𝟎𝟎𝟎. 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

yeah, feel like i'm in paradise
yeah, feel like i'm in paradise
purchasing pleasures
in selling hours of dross,
here
in the land of rebel pow'rs,
gloriously decorated.
an invitation calls to us
from the carnival of the dazzling night.
so we beat on the door of this flipped world
brought here by fate
whether the harvest feast of light
or festival of blood
time harmonizes laughs and screams.
death once dead, there's no dying then
so we gladly swallow time like it's our last breath.
yeah
feel like i'm in paradise
yeah
feel like i'm in paradise
a dizzying flicker, a light that blinds and deceives,
and from the great beyond
that voice rings out again.
here, come inside the castle.
take everything.

𝟎𝟎𝟏. 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐤-𝐝𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐝

beautiful and brilliant
my glittering vision is a diamond
in a world with no rules
everything's been turned upside down

turning up the party, now
my feet up in the sky, wow
people going ha ha, high
ringing in my ears is la la, loud

it's blinding, baby
his light, shining

honestly i'm scared
( background vocals )
the world's drunk in a swirling glass
at the edge is my burning heart
( background vocals )
but i just wanna stay

i feel it, my head's in a daze daze daze
i'm addicted, i replay play play
the way you want it
go as far as you can to reach it
trapped in the carnival wow wow

my heart's again in a daze daze daze
can't control my body dance dance dance
this sweet scent
fangs glowing red
revel in it, this carnival wow wow

mmm call me out from across the line
everything changes, everything crumbles
( background vocals )
i reach past the locked door
( background vocals )
pain welcomes me, a feast of thirst
( background vocals )

honestly i'm scared
( background vocals )
my reflection in the mirror is unfamiliar
( background vocals )
the pitiful truth behind this mask
( background vocals )
but i never escape

i feel it, my head's in a daze daze daze
i'm addicted, i replay play play
the way you want it
go as far as you can to reach it
trapped in the carnival wow wow

my heart's again in a daze daze daze
can't control my body dance dance dance
this sweet scent
fangs glowing red
revel in it, this carnival wow wow

flames of a torch, ah

i feel it, my head's in a daze daze daze
i'm addicted, i replay play play

𝟎𝟎𝟐. 𝐅𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑

oh, give me fever

the icy eyes, those red eyes
breaking me in two, they shake me
when i stand in front of you who's sitting on a throne,
the fire blazes up in me

what i gotta do, the hot hand
even when it looks for you, i cannot have it
i can't touch you, never
but i get attracted to you, i want you the more it hurts

please stop, please don't
please stop, please don't
( ah )

my body burns because of you,
my heart is thirsty because of you,
like a fever fever fever
i want to hug you, i want to hug you
even when i push you away,
it burns in me.
even when it becomes ashes,
the fire sparks again
like a fever fever fever,
i want to suffer from you,
i want to suffer from you

don't stop! stop
yes all day, all day burn
please stop! stop
my sun,
stop,
baby, oh baby

please do something about me,
do something about me
please let me go,
please hug me,
please let me go,
please hug me

my body burns because of you
my heart is thirsty because of you
like a fever fever fever
i want to hug you,
i want to hug you

even when i push you away, it burns in me
even when it becomes ashes, the fire sparks again
like a fever fever fever
i want to suffer from you
i want to suffer from you

my body burns because of you
my heart is thirsty because of you
like a fever fever fever
i want to hug you
i want to hug you

even when i push you away,
it burns in me
even when it becomes ashes,
the fire sparks again
like a fever fever fever
i want to suffer from you
i want to suffer from you

𝟎𝟎𝟑. 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞

feeling for the first time
after meeting you, my heart kept feeling
strange, strange

this feeling that i don't like
i feel awkward seeing myself you changed after
meeting you oh baby

in a world made of plastic
full of price tags
giving 1 to get 1
it's a given here

the heart is for sale
love for sale, too

the world that will be ruined like this
i had no expectations
you taught me answers that can't be obtained
by counting

a price tag on a cold heart
the unfamiliar warmth that took it off
i have you
you're not, you're not for sale
you're not for sale
i can't sell it
i can't live

feeling for the first time
after meeting you, my heart keep feeling
strange, strange
this feeling that i don't like
i feel awkward seeing myself you changed after meeting you oh baby

you don't have to give back anything
i want to give you everything
i think that the only thing that has been ruined
is me

but it's still good
my heart tells me

the world that will be ruined like this
i had no expectations
you taught me answers that can't be obtained by counting

a price tag on a cold heart
the unfamiliar warmth that took it off
i have you
you're not, you're not for sale
you're not for sale
i can't sell it
i can't live

