Dude, this song is so meaningful! I knew pH-1 was wise, but this further proves that he's also down to earth, humble and self-aware. Out here expressing his true feelings and not caring about any criticism. I respect this guy so much! Also, I realized this song is pretty much the prequel to Truman Show - Remix!
HERE’S A COUPLE OF EXPLANATIONS OF SOME OF THE LYRICS!!
Hypebeasts = According to urban dictionary, a person that collects clothing, shoes, and accessories for the sole purpose of impressing others and to put up a front that they are doing better/making more money than others.
내로남불 = According to Naver, this is an internet slang abbreviation of '내가하면 로맨스 남이하면 불륜' which refers to the hypocritical nature of people. The sentence literally translates to "If I love someone, it is a romance but if others do, it is an affair.” So Harry is basically saying let’s not be hypocrites, y’all!
비로소 나는 나임을 인정할 때 오는 자유함은 커 아주 커 = I know my translation sounds a bit unnatural. No lie, this was tricky to translate only because I wasn’t sure if I should translate it directly or loosely. So I chose directly…lol Based on my interpretation, Harry is saying that once he admits to himself/accepts how fickle people, including himself, are, then he will be free.
