Do you think these lyrics are problematic?

Imagine if a boy group released this, yikes

 

f(x) - Shadow

 

Every day, I secretly chase after your footsteps

I’m always careful so you won’t notice

No one says it but our date has started, our own date

 

Where are you going? Step by step, I follow you

Without a word, you lead me

Step by step, did you notice me? I have nowhere to hide

 

When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you

I am really really into you

When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms

I really really like you

 

Day by day, we resemble each other more and more

Your laughter and tears, I know it all

Don’t be scared, we’re a fate tied by the sun, it’s our destiny to be together

 

Where are you going? Step by step, I follow you

Without a word, you lead me

Step by step, will you notice me? I don’t want to hide

 

When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you

I am really really into you

When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms

I really really like you

 

The person in the mirror is smiling with you, I don’t know

Underneath your feet, without an expression, I hide behind you

 

The person in the mirror is shining

So I can get jealous of the smile the resembles you

I stick closer to you and we are connected

When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you

I am really really into you

When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms

I really really like you

When the sun rises, I walk in sync and together with you

I am really really into you

When the moon rises, you fall asleep in my arms

I really really like you

i always thought the song was a bit whimsical and literally sung in the point of view of someone's shadow, and that the lyrics were really clever. The lyrics kind of reminded me of those riddles where at the end it asks "what am I?" and the answer is in the title "Shadow". Maybe I'm just dumb?

And no the lyrics aren't problematic since they're actually legitimately talking about...a shadow.......I hope :unsure:

 

'The lyrics talks of a girls' story about developing a crush on someone she cannot face or confess her feelings too. The 'sweet, young and innocent' dreamy nature of her love, could [potentially] be misinterpreted by some as stalking'

I think so too, especially paired with the eerie sound. Obviously though it can be interpreted in other ways

Hello

Did you eat
Your wereabouts worries me
Tell me baby where you at
Hello
Call me baby I be there
Wherever you are I be there
Hello
Pick up the phone girl
Cuz I gotta be there

Maybe you’re going to be late because of traffic (I feel urgent)
Maybe you forgot batteries again (me again)
I feel like it’s going to rain so I think about it a bit (You a little bit)
To see you earlier I go pick you up

You’d be surprised when you see me (you’ll like it)
So that we won’t miss each other (I should run)
I see you from far away
But I call you and just say

Hello
Did you eat
Your wereabouts worries me
Hello
Why can’t you see anything
Hello hello

I came to pick you up, thought it was going to rain
That you would walk in the rain alone
I’m in front of your house it looks like you’re with someone
I couldn’t say it because I thought I’d lose you

I know these actions aren’t very brave
Even if you say I’m cowardly, I can’t go anymore
Do you know these feelings
Way to you feels like hell
Should we be feeling the same
This doesn’t make sense
I was the one to make you feel better
Please tell me it’s nothing
Why not me just tell, say anything

What are you doing there
Can’t you feel me looking at you?
Looking at you blankly
Say things you want to say tomorrow
Say you are sorry tomorrow
Where are you looking at? You should be here

Hello
Did you eat
Your wereabouts worries me
Hello
Why can’t you see anything
Hello hello

I wanted to see you since it’s raining (it’s raining) walking down the street
I walked with you (feel like I’m going to die)
I’m in front of your house, I miss you
But maybe not you (I miss you)
I’m going crazy, it has to be you

Baby I cant let you go (did you eat?)
I only think about you girl
What would I be without you girl (what are you doing?)
Dont tell me lies, dont say goodbye
I just wanna let you know (why can’t you say anything?)
I only think about you girl
What would I be without you girl
What would I be without you girl

Hello

 

 

But I would want Oppa to follow me around, he's so perf OMG  :imstupid: 

 

If f(x) wanna stalk me tho, I REALLY wouldn't mind, at all.

I remember last year there was a thread wondering if the song were about stalking.  I think it could be but the lyrics are also completely (and more) consistent with being a song about an actual (though personified/anthropomorphic) shadow.

 

The person in the mirror is shining
So I can get jealous of the smile the resembles you

^

this part in particular is consistent with a shadow being jealous of a reflection, and not with a stalker being... jealous of a reflection.
