    Let’s burn
    (No)
    It’s done
    (Arson)


    [Verse 1]
    Let’s burn
    To my passion, burn
    To my hopes, burn
    My life, burn
    Every day I ran
    Couldn’t stop
    Back then
    I burned it all
    And I wanted it all
    Fame came first
    Money? Of course
    Popularity too
    Couldn’t help but go into overdrive
    The motivation behind my thoughtless ambition
    When I sweat


    [Verse 2]
    I shower in petrol
    To set a fire
    On my feet, on my legs
    Even hotter, run my way
    Records heating up
    My popularity at the top
    And up goes my born haters
    Horns that ring every time
    But even this, I like
    ‘Cause with my fans
    With my label
    With my fellaz
    We burn bright together
    All day
    Rational accomplices
    Arsonist was fun
    Got nothing to fear
    One second ahead, fuck off


    [Chorus]
    If anyone asks me
    “Right, I lit the flame”
    Now I ask myself, choose what
    Do I put out the fire, or burn even brighter
    (Arson)


    [Verse 3]
    It’s done
    My dreams, done
    Success, done
    My part of the job, done
    What else, none
    Less is more
    Leaving when there’s still
    Applause, that’s the style
    Setting the fire
    Is something I did for myself
    Who knew the world
    Would go up in flames
    I see my marks after things cooled down
    Fire too big to put out, it was serious arson
    Oh shit


    [Verse 4]
    It’s too hot, no
    I wake up from the pain
    Contact my inner self
    Enveloped in fear
    Nobody can’t, nobody stop, shit
    Putting out the fire
    Only I can do that
    A fireman of chaos
    Oh, a dark path like soot awaits even when the fire is out
    Tell myself
    The huge hurdle ahead, what’s my move
    To sidestep the game board that casts my stone


    [Chorus]
    If anyone asks me
    “Right, I lit the flame”
    Now I ask myself, choose what
    Do I put out the fire, or burn even brighter
    It’s done
    If anyone asks me
    “Right, I lit the flame”
    Now I ask myself, choose what
    Do I put out the fire, or burn even brighter


    [Outro]

    1. I feel like like he's the Seo Taeji of this generation?...Oh.... I didn't know J-hope was promoting???? Is there a dance?? I can't imagine a dance in this song


    2. I was looking forward to it after seeing the teaser and it's way better than I imagined? Wow f*ck I seriously want to swear at how good it is daebakㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wow seriously there's not 1 second I get bored of itㄷㄷㄷ Bang-fans is he going to promote this on music shows by any chance? I feel like I need to watch this in music showsㅠㅠ


    3. Oh... It's so good, it's even better than the teaser. The lyrics are so good too!!!!


    4. The song is cool but why do the lyrics make me want to cry?


    5. The MV is a shame compared to the song, I feel like he could've shot a more extravagant MV and it would've suited the song betterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyways, the song is f*cking good


    6. I can feel the heaviness in the lyrics


    7. J-hopeㅠㅠㅠㅠ My prideㅠㅠㅠㅠ So cool


    8. It's so hot out there, it suits it


    9. Wow seriously J-Hope is freaking cool... The song is something in itself but the fact that he doesn't do much in his MV and just walks is seriously freaking cool. Wow it's crazy. I feel like a dance would match this song wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow it's insane he's freaking cool


    10. Jung Hoseokㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ from the first track of the album, I've been listening nonstop. The organic feeling is crazy seriouslyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


    11. I watched the MV first and I listened to the song digitally after. I feel like his condensed emotions are exploding. Seriously I feel like he went all out


    12. You're so cool hope-ahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


    13. The lyrics are so good... He's really going for a dark concept. He's not even doing big movements, but I feel like he's still using his body well. It's impressive


    14. Ah I love the dark Hopeㅠ


    15. What's up with the beatㅠ IT's too goodㅠㅠㅠ I like the sunshine Hobie but this J-Hope is also niceㅠㅠㅠㅠ



  • Wow! So much praise! I really hope it'll do at least slightly good kcharts too ;(


    4. The song is cool but why do the lyrics make me want to cry?

    Tbh. But it's how Hoseok's art is, even Hope World was not so bright lyrically as it might seem to be due to colorful art and upbeat cool melodies.


    5. The MV is a shame compared to the song, I feel like he could've shot a more extravagant MV and it would've suited the song betterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyways, the song is f*cking good

    Interesting opinion. Tbh I haven't feel anything like that about MV, I think it's perfect, it visualized that dark lil insane crazyness Hoseok has inside, like you just need nothing else here except for him and his aura. Maybe he could indeed to shot smth with BOOM-BAM-BARABAM, but Hoseok really wants main focus to be solely on music and message he puts in it: on vlive he said smth about clothes being simple so focus will be on music only and in interviews he was asked about dance (in MVs and lollapalooza) and he answered that previous releases were to showcase dance skills and background while Jack In The Box is here to showcase him as musician.
