The lyrics to LPG's song 효녀시대 tell the story of a young woman who struggles with her role in a traditional Korean family. She is expected to be a "good daughter" and marry well, but she finds herself attracted to men who are not approved by her parents. The first verse describes her attraction to a young man who is not of the same social status as her family. She knows that her parents would not approve, but she cannot help her feelings. The second verse describes a similar situation with a man who is not the same religion as her family.
The chorus is a plea to not worry about what others think and to be true to oneself. The young woman is tired of trying to please everyone and she wants to live her life on her own terms. She knows that it will not be easy, but she is determined to be happy.
The lyrics of 효녀시대 are a commentary on the expectations placed on young women in traditional Korean society. The song speaks to the difficulties faced by young women who are expected to be obedient, respectful, and dutiful to their families. The artist, LPG, is known for her socially conscious lyrics and this song is no exception.
