미슐랭 CYPHER (MICHELIN CYPHER) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, Epik High presents themselves as three superstars, highlighting their collective greatness. It’s a playful yet bold declaration that they are like Michelin-starred chefs, delivering top-quality art as a trio.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Tablo emphasizes Epik High’s unique, elevated style in the music industry. They’ve set a new standard, telling others to catch up. He boasts about their musical skill and marketing, even calling it art. Tablo compares their creativity to Shakespeare, and when people question if art can pay the bills, he confidently replies “Yes.” It’s a mix of confidence, skill, and swagger.

[Verse 2]
Mithra Jin criticizes those who mindlessly follow trends and release shallow, superficial music. He points out that many people are preoccupied with their phones and empty albums, while Epik High’s music makes real impact. He highlights that their missteps (or “dark history”) still gain attention, while others fail to make a mark. He advises others to learn how to stand tall before trying to compete with them. It’s about depth, maturity, and real substance in music.

[Chorus]
The chorus proudly compares Epik High to Michelin-starred chefs, reinforcing the idea that they’re at the top of their game. They call themselves kings and gods, boasting about their ability to deliver excellence consistently, much like a 3-star Michelin restaurant.

[Verse 3]
In this verse, Mithra Jin explains that Epik High is always aiming for higher ground, never settling for past successes. They continue to reinvent themselves, rising to the impossible expectations of their fans. Using the Burj Khalifa as a metaphor for the elevated expectations, he states that they’ve surpassed all limits and embrace all genres of music. Their DNA, he claims, is different from others, as they started at the top, unlike most who climb from the bottom.

[Verse 4]
Tablo dismisses material success like watches and chains, saying his true victory lies in dominating the metaphorical food chain of the music world. He refuses to slow down and takes on critics head-on, comparing his resilience to Michael Jordan’s famous “Flu Game.” Tablo’s energy stays high even in tough times, and he imagines that his haters, including future generations, will continue to be envious and bitter over his success.

[Chorus]
Again, the chorus reinforces Epik High’s position at the top, with the metaphor of being like Michelin-starred chefs. They pride themselves on being unmatched in quality, calling themselves kings and gods who produce only top-tier music.

[Refrain]
The refrain celebrates Epik High’s life and success, saying that life “tastes so good.” They revel in how enjoyable their journey has been, despite facing occasional bitterness or struggles. Their accomplishments and experiences are not just about following a formula (“recipe”), but about crafting a life and career that is uniquely theirs. This refrain reflects joy, confidence, and an appreciation for both the good and bad in life, all wrapped up in success.
