01 라일락 (LILAC) [title]
Lyrics By IU Composed By Im Su Ho / Dr. JO / Woong Kim / N!ko Arranged by Im Su Ho / Woong Kim / N!ko
My eyes sting from the flying pollen (ouch) Though tears swell in my eyes, I’ll endure it I’ll keep it in a secret orgel box in the corner of my heart Since it’s a moment that i’ll rewind forever
Please take good care of our last page Could any farewell be more perfect than this Love me only till this spring
Oh Lilac, on the day the flower withers, good bye This ending fits right Farewell, a flower petal-like farewell Our ivory colored spring climax Ah, how delightful it is!
Ooh ooh Love me only till this spring Like the spring breeze Ooh ooh Love me only till this spring Like the spring breeze
This sweet feeling makes me hum along (lala) The corner of my lips go up *How could the sky and wind be so perfect I especially like the way I look today
Tell me I look pretty like you did on the first day we met Could any farewell be as sweet as this Love resembles misty dream
Oh Lilac, on the day the flower withers, good bye This ending fits right It’s a farewell like the falling petals Our ivory colored spring climax Ah, how delightful it is!
Ooh ooh Love resembles misty dream Like a drifting cloud Ooh ooh Love resembles misty dream Like a drifting cloud
Will you someday forget me, too? The facial expressions right now and the scent of today Like a spring’s dream that passes by in the wink of a sweet nap
Oh Lilac, on the day the flower withers, good bye Your answer makes me cry Farewell, a promise-like farewell Our ivory colored spring climax Ah, how delightful it is!
Ooh ooh Love me only untill this spring Like the spring breeze Ooh ooh Love me only untill this spring Like the spring breeze
Ooh ooh Love resembles misty dream Like a drifting cloud Ooh ooh Love resembles misty dream Like a drifting cloud
*t/n: A reference to Good Day’s lyrics - Why is the sky so much more blue? Why is the breeze so perfect today?

02 FLU (Flu)
Lyrics By IU Composed By Ryan S. Jhun / Martin Coogan / Madilyn Bailey / Zacchariah Palmer / London Jackson / Jacob Chatelain Arranged By Jacob Chatelain / London Jackson / Ryan S. Jhun
Flu-hu-hu-hu-hu Flu-hu-hu-hu-hu
Doc, I’m feeling bad I have a mild fever and I feel dizzy too there’s too much pain Cold sweat flows and my whole body feels sticky
I have a terrible feeling that this will be a mess I hear a buzzing like a final warning in my ears Hold on a sec, oh damn, I got a bad flu
I can’t believe it Oh no, like a fool I fall in love again When we lock eyes briefly, I’m very embarrassed There’s a virus spreading all over my body And I keep taking in hot breaths Until I pass out
Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu hu-hu-hu-hu-hu This pain is like Flu hu huhuhu flu flu hu hu hu Oh, like a fool
I have no plan So I have no choice but to suffer because of you for a long time What an irony There’s a tingling pain in my heart
But a subtle smile slips out of the corner of my lips on its own Hold on a sec, oh damn I got a bad flu
I can’t believe it Oh no, like a fool I fall in love again When we lock eyes briefly, I’m very embarrassed It’s a virus that spreads all over my body And I keep taking in hot breaths Until I pass out
Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu hu-hu-hu-hu-hu This pain is like Flu hu huhuhu flu flu hu hu hu Oh, like a fool
Even though I’ve tried with all my might It’s too much for me at this point I feel like I’ve been completely defeated
I can’t avoid it (I can’t) Like an unforeseen accident I fall in love again (Mmm, fall) I precariously approach, the dangerous Everest There’s a siren ringing in my heart And I keep taking in heavy breaths Until I pass out
Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu hu-hu-hu-hu-hu This pain is like Flu hu huhuhu flu flu hu hu hu Oh, like a fool
Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu hu-hu-hu-hu-hu This pain is like Flu hu huhuhu flu flu hu hu hu Oh, like a fool

