송곳니 — canine tooth / fang
송곳니 literally translates to "canine tooth" or "fang." It's a striking and somewhat unusual word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.
In the context of ENHYPEN's "Given-Taken," the word 송곳니 appears alongside "붉은 눈빛" (red eyes), hinting at a vampiric or supernatural theme. It evokes a sense of mystery and transformation, suggesting the members are embracing a new, perhaps darker, identity or power. This imagery is central to the song's concept of being
"Given-Taken" is ENHYPEN's debut single, and it plays like an origin story. The group sings about waking up to a blinding new light and choosing to chase it anyway, even when it burns.
The song's central question, whether a dream is "given or taken", is really about ownership. The members decide that fate is not something that simply happens to you. You have to reach out and claim it, stepping between two worlds until you make one of them your own.
It's an anthem about crossing a threshold with no way back: doubts and disbelief pile up behind you, but you keep walking toward what you want anyway.
