Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife is a track themed around “I wish for what is forbidden to me.” It uses Jersey Club-style rhythms to present the weighty concept of “taboo” in a compelling way. LE SSERAFIM assigns a meaning of growth to breaking taboos and stepping into a new world. The chorus line “I’m a mess” from the ANTIFRAGILE album trailer is cleverly incorporated, adding both familiarity and freshness to the song.

LE SSERAFIM “Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife” Lyrics

Hangul

I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess in distress
but we’re still the best dressed
Fearless say yes, we don’t dress to impress

괜찮단다 뭐를 해도
거짓말인 걸 난 알아
괜찮겠지 뭘 해도
착한 얼굴에 네 말 잘 들을 땐
괜찮지 않아 그런 건
내 룰은 나만 정할래 yeah
볼 거야 금지된 걸
Never hold back 더 자유롭게

Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
Boom boom now
Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess in distress
but we’re still the best dressed
Fearless say yes, we don’t dress to impress

웃어 웃어 더 인형이 되렴
덮어 덮어 다 감정 따윈 다
싫어 싫어 난 인형이 아냐
찡그린대도 그것도 나야
보지 말라 보고 파 날 둘러싼 이 금기들
그날의 이브처럼
Take it on the chain I know I like that

Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
Boom boom now
Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

What you waiting for?
이게 타락이면 we fall fall fall
What you looking for?
원한다면 now we fall we fall we fall

Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

Boom boom boom 내 심장이 뛰네
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

Translation

I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess in distress
but we’re still the best dressed
Fearless say yes, we don’t dress to impress

It’s okay whatever you do
I know it’s all a lie
It’s fine whatever I do
When I listen to you with an obedient face
Things like that are not okay
I’m the only one that sets my rules yeah
Imma see the forbidden
Never hold back more freely

Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
Boom boom now
Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom

(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom

I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess mess mess mess mess mess mess
I’m a mess in distress
but we’re still the best dressed
Fearless say yes, we don’t dress to impress

Smile smile be a doll a little more
Conceal conceal all your emotions
No no I’m not a doll
Even if I frown that’s me
Don’t look wanna look, these taboos all around me
Like Eve that day
Take it on the chain I know I like that

Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
Boom boom now
Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
(Push it) I wish for what’s forbidden
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

What you waiting for?
If this is a downfall we fall fall fall
What you looking for
If you want now we fall we fall we fall

Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom
Boom boom now
Boom boom boom my heart’s beating
Get it like boom boom boom
Get it like boom boom boom

Girl wanna have fun

LE SSERAFIM “Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife” Meaning

“Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife” is a bold anthem that reinterprets the stories of three legendary women: Eve, Psyche, and Bluebeard’s wife, who defied the rules imposed on them. While their curiosity led to consequences in their respective myths, the song reframes their narratives as symbols of rebellion and self-discovery. Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, Psyche, who opened Persephone’s box, and Bluebeard’s wife, who uncovered a dark secret, all challenge societal constraints, making their stories a fitting metaphor for empowerment.

By incorporating these figures, the song ties into the overarching theme of “UNFORGIVEN,” emphasizing how these women may not have been forgiven by their societies, but in revealing the truth, they took control of their own fates. With energetic Jersey Club rhythms and striking lyricism, “Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s Wife” transforms tales of transgression into an anthem of liberation.
