As a literature girlie... it hurts so much to hear him say this :(
How do I tell him that the internet may entertain stupid lyrics if they're catchy, but our entire fandom was almost entirely built with their immaculate lyricism and storytelling.
I mean, whoever else in "Kpop" explains to their fans the meaning of the songs they put out?
This just means that BTS is a group of musicians. They can explain to you what their songs mean, what are the stories behind them, and how they should resonate. This is why I stan them.
Namjoon about Normal
🐨: Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal. The guys have even recorded the Korean version. Idk if it will ever be out tho. Anyways, kerosene is oil that lights the bulbs. One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday ppl tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. Ppl put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too.
"Two sides of a coin and they both ain't true"
Both sides aren't true. Why? Coz both sides are true and both sides are fake at the same time. There's no one who can explain this team called BTS.
"Wish I had a min just to turn me off"
Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the ppl. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for ppl to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too.
"Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose"
We're accepting that we've chosen this fame. When we sing this song on stage we sing it as a happy song coz we're singing it together, coz this is the other side of the coin.
I know we joke about “we’ve known each other since…” in the fandom. But it really is the sweetest thing.
I often think about the conversations Joon and Yoongi had way back when. All the hope, dreams, desires, fear, and uncertainty they felt only to beat all the odds and make it.
I interpret these unspoken conversations as a relief mix, with “can you believe it, man” leading into “we can really be free here with ARMY” to “they really fvckin stayed,” and a whole host of other things.
There will never be another BTS or ARMY. We are forged from fire. Their trials made us who we are today, and our lives are forever changed because of them.
I hope they've accepted all the highs and lows and know they were worth it. BTS hasn't yet reached the height of their fame. This is only the beginning!
