hii!! could you please do a lyrical breakdown of Sea by BTS?thank u sm!

Hi! Here it is--thank you for the request and your patience! If anyone else has a request, let me know!

I referred to Naver Dictionary, this video, and Genius's translation of this song to help me out! I will also link my full-length lessons of the grammar points throughout if you want more info on them!

Vocabulary

바다 = Sea

해변 = Beach

모래 = Sand

여전히 = Still

사막 = Desert

들이키다 = To bring close

푸르다 = To be blue

파도 = Wave

느끼다 = To feel

아직도 = Still

바람 = Wind

희망 = Hope

절망 = Despair; hopelessness

진짜 = Real; really

가짜 = Fake

시련 = Hardship; trials

불안하다 = To be anxious

아름답다 = To be beautiful

반드시 = Certainly

신기루 = Mirage

두렵다 = To be afraid

Grammar

I don't know, I don't know / 내가 지금 파도를 느끼고 있는지, yeah / I don't know, I don't know / 아직도 모래바람에 쫓기고 있는지, yeah / I don't know, I don't know / 바다인지 사막인지 희망인지 절망인지 / 진짜인지 가짜인지

I don't know, I don't know / If I'm feeling the sea right now, yeah / I don't know, I don't know / Or if I'm still being chased by the sandstorm, yeah / I don't know, I don't know / Whether it's the sea, the desert, hope, or despair / Whether it's real or fake

-고 있다

This is the present progressive form in Korean. We know it in English as -ing. 느끼다 means "to feel," while 느끼고 있다 means "feeling." 쫓기다 means "to be chased," while 쫓기고 있다 means "being chased."

-ㄴ/는지

This is attached to stems to mean "whether" or "if." In contexts like this, it is used with verbs 알다 (to know) and 모르다 (to not know). The lines 내가 지금 파도를 느끼고 있는지, yeah / I don't know, I don't know, mean "I don't know if I'm feeling the waves right now." To write this in full Korean, you would just put 모르다 after 있는지.

불안하더라도 사막일지라도 / 아름다운 나미브 사막이라고

Even if you're anxious, even if it's a desert / It's the beautiful Namib Desert

-더라도

-더라도 is similar to -아/어/여도 and means "even though/if." I think a difference between the two would be that -더라도 sounds a little stronger, kind of like the word "despite" in English.

희망이 있는 곳엔 반드시 시련이 있네

Where there is hope, there is always hardship

[verb stem] + 는 + [noun]

This is the structure used to describe nouns with verbs (aka putting verbs into their noun-modifying form). 희망 is "hope," 있다 means "to be there," and "곳" means "place." Altogether, it means "the place where hope is" or "where there is hope."

-네(요)

This sentence ending expresses surprise or admiration. In this case, this line could be expressing surprise at the fact that there is always hardship where there is hope.

바다인줄 알았던 여기는 되려 사막이었고 / 별거 없는 중소아이돌이 두번째 이름이었어

I thought this was a sea, but it's a desert / A small, ordinary idol was my second name

-ㄴ/은/는/ㄹ 줄 알다

This structure expresses that you thought something was the case, but in reality, it is not. This line essentially means "I thought this place was a sea but it's a desert." Your original thought conflicts with reality.

[verb stem] + 았/었/였던

This is one way to turn verbs into their noun-modifying form in the past tense. This is pretty similar to just adding -ㄴ/은 to the stem. Use this structure when the action has been completed and you are no longer doing it. 바다인 줄 알았던 여기, to translate literally, means "this place that I thought was a sea." This implies that he no longer thinks that this place is a sea.

울고 싶지 않아 / 쉬고 싶지 않아 / 아니 조금만 쉬면 어때 / 아니 아니 아니 / 지고 싶지 않아 / 원래 사막이잖아 / 그럼 달려야지 뭐 / 더 우울해야지 뭐

I don't want to cry / I don't want to rest / Well how about resting for just a bit? / No no no / I don't want to lose / It's always been a desert / Then I'll run / Then I'll be more depressed

[verb stem] + 고 싶다

This structure means "to want to [verb]." 울고 싶다 means "to want to cry, for example. Attaching -지 않다 to the stem of 싶다 negates it; 울고 싶지 않다 means "to not want to cry."

-(으)면

This structure means "if." 조금만 쉬면 어때 literally means, "how is it if we rest for just a bit?" This essentially means "how about we rest for a bit?"

-잖아(요)

This sentence ending is used when the speaker presents information to the listener that they should already know. It kind of has the nuance of "you know..." 원래 사막이잖아 means "it's always been a desert" and implies that the listener would agree/already knows this fact.

-지 뭐

This is a colloquial way of saying "I guess" or "whatever" or "oh well" according to Go Billy Korean. It expresses that nothing can be done about the situation you're talking about. 그럼 달려야지 뭐 means "so I'll run" and 더 우울해야지 뭐 means "I'll be more depressed" according to the lyric video linked above. This is essentially saying that nothing can be down about this.

That's about it for this breakdown--I hope it was helpful! See you in the next lesson! 화이팅!

