               GRAB THEM MAGNIFYING GLASS, CHINGUDUELS, because we are reading between the lines of Lucifer by SHINEE!! 

 

*epic gothic music plays in the background* for years this song has baffled the teens of this generation and today we have finally discovered the reason behind why Jonghyun says:

“Her whisper is the Lucifer,

The Lucifer”

                                 Wait what!? Her whisper is THE LUCIFER? Isn’t Lucifer a man? Does the girl have a man’s voice then? Why is she/he whispering? Why Lucifer instead of other men? And, why the reference to the baddest guy in religious history?

                                 After thorough research on our part, we have come up with the answer to all of these questions *Hurray!*. This line, believe it or not, is actually a reference to a scene from PARADISE LOST by John Milton. Given below are the lines from Paradise Lost book IV which narrates this so called “whispering-like-the-Lucifer” scene:

“……him there they found

Squat like a Toad, close at the eare of EVE; 800

Assaying by his Devilish art to reach

The Organs of her Fancie, and with them forge

Illusions as he list, Phantasms and Dreams,

Or if, inspiring venom, he might taint

Th’ animal Spirits that from pure blood arise 805”

                                   Ummm……. To put that in English, Lucifer, in the disguise of a toad (gross) decides to whisper temptations into the ears of sleeping Eve in paradise. As disturbing as the sight of a toad by your bedside can be, this scene is supposed to depict the sly nature of Lucifer and his deceptive skills. *oooohhh………… aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh*

               

                

                            Could SHINEE be comparing the sly and deceptive nature of Lucifer to their lady love? Yup, you got that right! So the lady love/Lucifer is whispering things in SHINEE’S/Eve’s ear and tempting them with fantasies? Well excuse me for gladly mistaking you for a lady, TAEMIN!!

                                      

                                   (Well, he seems to be “okay” with it!)

            

                   ANYWAY! The woman is too strong for SHINEE that they are associating her to the devil himself! Since the devil is so irresistible… 

“Your undeniable spell is the Lucifer

Your undeniable magic is the Lucifer”

                    And so powerful is her control that they turn into robots that come up with weird words and tries to rhyme them.

Loverholic, robotronic, loverholic, robotronic

                    With that the LUCIFER MYSTERY IS SOLVED!!! MAY YOU NEVER LISTEN TO LUCIFER THE SAME WAY AGAIN!!
