vision. There’s a mix of vulnerability and longing to not be abandoned.

[Post-Chorus]
The repeated mention of “Placebo” refers to the idea of using something fake to feel better or cope, symbolizing the emotional façade they maintain.

[Verse 1]
The singer reflects on the confusion and misunderstanding in their relationship. They express the toxic, self-destructive behavior they feel trapped in and the difficulty of sending meaningful messages. Despite all this, they still hold on to the hope of waiting for the other person, even though there are doubts and deception surrounding the situation.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer believes that tears can be a form of healing, acting as a kind of emotional medicine to deal with their pain.

[Chorus]
In this chorus, the singer continues to reassure the listener of their loyalty and care. They desperately ask for comfort, expressing fear of being abandoned. There’s an underlying sense of confusion and frustration, as they feel disconnected from their true path and identity.

[Post-Chorus]
The mention of “Placebo” again highlights the emotional coping mechanisms the singer uses to deal with the overwhelming feelings, trying to fake emotional stability.

[Interlude]
The interlude is a brief, energetic declaration by the group, emphasizing their readiness to show what they are capable of and reaffirming their identity as ZEROBASEONE.

[Verse 2]
This verse highlights the singer’s individuality in the K-pop world, feeling the pressure of time and expectations. They reflect on their dreams, the struggles ahead, and the way their career is unfolding. Despite the challenges, the singer expresses a sense of confidence in themselves and their group, showing determination and commitment to their position and their path.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, tears are seen as a form of emotional healing, suggesting that the singer continues to struggle but seeks solace in their own vulnerability.

[Chorus]
The singer once again emphasizes their emotional dependence on the other person, expressing their fears of losing them. They are asking for reassurance, comfort, and connection, while still grappling with their confusion about their personal vision and life path.

[Post-Chorus]
The “Placebo” repetition remains, emphasizing how the singer’s emotional struggles are treated with temporary fixes, like a placebo, instead of addressing the real issues.

[Outro]
The outro reveals the singer’s deep fear of being a burden or weakness to the other person. They want the other person to be happy and fulfilled, even if it means letting go. There’s a recognition that they might be creating a false sense of comfort (the placebo effect), but they continue to rely on their own emotional responses, like tears, for healing.
