    For instance, PARADISE came up in my playlist and I believe that the lyrics to that song is necessary

    Quoting a few lines out of RM's verse


    "It’s okay to have different names to your dream

    To buy a laptop next month,

    or just to eat and sleep

    or to do nothing but have a lot of money

    [A] dream doesn’t need to be anything grand

    You can just become anyone

    We deserve a life

    Whether it’s big or small, you’re still just you"


    credits to doolset (translation)

    I'll say Outro : WINGS. Great song with Great lyrics. RM shows why he is the best MC in kpop. J-Hope and Suga with great verses. Vocal line do their job by making somewhat empty chorus sound full. Everyone did their job the best.

    I'll paste RM's verse here :

    (Like a bird)
    I went on the road that I was told not to go
    I did things I was told not to do
    I wanted things I couldn’t want
    I got hurt and hurt again
    You can call me stupid
    Then I’ll just smile
    I don’t wanna succeed
    By doing things I don’t wanna do
    I’m pushing myself
    Word


    J-Hope's and Suga's verses are great too. Rapline killed it.

    If you have not heard Spring Day then you are missing out!!!!

    Nevermind. The lyrics are touching. I specifically like the "Moss surely grows on a stone that doesn’t roll"


    Edit: I forgot this part " If you feel like you’re going to crash then accelerate more"

    Not Today - embodiment of the fighting spirit of BTS, such a rally cry. Even was used once (that I know of)

    8DEC434A-22F1-4B33-8007-698970A2EB82.png


    [Intro: RM]
    All the underdogs in the world
    A day may come when we lose
    But it is not today
    Today we fight

    [Verse 1: Suga]
    No, not today
    Flowers wither eventually
    But no, not today
    Today is not that day
    No no, not today
    Not yet a day to die
    Too good day
    No no, not today


    [Verse 2: RM]
    Yeah we are EXTRA
    But still part of this world
    Extra + Ordinary
    That’s nothing at all
    We won’t ever die today
    Light shines through the darkness
    It wants a new world and you
    Oh baby yes I want it


    [Verse 3: Jungkook, J-Hope, Jimin, V]
    If you can’t fly, then run
    Today we will survive
    If you can’t run, then walk
    Today we will survive
    If you can’t walk, then crawl
    Even if you have to crawl, gear up
    Aim your gun! Ready! Fire!

    [Pre-Chorus: Together, J-Hope, Jungkook:]
    Not not today! Not not today!
    Hey crow-tits everyone hands up
    Hey friends everyone hands up
    Hey if you believe me hands up
    Gun! Ready! Fire!


    The MV is perfection

    Another proof that BTS songs have much more context than what songs, lyrics, MVs show. Everyone knows Spring Day for being more than just a song, same goes for this one. Attention to details on this song are praiseworthy. Production is impeccable.


    Read Suga's powerful verse :

    In the middle of the vast ocean
    One whale speaks softly and lonelily
    The fact that no matter how much they shout, it won’t reach
    Makes them so gravely lonely that they quietly shut their mouths
    Of course I don’t care what‘s the matter or what I’ve now become
    When loneliness is the only thing that stays by my side
    I’ve become completely alone. It's a lock that fills sadness
    Someone says, “bastard, you’ve become a celebrity”
    Oh fuck that! So what?! Nobody remains by my side and I'm fine on my own
    These words that are easily said towards me quickly becomes a wall
    Even loneliness turns into something you can see

    I also really liked 134340 - for the broken-hearted.

    Answer Love Myself is such an uplifting song as well.

    You’ve shown me I have reasons

    I should love myself (oh)

    I’ll answer with my breath, my path

    The me of yesterday, the me of today, the me of tomorrow

    (I’m learning how to love myself)

    With no exceptions, it’s all me


    Loving myself might be harder

    Than loving someone else

    Let’s admit it

    same with ON lyrics

    I'd say ON

    esp Yoongi verse
    Even if I fall, I come right up, scream
    That's how we've always been
    Even if my knees drop to the ground
    As long as they don't get buried
    It won't matter
    Win no matter what
    Win no matter what
    Win no matter what
    Whatever you say, whatever they say
    I don't give a uhh
    I don't give a uhh
    I don't give a uhh, yeah

    And damn, those ddaeng lyrics really gave a hard slap to antis

    "I made success, uh

    All thanks to you, uh"


    Thanks to you, Billboard, bae

    Nobody's above us

    'Cause we're failing (Hahaha) Thanks


    "Thank you, thank you, thank you

    Thank you for ignoring us until now

    Thank you, stadium, dome, Billboard

    Thanks to you, we became successful"

    Translated by a bilingual Korean/English speaker (With explanations):

    https://muish.wordpress.com/20…ranslation-and-ramblings/


    _____________________________________________________________________


    Everyone has a lot of disease.