사막의 신기루 형태는 보이지만 잡히지는 않았고 We could see the shape of this desert's mirage but we couldn’t grasp it and

끝이 없던 이 사막에서 살아남길 빌어 We prayed that we would survive in this endless desert

현실이 아니기를 빌어 We pray that it wasn’t our reality

결국 신기루는 잡히고 현실이 됐고 (됐고) In the end, we grasped onto the mirage and it became reality (became reality)

두렵던 사막은 우리의 피 땀 눈물로 채워 바다�� 됐어 (됐어) Our blood, sweat, and tears filled up the desert we had feared and turned it into an ocean (into an ocean)

그런데 이 행복들 사이에 (사이에) But amidst all this happiness (this happiness)

이 두려움 들은 뭘까 (뭘까) What are all these fears? (What are they?)

원래 이곳은 사막이란걸 우린 너무 잘 알아 (알아) We know too well that this was once a desert (we know)

bts as my favorite jellyfish 🫧

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆.

+ cool jellyfish facts

(another list no one asked for. shark list can be found here)

☆ jin: moon jellyfish

probably don’t need an explanation for this one, simply for the fact jin in the moon and pretty like jellyfish

moon jellyfish can survive in both warm and cool waters!! they’re very social and travels in groups, also known as ‘smacks’ (that’s so silly). some members of the moon jellyfish species live without brains, ears, hearts, blood, eyes and pretty much anything we’re used to having as humans: they have 3 main elements to their existence, they’re 95% water, a mouth and a digestive system. they have their own version of a nervous system though, and without any lungs they breathe through their membrane

☆ taehyung: upside-down jellyfish

upside-down jellyfish are hella unique, taehyung is hella unique. basically a perfect match if you ask me

the different colors seem in upside-down jellyfish comes from their intake of algae. aquarists can tell captive jellyfish from wild upside-down jellyfish, the wild jellyfish have more of a muddy brown color where as the ones in the aquarium are usually a blue, black, white, green or purple!!! they’re rarely found alone, and flips upside-down alongside others of its kind. their little oral arms point up to the sun, looking like a little flower!!! :D

☆ yoongi: cannonball jellyfish

cannonball jellyfish are cute and yoongi is just a cutie kinda guy. i don’t make the rules

they’re carnivorous, eating fish eggs, red drum fish larvae and planktonic larvae of mollusks and snails. they use their little oral arms to move!! when the jellyfish is disturbed, they dive deeper into the water and release toxin-containing mucus! they can sense light gravity and touch. though communication between them isn’t understood really well, sometimes the jellyfish will form larger groups :D they can reproduce both sexually and asexually: they sexually reproduce in the medusa state (what we all commonly know as jellyfish) where they lay eggs that develop into planulae (basically swimming jellyfish larvae)

☆ jungkook: mushroom jellyfish

i kinda love the the little mushroom mullet jungkook used to have hence he is the mushroom jellyfish

their common name refers to their shape of them in the medusa stage: mushroom cap!!!!! they’re often confused with the canonball jellyfish as they both lack oral arms. the mushroom jellyfish is much flatter, softer and larger as it can grow up to 51cm. mushroom jellyfish survive off plankton parts which are pushed out of their umbrella by the water and caught between their sort of finger like appendages!! they don’t really pose as a stinging threat to humans because of their lack of tentacles. however their stinging cells reside within their little bell :D

☆ hobi: lion’s mane jellyfish

lion’s mane jellyfish look cool as hell, and hobi is probably one of the coolest people i can think of 🤨

lion’s mama jellyfish use their stinging tentacles to capture and eat fish, zooplankton, sea creatures and other smaller jellyfish. kingfish will hide within the stinging strands and feed on the leftover jellies until they’re big enough to venture out into the ocean. lion’s mane jellyfish can grow up to 120 feet. they don’t actually have a very long lifespan, only living for around a year :( they can have up to 1200 tentacles. they also have neurons, a ring of nerves within their hoods. without an actual brain and eyes they rely on these nerve cells to perceive and respond to threats. they poop out of where they eat, and eat out of where they poop :D

☆ namjoon: portuguese man-of war

okay so for this one, i watched a long ass video on jellyfish one time and the way they described the portuguese man of war was like kinda super cool and the big boy jellyfish. so to go hand in hand with my choice of shark for namjoon, this one felt fitting

kinda a cheat one because they’re not really jellyfish even if they look very alike. however are featured in jellyfish videos and lists alike so they count on this list too. they’re actually siphonophores, which is essentially a cluster of organisms called polyps that depend on each other for survival!! despite being a slightly scary creature they themselves have predators, (which are super smart). the violet sea slug uses a bubble raft to float close to the surface of the water. they have dark purple undersides which help them camouflage in the darker waters. sea slugs also eat the man-of-war, using a similar strategy, however!! they can also repurpose the stinging cells of their meal for their own self defense!!! the float on the portuguese man-of-war is partially filled with carbon monoxide. and was named after its resemblance to ships :D they also kinda just drift, riding the current with no means of propulsion

☆ jimin: flower hat jellyfish

flower hat jellyfish are pretty, and so is jimin. need i say more

(again they’re technically not jellyfish despite the name, they’re classified as hydrozoa). flower hat jellyfish usually live close to the sea floor with kelp and sea grass. they’re native to small areas of the western pacific ocean with smaller groups individually scattered elsewhere. they prefers moderate moderate depths and warmer temperatures :D they mainly feed on varieties of small fish, where most will occasionally consume small marine invertebrates which they’ll scoop from the ocean floor!! they’re actually quite powerful predators who don’t have many predators of their own however, they have been known to consume one another :(

okay that’s all thank you for reading !!!!
