SHINee's Taemin immortalizes his story through his latest single titled ' The Unknown Sea '. The B-side on the mini album 'Eternal' was released on Monday, August 19, 2024. This ballad genre song was composed directly by Taemin , who also took part directly in every single on this album.
'The Unknown Sea' has a soft tune and showcases Taemin's heart-fluttering vocals. The lyrics describe a person's journey to a new and unfamiliar place. So many people are surprised, why did he take this decision when previously his life was full of comfort and certainty.
This song can be interpreted as Taemin's journey as a soloist after leaving SM Entertainment and currently continuing his solo activities at Big Planet Made Entertainment. Initially, he debuted and grew for 16 years with a big agency, but now he has to continue his solo career at a small agency.
However, the lyrics of this song can also be relevant to many stories. Where someone who previously lived comfortably now wants to try something different. Although many people call it stupid, but they can only judge from the outside without really knowing what we feel and what will happen in the future.
So there's nothing wrong with trying to live in a different way. There is nothing wrong with taking on a challenge like this. With a lot of careful consideration, there is nothing wrong with getting out of your comfort zone that might give you more opportunities.
But on the other hand, you also have to be ready for all the consequences of this decision. The lyrics of 'The Unknown Sea' opens with step by step of a journey that has been done by someone. After he has traveled very far, his mind is sometimes still filled with anxiety.
Moreover, people call his new decision something stupid. All of this looks like an endless and mysterious sea and sky. No one knows what is in the depths of the sea, and no one can predict what is happening behind the height of the sky.
Listening to 'The Unknown Sea' feels very calming, even before the song was released and was only a teaser. The chorus shows Taemin's vocal power full of emotion. So that the listener can also feel the confusion, anxiety, and fear that he feels from all the uncertainty of his decisions.
