네모의 꿈 (Square’s dream) Lyrics – IU (아이유)

네모의 꿈 (Square’s dream) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer wakes up in a square-shaped bed and looks out a square window at the same view every day. She opens a square door, sits at a square table, looks at a square phone, packs square books in a square bag, rides a square bus, passes square buildings, and goes to a square school with square classrooms and desks. Everything around her feels boxed in and very routine.

[Pre-Chorus]
She notices more square things like the audio, computer, TV, and even the calendar. Every day looks exactly the same, and she feels like she’s just breathing without really being aware of what’s going on around her.

[Chorus]
When she looks around, everything is square. Adults often say the world is round and we should live freely, but she wonders why all the things around her are so square and boxed in. She thinks maybe all this is just a dream about squares, showing how life feels restricted.

[Verse 2]
She describes how even her dad’s wallet has square money, and there are square pamphlets for square schools. Square frames hang on the square floor, square business cards carry names, square tapes sit on square speakers, square dictionaries fill square shelves, and square letters pile up in drawers. These square things have now become her memories too.

[Pre-Chorus]
The square Korean flag flies high in the sky, and the horoscope in a square magazine gives her a little hope in an otherwise hopeless time.

[Chorus]
Again, she looks around and sees only square things everywhere. People always say the world is round and we should live openly, but she’s confused why everything feels so boxed and square. Maybe this is just a dream of squares, showing how stuck and limited life feels sometimes.
