IU - 돌림노래 (Troll) ft. DEAN (English Translation) Lyrics
One, two, three, ooh
Uh-uh, uh-uh
[Verse 1: IU]
You can call late at night without feeling guilty
(The next day) You can spit out nonsense you won't even remember
(Anytime) You can come without letting me know
You can mess up my day
I don't want to say this heart is in love
[Pre-Chorus: IU]
We're circling around the worst part
[Chorus: IU]
We're lost in a circle
This boring spinning troll
We're going back to back, so it can never end
Too easy and so simple (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
Without giving it much thought (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
We keep doing this
In my head, I'm only streaming one melody all day long
[Verse 2: DEAN]
You know you're my favorite
But I'm your ex boyfriend (Ex boyfriend)
I admit that I almost crossed thе line
But now this is the ninth time
Baby tеll 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 circling around the worst part
[Chorus: DEAN & IU, DEAN, IU]
We're lost in a circle
This boring spinning troll
We're going back to back, so it can never end
Too easy and so simple (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
Without giving it much thought (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
We keep doing this
In my head, I'm only streaming one melody all day long
[Bridge: IU, IU & DEAN]
You feel it too, we're not good at being consistent
You are like you and I am like me
It's okay if it's as bad as it is
Because I love more looking at you from behind
[Chorus: DEAN & IU, IU]
We're lost in a circle
This boring spinning troll
We're going back to back, so it can never end
Too easy and so simple (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
Without giving it much thought (Rolly-rolly-rolly-roll)
We keep doing this
In my head, I'm only streaming one melody all day long
About
Marking the dynamic duo’s first collaboration, “Troll” sees IU and DEAN tell the familiar tale of two lovestruck exes who are not quite over each other. The collaboration was highly anticipated by fans since the two had previously shown love to each other—DEAN had supported IU on her 2017 Palette Tour, and in the same year IU had covered the former’s critically acclaimed single “instagram,” released in December of that year.
Sprinkled with sweet melodies, the song begins with IU’s light, euphonious vocals that detail her honest confessions about her feelings. Effortlessly, the second verse showcases DEAN’s soothing vocals which highlight his nonchalant perspective on the relationship. Both singers vulnerably detail the intoxication felt by their time spent together and how hard it is to resist one another. As a result, the two are left hopelessly travelling in circles.
In June 2021, “Troll” surpassed 100 million digital index points on Gaon, making it the 8th song from LILAC to reach this milestone.