    What confuses me is that humans naturally have an ugly side to them.

    There are more than 400 mental health illnesses

    and there aren’t many who have none

    Yo, whether it’s the world or myself that is diseased,

    Whether it’s a difference in interpretation

    If that’s all it is

    I don’t know,

    Rather than to change someone,

    Faster than that is to change myself.


    (Sick & tired)

    But I don’t wanna mess up

    Cause life goes on

    (Through the fire)

    I’ll walk, more true to myself, woah

    (Walk it, walk it, walk it)

    When it becomes night, with my eyes closed

    (Walk it, walk it, walk it)

    I’ll again trust in myself that I’ve known before


    So get up, one more time

    It’s morning, have to live today

    Let’s go, one more night

    I don’t know what’s at the end, ayy

    There’s no eternal night

    I’ve gotten stronger

    The flames ablaze

    I will never fade away.

    I was gonna do this one and saw you already had so I chose another!

  • AllKill VIP

    I forgot about love myself the "Maybe I fell in order to take the place of those countless stars

    The target of thousands of bright arrows is me alone" really hits different.

    also somehow I just felt really relatable with 00.00 o'clock, and this song been my comfort song since I found Mots 7


    You know those days
    Those days where you're sad for no reason
    Those days where your body is heavy
    And it looks like everyone else except you is busy and fierce
    My feet won't set off, though it seems like I'm already too late
    I'm hateful of the whole world

    Young forever and Born singer: Their insecurities about losing their popularity and how they will continue to do music even if no one listens to them anymore.


    Sea: they talk their own hardships before success.


    Spine breaker: it's a parody but they diss the students who always feel entitled to own expensive stuff by wasting their parents money.


    No and no more dream: about Korean education system.


    Baepsae: about how boomers look down younger generation.


    Daeng and Ugh: these are for haters.


    2! 3!: It's a fan song. So you can imagine it's about positivity and looking forward to the future.


    Ma city: how proud they are of their hometowns. Especially jhope and RM killed it.


    Moving on: Saying goodbye to their old dorm. Just brilliant.


    Also there are many positive songs like zero O'clock, mikrocosmos, best of me, 21st century girls, paradise, love myself which can really uplift you.



    There are many more. But can't remember them now. These are the ones on top of my head.

    Edited once, last by Amsuej66 ().

    Zero o’clock is my comfort song too

    :pepelove1::pepelove1:


    Not you guys posting the songs I entered in the thread to recommend :pepeshock:

    This song is SO special to me, because they released in a moment of my life that I needed to hear these words and I felt so relieved.

    So I will go with 'Magic Shop', I love the lyrics so much. 'Tear' as a whole is so well written.


    Like a rose when blooming

    Like cherry blossoms when being scattered in the wind

    Like morning glory when fading

    Like that beautiful moment

    I always want to be the best

    So I was impatient and always restless

    Comparing myself with others became my daily life

    My greed that was my weapon suffocated me and also became a leash

    But looking back on it now, truthfully

    I feel like it’s not true that I wanted to be the best

    I wanted to become your comfort and move your heart

    I want to take away your sadness, and pain


    :pepecry:

    This lyric video was the exact video I watch when i listen to magic ahop and cried

    :pepe-sad::pepe-sad::pepe-sad:

    Why did I meet you?

    Here, now, in this winter day

    When I close my eyes, spring seems so far away

    And there's only cold breaths here

    I was born in crimson from the blood you shed this harsh winter

    Plum blossom, camellia, daffodil

    Yeah, call me whatever you want

    They say life is full of paradox

    All you gotta do is gettin' used to this marathon

    "Do you think the world is harsh on you only?

    Everyone has it hard"

    To the grown up you

    Those words can't be your consolation

    Listen carefully, winter

    You made me bloom

    Now I will send forth my blue aroma with my branches

    I'll show you that there's another sky

    I'll call forth the autumn that was once like you

    ღ Happy Birthday / 10.18.2005 ღ
