Lips by Ive Lyrics Meaning – A Dive Into the Bold Honesty of Desire
Lyrics
이런 날도 몇 번짼지
No doubt, I know you lie
언제나 사랑은 어렵지
망설이지마, 어때? 솔직한 게 좋은데
투명한 니 맘이 다 보여
난 거짓말을 잘 못해 솔직한 것뿐인데
한순간 니 맘을 뺏지
뭘 자꾸 고민하고 있어?
꼭 다문 lips 사이 달콤한 그 말이
(My lips don’t lie)
새어 나오고 있어
꼭 간직한 맘이 너를 본 그 순간
(My lips don’t lie)
Uh-oh
On me, on me, on me, baby
Uh-oh
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be honest
Uh-oh
Got me, got me, got me like, ooh
Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh
Okay 네게 점점 가까워
위태로운 기분 재밌어
기대해, 우리 사이 바뀔 today
Ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh
La-la 나랑 같이 걸을까? 내일 봐
알아, 나도 좋아, 뭘 재고 있어? 이제 그만
망설이지마, 어때? 솔직한 게 좋은데
투명한 니 맘이 다 보여
난 거짓말을 잘 못해 솔직한 것뿐인데
한순간 니 맘을 뺏지
뭘 자꾸 고민하고 있어?
꼭 다문 lips 사이 달콤한 그 말이
(My lips don’t lie)
새어 나오고 있어
꼭 간직한 맘이 너를 본 그 순간
(My lips don’t lie)
Uh-oh
On me, on me, on me, baby
Uh-oh
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be honest
Uh-oh
Got me, got me, got me like, ooh
Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh
입안 가득 녹은 feeling
달콤한 노랠 불러줘
내 예쁜 입술은 네게만
사랑을 말해 I love it, yeah
뭘 자꾸 고민하고 있어?
꼭 다문 lips 사이 달콤한 그 말이
(My lips don’t lie)
새어 나오고 있어
꼭 간직한 맘이 너를 본 그 순간
(My lips don’t lie)
Uh-oh
On me, on me, on me, baby
Uh-oh
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be honest
Uh-oh
Got me, got me, got me like, ooh
Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh
My lips don’t lie
My lips don’t lie
꼭 닿을 듯 말 듯 가까운 lips 사이
My lips don’t lie
In an era where the veil between honesty and deception blurs with every beat drop, the spectacle of K-pop is often left unpeeled to reveal the complex emotions it harbors. Ive’s ‘Lips’ unpacks this with clean precision, as if it’s surgically removing layers of pretense to expose the raw nerves of vulnerability and confession.
With an infectious groove and lyrics that veer between coy flirtation and direct proclamation, ‘Lips’ holds a dialogue with the age-old narrative of romantic tension. While bathed in beats and synths, it is the story of truth and the yearning to share it that galvanizes listeners into a deep reflection of their own expressions of love and desire.
The Insomnia of Unspoken Words – Parsing Through the Sleepless Nights
The song opens on an intimate note – a sleepless night brought on by the weight of unvoiced thoughts. It’s a picture most are painfully familiar with, where the darkness is echoed by the silence of ‘lights out’. This somnolent imagery paired with Ive’s silky vocals immediately immerses the listener in the moodiness of a mind grappling with honesty.
Why such restlessness, one might ask? It’s the price paid when words yearn to leap off the tongue, and ‘Lips’ articulates this restless desire with poetic urgency. The night becomes a canvas for the songs deeper themes – the juxtaposition of what is said and what is ardently felt.
A Beacon of Truth in a Sea of Lies – The Power of Candor
There’s a strident call for transparency as the lyrics implore, ‘don’t hesitate.’ This plea for forthrightness is the linchpin around which ‘Lips’ rotates, transforming the track into an anthem for unadulterated expression. Ive’s lines reveal a person tired of love games, seeking an unequivocal honesty that is often elusive.
The quintessential ‘My lips don’t lie’ evolves into a motif, one that’s as sugary as it is subversive. Through repetitious declaration, the song underscores the notion that true empowerment in relationships comes from a place of being candid, even when vulnerability is at stake.
A Sweet Escape Through Melody – The Magnetic Pull of Music
Balancing the weighted themes of truth is the agile production of ‘Lips’. The melody isn’t just an accessory; it’s a liberating force that carries the listener to a place where the heart’s contents can pour out as freely as the notes played. Ive’s command to sing a sweet song resonates as a direct command to the listener, to seek liberation through music.
In this sense, ‘Lips’ also becomes a metaphorical playground where feelings that are stuck, melted, and molded, are finally released into the wild through song. The narrative isn’t just about speaking one’s truth, but also about the medium—music—as an avenue for revelation.
Between the Lines – The Hidden Meaning of ‘Lips’
It would be a mistake to discount ‘Lips’ as a simple tale of love’s confession. The hidden layers become discernible upon closer inspection. It’s a dance between nearness and distance, symbolized by closed lips that are almost touching. The lyrics oscillate between personal hesitation and the universal longing for closeness.
This duality mirrors contemporary relationships’ contradictions where openness battles the dread of uncertainty. ‘Lips’ then is as much about embracing truths as it is about the challenge of dropping the facades that keep us protected yet isolated in our increasingly digitally-mediated social spheres.
‘My lips don’t lie’ – The Anthem Line That Echoes On
Every great song resonates with a line that lingers long after the music fades, and in ‘Lips’, it is the simple yet evocative ‘My lips don’t lie’ that becomes etched into the psyche. The phrase is a declaration of authenticity, an avowal that aims for the heart and doesn’t miss.
This line is the musical climax that echoes the truth Ive professes. As listeners, we’re captivated not just by the insistence of the statement, but by the courage it represents – the bravery to voice one’s feelings in an ocean of silence, to choose authenticity over the masquerade. ‘Lips’ delivers this message with the finesse of a seasoned sculptor chiseling their creed into stone, and we, the listeners, are left enchanted by its raw beauty.
