Your heart, your soul, your feel, your action
Your heart, your soul, your feel, your action
Naegeneun banui bando mot on giri neoegeneun beokchanna
Sumeul da sseonna beolsseo
Ipsureul mulgo tteutgo chojohago isseo

You can be the super and duper B, Ah
'Cause I don't, I, I don''t care
Geujeo geureon neohuideul sesangeun naegen jogeum jiruhae
You're superficial and I'm supernatural
Neoneun geu gose, naeil nan imi jeo wie, geureon chaiil ppun

The lyrics to Wonder Girls' "SuperB" speak about individuality and confidence. The song highlights the idea that every person is unique, and their actions and feelings reflect who they are. The lyrics also touch on the notion that while society may see certain things as being "super" or valuable, that doesn't necessarily mean it's important to every individual. The chorus reflects this message, with the lines "You can be the super and duper B, Ah / 'Cause I don't, I, I don't care / Geujeo geureon neohuideul sesangeun naegen jogeum jiruhae" essentially translating to "You can be what everyone thinks is great, but I don't care, it doesn't matter to me." The verses, on the other hand, are more introspective, with lines like "You're superficial and I'm supernatural / Neoneun geu gose, naeil nan imi jeo wie, geureon chaiil ppun" reflecting on the differences between people and how their personalities and actions define them.
However, the song also touches on the idea that finding oneself and one's purpose can be difficult. The lines "Eotteoke on geonjido seolmyeonghal su eobseo / Machi sumswideut machi kkumkkudeut on gil / Gachi garyeogo haedo mannal suneun eobseo / Pyeonghaengseon sogui yeongwonhan gangyeokcheoreom" speak to the feeling of being lost or uncertain, like walking on a foggy or dreamlike path with no clear destination. It emphasizes the need to keep moving forward, even when the way ahead is unclear.
In summary, the lyrics of "SuperB" encourage listeners to embrace their individuality and not be swayed by society's ideas of what is important. It emphasizes the importance of self-confidence and not being afraid to be different. At the same time, it acknowledges that finding oneself can be a difficult process, but encourages perseverance in the face of uncertainty.
