Who doesn’t know BTS? This 7-member South Korean boy group under HYBE Labels is a worldwide superstar with fans worldwide. No wonder, not only do they have stunning visuals, but their singing and dancing abilities are also unquestionable.
Each song they create has its color and message that they want to convey to their fans in the hope that they can feel the same sincerity, care, and emotion related to their lives as young people. Here are 7 Rap Quotes in BTS songs for those of you who are currently going through hard times. Trust me, it’s just part of what makes you mature. Hwaiting !!!!
1. Fly to My Room
Suga: This room is too small, right? To contain my dreams. I land on top of the bed. This is where it’s safest. Whether it’s sadness, happiness, or any other feeling, this place accepts it all. Even though sometimes this room becomes trash of feelings, it embraces me.
J-Hope: They greet me again. The toys in my room, are like people. It’s as crowded as if it were out of the city. The TV sounds. I just have to change my thoughts. This is a journey that only I can enjoy. Food delivery. Fill it up with optimism, I’m full.
This song released in 2020 describes our current situation. The recommendation to stay at home makes us have no choice but to cancel our intention to do normal activities outside the home as usual. Stay at home and lockdown are the words we hear most often.
The room is our most comfortable place. It is a silent witness to how we then go through the day and can get through this pandemic with feelings of confusion. All emotions are poured out in this small room. In this song, BTS wants to remind us that, we can get through this difficult journey. We just need to look away and start enjoying the situation as it is. Not all bad events have to be lived through sadness and end in regret, right?
2. Love Myself
Suga: If you look at it in a certain way, it’s harder loving yourself than loving someone else. Honestly, let’s admit what we have to admit. The standards you put out are harsher on yourself. Inside the center of your life is a thick growth ring, it’s a part of your life, and also what you are. Let’s forgive ourselves now. Our lives are long, I believe in myself inside this maze. Because when winter passes spring comes again.
RM: Maybe there’s no answer. Maybe this isn’t the answer either. It’s just that, loving myself doesn’t require someone else’s permission. Even now, I’m still looking for myself, but I don’t want to die anymore. Me, who used to be sad. Me, who used to be hurt. It’s even more beautiful.
This song has a deep meaning for both BTS and ARMY. BTS often says that ARMY makes them understand and comprehend the meaning of how to love yourself.
Likewise, ARMY learns a lot about how to love themselves through BTS and the songs they create. The song itself is about how someone should realize that loving themselves is necessary. Without the need for recognition from others, every self is equally valuable. Every weakness, wound, and mistake you have made, whether in the past, present, or future, is what will shape you.
It is not an easy path and of course, it takes time to be able to understand and love yourself completely. But that is no reason not to do it. Because just like everyone else, each of us is still learning to love ourselves.
3. Paradise
RM: We dream from others (like a debt). We learn we must become great (like a light). Your dream is baggage. If only the future is a dream, what was the dream I had last night in bed? It’s alright if your dreams are different. Buy a laptop next month or just eat and sleep. Having a lot of money by not doing anything. What’s so great about dreams? Just be who you want. We deserve a life. Whether it’s big or small, you’re just doing you.
Suga: I don’t have a dream. Sometimes, dreams are scary. Just living like this, and surviving is a small dream for me. Dreaming, hold onto that dream. Breathing, sometimes these things are hard. That guy did that, that girl did that. The world tells me as it bashes me.
J-Hope: The world has no right to bash you. What’s the law for dreams? No one ever taught us. Because its a made-up dream, a tearful sleep talk. Wake up from your nightmare. Just smile for yourself, in that paradise.
This song seems very relatable to those of you who are currently still confused about what you really want to do or what your dreams are. Sometimes, we feel jealous of other people who can confidently say that I want to be like this or This is my dream. While you have no idea about it at all. Through this song, BTS wants to say that it’s okay not to have big dreams like other people. Having simple desires is okay. If there are small things that can make you happy, that’s enough. It’s okay if you haven’t found and had that dream yet.
There will be no one to blame. As RM said in the song What’s so great about dream? Just be who you want. Be who you want to be and do what you want to do. That’s what matters the most.
4. Light
J-Hope: Just happy, confront loneliness, and color the present. Lose and gain something, today we seek something again.
Suga: Sleepless nights, I thought they were myths but they weren’t and again we got stronger. What is love? If there’s an answer there, I want to know now.
The quarter-life crisis seems to be a little depicted in this song. The time in our 20s when we feel excessive loneliness, which is sometimes caused by us thinking and worrying too much about things in our lives. Nights that should be used for rest instead turn into a time for the heart and mind to clash, debating endless things.
However, we know that a new day will come along with new opportunities that will surely come. As in this song Decide for yourself, what it means to be happy, there will always be a chance to grow into the person you want to be.
5. Magic Shop
Suga: I always want to be the best. So I was always impatient and anxious. Comparing myself becomes a daily thing. My greed which used to be a weapon, became a prison and noose. But looking back, to be honest. I don’t want to be the best. I wanted to be someone’s comfort. I wanted to touch someone’s heart. I want to take away your sadness, and your pain.
The habit of comparing yourself to others seems to have no cure. We are required to always be able to give and be the best. Maybe that’s why we always feel like we’re being chased by time and are always anxious. What used to be our strength has instead turned into something that hinders and makes it difficult for us to move forward.
Through this song, BTS wants to say that being the best is not the most important thing. Being someone whose presence brings peace and simple happiness to others is already extraordinary. Even if it’s not for others, you can be a source of happiness for yourself
6. So What
Suga: Nothing goes the way I plan. There’s nowhere to hide. The dice have already been thrown a long time ago. If you hesitate, you might get swept away. All your worries are just part of the swamp of your imagination that you created. Instead of worrying, go. Don’t be timid, cheer up. Shout out, so what?
This song is about why we don’t need to care too much and think about what other people think about us. Things can always go wrong and it’s okay. Each of us lives a different life. Do what you want to do without worrying about how other people will respond to you later.
All the worries and anxieties that have been holding you back are just imaginations that you create and plant in your head. Basically, everyone makes their assumptions about what others might think of them. So, stop worrying and just give it a go.
Those are some BTS songs that are suitable to accompany you to fight again. So, which one will be your favorite song?