03 Coin (Coin) [title]
Lyrics By IU Composed By Poptime / kako / IU Arranged by Poptime
I go harsher on the high rollers, I love gamble A new world opens up the bolder I get, on my table I’m sorry, but the world has always been unfair So, that’s why it’s damn fun
Now I move I move I move I move I move Go ahead
I don’t look no look no look no look no look What’s in my hand
I said go
Baby, you know how far I’ll go once I go crazy Since it’s the final game I’ll make mistakes with no regrets
I can’t die I’m all-in
Born to be a gambler Have never even learnt it, even no tutor Even with a terrible hand, I’ll do a clean sweep Behave yourself if you want to learn a trick
I seize the victory tight in my hands Worth more than jewels Go play somewhere else It’s no kids zone I risk my life brutally in every round, like a bullfight
Go vamos vamos vamos vamos vamos Go ahead
It’s new rule new rule new rule new rule new rule Watch your back
I said go
Baby, you know what I’m betting on in this round Since it’s the final betting I’ll make a mess of this table
I can’t die I’m all-in
Queen, Nicely done. My bad you lose. No pleading looks, that’s the rule in our game
Come on, give it up. Wholly you lose. Stop, I’ll finish you off right here
I can’t die I’m all-in
(It’s my last no game no more no more)
I can’t die I’m all-in
(It’s my last no game no more no more)
I can’t die I’m all-in

04 봄 안녕 봄 (Hi spring Bye)
Lyrics By IU Composed By Naul Arranged by Kang Hwa Seong
Even your name that used to cause pain doesn’t make me regretful anymore I want to keep on with my life as if I’ve forgotten everything and meet you once more as a coincidence
The lowly-blowing breeze, The faint hint of a season, They’re not unfamiliar to me at all So I reach out my hand, just in case
Spring, My dear, I suppose you’ve always been my spring Like the warm voice that used to call out my name
I suppose it’s a friendly regard that you’ve been well You’re as beautiful as ever Hi, bye
On the street we used to walk side by side A flower has bloomed before we know it I was walking past quickly pretending not to notice it, but I turned around, just in case
Spring, My dear, I suppose you’ve always been my spring Like the comfortable smile that lit up your cheeks fully
I suppose it’s a friendly regard that you’ve been well You’re as beautiful as ever Hi
I’ll walk diligently on different streets everyday so that we can meet again I’ll be waiting like this
My dear, I suppose you’re hugging me again Like those days when you offer an embrace with open arms without saying a word
I suppose it’s a friendly goodbye telling me to stay well and even better than before
I won’t pretend to be oblivious My dear, I’ll recognise you first, like this Hi

05 Celebrity (Celebrity)
Chorus by IU Lyrics by IU Composed by Ryan S. Jhun, Jeppe London Bilsby, Lauritz Emil Christiansen, IU, Chloe Latimer, Celine Svanback Arranged by Jeppe London Bilsby, Lauritz Emil Christiansen, Ryan S. Jhun
Living at the edges of society, Grown up with a slouch in your shoulders, An outsider that is a nuisance to everyone
From your walk, to your clothes, to the music playlist in your earphones, everything is *minor.
I bet you have no idea Above your lowered head Where the bright lights Are shining towards
It’s alright to take your time I just hope you’ll know in the end The one and only You are my celebrity
Don’t forget, between the clouded darkness You’re a star painted with the left hand Can’t you see it? I mean how beautiful that one and only is You are my celebrity
Celebrity You are my celebrity
Your weary face looks as though Someone had powered you off The sound of your heartbeat, too quiet
The glow you possess, Imagination, identity They’re all on a diet
I bet you have no idea Written for you, who hasn’t fully bloomed, A bygone love poem
It’s alright to wander around I just hope you’ll smile in the end The one and only You are my celebrity
Don’t forget, between the clouded darkness, You’re a star painted with the left hand Can’t you see it? I mean how beautiful that one and only is You are my celebrity
A constellation followed by each footprint A rough sketch engraved by those clumsy steps It’s a path to meet you only Just take that path, trace the dotted line
Don’t forget, amidst this long winter A flower will bloom through the frozen cracks Can’t you see it? I mean how beautiful spring will be tomorrow You are my celebrity
Celebrity You are my celebrity

