Favourite IU Lyrics

To celebrate iu’s 12th anniversary and give her the appreciation she deserves, here are 10 of my favourite lyrics that iu has written (in no particular order):

Note: iu has so many writing credits and so many songs that are strong as a whole that I don’t think I could ever choose my favourite lines from all of them or ever actually make an ordered list of favourite to least favourite. Also keep in mind that these lyrics and songs are open to interpretation so how I describe them may be different to what you think. I’m just doing this for fun so please don’t get mad at me if I don’t include your faves, and hey maybe I’ll make a part 2 someday

1. Bad Day

“I feel someone’s body heat on the empty playground bench

Why is this warmth making me feel even colder?

I bury my face in my scrunched up shoulders

My hands that I hid in my pockets get cold”

Bad day is such a special song to me. It was with this song that I realised there was something special about iu’s writing. I just love the whole metaphor of a cold room being used to describe a bad day. She took a relatable concept and was able to create an extended metaphor out of it that somehow describes the feeling so well, a feeling that some may struggle to put into words. I have mental illnesses and we know that iu has struggled with mental illness too, so this just feels like a very personal song and that just makes it better. You know that she felt these things and poured her heart into this song.

2. Ending Scene

“As much as you were lonely

I really hope you meet someone

Who will love you more than you

I’m sorry that it wasn’t me

It’s not easy to give

Don’t say those words, please

You know those words hurt even more”

I’m usually not big into love or break up songs, but something about this just feels so unique and heartbreaking. It’s not a bitter break up where they hurt each other, the other person is wishing her the best and admitting that they’re not right for each other, but that just makes it worse because they are clearly a good person who cares for her. It’s just so well written and a new perspective and that’s something I really appreciate about iu.

3. Can’t Love You Anymore

“Where are you?

Where are you?

I’m home

I’m in a cab

Are you almost home?

Oh, I’m sorry

For what?

Just, everything

Go home

I left my wallet there

Oh, hey

Never mind

No, what is it?

I don’t think

we’re in love anymore”

How could I not include the iconic back and forth with iu and oh hyuk? This again feels like a unique break up song in that it’s so chill. There’s no big reason for it, they just simply fell out of love and are now unable to be like they were before and are just tired of being together. I think this part shows that so well because not only are the lyrics great but the delivery of them as well. It just sounds great and is fun to sing along to (or at least try to sing long).

4. Eight

“So are you happy now?

Finally happy now are you?

I’m the same

I think I’ve lost it all

Everything comes on it’s own and leaves without a goodbye

At this rate, I don’t want to love anything”

Eight aka song of the year starts off strong and stays that way throughout (thanks partly to yoongi of course). IU has lost two close friends these past couple years, and from the mv it seems clear that the song is talking about her memories with them, as well as being another song that focuses on her age and how she’s growing up. For those reasons these lyrics just really hit hard. IU is such a strong woman and I hope that she is able to create more truly happy memories.

5. Red Queen

“Children obviously but adults too

Even the things that don’t have life

Everything fell in love, fell in love with her

Her heart was that beautiful too

Even when she gazed

At the tiniest, poorest of things

Those passionless, depressing eyes

Used to sparkle so bright"

This is another song with a connection to sulli. IU said that she was inspired to write the song because of a drawing sulli did, and the lyrics seem like they are telling her story of going from being loved to hated by the public, especially as after she passed away iu changed the lyrics at her concert to pay tribute to her. This obviously makes the song more touching now, but there’s even more to appreciate. I really love the structure of the lyrics, how it’s like she’s telling a fun silly story but underneath it’s actually very dark. This is helped even more by the instrumental and vocals, which shouldn’t be surprising because we all know iu is a musical genius. Red queen is easily one of her best songs.

6. Blueming

“I’lltextyouwithoutanyspacesIthinkthisislove

A hundred roses, wanna make them bloom with me?

