Square’s Dream Lyrics English Translation by IU (아이유)
In my square bed
I wake up, open my eyes
Through the square window
The same old view outside
Open the square door
Sit at the square table
Glance at my square smartphone
Then into my square backpack
Toss in my square textbooks
Hop on the square bus
Pass by square buildings
Step into the square school
Again, a square classroom
Square blackboard and desks
Square audio
Square computer, square TV
On the square calendar
The same day repeats
Without even realizing
I’m just breathing, barely living
Look around—everything’s square
But we always hear
Those wise grown-ups say:
“The world’s round, live that way”
Globe in my hands
Our home’s a spinning sphere
Then why’s everything we own
Sharp-cornered, square?
Maybe it’s all
Just a square’s dream after all
Square bills in my father’s square wallet
Square academy on a square flyer
Square frames on the square floor
Names on square business cards
Square tapes on square speakers
Square dictionaries on square shelves
Square letters piled in square drawers
Now just square-shaped memories
Square flag fluttering high
Square magazine says
This month’s luck for me
Hopeless as I am
Guess it’s my small joy
Look around—everything’s square
But we always hear
Those wise grown-ups say:
“The world’s round, live that way”
Globe in my hands
Our home’s a spinning sphere
Then why’s everything we own
Sharp-cornered, square?
Maybe it’s all
Just a square’s dream after all
