Like Crazy (Jimin)

“Like Crazy” explores themes of emotional escapism, yearning, and the struggle to reconcile one’s reality with fleeting moments of connection and joy.

Did you know?

“Like Crazy” delves into the desire to escape from pain and reality through fleeting, euphoric moments.

The narrator seeks solace in a night of emotional and physical intensity, evidenced by lines like *”I’d rather be lost in the lights, lost in the lights”* and *”You spin me up high, let me have a taste”.* These suggest a temporary high that feels intoxicating but unsustainable.

The repetitive plea to *”not wake me”* highlights a longing to remain in this dreamlike state, avoiding the inevitable return to reality.

The reflective line, *”거울 속에 비친 나 하염없이 미쳐가 (The me reflected in the mirror endlessly goes crazy),”* reveals self-awareness of the unsustainable nature of this escape.

Ultimately, the song captures the universal conflict between the need for comfort in fleeting happiness and the looming inevitability of facing one’s reality.
