Favorite BTS Lyrics, Pt 2

Hello! If you’re reading this, hey. I don’t think anyone particularly reads these but I have fun doing them sooooooooooooooo. Part two. Here is a link to my part 1 if you’d like. This post is mostly gonna be MOTS7 but my last post had earlier songs. Here goes! As always, message me if you wanna chat and all translations/credit is linked.

“Do you know now? That doing your best every time is the best (option).”

^^ Interlude: Shadow. I have to be careful with this song lately because if I pay too much attention while listening to it/reading the lyrics I will legit cry LOL. But, I love this line because it addresses the pressure of feeling that doing your best is your only option ever, all the time.

“When the second hand and the minute hand overlap, the world for a very brief moment holds its breath.”

^^ 00:00. This was one of the first songs on this album that grabbed me and it was because of this line specifically. Time is scary, and I love the concept of everything just stopping for a brief moment.

“Someday, when the cheers die down, stay, you are my soulmate”

^^ Friends. Aaaaaand, the next line that grabbed me. The first part because, damn, I don’t want to think about the day cheers die down. But also, yes, please be friends forever. The second part because this song makes me think of my best friend and that line always makes me sentimental about her.

“It’ll be okay, for the me of today is doing okay.”

^^ Inner Child. I think we’d all like to be able to go back and tell our old selves it will be alright and you will be fine.

“I make a promise to you and me, whatever waves crash over us, we’ll forever sing towards you.” 

^^ Louder than Bombs. I think I’m just starting to realize that I am just a sucker for any lyric that is about them and ARMY. Something about it is just very grounding, especially considering that they’re the biggest group on the planet.  

“Suddenly I wonder whether you really know yourself, whether you really know how pretty your existence is”

and

“Rather than using any other words, or words of thanks, I’ll make sure to be by your side in the dark, dark night so that it’s much brighter, I’ll watch over you”

^^ Moon. Another fan song. I always love these.

“Fleetingly, the life of Jung Hoseok rather than j-hope passes in my mind. It would have been full of regret rather than hope till I die.”

^^ Outro: Ego. I’m not sure this line needs much explanation, but just makes you think of how much different things could be if he wasn’t in BTS. Except, from his POV. I love this moment of self-reflection and (as I will say for pretty much every song on this album) I love this song a LOT.

“Who am I?” The question I’ve been asking my entire life –

the question that I’ll probably never be able to find the answer for”

^^ Intro: Persona. I want to be impressed that they opened the album with this line, but really, it’s Namjoon so I’m not surprised. Either way, its fitting and it sets the tone for this whole album. It’s applicable to anyone, famous or not.

“ Re-spect – as the word itself says, it’s to look and look again*  

If one keeps looking at another, their flaws can be seen

But that one wants to keep looking, despite all that,

means that it’s necessary to have complete faith in that someone

And so, I can’t speak of it easily –

it’s immeasurable, the weight and depth of it

I hope that, someday, I’d be able say it confidently,

wholeheartedly – to me, and to you”

^^ Respect. Not to, like, pull a whole freakin verse. But, shit. I absolutely love Joonie and Yoongi together so this song excites me. I especially like the part with flaws/complete faith, and I’m not quite sure how to explain it properly. I would definitely take a look at this translation I linked, because they provide certain explanations at the end that add to the lyrics. (Also, does everything these two touch just have to be lyric gold?)

“Here, everyone becomes a person with moral reasoning and perfect judgement.

What a laugh.”

^^ UGH!. Everyone thinks they’re right and they know best. I just love this line because we’re all guilty of it and most of us don’t even realize it. (P.S. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TRANSLATION OF UGH! ENOUGH!!(!) Please read it thanks.)

And also from UGH!,

“Someone’s split second becomes someone’s moment, someone’s fury becomes someone’s life.”

^^ UGH!. “This line means that the thing one does impulsively in a very brief moment can become a significant something that another will have to remember for a long time.” - ktaebwi on Twitter.

I have read multiple different translations of UGH! and I can’t find an exact wording that I feel justifiably represents the sentiment behind this lyric. This translation felt the closest. Everyone seems to universally agree what the line means, but I’m finding that no wording is doing the translation enough justice, and I think that just might come down to the power of language.

I have endless love for this song. In my opinion, it is art and it is a masterpiece. UGH! has such a deep meaning to it and I think the sound of the song hits the nail on the head. It’s partially the sound, partially all the different messages/meanings in the different verses, and definitely the fact that this song makes you want to punch someone in the face. This song isn’t just about anger but is an angry song. 

Part of me also feels the only way to truly appreciate this song is in Korean. I don’t feel like translating the lyrics to English does it as much justice. (But also, I don’t speak Korean so.... who knows.)

These have been way longer than they were supposed to be. Oops. But if you’ve made it here thanks for reading :)
