Since its release, the meaning behind the lyrics of the song "Loser" have come under close scrutiny. G-Dragon’s lyrics inspire people, and deeper meaning is always sought. The rapper/lyricist has finally come out and explained the meaning of his lyrics in an interview that can be found on the Big Bang’s record label.
It is rare for the elusive rapper to be so forthright while carefully managed, (the interview was, after al1, published on the band’s record label.) it was a rare insight into G-Dragon’s creative process:
“What we wanted to say was that not only Big Bang but also all the famous people who stand under the spotlight in front of the public are just human beings. All these people are the same humans who get their feelings hurt some times and smile some times. It’s just that those people have a different job. We ourselves have given up some things in our lives because our job is singer. I think the lyrics were written based on our own experiences”.
However, G-Dragon couldn’t help but murky the waters a little as well:
“It could also be heard as a light love song,” G-Dragon continued. "However, we wanted to offer a theme with this song, so we drew a bigger picture. Somebody may not have a friend and somebody may not have love, you know? Everyone lives in a different situation. Depending on how you accept it, this song could be your story."
As much as the band enjoys entertaining and thrilling its multitude of fans with its music, the members of Big Bang also have begun to explore the world around them through their music. No longer boys, the band’s lyrics and music have become a reflection of the journey into adulthood each one is taking.
As always, drop us a line and tell us what you think.
