Iris
L!BAAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
I got people over here, people over there
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
They're calling me the captain, Somalian pirate
I'm looking at their faction, now they're silent
Just another dumb kid looking for guidance
But they don't even understand all the things
That I risk looking through my iris
But people wanna stare, people give me hate
Like I'm Tony Blair but I don't really care
Look at people like they're air, tell me how is that unfair?
Leave my focus in the lair, utilize it with the pen
I say I got a show & people ask "when?"
But they never come, nah these people never come
The next time they're seeing me, they wanna act dumb
Like "Sorry, I got too high, way too high
I was on the way but then I got Thai"
But you & I both know that is a lie
I don't understand why you gotta be sly
But it's all good
I got people over here, people over there
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
I got people over here, people over there
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
I got people over here, people over there
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
It's the sound of the O-T-V
See me; L-!-B, coming through for the P
The lyrics to L!BAAN's song "Iris" speak about the artist's experience with judgment and criticism from others. The opening lines highlight the idea that there are people all around, constantly observing and judging. The reference to being called the "captain, Somalian pirate" can be seen as a metaphor for someone who is perceived as a troublemaker or outcast. The artist recognizes that these judgments have silenced their opponents and acknowledges the struggles faced by a young person in search of guidance.
The lyrics also touch upon the artist's resilience and indifference to the negativity surrounding them. They express a sense of not caring about the hate and judgment, comparing it to Tony Blair's political controversies that they don't concern themselves with. The line "Look at people like they're air, tell me how is that unfair?" suggests that the artist doesn't give importance to those who dismiss them.
The second verse addresses the artist's dedication to their craft, mentioning their commitment to writing and performing. They express frustration at people who claim they will attend shows but never show up, only to later make excuses. This reflects the artist's disappointment in unreliable people trying to reconnect after not taking their art seriously. The artist calls out the insincerity of such individuals and expresses a lack of understanding as to why they act deceitfully.
Overall, the lyrics of "Iris" convey the artist's defiance in the face of criticism and their determination to continue pursuing their passion regardless of external judgments.

I got people over here, people over there
I have friends and supporters in various places
People everywhere, I got people everywhere
There are people supporting me all around
They're calling me the captain, Somalian pirate
They refer to me as a leader, comparing me to a pirate from Somalia
I'm looking at their faction, now they're silent
I observe their group or party, and they become quiet
Just another dumb kid looking for guidance
I'm seen as another naive youngster seeking direction
Wanna put me down every time that I'm smiling
They aim to criticize and belittle me whenever I show happiness
But they don't even understand all the things
That I risk looking through my iris
They fail to comprehend the sacrifices and experiences I face, as symbolized by looking through my eyes
But people wanna stare, people give me hate
Like I'm Tony Blair but I don't really care
People watch me with judgment and hate, comparing me to Tony Blair, but it doesn't affect me
Look at people like they're air, tell me how is that unfair?
I treat people as insignificant, asking how it's unjust
Leave my focus in the lair, utilize it with the pen
I keep my attention to myself, and express it through writing
I say I got a show & people ask 'when?'
When I mention a performance, people inquire about the date
But they never come, nah these people never come
However, those individuals never attend
The next time they're seeing me, they wanna act dumb
When they finally encounter me, they pretend to be clueless
Like 'Sorry, I got too high, way too high
I was on the way but then I got Thai'
They apologize, blaming it on being excessively intoxicated or distracted by Thai cuisine
But you & I both know that is a lie
Yet both you and I are aware that it's untrue
I don't understand why you gotta be sly
I can't comprehend why you need to be cunning
But it's all good
But everything is fine
It's the sound of the O-T-V
The sound represents L!BAAN, the artist associated with O-T-V
See me; L-!-B, coming through for the P
Witness me, L!BAAN, representing and supporting the people
