Through lively beats and whimsical lyrics, “Trampoline” captures themes of freedom, resilience, and the joy of overcoming life’s challenges. Billie expertly showcases their vocals with harmonies blended seamlessly over a contemporary K-pop track infused with jazz elements.
“Bluerose”
Billlie frames the pursuit of dreams as a delicate dance between reality and fantasy in “Bluerose.”In the lyrics, the “bluerose” symbolizes something rare and extraordinary—a dream that is both elusive and captivating. This imagery allows listeners to reflect on their dreams and the bittersweet nature of chasing after something beautiful yet possibly unattainable.
“BTTB (Back to the Basics)”
“BTTB (Back to the Basics)” is about empowerment, sisterhood, and returning to one’s origins. The song embraces the concept of resilience and encourages listeners to be bold in their pursuits while fostering connections with friends. Billlie invites everyone to embrace their journeys and the strength they find in each other, championing the beauty of being “B’rave and wild.”
“shame”
“Shame” explores themes of vulnerability, self-identity, and the struggle of societal expectations. The lyrics portray a journey of self-acceptance and the desire to break free from the facade that comes with societal pressures. The group encourages the listeners to prioritize their true selves and find excitement in the journey, emphasizing that true beauty lies in embracing every part of oneself, including the flaws.
“of dream diary ~ etching mémoires of midnight rêverie“
“Of Dream Diary ~ Etching Mémoires of Midnight Rêverie” concludes the album as Billlie tours through self-discovery through dreams and introspection.
