Lyrics & Translation

[English]

All through those years, I had so many

different hair colors because that was

my statement. That was the symbol to the

world that I have decided to be an

artist. Like, this is who I am. Take it

or leave it. I know it's a little weird.

It's a little different, but I'm just

going to have rainbow colored hair,

whatever I feel like it, right? I'm ever

changing. And so, every time I saw my

dad, he would lecture me about my hair

color. We would have a fight and

argument about it that he would think

it's crazy. Normal people don't have

this hair. How do you expect people to

take you seriously? And then there was

one time that I shared on my podcast in

2015. I arrived with pink hair and my

dad refused to take me to see my

grandma. My grandma was developing

Alzheimer's and he was just saying his

excuse was, "If she sees you like this,

she's going to have a heart attack." And

he drove me to the hair salon to dye my

hair black before I could see her. He

would not let me see her until I did

that. And in that situation, I decided

to just like take the loss, right? I

didn't want to make it an even bigger

fight or bigger scenario, so I just did

it. But that just shows you his level of

forcing his ways onto others based on

what he wants. And even the last time I

saw him was 2019. I went to China with

my friend for a wedding. And when I sat

down with my first dinner with him,

everything was happy. How have we been?

Even my friend was there. And then few

minutes into the dinner, he's like,

"Eileen, come here. What is this hair

color? Why is it still blonde?" And then

he lectures me on my hair again in front

of my friend. And so that's our

relationship.
