pink venom lyrics (2 Viewers)

[seoriverse]

hi, i'd like to start this thread by saying that my first language is not english and this might just be a big misunderstanding because i am not a native speaker.

i came accross a post on twitter with a screenshot of the lyrics of pink venom. i tried to read them because they're mainly in english and while i did know the general subject of the song was that they're powerful and indenpendant, i didn't know specifically what it was saying. i must say i was confused reading? what does "waving the coco" means or "straight to ya dome like"? is dome a slang for something? this is why i specified english is not my first language, maybe those are slang or expression i do not know. i looked up a translation for the korean lyrics too but i still don't get it even with context. pls help

Dome is like your head, the other I don't know

 

[RockyGoose]

I understood "Dome" as meaning "house".

I understood "Dome" as meaning "house".

someone said it's head? i think it makes more sense with head

"Waving the Coco" is probably a reference to the brand Chanel

It's head because the dance shows them motioning finger guns towards their heads.

"Waving the Coco" is probably a reference to the brand Chanel

"Waving the Coco" is a reference to one of the old '90's hip hop songs from Notorious BIG where it had the line "Waving the Fo' Fo'"-- a gun type called the .44 caliber. Also, it's a reference to her sponsor Coco Chanel along with that expensive Coco bird cage she was showing off.

And, yes, 'Dome' is the slang term for 'head'.
So, basically, they're saying the Pink Venom [ which I take it to mean their music or their auras of being themselves ] will consume your mind right away.

I read a YouTube member's comment saying the entire song was meant to be a throwback to '90's hip hop American music along with some fairly recent ones.

mshumai ~ "Pink Venom is Teddy/BP's tribute to their hip hop inspirations. Biggie, RiRi, Boom Bap, G funk, Dre, Snoop, Missy Elliot... I feel like this is Teddy's love song to his childhood and I'm here for it. It speaks to my old soul and puts a silly grin on my face!"

You're welcome. Well, just to clarify, the video page was meant to find that comment as proof. Crypt did not say that.

When I first saw Lisa and Jen rap, I was immediately thinking of first gen KPOP with Seo Taiji & Boys hip hop.
I did not know the Entire song had '90's American music reference until I read that comment on YouTube.

Also, I forgot that YG was part of the Seo Taiji & Boys group back in the day ~ which theirs was influenced by '90's American hip hop music because Seo Taiji traveled back and forth to the US.

straight to your dome is like saying "straight to your head" so it means that the "venom" is going into whoever listens to them, right to their head.

and the coco part is referencing coco Chanel, the creator of the fashion brand. Jennie is an ambassador for Chanel and has a lot of nicknames in Korea like "Chanel queen" or "made of Chanel" because she wears it frequently.

Yup!

 

[Puddles]

I also think “Straight to ya dome” is a tribute to the classic Freestyler lyric “Coming straight from my dome”

I'm back.
So, I found a longer, more detailed explanation from another YouTube member who commented in another Pink Venom reaction video.

From Trash Talkers channel on YouTube ~> Rappers React To BLACKPINK "Pink Venom"!!!

Tim Breeden ~
"The musical references here are pretty extensive: The song starts with a crowd chanting "Blackpink" like the crowd chants "Bravehearts" in the Nas song "Made You Look". Then Jennie hits us with a reference to Biggie's famous line "kick in the door, wavin the 44"(Jennie says Coco.(Chanel). Next Lisa references Rhianna's "Pon de Replay" with "One by one then two by two" and also 50 Cent's P.I.M.P. with "you couldn't get a dollar outta me". Rosé and Jisoo both reference Taylor Swift with "look what you made us do". Finally, the Jennie/Lisa rap verse is backed by a synths sample from Ice Cube/Eazy-E's part of "Gangsta Gangsta" by N.W.A. They(Teddy and the girls) definitely weren't shy about shouting out their inspirations/favorite artists in this song."