Let’s color the flowers however we want

So it’s beautiful even when it withers”

It was really really really hard to choose my favourite lyrics because there is so much going on in this song, every single line has something to appreciate. I love when art can take something simple and make it poetic, and that’s what iu does well. The song as a whole is about texting your crush, and she describes this as creating flowers in their chat room, blooming flowers together as their relationship also blooms. It’s simple yet effective. Again I’m not big into love songs but I can appreciate poetry when I see it and damn do I see it. And can we just take a moment to appreciate how cool that texting without spaces line is? In the mv they type out the hangul without any spaces just so we can see that she really did that, wow.

7. Greedyy

“Girls be ambitious, own more, whatever it may be

There are so many things that are such a waste to give to others

Everyone tells you the same line as if promised, be good

If you don’t wanna you don’t have to, don’t have to”

Now we love a good bit of female empowerment. This song is actually by jea and moonbyul, but iu wrote the lyrics (moonbyul wrote her own I think). I think it says a lot that iu wrote a song for another female singer and she decided to make it about ambition and taking what you want. It honestly gives me cindy from the producers vibes. This song is very underappreciated so please check it out!

8. Through The Night

“Just like letters on the sand

Where waves were

I feel you’ll disappear

To a far off place

I miss you again and miss you more”

Through the night actually had to take some time to grow on me, but now it is one of my favourite iu songs ever. I don’t know why but this song often makes me cry, it’s just so full of love and admiration for whoever it’s about and iu’s vocals help put so much emotion into it. I think I cry because I make up scenarios in my head that make it more personal and hurt more, and I think you can do that with a lot of iu’s songs which really helps the listeners experience. I think with the palette album iu really hit something with her writing, it’s so full of emotion and poetic techniques. I’m so happy palette won album of the year and this song won song of the year because they both really deserve it.

9. BBIBBI

“Yellow C A R D

If you cross this line, it’s a violation, beep

Keeping manners stop here, it’s ma ma ma mine

Please keep the la la la line

Hello stuP I D

If you cross that line, I’ll get serious, beep

Stop it, keep the distance

Cause we don’t know know know know

Comma we don’t owe owe owe owe (anything)”

An iconic song. Bbibbi is a song telling the public to stop giving hate to celebrities and to stop invading their privacy, but in true iu fashion she keeps it upbeat and strangely polite. This got iu a lot of attention and I think that proves how good she is at writing. She did something new and empowering while still keeping in line with her image, and people really responded to this. This was another song where it was very hard for me to choose the lyrics. I went with the chorus but I also really love the pre chorus where she is repeating negative comments she receives, I just think that’s really cool.

10. Leon

“My heart used to be quietly asleep

But why did you throw a stone,

making me wanna dance?

Please hide my shaking eyes,

my black sunglasses”

Now maybe it’s just because films are my biggest passion in the world, but I really love this song. This part is sung by park myung-soo (iu still wrote all the lyrics) and is meant to be from leon’s perspective. I really like how iu took full advantage of this song being a boy girl duet because it allowed her to write from both perspectives and have fun with it. Something about it actually reminds me of red queen and I just really enjoy the vibe. I’ve noticed that korean people seem to really like leon the professional and I find that interesting, especially as it’s about the relationship between a 12 year old girl and a grown professional assassin man, but that’s a conversation for another day. As it is, this is a great song that was very successful in korea, and queen iu deserves all the success and praise.

If you somehow read all this, thank you so much and please stream eight!

I’m His Second Mate Part 2

Genre: angst, fluffish slightly

The feeling of his lips move across mine is like fire with water. Fire is what burns within the depths of your lower stomach that slowly spreads throughout your body to the tips of your fingers. That makes them hyper sensitive to the touch. The sparks that start the fire is when you feel each other’s skin knowing that your close to one another. Making you feel like your in a sauna room. It gets hard to breath in when your lungs on fire with the lack of oxygen, and your heart’s pounding 100 miles per minute. The fire that draws you in like a moth drawn to a flame. Water is the coldness of knowing that he has someone that he loves more than you. It sets out the fire with jolts of hurt, and takes away what was on fire before it’s left with nothing but ash. Even though you hurt yourself more each time you go back in you can’t help it because you desperately want the fire to stay in order to keep you warm with true love instead of coldness of what you call fake love. This is what it feels like but 50 times worse when it’s your mate. Knowing that, that someone he’s loving is suppose to be you.