𝟎𝟎𝟒. 별안간 (𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩)

they can't leave me alone
a notification just popped up
i wish for a world that's quiet
all day long, all day long
buzzes again ( buzzes again )

i become the center of provocative gossip
i don't understand, don't understand
it's hot, i'm tired of this burning fame
forget it, be quiet (oh)

but what is all this
it makes sense, the thirst for me
i suddenly opened my eyes
the center of the topic ( hoo, ha )

i am mixed up once again
the world suddenly turned upside down
mixed up, is that him?
i only tell my own stories
yet, i became the main character without even knowing
gossip gossip (oh)
mixed up, leave me alone
all day mixed up, mixed up, oh, oh

in a loud storm
i'm alone alone
a meaningless word catches fire and spreads
i can't control it ( no more )

i can't do it my way, it's already out of control
i don't understand, don't understand
even if i'm quiet, questions about me continue
and it's like
there seems to be no end

that only turned to one side
there's no daily life, suddenly turned over
(everything turned over)
violating the boundaries
maybe it's destiny
(i won't stop)

mixed up, it's started again
the world suddenly turned upside down
mixed up, is that him?
i only tell my own stories
yet, i became the main character without even knowing
gossip gossip (oh)
mixed up, leave me alone
all day mixed up, mixed up, oh, oh

i am dizzy
even if i hide it, it's so loud
( no matter how much i hide )
i always stand in the center of the issue
suddenly, the most special human being in the world
( even if i just breathe )
i am dizzy
it's loud even if i conceal it
( it's all my fault )
i'm standing at the center of the issue again
yes i am the most special human being in the world

mixed up, i'll enjoy it again
turn the world upside down suddenly
mixed up, that's him
i'll show you, look around carefully, this is me
i became the main character without even knowing
gossip gossip
mixed up, leave me alone
all day mixed up, mixed up, oh, oh

𝟎𝟎𝟓. 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐨 : 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞

it's the riptide,
the grain of a strong gale
one ridge of a rugged universe

feet leave no prints
and vision is without sight
and yet when most i wink
then do mine eyes best see the unknown

as we commit our bodies
we become absorbed
multiple dimensions wait for us

there might be a world
where day and night coexist
beside an ornamental flower
a tree stretches out its hideous branch

the perfectly square mirror revels a twisted scene
in that dream,
i face a completely different me
thy fair imperfect shade
through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay

and when we wake at this tunnel's end
what vision awaits?

写真 ┆ 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 ༄

衣装 ┆ 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗙𝗜𝗧𝗦 ༄

( drunk-dazed performances )

( fever + not for sale performances )

观念 ┆ 𝐄𝐑𝐀 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 ༄

➜ NaRi is the one to get invited to
the party, though none of the boys
know who invited her— or so they think.

➜ her guardian angel side is still
present, though has rapidly began to
decay as her flesh's burning desires have
become too strong to handle— hence why
all the boys are singing to NaRi in fever.

➜ this is also shown in her lyrics,
seeing as she's tempting the boys
to follow after her despite their
repeated resistance.

➜ "the icy eyes, those red eyes",
"when i stand in front of you who's sitting on a throne, the fire blazes up in me" & all other
lyrics showing the boys attempting to keep
their guards up against something tempting
in both drunk-dazed & fever are them trying
to fight against the urge to give into NaRi's
spell.

➜ other lyrics revealed her own possession,
which ultimately led her to sacrificing
herself in order for the boys to stay together.
though she feels no resentment towards that
decision, it's still difficult to deal with.

联机 ┆ 𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 ༄

➜ NaRi getting her first ENHYPEN
songwriting & producing credits!
( mixed-up, parts of fever & fever )

➜ her concept photos in the princess
dress!!!! quite literally broke the internet.

➜ "NaRi brainrot" trending everytime
they performed fever, since she mainly
wore leather and skirts.

➜ her iconic skunk hair selfie
with RenJun.

➜  mixed up lyrics went viral??

➜ her scene with HeeSeung in the
fever MV.

❥ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐈'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 ⌇

❝ i really liked getting more credit for the studio time i put in for this album. i actually had the best for fever already saved from like ... two years ago? i think? but yeah. i was going through my old files with yoon-hyung and he heard it and told me to PD nim about potentially using it for a song in the future and he really liked it! and i also got credits for the background vocals on every song with seungie hyung.. that's also cool! ❞

❝ all my hyungs get mad at some of my stage outfits ... they say they're 'too revealing' and that im 'too young to be wearing something like that' ... which i mean, they're right.. but i don't see the problem with them
>:( ❞

❝ my favorite song is fever. ❞

❝ fever supremacy. ❞

❝ i screamed when i watched HeeSeung-hyungie filming for fever. actually screamed. ❞

❝ heeseungie hyung looked so handsome. wow. ❞

*looks at final lyrics for not for sale* ❝ oh? who went through my lyric notes? some of these are mine! ❞ *bangpd slowly walking out of room* *nari chases him*
