STAYC - 색안경 (STEREOTYPE) (English Translation) Lyrics
There's something to tell you
You want me to share it with you?
STAYC girls, it's going down
[Verse 1: Sumin, Yoon, J]
It's especially noticeable today
I can see everyone staring at me
The more I feel, the more confident I am
I’d go anywhere blowing my hair
So that my sweet perfume blows, yeah
I like how I always dress myself up
I like being pretty, but listen, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Isa, Seeun]
I know what I look like
Maybe I look pretty, maybe I am daring
It may feel like I’m seducing you
If so, I'm sorry
[Chorus: Yoon, J, Sieun]
Don't look with your tinted glasses on
I'm a different woman
You should know, but I'm still afraid even I look fancy
I'm a good girl, yeah
If you hold me too hard, it's suffocating
Maybe I'm a little clumsy, but I'm still
Don't look with your tinted glasses on
Oh baby, baby, baby
I like to be bold fashioned, like it, uh-huh
I like to stand out, digest anything somehow yeah
Sometimes even I really don't know how I feel
It's me, but
[Pre-Chorus: Isa, Seeun]
I know what I look like
Maybe I look pretty, maybe I am daring
It may feel like I’m seducing you
If so, I'm sorry
[Chorus: Yoon, Sumin, Sieun]
Don't look at me with tinted glasses on
I'm a different woman
You should know, but I'm still afraid even I look fancy
I'm a good girl, yeah
If you hold me too hard, it's suffocating
Maybe I'm a little clumsy, but I'm still
Don't look with your tinted glasses on
Oh baby, baby, baby
[Bridge: J, Seeun, Sumin]
All right, all right, it’s only the surface of me
Oh, why? Oh, why? Don't judge me with your prejudiced eyes
Oh, my undecorated self
Oh, the way I am
Please like me, I'm still tender
I want you to know that
Don't look with your tinted glasses on
I'm a different woman
You should know, but I'm still afraid even I look fancy
I'm a good girl, yeah
If you hold me too hard, it's suffocating
Maybe I'm a little clumsy, but I'm still
Don't look with your tinted glasses on
Oh baby, baby, baby
About
‘Stereotype’ by STAYC is about stereotyping people, and arguably, specifically woman. Society believes that when a woman dresses up, they overly confident and are trying to dress up for men and want to seduce them. This is described with the lines, “Don’t look at me with tinted glasses on/I’m a different woman/You should know, but I’m still afraid even I look fancy” (a line that shows that just because someone may dress up, doesn’t mean that they’re confident), and the line “Maybe I look pretty, maybe I am daring/It may feel like I’m seducing you
If so, I’m sorry” (a line that shows just because a woman dresses up, even if it’s something that is revealing, that doesn’t mean they’re dressing up for men or trying to seduce them)
