a thread of creepy, quirky and bizarre f(x) songs and lyrics for future reference ImageImage
✧ shadow

from start to finish, sung from the pov of a psychotically obsessed stalker who follows their target twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ toy

a song about getting out from a toxic and abusive relationship using the words “collector” and “toy” to symbolize the abuser and the victim twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ pretty girl

another feministic f(x) song, but this time criticizing unrealistic beauty standards of society. tells the story of an ugly protagonist who casts a spell on pretty girls so that they all appear indistinguishable, causing them to lose their uniqueness twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ step

a sequel to the previous song where the ugly protagonist turns out to have evolved into a confident, self-loving woman. this still divides her from the pretty girls who fall for societal pressure, because she takes pride wearing sneakers, not heels! and that’s ok! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ red light

criticizing and confronting the sewol ferry incident (2014) while directly referencing the controversial anti-fascist book ‘fahrenheit 451’ by ray bradbury twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ rum pum pum pum

the korean title ‘첫 사랑니’ = first wisdom tooth - but if you remove the last syllable it literally translates to ‘first love’ instead. the lyrics uses painful wisdom tooth aches to metaphorically describe the painful aspects of a first love twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ milk

about the healing properties of cold milk as a tool to ease burns; where the burns lyrically represent heartaches from a heartbreak instead twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ when i’m alone

written by carly rae jepsen, the creepy lyrics seem to be about making love with a ghost but it’s actually about m*sturbation twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ me + u

using math terms “f(x)” “difficult problem” “add me” “concentration” “teach me” in a classroom setting to describe a student thirsting over her teacher twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ papi

probably one of the craziest and hardest club edm songs by f(x), and it’s an empowering song about feeling liberated and having sugar daddies twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ sweet witches

produced by hitchhiker, sweet witches who concoct a magic formula and drug their love down in order for them to stay eternally in love with each other twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
nvm just came back to 5 likes and 3 people praising f(x) in the quotes… let me add some more b4 i go to sleep
✧ spit it out

a song about rejection and getting played which in f(x)’s language translates to getting your heart devoured now the girls are yelling at you to spit it out for 3 minutes straight twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ snapshot

another female empowerment anthem but with marilyn monroe references! “ladies and gentlemen Mesdames et messieurs” is so fucking iconic. the song itself is insanely theatrical as well twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ dracula

vaguely inspired by the tale of little red riding hood, dracula is another theatrical f(x) song including jumpscare screams and the girls chanting “dracula” like a mantra towards the end. stockholm syndrome themes of falling in love with your kidnapper/killer twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ airplane

the scary and uncertain journey of love being metaphorically portrayed through the journey of riding an airplane - everything from take off to landing. the girls ate this concept up.
✧ boom bang boom

another lyrically GENIUS song; describing a whole boxing match and the girls wanting to renovate your whole face with their fists - but the hidden meaning behind this is actually how exhausting and crazy a “push and pull” relationship can be twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ayo wtf just opened my eyes to a bunch of likes b4 i finished this thread, guys dont forget to add f(x) to ur playlists <3 also to everyone suggesting other songs in the quotes i hear u!

open.spotify.com/artist/3wRA5UY…
f(x) consists of the members krystal sulli amber luna and victoria which are individually active and successful as actors, singers, soloists n celebrities <3 debuted in 2009 under sm!
✧ 4 walls

“love is 4 walls”, a complex song full of emotions & different interpretations, the main idea consists of explaining different layers of trauma and emotions within a loving relationship, using a house (4 walls) and its inhabitants twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ x

a funky and soulful song full of wordplays, describing the feelings associated with a first love using chemical terms and reactions! i like to think about ‘chemical X’ as being a reference to the powerpuff girls but with the magic happening internally :) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ butterfly

whimsical and dark song about unrequited love where the girl transforms herself into a butterfly in order to be able to experience her love, the lyrics are quirky and extremely creative twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
✧ danger (pinocchio)

inspired by geppetto who created pinocchio, this is another delirious f(x) song but about them having serious attachment issues by creating their own perfect boyfriend & gatekeeping him from the outside world twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
this will be the end! to clarify this thread is incomplete n nowhere consisting of all their quirky songs, just picked out some of my favs with extra focus on the lyrics!

here are some actual song recommendations if u wanna get into f(x) <3 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#fyi: f(x)’s music used in this thread have been critically acclaimed by international music critics & topped billboard charts since 2012 (extremely rare back then) <3 the more u know ImageImageImageImage
