The 7th Sense

Okay But Then What's the Sixth

일곱 번째 감각 (The 7th Sense) by NCT U

It's been a minute since I took a recommendation that wasn't in English, man. I hope I can find a good translation.

Before we get into that, let's just go ahead and appreciate the sound. It's got some pretty smooth R&B vibes, man, with a solid rap section. I can dig it.

The lyrics reveal a dark story. At first, it seems like it might be the simple heart-broken pining of a man forced to take it slow with a girl who rejects his most forward advances...but it's not really focused on the potential relationship. It mentions some kind of connection through dreams, but it's more about this guy's personal issues.

We don't learn exactly what went down to make him feel so upset, but we hear all about his suffering: guilt keeping him awake, night after night.

Maybe this sounds overdramatic, but listen, it's not. If you want true melodrama, read this.

Also, if dream-clairvoyance is the seventh sense, then what is the sixth sense? We skipped a number. Real talk: there are 7 members of the band NCT, and I'm not unwilling to believe that they chose the number seven for no other reason than this.

Anyway, enjoy.
