숨바꼭질 (Hush) Lyrics Translation Ive | Revive+
The songwriter describes a quiet game of hide-and-seek to reach someone hiding their pain. A key line translates to, ‘I am gently knocking on the door of your closed heart.’ IVE uses physical details like a trembling lip and a fast heartbeat to show vulnerability giving way to trust.