With these thoughts, and feelings I slowly push Jimin away from me with the hand that was once in his hair. “ what’s wrong?” He asks. I stare at his chest unable to look in his eyes to say,” Jimin I can’t. This isn’t right. We both know you don’t love me and even if we are bonded. You can never love me the way I need and want. You don’t need me like I need you. Your already mated and you have a Luna already. Like I said earlier I’m your second choice. I’m grateful that you saved my life. I truly am grateful, but the thing is I have enough dignity to not break a mating relationship apart. Like you said earlier to me. You don’t want me and not only that you rejected me. You already chose, so I’m going to be respectful and do the right thing for you and me. By stopping this before it hurts both of us in the process more than what it already has. I love you Jimin I do, but I love you enough to let you go and be happy. Even... even if that does mean tearing myself apart .” In the process of saying this I get up off the bed and make my way to my back pack. To take my clothes out and start dressing my naked body.

Now sitting on the edge of the bed with his hand running through his hair with tears falling down his cheeks. He looks at me and says,” Your right. I’m sorry, I went to far. Thank you for sacrificing your self for me and your Luna. But Y/n please know I do love you and don’t think so lowly of yourself. Your the most beautiful person inside and out that I have meet.” He walks toward me to give my forehead a kiss while hugging me tightly. “ I should go. After your classes tomorrow come to the pack house. You need to meet your Luna and the rest of the pack. After this you’ll be able to mind link us. Goodnight Y/n” He walks to the door, but stops to look back at me. Like he’s hesitating to go, but instead of staying he says the last few words that makes my heart beat with ache and pure happiness.” If I never meet her three years ago, and I saw you today. I would have ran to you to hold you in my arms and never had let you go.” With that he walks out and shuts the door behind him. After he shuts the door I slowly crawl into my bed. Collapsing on it with tears coming out of my eyes and sobs coming out of my mouth. I did this for hours until I fell asleep with my heart shattered and my soul broken. Oh how I wish this was different, but there’s nothing I can do.

Next morning

I woke up to a person knocking on my door. With my brain groggy, and my eyes swollen. I almost trip going down stairs to the door that is getting pounded on. I ask, “ Who is it?” The muffled voice behind the door speaks,” Its Jungkook. I’m here to invite you to breakfast since you don’t have food in your house yet.” I slowly open the door to peek through and look at Jungkook. He has bed hair and he’s in his PJs. “Oh thank you for inviting me. I’m starving.” I say stepping of in the freezing air. The type of air that makes you want to go back to your warm bed. Instead we walk beside each other down the dirt trail with awkward silence until he breaks it,” So Fine Arts huh? Why art? Do you like drawing?” I glance at him as I reply,” Yeah I loved drawing people since I was a little pup. My Dad is the one who taught me how to draw, and my Mom loved doing all sorts of math problems.” I smile remembering my parents daily life with me back before the attack. “ Ah is that the reason why you are double majoring Mathematics and Studio Arts? Because your Father loves doing art and your Mother loves doing Math?” I look ahead of me with a sad look in my eyes, “Yes, it makes me feel close to them, but not only that I love both. I couldn’t choose one or the other, so I chose both.” He smiles at me before speaking in an announcer voice.” Oh My Gosh Y/ n the Neeew pack member. Who could have thought, a PURE WHITE wolf with a Mathematical mind and an artistic heart is in OUR PACK. And the crow goes wild!!!!!Yahhhhh!! Woo!!” I Burst out laugh while slapping his arm playfully. “ Stop. It too much hahaha.” He laughs with me. “Welcome to the pack Y/n” I look at him with appreciation, “ No, thank you for accepting me as part of your pack.” As we walk the rest of the way we laugh and joke around.

