Cool
Ilgen-Nur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wake up at the afternoon
And just because i'm twenty doesn't mean i know what to do
Haven't figured out what my Life will be like tomorrow
Haven't figured out what my Life was like yesterday
And I'm just try'n to be cool, but i Feel like a fool 2x
Still figuring out who i am
Haven't figured out what my Life was like Today
Just Lay in bed and now i wanna Stay
I like riding my bike, but i don't do it a lot these days
And i like putting lipstick on,
even though i know it will smudge someday
I like wearing all black, because it makes me feel more mysterious
Ans i Think looking at my mum is like
looking in the mirror and i Kind of like it
Ans i'm just tryna be Cool, but i feel like a fool 2x
I'm still figuring out who i am
Still figuring out how to end
Haven't figured out what my Life was like Today
Just Lay in bed and now i wanna Stay
Just tryna be cool, but i feel like a cool 5x
The lyrics to Ilgen-Nur's song "Cool" suggest a sense of uncertainty and hesitation. The artist is struggling to come to grips with who they are and what their purpose might be. The song speaks to the struggles of young adulthood, where one may feel pressure to "have it all figured out" despite not really knowing where to begin. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-expression, with the artist mentioning their love of riding bikes, wearing all black, and putting on lipstick. These seemingly small and insignificant things are actually important ways that the artist feels they can express themselves and feel more confident.
Despite their efforts to be "cool," the artist still feels like a fool. This can be seen as a kind of self-deprecation, where the artist is hyper-aware of their insecurities and not sure how to overcome them. The line "I'm still figuring out how to end" suggests a sense of finality or closure that the artist is not sure how to reach. The song ends on the abrupt note of wanting to stay in bed, which could be interpreted as a desire to escape reality and avoid facing the challenges of growing up.
Overall, the lyrics to "Cool" are relatable for anyone who has struggled with coming into their own as a person. The song expresses the complexities of identity and the overwhelming pressure to "be cool," while also acknowledging the small joys and obsessions that make life more meaningful.

The guy walking with a bicycle at 0:25 - 0:30 is Maximilian Mundt, the leading actor as Moritz Zimmermann role in Netflix's How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast) show.
I discovered Ilgen-Nur from the show, with her song called 17. I think I've got a connection now :) And she thanks him as "Maxi" in the video. I guess they were friends!
You're welcome for this useless info :)
El Chapo Kush
