SNEAKERS by Itzy Lyrics Meaning – Tapping Into Freedom One Step at a Time
Lyrics
Let’s go
Like what?
자유로운 기분 I like that
고민 따윈 already done, done (done, done)
색안경 끼고 보는 게 죄지
That’s not my fault, whoa
Told ya, I don’t care at all
내 멋대로 갈 거야 (oh-oh)
필요 없어 order
Don’t need no guidance, I’m makin’ my way
I’m on my way up (top, top)
Run to the top (ah-ooh)
난 언제든 straight up (alright)
원래 두려운 게 없어 난
상관없어 call me trouble
Or you can call me weirdo
나로 살고 싶어
턱 끝을 치켜올린 채로
다 가질 듯한 attitude 그거면 돼
(I)
Put my sneakers on
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go
Put my sneakers on
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
Put my sneakers on
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go
멀리 가보자고 yeah, yeah
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
기다리던 순간 stand up, stand up
빨리 뛰는 심장 don’t stop, don’t stop
Get loose
불태워 지금 my youth (지금 my youth)
The party ain’t started
시작도 안 했어 난 (oh-oh)
요즘 꽂힌 말이 하나 있지
My best is yet to come
상관없어 call me trouble
Or you can call me weirdo
나로 살고 싶어
턱 끝을 치켜올린 채로
다 가질 듯한 attitude 그거면 돼
(I)
Put my sneakers on
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go
Put my sneakers on (that’s right)
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
Put my sneakers on
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go (get set, go)
멀리 가보자고 yeah, yeah
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
자유롭게 뛰고 싶어
다른 사람 시선들 don’t care now (hey, hey)
어디까지 가게 될지 모르지만
일단은 start right now
Yeah, alright (alright)
멈추지 마 to the top (yeah)
Don’t worry about it, ’cause you know I
Put my sneakers on
상관없어 call me trouble
Or you can call me weirdo
나로 살고 싶어
(I live my life) 턱 끝을 치켜 올린 채로
다 가질 듯한 attitude 그거면 돼
You better put your sneakers on
Put my sneakers on
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go
Put my sneakers on
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
Put my sneakers on (put ’em up now)
하나, 둘 ready, get set, go (oh, yeah)
멀리 가보자고 yeah, yeah
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
자유롭게 뛰고 싶어
다른 사람 시선들 don’t care now (hey, hey)
어디까지 가게 될지 모르지만
일단은 start right now
Yeah, alright (alright)
멈추지 마 to the top (yeah)
같이 걸어 가보자고 (oh-oh)
Put ’em up, put ’em up (yeah, yeah)
Itzy’s ‘SNEAKERS’ isn’t just an auditory feast brimming with vibrant beats and vivacious vocals; it’s a manifesto of emancipation and self-assertion served on a platter of pop perfection. The track captures the zeitgeist of the contemporary K-pop revolution like a mirror reflects the sun – bright, unabashed, and full of energy.
In an era that grapples with themes of identity, liberty, and the courage to be one’s authentic self, ‘SNEAKERS’ emerges as both an anthem and a cathartic release for those who stride in the direction of their dreams, undeterred by the gazes that seek to weigh them down.
Lacing Up for a Journey of Self-Discovery
The hook ‘Put my sneakers on’ is more than a catchy phrase to sing along to; it’s a pledge to embark on a journey that might not have a clear destination but begins with the confidence of self-starting energy. The lyrics entwine the simplicity of donning a pair of sneakers with the profound step of beginning something new, fresh, and unburdened by the past.
Itzy’s ode to sneakers signifies a readiness to explore, to move forward despite uncertainties. It’s a youthful narrative of embracing spontaneity, breaking free from the shackles of societal norms, and the excitement that comes with standing on the precipice of one’s burgeoning individuality.
Lyrics That Walk the Talk of Individuality
By shunning ‘색안경 끼고 보는 게 죄지’, which translates to the sin of viewing through colored lenses, Itzy deftly calls out the act of judgment based on prejudices. It’s a powerful repudiation of bias, asserting that culpability lies not with the one being judged but with the judge.
The song’s verses dispense with the need for guidance or orders. This attitude refracts the youthful spirit of wanting neither to lead nor to follow but to carve out a unique path. It’s a narrative rich with the themes of self-guidance and forging ahead according to one’s internal compass.
The Hidden Meaning of ‘SNEAKERS’ – A Leap into Independence
The subtext of ‘SNEAKERS’ belies a much deeper meaning than its upfront celebration of youth and freedom. It repudiates the trope of seeking external approval and reclaims the power of self-validation. Itzy posits a world where one’s worth is not measured by external accolades but by internal satisfaction.
Through lines like ‘상관없어 call me trouble / Or you can call me weirdo / 나로 살고 싶어”, Itzy embraces the labels society might thrust upon the individual while refusing to be defined by them. It’s about living on one’s own terms, a clarion call for authenticity in an often inauthentic world.
Memorable Lines that Resonate with Rebellious Spirits
‘자유로운 기분 I like that / 고민 따윈 already done, don’ beautifully encapsulate the crux of the song. The lyrics translate to a mood of freedom and discarding of worries, pretty much summarizing the carpe diem philosophy that underpins much of youth culture.
‘The party ain’t started / 시작도 안 했어 난’ proclaims that the journey Itzy is on is just at its dawn. The metaphorical ‘party’ alludes to the grand adventure that life promises, and the excitement of merely starting out, capturing the thrill of burgeoning potential.
Exploring the Synergy between Itzy’s Sound and Substance
The energetic soundscape of ‘SNEAKERS’ is meticulously engineered to complement its lyrical message. The upbeat tempo and punchy rhythm impel the body into motion just as the lyrics stimulate the mind. Itzy masterfully synchronizes their artful composition with the liberating message they convey.
The danceability of ‘SNEAKERS’ is not a mere aspect of its charm but a part of Itzy’s broader narrative strategy. As the fans – ‘Midzy’ – slip into their sneakers and dance along, they’re unwittingly partaking in the very act of freedom and self-expression that ‘SNEAKERS’ itself is an ode to.
