NOT ONE PERSON LEAVING THE GROUP 😭🔥
🐨 To be honest, we ended up making this album without having a fixed direction beforehand. Because of that, when the album came out, I completely expected opinions to be divided… starting with the title track itself. Whether people feel it’s lacking, whether the reactions are mixed, or whether some people simply don��t like it.
The important thing is that we came back together here, released a studio album like we promised, and are once again doing performances and going on tour. And the fact that not one person leaving the group, no one got hurt, and no one had to take a break — that we’re able to continue everything safely together — means so much 😭💜
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.
namjoon baby i promise you there are still people who care about lyrics. there are still many armys who spend hours and days analyzing your words, chasing the references, mulling over a single syllable. i promise you so, so many of us love bts' music because of your stories.