06 돌림노래 (Troll) Feat. DEAN
Lyrics By IU / DEAN Composed By Park Woo Sang / JUNNY / DEAN Arranged By Park Woo Sang
One two three four Uh-uh uh-uh
You can call me late at night without feeling guilty You can spit out nonsense that you won’t even recall (the next day) Come visit me without notice (anytime you want) You can ruin my day I don’t want to call this love though
We’re lingering around the worst zone
We’re lost in a circle This sickening spinning troll We’re moving back-to-back, there seems to be no end to this
Too easy and so simple (rolly rolly rolly roll) Take it easy without much thoughts (rolly rolly rolly roll)
As this continues There’s only one song streaming in my head all day long
You already know you’re my favourite but i’m your ex-boy friend (ex boyfriend) And I admit that I almost crossed the line But it’s the ninth time now baby tell me something (tell me something) When you’re just lying next to me like this, how do you feel? Do you still feel the same?
We’re lingering around the worst zone
We’re lost in a circle This sickening spinning troll We’re moving back-to-back, there seems to be no end to this
Too easy and so simple (rolly rolly rolly roll) Take it easy without much thoughts (rolly rolly rolly roll)
As this continues There’s only one song streaming in my head all day long
You feel it too right, that we’re consistently lacking You do you, and I do me
It’s okay to be as bad as you want Cause I love to look at you from behind even more
We’re lost in a circle This sickening spinning troll We’re moving back-to-back, there seems to be no end to this
Too easy and so simple (rolly rolly rolly roll) Take it easy without much thoughts (rolly rolly rolly roll)
As this continues There’s only one song streaming in my head all day long

06 빈컵 (Empty Cup)
Lyrics By IU Composed By Woogie / Penomeco Arranged by Woogie
Gazing at me with those pale eyes, you shine bright like always without change The only difference is that I no longer love Those eyes that used to drive me crazy
Ah, sorry
I no longer want to force myself to change my mind
I’m sick of your love Sick of your love Sick of your all
I hate the dullness That’s eating us up
Too fed up with us Fed up with us Fed up with all
Criticize me and claw at me As much as you want
There are still remnants Of the once passionate feelings They are lighter now, I guess this is all that’s left of it
I’m sick of your love Sick of your love Sick of your all
I hate the familiarity of pushing back a break up
Too fed up with us Fed up with us Fed up with all
Hate me and claw at me As much as you want
Sorry, I’m sick of your love I’m sick of your love Too sick of your love I’m sick and tired of your all Sick of this love Just fed up with us and our love Sick of your love Just sick of this love

08 아이와 나의 바다 (My sea)
Lyrics By IU Composed By Jehwi / Kim Hee Won Arranged by Jehwi
Still, there are things that do not heal even after time My heart is poor tonight as I am unable to love myself perfectly
I feel awkward looking at the face in the mirror So I close my eyes silently like a habit And when night falls, I want to hurry and move onto tomorrow The child who dreamed a different dream everyday underneath the shower of wishes
Did she suffer for so long just to become me? As the days pile up, we become further apart I don’t think we will be able to reconcile with one another And I don’t think it will get better
When I was young, there was always an ocean that would never run dry in my heart Now in this faint place where only traces remain
I could hear the sound of my breath filled with excitement And the cool breeze blowing over my head I want to become a wave and run to just anywhere Though a little scared, I hope when I slowly open my eyes
The world comes to me at every moment and turns into a dazzling gift And only then, I think I’ll be able to give answers to the me, who used to have a number of doubts
The memories from the other side are calling me Upon hearing the voice that I had forgotten for a very long time
I stem the waves and return to the place where the sea inside me was born
Even if I get swept away and lose my way, I’m free I no longer close my eyes to the darkness that confines me anymore I won’t ignore myself ever again
Nonetheless, I bet there will still sometimes be days in which I lose to life But I’ll know my way back even if I lose my way again

