It's the kind of song that is so beautiful even when you dont undertsand a thing... But once, we read the lyrics, it just turns out even more beautiful... Her songwriting is no joke!!
Here's a better translation that I did myself, because what's on the video may be hard to understand. I added a few crucial words to help the context make sense (please understand). Some words had to be removed from IU's Korean lyrics for the same reason. The lines where, in Korean the expressions symbolize a concept I interpreted and slightly changed to make it easier for Non-Korean fans to understand (e.g -- Changed "line" to "horizon"). Enjoy! Yet even as time passes There are wounds that don't heal Because I cannot love myself fully It is a sorrowful night The face in the mirror feels unfamiliar That I silently close my eyes as per the usual I hastily await the night to move on to tomorrow (Connects to next stanza) That child who dreamt of so many wishes Did she(referring to IU's younger self) suffer for so long Just to become the person I am today? Day by day that passes I get farther away from her That I don't think we will ever reconcile I don't think it will get better When I was young I dreamt of an everlasting sea Where now only the faintest traces remain My breath filled with excitement The cool wind flowing above I want to freely roam the seas like the waves (Connects to next stanza) Just as I slowly open my eyes in spite of my fear There and then, the world comes to me To become a breathtaking gift That self who doubted so many times Can finally give you(child) a reply The long lost memories from over the horizon Call for me In that voice I had forgotten For so long I wade against the gushing stream Back towards that place where my sea was born Even if I am swept away and lost, I can be free Never again will I let the darkness take over me Never again will I pretend not to recognize myself There may still be times When life's waves sweep me away But from this moment and forth, I will know the way back
@@aboutlovejinyoung9592 of course she refers to herself. But i said that this song makes me realize it's time to me to reconcile with my inner child. If u know what inner child mean.
From my perspective, this song kinda reflects on her own childhood, hardships she's been through so far. I am so proud of her. She absolutely deserves all of an amazing things in this world.
I have no words to describe this song.. all i can say is that this song is a "mirror" to everyone, it "reflects" everyone's lives that is lost.. no wonder why Jidong said it's a mix of dear name, love poem, and secret.. at "dear name" she was lost, and she promised to shout her name several times so she could find the way back however My Sea reveals the truth untold about it that even if she gets lost, she knows she'll find her way back.. Dear Name was her despair while My Sea serves as her hope💜 which that's something that "Love Poem" gave us to all who are going through something, My Sea is the "Secret" that unveiled in a "Love Poem" to her "Dear Name".. and this Angel gave us another reason to keep going despite of the cruelty that life holds💜🥰.. Truly Ji Eun eonni is God's gift to us💜😁😊 she's God's instrument🥰 May everyone have a good day with Lilac and continue life with this song😊!! God bless everyone and mostly to our dear Queen!🥰
It is just amazing and also heart breaking thinking of how our tiny little Jieun embraced all the difficulties in her heart and overcame them by herself all these years.. She is indeed Queen IU, inner side of her and singing skill both, I respect and proud of her so much.
"My memories, my inner child, my youth, my adulthood... They're all me. Even if it's hard, I will never be lost because I've got myself rooting for me." This is what I feel when I listen to her.
OMG Kim Chaehyun, Jung Jiyoon, Shana will sing this song tomorrow??? Vocal range and high note.. that's crazy !!!! I can't wait to see their performance. I know they will do the best with their beautiful vocals .
What's unique about this song is that it starts with the word "but", and meaning of heads and tails are mutually related. if you listen to it repeatedly, maybe you can feel it.
even if i don't understand korean i'm crying at this song everytime, because i can feel the emotion with that she sings this song. also when I'm listening to it i'm thinking about my life and this is making me even more crying.
@@vhallayarl8505 that note is breathtaking but you can actually hear it's not a single take recording when it building to high note ,is that make it less impressive? definitely no! IU is amazing
@@user-fu8cr6gi2t maybe she means that it was taken separately- so the sentence before it is recorded first then the long note second But yes, it took only one recording to have the long note- Idk how but no wonder cuz she's our queen and legend 👑
The production of this is so brilliant. The piano, base, the orchestral vibe, added percussions, guitar(i cannot identify cuz i have a bad hearing), rhythm, and too much to mention. And of course, IU. Her interpretation of her story through her voice is legendary. She has such a good control to her voice. She can release real emotions. How many time will IU's ballads hit me on the heart. She is the queen of Kpop.
Omg I actually cried when she hit that high note, and the lyrics oh god, this is my favourite song on the album I was so not expecting this when I listened to the other songs. I love this so soo much.
I like all the tracks from this album, but this song... oh my god, this song is from another world, comes from the heaven 😭😭 and it has instantly become one of my favorite songs from my Goddess IU 💜
im not fluent in korean nor have i seen the subtitles for this song yet but my first time listening to this, it gives me the "im lost but its okay, youll find your way" kind of vibe and its a really beautiful and vulnerable feeling wow
if IU perform this live at awards or anywhere I WILL CRYYY SO HARDD goshh she just just SOO AMAZINGG gg and i can relate to this song what Jidong said is true this is suuupeerb and powerful!
My heart was filled with emotions listening to this. How beautiful... and the fact that it means so much to her just makes it more touching. I cried hard listening to this as the lyrics and her voice are just so.. man I don't even have words. I'm speechless. That was so beautiful. I have never connected with any other artist except bts this way, and it truly was a beautiful experience. I'm gonna come back here and listen to this everyday.
I gotta admit, this song is very angelic and special. I await the day she sings this live at a concert. Whoever made the arrangement for the melody is a genius
The first time I heard this song even tho I didn't know the lyrics, I already felt that it's about oneself that struggled but thrived in life bringing all the lessons to guide. I felt it cause I've been there... It's so amazing how u feel the song even tho you can't understand it. IU is truly amazing! This is my favorite track of her album.
The song itself is a journey, it just makes me feels like everything will be okay, no matter how hard things are at the moment, there'll one day be a day where I look back and realise that I made it
If this song won't be put in a Disney movie, be an OST in a Kdrama, win some award shows, and be sung at the end of an award show at the end of the Year. Imma be throwing hands.
I'm imagining IU performing this like her MMA performance of THROUGH THE NIGHT & DEAR NAME wearing that beautiful white gown 😭😭😭 and the choir part too.
It feels like an adventure listening to this. This is somehow like the culmination I want to see in a musical theatre where the protagonist figured out everything she wants to be in her life.
my fav lilac song for a lot of reasons. the melody, the vocals, the beautiful lyrics, the high notes, everything about dis is so so perfect. when the chorus comes, >>>goosebumps
Honestly this song makes me cry so much since i relate so much to her.. I hope i can find my way out soon.There are so many things going on in my head and this song has been my comfort song till now. I cry out and feel so much better after this song ends. It leaves me being strong and makes me keep going. I love her so much, she's truly my inspiration🌸 She deserves each and everything she's achieved till now and is going to achieve. My princess, you are amazing, live a long life and stay happy always💜
Huhuhu im crying while learning the song ... myghadddd IU you are so great on making songs . Wow this one really hits me differently . I love you so much IU .. this song has many high parts . I dont think i can sing this huhu bit i will try ..thank you again IU . I really love the lyrics . It hits me sooo deep im literally crying right now huhuhuhu ..
if I'm ever able to go to one of her concerts, THIS just might be the song I'd be looking forward to most, getting to sing along with the crowd at 3:24 ..........i wanna cry just thinking about it🥺😭
Fun fact: The original audio in her official channel is 5:16 seconds long. May is the 5th month of the year & 16 is the 16th day in May. May 16 is IU's birthday
This song made me cry 😭 like what most of the sad songs that i listen wont make me cry but this😭 like what Poawer IU has to make me cry , this is th first time that i cry for a song like this😭
Waaah this song really gets you emotional everytime you listen to it 😭 it also has the same vibe as Disney songs like in Moana. It was a masterpiece indeed 💜
To those who came here because of Girls Planet 999, you just discovered a legendary b-side of her album LILAC. I know you know IU, but to those who didn't, she's worth stanning and loving for.

