Taste Lyrics Translation Stray Kids | Maxident
The poet writes about red roses that drive someone crazy with their scent. He mentions hidden thorns behind beauty, advising to enjoy the moment without testing limits. The line ‘Don’t make me bad, I’m addicted to you’ captures this push and pull perfectly.