Until we reach the pack house I started hear lots of chatter and laughter with all different ages. I started to get excited and nervous to the point of wanting to through up. “ What if they don’t like me and what if they won’t accept me? Jimin said to meet them after my classes not before. Oh no, maybe I shou-“ My thoughts get caught off when Jungkook says,” Their going to be shocked yes, but there going to love you. Plus, you got a handsome guy like me as your friend.” He smiles gently at me. “Your right lets go.” We walk in and the house gets quite. All eyes stare at me and Jungkook. My eyes quickly find Jimin’s, but it looks like he’s avoiding me and that hurts.But I try not to let it get to me, so I look away avoiding him as well. Jungkook tapped my shoulder to start guiding me to the kitchen. While getting my food I feel my cheeks getting hot from having so much attention on me. I can practically feel all of their eyes on because of this I feel awkward and unwelcome. So get as little food as possible because I don’t want to be a bother. When I turn around I see a woman walking towards me. Head held up and and struts like a queen. I automatically knew she was Jimin’s mate my new Luna. When she steps close enough she grabs my drink and splashes it on my face. “ How dare you come in here and eat our food without being fully part of the pack.” I look down with tears in my eyes. “ Are you not going to say sorry to your new Luna !” “ I’m sorry”, I quickly bow to show my submission. When I do this she laughs,” Your so pathetic.” I look straight into her eyes and say with a booming voice,” I am not pathetic. “ She is about to smack me but I grab her wrist before she does. I give my food to Jungkook and started to walk away. But I stopped and looked right into Jimin’s eyes and said,” This is your Luna? This is your mate? Good leader for this pack my a**. If this is the way I’m treated. I don’t want to be in this pack. This is not how a Luna should treat her pack members. Goodbye.”

I storm out of the pack house and ran towards my tree house. I can’t believe that he was talking about her with pride. Ugh. As soon as I go inside I packed my dirty clothes and was walking out of my house when I saw Jimin running towards me. I try to avoid him by walking into the woods, but he grabbed my hand pulling me back. “ Stop! Just calm down. Okay?” I look at him with disbelief. “ Wow okay I’m more calm than I was. Now tell me what was that? Is that really how I’m going to be treated? Does she act like that to everyone, or is it just me she’s acting this way to?” He looks at me with pity,” No it’s just you. She found out that your my mate. I told her I rejected you, and you backed off. But it looks like she’s still jealous.” I shake my head“ I don’t care. What she did was unacceptable as a Luna. Respectfully like I said if this is how I’m going to be treated. I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want an apology because I really doubt she truly wants to. All I want is to know is this how I’m going to be treated. I want an honest answer.” I look at him determined.

“ I can’t promise you that you won’t be treated like that with her again , but the rest of the pack won’t.” He grabs my hands looking into my eyes to show me he is talking honestly.” How do you know? I don’t know if I even want to go back. I just wanted the pack to accept me, but I don’t know if they will. Not after that. I want to be in a pack Jimin. I do-“ I cut my self off to look away to wipe my tears. “ Maybe she’s right Jimin. Maybe I am pathetic. Ever since I meet you I have been crying. I’m so tired of crying.” He pulls me into a back hug. “ You’re not pathetic. You been hurt and been through a lot. Please stay and if this happens again you can leave and I’ll let you go but please stay.” I slump my shoulders down. “ Fine but just one last chance. I need to go to my classes anyway. I should be cooled down by then.” I push him away from me.

“ Y/n !” Both Jimin and I turn our heads to see Jungkook running towards me with a girl beside him holding hands. As they caught up to us he asks,” Are you okay?” I give them a small smile,” I’m fine” I say with a scratchy voice from crying. “ who’s this pretty woman next to you?” Jungkook face palms,” Y/n this is my mate IU and IU this is Y/n my new friend” she walks up to me and hugs me to talk gently,” I’m sorry Luna treated you like that. Jungkook told me everything. Your very strong woman to deal with all of this.” I hug her back to say,” Thank you.” I walk back from the hug and look at both Jungkook and Jimin look at us with uwu expression on their faces. IU and I both said at the exact same time, “ What?” We all look at each other and burst out laughing. We all stopped laughing when we hear,” What the he** is going on here. Jungkook and IU I order you to go back to the pack and ignore this mate home wrecker !!”