09 어푸 (Ah puh)
Lyrics By IU / Lee Chan Hyuk Composed By Lee Chan Hyuk / PEEJAY Arranged by PEEJAY
I’m such a good surfer I don’t sink Wobble wo-wobble around then plop, uh Even if I fall, I’ve graduated from life jackets
I’m such a good surfer I don’t get swept away Feeling nauseous na-nauseous then throw up I can’t stand losing even if I throw up
The highest wave I get on top of it, ra-cha-cha woo-ah The timing to disappear with the tsunami I’ll decide that myself What fears are you talking about, this is fun
You mean the days when I go *ah-ah-ah puh-puh-puh and fl-fl-flounder about in water? Hey, come on, Why are you bringing up this old news? Swimming like a fish splash splash
I get myself w-w-wet and W-w-wet F-f-fearlessly t-t-throw myself in Hey, come on, Why are you so surprised? I’ll show you something more interesting When the wave has come
I’m a bubble maker A villain dreadfully tormenting this calm ocean, uh Even when I grow old, old habits die hard
I’m a bubble maker At this point Splash s-splash motion sickness, I suck it up Even if I swallow water, I can’t leave this place
The highest wave I get on top of it, ra-cha-cha woo-ah The timing to crash against the sea swells I’ll decide that myself What fears are you talking about, this is fun
You mean the days when I go *ah-ah-ah puh-puh-puh and fl-fl-flounder about in water? Hey, come on, Why are you bringing up this old news? Swimming with no floaties splash splash
Oh we meet again Until the next time we meet Please wish me luck So we can meet till we’re sick of each other
I’ll get going first to the crest of waves Hey, come on, Why are you so surprised? I’ll show you something more interesting When the wave has come
I get myself w-w-wet and W-w-wet F-f-fearlessly t-t-throw myself in Hey, come on, Why are you so fretful? I’ll disappear like the bubbles When the time has come
*t/n: 어푸 (ah puh) is an onomatopoeia for the sound you make when you’re swimming (spitting water out of your mouth) e.g. “pfui pfui” in english.

10 에필로그 (Epilogue)
Lyrics By IU Composed By Shim Eun Ji / SUMIN / Kim Soo Yeong / Im Geum Bi Arranged by Shim Eun Ji / Kim Soo Yeong
Were you glad to know me? Were you happy to love me? Are the old songs that I used to sing for us still comforting?
My dear, all these questions if you answer ‘yes’ to them That alone will make me nod and make my life Oh, meaningful enough
With no doubt in my heart, I move on (from your life) just like this I won’t be anywhere but perhaps my traces will be everywhere I believe it’s possible
My dear, could the memories with me that aren’t short, bring a smile to your face even a little? Are you still proud that we were together at some point in life?
All these bashful questions If you answer ‘yes’ to them That alone will bring tears to my eyes and my life Oh, you have no idea, an ending that I’ve been yearning for
With no doubt in my heart, I move onto the next just like this As we keep on with our lives, we’ll meet each other again I believe we will
With no lingering attachment tonight, I fall into a deep sleep And the day that you’re willing to hear out my dreams shall come you will hear me out, right?

220917 The Golden Hour (day 1) in Jamsil VCR + Ah Puh by IU by: mmmin 🌙 please do not re-upload.
Ah puh by IU is really hitting my brain just right lately (the whole album really) i still don’t know what the song is about entirely, my interpretation of the lyrics is that they’re about finding fun in the challenge of riding the wave-like ups and downs of life (maybe specifically celebrity life? reminds me of bbibbi and 23 a little) and feeling confident in her own ability to wave-ride
