bts appreciation rant
so like.
i spend a lot of time reading through bts lyrics, analyzing songs, and reading song analysis articles.
i just wanted to rant about how it’s amazing that legit all their songs have a deep meaning behind it?
ok i want to focus on the WINGS album.
i read through all the solo lyrics and i’ll quickly go over the meaning of each of the solos in like one or two sentences.
[Reflection] Rapmon: well a self reflection of his identity. who he is and how he’s felt like he lost it. (i feel like this is a recurring theme for him? makes sense. it’s not a short term topic.) [First Love] Yoongi: his first love for a piano. his bud- the gateway of music that was there for him even when abandoned, even thru his struggles, etc. [Awake] Jin: about being not as good as the other members in bangtan? [MAMA] Hobi: a message to his mom- #1 hobi supporter- (it’s so beautiful omg. the line where he’s just like ‘you can smile now’ had me bawling) [Lie] Chimchim: his past insecurities and low self esteem (same tho ;;) putting him thru living with this image he thought of himself that was a lie. [Stigma] V: uhh i’ve read 2 ways this cud go like a duality? 1- I Need U continuum 2- a message to his family. his apologies for not being there for his sibliings as they grow up and how they’ll grow up looking up to a brother they don’t really even know? he feels bad he cant protect them. (tae’s all about family so much that it hurts my heart) [Begin] Jungkook: for his bangtan hyungs about how they’ve always looked after him n he wants to give back? basically something like that.
well ok just from that alone we all know that ALL of the songs hit the members on a personal level.
so what im thinking rn that’s got me writing this appreciation rant is that
they are on the wings tour rn. they’re performing this on stage in front of millions of people.
these songs that are so personal to them. songs that expose a personal part of themselves to so many people. it’s so personal that it makes their stage mean so much more.
these stages should be valued more. it’s like them giving us a piece of how they feel, things on their mind, things they’re ready to share a personal story of their past with the world. the struggles, the relatable circumstances. it’s so human and realistic.
and like. ‘connected’ (lmao rapmon says that a lot) but legit you get to know the artists better this way. it’s sort of like a bonding experience.
it’s not just simple love stories. not just a direct meaning. this is why i’d be so happy and even proud to talk about the meaning of these songs if someone were to ask me what the song is about.
my mother asks me often if i know the meaning of the song that’s playing. i usually say no- that it’s probably just about love. some love song. i cud have read the lyrics before but the meaning never stuck to me or i never really understood it (lol)
but.. like with bts lmao i know the reason for so many of their songs and so far for the WINGS album like none of them are about just love.
Lost is about the path to your future/dreams 2!3! is the bridge from BTS to ARMYs Am I Wrong is about worldly issues 21st century girl is about the empowerment of women LIKE YOO. who does that? bts does. like shit. its amazing. and like MOST BTS title songs, BST is not just a sexual song lmao it’s about how hard they work. again. like dope. bts sells themselves so much to music. their sleep their health their time and their freedom i just cant rn LOL (ok but im not too well versed on bst meaning tbh. that’s what i got from it tho the last time i looked at it intently.)
ok that’s it for the wings album rant.
extra appreciation!
YO WHY ARE CYPHERS SO GOOD.
bts gets so much hate and i just love it when the rapper line just throws them down like savages even classier when it’s to a mannerful degree! (suga in cypher pt 4 omg) also realize suga’s like usually.. typically last in cyphers where he just burns them to a crisp and earns himself worthy enough to do a mic drop and maniac laugh.
i also love that they cuss a lot and all that other shit but they’re not like super stepped on for it. yknow? they’ve been blurring the line between hiphop and kpop since debut and they’re doing it in the best way possible. i remember telling friends i listened to hiphop and rap too years years back but only be saddened when i got judged when they found out it was kpop hiphop or kpop rap. but bts sort of just gives no two shits to ppl who make fun of them for being underground rappers and kpop idols. it’s amazing. i have no reason to feel ashamed anymore. the fact that they don’t care gives me all reason to not care either. also how cool is it that suga produces a lot of their songs? i wonder how he feels when they actually perform it on stage. it must be like the best feeling in the world- to perform a song from scratch.
ok i’m getting tired i’ll stop here. im probably biased like 90% of this post.
[MORE RANDOM]: btw. im under the transformation of exol to army. you can tell bc if u look at my shit, slowly all my wallpapers are switching from exo to bts... lmao first my phone home screen then lockscreen, then computer homescreen, and im p sure within the next week my comp lockscreen n profile pic.
