Hi, it’s Aberly!

Today I’m going to share with you some of BTS’ good songs.

They might not that catchy when you first listen to it, but after reading the lyrics and my introduction.  I’m pretty sure you will start to appreciate these songs.

BTS’ songs are always speak up for teenagers nowadays, and they use “No More Dream,” their debut song, as a wonderful spirit of them.  They ask teens what their dream are, who they want to be, and then arouse their courage to “Transform yourself and be the one you really want to be.”  

Here’s the lyrics of the song.  My suggestion is to watch the MV first and then watch it again with the lyrics at the same time.
  

Hey you, what’s your dream?*3
Is that all your dream is?

I wanna big house, big cars & big rings
But actually, I don’t have any big dreams
Haha, I live quite comfortably
Even if I don’t dream, no one says anything
Everyone is thinking the same way as me
I completely forgot about my childhood when I had a lot of dreams
Don’t worry about college, I’ll at least go to a school that’s far away
Ok mom, I’m going to the library right now

What is the you that you’ve dreamed of?
Who do you see in the mirror? I gotta say
Go on your path, even if you live for a day
Do something, put away your weakness

Why aren’t you saying anything?
You don’t wanna study but you’re scared to quit school?
See, you’re already getting ready for school
Please grow up, you’re all talk dude, you have a glass mentality boy
(Stop) Ask yourself if you’ve ever worked hard for anything

Hey you, what’s your dream?*3
Is that all your dream is?

>>(chorus) That’s a lie, you such a liar
See me, see me, ya you’re a hypocrite
Why are you telling to go a different path? Take care of yourself
Please don’t force me
(Lalalalala) What’s your dream, what’s your dream?
(Lalalalala) Is that it? Is that it?<<

Sick of the same day, the repeating days
Grown-ups and my parents keep instilling confined dreams to me
Number one future career is a government worker?
It’s not a forced dream, a ninth inning relief pitcher
Throw a fast ball at the waste of time that is night study sessions
Rebel against the hellish society, dreams are a special pardon
Ask yourself about your dream profile
Become the main subject of your life that has always been suppressed

What is the you that you’ve dreamed of?
Who do you see in the mirror? I gotta say
Go on your path, even if you live for a day
Do something, put away your weakness

Hey you, what’s your dream?*3
Is that all your dream is?

>>(chorus)<<

Don’t know how to live
Don’t know how to fly
Don’t know how to decide
Don’t know how to dream now

Open your eyes now
Dance a dance now
Dream a dream now
Stop hesitating, stop being indecisive, wussup

>>(chorus)<<

To all the youth without dreams (Haha)

The style of this MV is hiphop, which fits in BTS’ debut style, and they have shown their iconic synchronous dance since this video.  

Another highlight of the song is the acrobatic they do in the middle of the MV.  They still do this acrobatic when performance in live, and that needs huge and deep trust of each other that can make the performance perfect.  

Member Jimin once said he felt so sorry for his members because when practicing this song’s choreography at first he couldn’t control the strength of the kicks so there are serious bruises on members back.  However, they do it very well now, which needs countless practices and efforts.  

So let’s listen to another song telling about their efforts and fatigues.

The song is called “Move” or “Moving On,” recorded in the album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.1, tells the story of each member’s true feeling from a trainee to a debuted idol.  Here’s the lyrics.

ayo SUGA
do you remember 3 years ago when we first came here?
the time that hyung(meaning older brother in Korea) and I
were at each other’s throats somehow
that house with its blue walls and
bathroom and veranda
at that time I thought that this place
was such a huge house
but my ambitions have gotten bigger
and that new house that seemed so big
has now become too narrow
9 trainees in 17 pyeong(1 pyeong is about 35.5 ft squared), that trickling season
seems like just a couple of days ago
but we’ve grown up a lot too
good things always
belonged to everyone and
we always talked about
our worries for the opaque future
while watching our sunbae(idols who debuted before them) singers
at the year-end award shows, we choked
the memories of those things
we said not to forget and just stash away
let’s not forget our smell,
the smell of this place
wherever we are
we laughed and cried a lot
it was all very beautiful
thank you to the 3rd floor in Nonhyeon-dong(where they live before)
>>(chorus) let’s move
goodbye to this place we’ve become fond of
let’s move
to a higher place
in the empty room
after picking up the last box and leaving out
turning around for a moment
the times that we cried and laughed
goodbye now<<
3 years is both a very long and very short time
we had a lot of problems
and many memories
often came up
because it’s time to go
the traces of use, like
bank book receipts, credit card
as small a space as it was,
we had a lot of times we came together
Fight right here
we hit and were hit many times
maybe because of that, beautiful feelings and hateful feelings
stacked up and up
the dust will forever be piled up here
our burdens have increased since the beginning
and since the beginning, the things that I carry
for myself have also increased
now I have more self-esteem
and I’m looking ahead to a bigger world and bigger dreams
a new beginning, a new start
how will these things be laid out
the time I anticipated
carry the burden, hold the place, clean the dust
and one jjajangmyeon (pork noodle) for having
done a good job, that’s right
>>(chorus)<<