I dont want it to be recognized like an OST of a drama. You can tell this song is special to IU. It's her song from her heart.

Totally agree. I was already touched by her singing before looking up for translation. That is our one and only Jieun
I almost cried hearing this. Why is her voice so beautiful and angelic😢
Fact 🥰
I just read the lyrics thanks to your comment and I totally agree, they gave me goosebumps ...
True 😢
This will be great in year-end award shows. I can already imagine.
Make it more grand than the Dear Name performance in MMA 2017 😍😍😍 make the audience goosebumps 😍😍
Im sure she will sing this in year-end award shows like dear name in MMA 2017

The lines where, in Korean the expressions symbolize a concept I interpreted and slightly changed to make it easier for Non-Korean fans to understand (e.g -- Changed "line" to "horizon"). Enjoy!
Yet even as time passes
There are wounds that don't heal
Because I cannot love myself fully
It is a sorrowful night
The face in the mirror feels unfamiliar
That I silently close my eyes as per the usual
I hastily await the night to move on to tomorrow
(Connects to next stanza) That child who dreamt of so many wishes
Did she(referring to IU's younger self) suffer for so long
Just to become the person I am today?
Day by day that passes I get farther away from her
That I don't think we will ever reconcile
I don't think it will get better
When I was young
I dreamt of an everlasting sea
Where now only the faintest traces remain
My breath filled with excitement
The cool wind flowing above
I want to freely roam the seas like the waves
(Connects to next stanza) Just as I slowly open my eyes in spite of my fear
There and then, the world comes to me
To become a breathtaking gift
That self who doubted so many times
Can finally give you(child) a reply
The long lost memories from over the horizon
Call for me
In that voice I had forgotten
For so long
I wade against the gushing stream
Back towards that place where my sea was born
Even if I am swept away and lost, I can be free
Never again will I let the darkness take over me
Never again will I pretend not to recognize myself
There may still be times
When life's waves sweep me away
But from this moment and forth, I will know the way back
Thank you so much!! These lyrics make so much more sense haha and really show the beauty and depth of this song
Love the artist, love the song, love the translation, love the meaning and love you for doing this!
A very meaningful song that gives you so much emotion.. thank you for the translation.
Wow I appreciate this, thank you so much
Thank you
Disney movie vibes.
Kdrama ost.
Record of the year.
Exactly my thoughts. 😮
I get the feeling of part of your world song in little mermaid
Popular opinion: everyone wants to see MY SEA MV
not everyone
I prepare it to not have a MV.
live want !!!
Something like a documentary about her self or other people's overcoming their seas.
for sure!!!!
This song makes me realize how "that child" struggled in the past, and gives me the time to reconcile with my inner child.
that child is referring to herself, iu btw !

I am so proud of her. She absolutely deserves all of an amazing things in this world.
