“On days that my heart pounds
incoherently, I could selfishly confess to you, but what would happen after
that? That’s what I’m scared of.” –SHINee, Aside [translated lyrics]
Dalam bagian pertama dari album
ketiga SHINee, “Chapter 1. Dream Girl – The Misconceptions of You”, terdapat
sebuah lagu bertajuk “Aside”. Album dan lagu ini dirilis pada tanggal 19
Februari 2013, dengan lagu “Aside” digunakan sebagai promotional single bersama dengan title track “Dream Girl” dan second
lead single “Beautiful”. Lagu retro
pop dengan medium tempo ini
diciptakan dan diproduksi oleh produser musik anggota dari tim komposer
Sweetune, Hwang Hyun. Rapper SHINee, Minho , juga turut menulis lirik untuk bagian rap dalam lagu manis ini. Masih membawa
konsep albumnya sendiri mengenai miskonsepsi diri atas orang lain, lirik lagu
“Aside” menggunakan dramatic technique
point of view, yaitu monolog diri di mana tidak ada karakter lain yang
sanggup mendengar apa yang dikatakan oleh karakter utama. Monolog itu hanya
sanggup didengar oleh dirinya dan penonton.
More or less, “Aside” tells
about the feeling when we deeply in love with someone, but we don’t have the courage to tell them. Itulah mengapa lirik
lagu ini memakai POV dengan dramatic
technique. Lagu ini menggambarkan perasaan yang ‘tersingkirkan’, rasa cinta
yang ‘terasingkan’, rasa sayang yang ‘terpendam’. There’s a saying that the most painful love is the one that left unsaid.
And indeed, it’s the hardest thing to do to put our feeling aside when it’s too
deep. But as humans, what could we do when the time just isn’t
right? What else could we do when the
one that we love is already belong to someone else? As our feeling and expectation grow bigger, he/she keeps getting further. As
hard as we try to hide our feelings and keep it aside, the pain keeps getting deeper. “Right
now, there are two dazzling people,
and me who is poorly acting. I try to scold myself for being such a fool,
but my heart is still heading toward you.”
Berdasarkan situs portal musik
Gaon, “Aside” merupakan lagu kedua terbanyak yang diunduh dalam album “The
Misconceptions of You” setelah lead song
“Dream Girl”. Lagu ini dipertunjukkan secara live oleh SHINee pada comeback
stage mereka dalam berbagai program acara musik televisi di Korea Selatan. Terlepas
dari berbagai tanggapan para kritikus musik atas lagu ini, baik positif maupun
negatif, I personally love this song.
“Aside” memberikan nuansa pop retro khas SHINee, dan merupakan sebuah track yang standout dalam album ini. Di tengah lagu-lagu bertempo upbeat dalam album ini, “Aside” seolah
menawarkan oase yang memberikan warna tersendiri dan sanggup membuat para
pendengarnya rehat sejenak dari musik electro
pop yang menghentak-hentak di sepanjang album. This song is refreshment and indeed is one of their best!
“But some day, I want to put my
heart into it, and tell you this long-time story as I hold you in my arms.”
–SHINee, Aside [translated lyrics]
