My Sea is a story of her 20s, with IU describing it by verse: Verse 1: early 20s when she hated herself Verse 2: mid 20s when she made up her mind to comfortably head back to the endless sea inside of her Verse 3: late 20s when she eventually returned to the ocean, finding her inner balance.

This is the best translation of My Sea and my fav line: “The child who dreamed a different dream everyday underneath the shower of wishes. Did she suffer for so long just to become me?” It comes from IUteamstarcandy translations. Edit: sorry for the word but that translation is so crappy, they literally translate it word by word. I remember a Korean living in America(fluent in Eng) said; It is hard to translate IU's self written songs. The phrases are too poetic, with so many word plays, metaphors that it loses its hangul beauty in english. And ended up saying, I'm glad that Korean is my mother tongue. Fully understanding the (meaning) of the song melts my heart.

the thing is, there are "age series" songs by her (23 (2015) - Palette (2017) - Eight (2020) - Lilac (2021) ), which congruent with what she said abt verse 1-2-3 represent her 20's [ Just Nobody's comment] also some lyrics in My Sea are like representative and callbacks to her past songs : you can see bits from Love Poem (2019), Dear Name (2017), Child Searching for A Star (2011), Last Fantasy (2011), Secret (2011), even her very early song Ugly Duckling (2008)

This 'My Sea', some details/info were actually explained by IU herself when she talked with Kim Eana, another famous korean lyricist who also wrote most of IU's songs on the beginning of her career. With translation, we can barely understand and appreciate the message but on that particular video, the choice of words, syllable, vocabulary and other elements of IU song lyrics were mentioned/discussed.

Aside from her magical voice which can transport you to different world and make you feel things, her lyrics are something you can always look forward to 'cause they are just remarkably written. Thank you so much for this reaction. It really makes me glad when people try to understand and analyze her lyrics 'cause her way of expressing her thoughts through words is just mind blowing. Btw, IU has age series songs and i think it will be interesting to react to them in order 😁: twenty-three (23y/o) -- palette (25) -- eight(28)

I like the translation below much better as it makes more sense in English, I know no Korean - even then I would change this bit just for sound to waterfall The child who dreamed a different dream everyday underneath the waterfall of wishes Did she suffer for so long just to become me? Lyrics By IU Composed By Jehwi / Kim Hee Won Arranged by Jehwi Still, there are things that do not heal even after time My heart is poor tonight as I am unable to love myself perfectly I feel awkward looking at the face in the mirror So I close my eyes silently like a habit And when night falls, I want to hurry and move onto tomorrow The child who dreamed a different dream everyday underneath the shower of wishes Did she suffer for so long just to become me? As the days pile up, we become further apart I don’t think we will be able to reconcile with one another And I don’t think it will get better When I was young, there was always an ocean that would never run dry in my heart Now in this faint place where only traces remain I could hear the sound of my breath filled with excitement And the cool breeze blowing over my head I want to become a wave and run to just anywhere Though a little scared, I hope when I slowly open my eyes The world comes to me at every moment and turns into a dazzling gift And only then, I think I’ll be able to give answers to the me, who used to have a number of doubts The memories from the other side are calling me Upon hearing the voice that I had forgotten for a very long time I stem the waves and return to the place where the sea inside me was born Even if I get swept away and lose my way, I’m free I no longer close my eyes to the darkness that confines me anymore I won’t ignore myself ever again Nonetheless, I bet there will still sometimes be days in which I lose to life But I’ll know my way back even if I lose my way again Translated by IUteamstarcandy ps for some reason this came up as my wife's account so don't blame Cynthia its Peter
