what are some BTS songs that everyone should listen to & read the lyrics whether or not they stan?

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.

I like Baepsae lyrics

https://lyrics.lol/artist/1240…epsae-english-translation

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

and the explanatory video

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)

[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

Whalien 52 :

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

Not today is a song that really gave me hope back then,
same with ON lyrics

Quote from ppiper

Not today is a song that really gave me hope back then,
same with ON lyrics

ON's such a banger 💜

I'd say ON

Quote from Flowercrew

ON's such a banger 💜

i will be forever thanks to ON, that song really help me, also that song that made me an Army

Quote from ppiper

i will be forever thanks to ON, that song really help me, also that song that made me an Army

To think that it's a flop (acc to Kpoppies). And I think many ARMYs didn't like ON, right?

Tomorrow

Dis-ease. Overworking yourself can be really damaging.

Quote from Flowercrew

To think that it's a flop (acc to Kpoppies). And I think many ARMYs didn't like ON, right?

I never really know about kpoppies opinion back then, but I join akp 2 months after On released (after I stan BTS) and Akp was a mess, lots of BTS was peaked thread, and I replied to many thread to defend ON.

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

https://genius.com/Genius-engl…nglish-translation-lyrics

"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"

I can relate

black swan is so intricate. it just hits me different.

other musicians have fear of losing fans and fame. but, bts expressed their fear of death by losing passion for music.

Do collabs count? 🥺

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.

I'll forever be salty about how the fandom and other kpop fans treated ON, it's my favorite title track.

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

Sea

Quote from Sparkling_eyes

I'll forever be salty about how the fandom and other kpop fans treated ON, it's my favorite title track.

I know right.. ON lyrics really hit me, Thats the first time I am amazed with boyband, I really have that tereotype for kpop idol who used to sing about loving girl heartbreak etc,

But ON is very different.

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.

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"

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

Quote from Minazuki

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.

Same... same....

And my other comfort song is Magic Shop

I really had a bad time last year, good thing is I also fell to BTS rabbit hole last year.

And I cried when I first time listen to Magic Shop.

BTS is the only korean act that make me cry listening to songs. So I feel you

Quote from fortuna

they do

Then I vote Winter Flower by Younha ft. RM

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
