What's with IU's lyrics?

I like this comments' explanation; 

 

. [+71, -18] Her song's basically about "I never wrote one line of a lie".. she asks the listener to guess which one is her real side between wanting to quit, make money, she's content the way she is now, she wants to be in love... but these are all basically things that she wants and has. She's both a fox and a bear and she's trapped between all these anxious versions of herself.. and then the song ends with her being used to all these biases about her and she doesn't care about the hateful comments.

I feel like she leaked her dating scandals to release this song? I know it sounds stupid but is it a coincidence that this song is somewhat related to whats happening to her lately (with all the hate and everything) if that makes any sense lol

Here are the lyrics since no one posted them in a thread about them

 

Also they are pretty obvious the meaning. Anyone having trouble understanding? She's talking about how easy it is to pretend and how people assume she is something because of a MV concept. Then she says she kind of wants to be sexy but also still develop, and also wants to quit and be rich but changes her mind a lot.  Like everyone.

 

Basically telling the people upset about her image they should grow up.

 

 

I’m twenty three
I’m a riddle (Question)
Try to guess the answer
I’m twenty three
Don’t be wrong Because
I am very sensitive Try to guess

A bunch of twenty three
Now becomes little feminine
Trust me moderately if I pretend to be a grown up

Cunning twenty three
Still long way to go, girl
If I pretend to be immature
Please be fooled roughly

I, yes, like now for sure
No, frankly speaking I wanna give up
Oh right I want to be in love
No I rather make money
Try to guess

Which one?
You cannot tell with my face
Making an opposite facial expression to the heart is really simple
Actually I don’t know either
At first, I never wrote even a single line of lies

Pretend to be a fox that pretends to be a bear that pretends to be a fox
Or completely different one

Which one?
Choose only one whatever it is
Being seen through the sunglasses, I’m used to it now
Check it out

There’s nothing I’m afraid of
Even if I act rudely People are always kind to me

The woman saying hello to me
Is she still smiling after going round the corner?
I’m always anxious

I wanna be a child forever
No, I want to be a moist woman
Yes, I will live silently as death
No I will turn everything inside out
Try to guess

Which one?
You cannot tell with my face
Making an opposite facial expression to the heart is really simple
Which one?
Actually I don’t know either
At first, I never wrote even a single line of lies

Pretend to be a fox that pretends to be a bear that pretends to be a fox
Or completely different one

Which one?
Choose only one whatever it is
Being seen through the sunglasses, I’m used to it now

I want you to like me
Can I be nasty a little?
I want you to like me
Can I be on the top of your head?
Try to guess

Which one?
You cannot tell with my face
Making an opposite facial expression to the heart is really simple
Actually I don’t know either
At first, I never wrote even a single line of lies

Pretend to be a fox that pretends to be a bear that pretends to be a fox
Or completely different one

Which one?
Choose only one whatever it is
Being seen through the sunglasses, I’m used to it now

What video is you sig from??

 

 

 

To me it sounds like she's more self conflicted about herself and how people view her. Where are you getting arrogance from? She singing from the pov of a top star after all 

At first the lyrics seemed to be admitting that she's a fox, and talking about how easy it is to deceive the public. And at the end of the day she doesn't care much because she'll still be successful regardless. Plus the line where she says "being seen through the sunglasses, I'm used to it now" made me think of the phrase "rose-tinted glasses" as in fans will always see things as being better than they actually are because they're biased.

If she doesn't care, why write a song about it? Seems a bit self indulgent to me tbh.

shes not singing about "idc what you say "

 

shes just telling her haters to make up their mind and think whatever they want bc in the end shes use to all the hate

 

its a pretty clever song
