Le Sserafim, Illit, Katseye – Iconic By Mistake Lyrics and Meaning

Hating me is like all you do
Breakfast to dinner
Algorithm bullet proof
Br-breaking your fingers
Thank you for the comments

It’s because of all your hate
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake

Engrave it
On my tombstone
I-I survived the fame
And I barely changed
Heart heart it

Heart it harder
Here heart is like a verb
Come heal it where it hurts
Your imagination got me going viral

Life’s a simulation got me in a spiral
24/7, more like 25/8
Honestly, are you OK?

Hating me is like all you do
Breakfast to dinner
Algorithm bullet proof
Br-breaking your fingers
Thank you for the comments

It’s because of all your hate
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake

Never off duty, duty
Taking a beating beating
I keep on cheesing cheesing
Looks are deceiving deceiving
Act like you knew me know me

Flapping your lips foaming
I just keep on going
Too beautiful to be broken
Your imagination got me going viral

Life’s a simulation got me in a spiral
24/7, more like 25/8
Honestly, are you OK?

Hating me is like all you do
Breakfast to dinner
Algorithm bullet proof
Br-breaking your fingers
Thank you for the comments

It’s because of all your hate
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake
Iiii
I am iconic by mistake

I’m just tryna stay me
Dance a little crazy
But now I am iconic from how much you fxxking hate me

Snap my neck 360
Demanding me in 5D
Do this for the dream na na not just for the bag (Ay)
But the bag is nice tho

(Ay)
And I’m so grateful (Ay)
I’m getting kinda spiritual
Been to hell and back, let em judge me, crucible

Your imagination got me going viral
Life’s a simulation got me in a spiral
24/7, more like 25/8
Honestly, are you OK?

Your digital footprint is looking so insane
Hating me is like all you do
Breakfast to dinner
Algorithm bullet proof

Br-breaking your fingers
Thank you for the comments

Iiii I
Iiii I

Iiii Iiii I

Iiii Iiii I
