A Deeper Dive into the Song: Your Idol Lyrics by Saja Boys Meaning
Intro
This part is meant to look encouraging by the Saja Boys to their fans, asking for a disguised prayer for fortune. Instead, this is a deception to lure their fans into the dark world they have entered (teaming up with the demon king). The lyrics are incorporated with a Latin prayer translated to: “That day of wrath will dissolve you into ashes, Cursed Ones, into eternal flames.”.
Verses
This strengthens the Saja Boys’ deceptive luring. They are feeding into their fans’ obsessions by encouraging them to keep idolizing and giving promises to always be present in their fans’ minds and hearts. Gwi-Ma’s powers of mind control, by causing the fans to self-isolate, are also emphasized here.
In verse one, kkeuteopsi means "endlessly" in English, further emphasizing their goal to keep their fans to keep thinking about them.
In verse two, Unh! bichi naneun fame, gyesok oechyeo means "Uh, shining with my fame, keep on shouting my name" in English. While natji anneun means "endless is my".
Pre-Chorus
The Saja Boys use the fans’ flaws and insecurities by making them believe that they are the only ones who can accept them. This is meant to further entice the fans to stay loyal by promising unconditional acceptance to be able to control them.
Chorus
The Saja Boys’ confidence in their manipulative power is emphasized here. They are claiming their fans’ full submission to them while openly telling the fans they can’t escape.
Bridge
Once the fans have successfully and fully submitted to them, there is no longer an escape. Their souls had already been sold to Gwi-Ma, whose goal is to consume as many souls as possible.