from the first time I left my mom’s stomach
the first time moving to a new place
indistinct memories, the price of my move was
an extensive scar on the machinery
of my mother’s heart
in winter of 2010, from Daegu
immature me
I measured the size of the world
to that commercial house
the price of my traveling was
earning curses, being called a money chaser
fingers pointed towards me
like this, moving is to me
many things left over
that, in the life I loved or hated
had changed into many things
I also know that my life hangs on my earnings
my self-respect is all on deposit
I live day by day uh
so I’m trying to move again
to one step up from idol
I’m trying to hold on to my dreams
this move’s handless day will last now long?
I hope it’ll be a quick time
>>(chorus)<< *2

Years of waiting to debut, countless bruises on everywhere of body, immeasurable efforts, and hurting comments.  Against all odds, they didn’t give up, instead, they stuck on their dream.  In the end seven trainees finally became BTS, a united idol group owing to have perseverance and keeping faith in hearts.

Then they release the song, tell their story to fans as well as a reminder of themselves.  In the song you can tell how deep their friendship are, which makes me think up another song.

Young Forever MV - Jungkook, V, SUGA, Jin, Jimin, Rap Monster, J-hope

“Young Forever” is the epilogue of their special album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.3, so the length is a little bit short.  However, the lyrics tells us the feeling after becoming famous and drawn everyone’s eyes.  Also, the song is produced by Rap Monster.  Here’s the lyrics.

The curtain falls and I’m out of breath
I get mixed feelings as I breathe out
Did I make any mistakes today
How did the audience seem
I’m happy with who I’ve become
That I can make someone scream with joy
Still excited from the performance
I stand on the middle of the empty stage, still hot

I stand on the middle of the hot, empty stage
And suddenly I feel so afraid of the void
These mixed feelings with my life on the line
I pretend to be careless
This isn’t the first time, I better get used to it
I try to hide it, but I can’t
When the heat of the show cools down
I leave the empty seats behind

Trying to comfort myself
I tell myself the world can’t be perfect
I start to let myself go
The thundering applause, I can’t own it forever
I tell myself, so shameless
Raise your voice higher
Even if the attention isn’t forever,
I’ll keep singing
I want to stay this way for life
I want to stay young forever Aah

>>(chorus) Forever we are young
Under the flower petals raining down
I run, so lost in this maze
Forever we are young
Even when I fall and hurt myself
I keep running toward my dream

Forever ever ever ever
(dreams, hopes, forward, forward)
Forever ever ever ever We are young

Forever ever ever ever
(dreams, hopes, forward, forward)
Forever ever ever ever We are young

Forever we are young
Under the flower petals raining down
I run, so lost in this maze
Forever we are young
Even when I fall and hurt myself
I keep running toward my dream

Forever we are young
Under the flower petals raining down
I run, so lost in this maze
Forever we are young
Even when I fall and hurt myself
I keep running toward my dream<<

It is The Most Beautiful Moment in Life trilogy that made BTS seen by the world.  Members admitted before that sometimes they do feel scared or lost in their fame.  However the bond between seven members has been always supported them and encouraged them to face the world with super energy again.  Therefore, they want to be young forever so that they will always be BTS forever and ever.

The three songs are all have deep meaning and different things that BTS want to convey not only to fans but also to the world.  

One of the most precious point of BTS’ songs is that they produce songs which have stories or messages want to tell aside from ordinary love songs, which is one of the reason I love them as well.  

If you want to listen to more songs of them, I can write part 2 someday in the future; maybe focus on one specific theme.But it is the end of today’s post, if you have some suggestion or feedback, you can comment below, I will be glad to interact with you.  

See you next post!!
