That was the last sentence for the last music video of HYYH, SAVE ME. so, apparently -more like a mere thinking about the chronology of the trilogy for the most beautiful moments in life.
first, let’s get through for the meaning of the most beautiful moments in life where it could be the years where we’re been growing up. the happiness, the warmth of love, the pain, the sadness, the gloomy days we had and everything that we experience din our lives when we -oh well- still live in this earth.
we could have many experiences on how our parents were happy with us, they angry with us, we met our friends, we lost our friends, we had our first love and we lost them. just like how the life supposed to be.
everyone will experience the same, eventually.
that’s how beautiful our life is when we’re reminiscing back on our death bed.
(actually, this what i’m thinking only - solely on the lyrics, so it might get boring from the start and yeah, feel free to ignore this. this is for my self-satisfied)
it started with bts - butterfly.
“Don’t think about anything
Don’t even speak
Please just smile for meI still can’t believe it
Everything feels like a dream
Don’t try to disappearIs it true? Is it true?
You You
So beautiful, so terrifying
Untrue Untrue
You You YouBe by my side
Will you promise me
If I touch you I’m afraid you’d fly away or break
I’m afraid afraid afraidI wanna stop time
When this moment is done
Would it be like a fantasy
Would I forget you
I’m afraid afraid afraidButterfly, like a Butterfly
Almost Butterfly, bu butterfly like
Butterfly, like a butterfly
Almost Butterfly, bu butterfly likeYou’re like a Butterfly
I stare at you from afar
If I touch, will I lose you?
This mud like
Night, you light it up
A little gesture
And I suddenly forget about realityYou’re like stroking wind
You’re like a softly lying dust
You’re there but I can’t reach you
Stop
You’re like a dream to me, butterfly, highUntrue Untrue
You You YouBe by my side
Will you promise me
If I touch you I’m afraid you’d fly away or break
I’m afraid afraid afraidI wanna stop time
When this moment is done
Would it be like a fantasy
Would I forget you
I’m afraid afraid afraidMy heart lets out a desperate sound
I can’t tell if it’s fantasy or reality
My paradise
Please don’t go deep into the woods
My heart pours affection on you
My feelings melt and leak
(I just wanna dissolve)
My love is eternal
It’s all FREE for you
babyBe by my side
Will you promise me
If I touch you I’m afraid you’d fly away or break
I’m afraid afraid afraidI wanna stop time
When this moment is done
Would it be like a fantasy
Would I forget you
I’m afraid afraid afraidButterfly, like a butterfly
Almost Butterfly, bu butterfly like
Butterfly, like a butterfly
Almost Butterfly, bu butterfly”
well, when we read about the lyric, it might tell us about the disappearing love and how that someone couldn’t accept the truth. it could be how the boys couldn’t adapt of the loss of their friends thus making them having tough times. they were afraid of the world out there. that’s the prologue for all of us to see how it happened.
and the real story started on bts - i need u.
“Fall Everything
Fall Everything
Fall Everything
it passes by
Fall Everything
Fall Everything
Fall Everything
it’s trembling I’m this messed up because of you
can you stop, I don’t have you anymore
I can’t do this, it seems like something
please don’t make things like excuses
you can’t be like this to me
I can’t accept any of these words
distinguish the truth and tear me apart
spear me through, I’m going crazy, I hate everything
take everything, I just hate youBut you’re my everything
You’re my
Everything You’re my
Everything You’re my
please just leave me huh
I’m sorry I hate u
I love you I hate u
I forgive you I need you
why do I love you alone and say farewell alone
I need you
why do I need you even though I know it hurts
I need you
you’re beautiful
I need you
too cold
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
It goes round and round
why do I keep coming around
I go down and down
at times like these I’m the idiot
no matter what I try to do
you say it can’t be helped
it’s clearly my heart, my mind, my chest but
you ask why I can’t hear your words
I’m talking by myself again, I’m talking by myself
I’m talking by myself again, I’m talking by myself
you say nothing
ah please, I’ll do well
the sky is blue again
the sky is blue again
the sky is blue, the sun is shining, so
it seems like my tears will show even better
why is it you for me, why does it have to be you
why can’t I leave you I need you
why do I love you alone and say farewell alone
I need you
why do I need you even though I know it hurts
I need you
you’re beautiful
I need you
too cold
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I would rather you say we break up
please say it wasn’t love
I don’t have that kind of strength
please give one last gift to me
so I won’t ever return to you I need you
why do I love you alone and say farewell alone
I need you
why do I need you even though I know it hurts
I need you
you’re beautiful
I need you
too cold
I need you
I need you
I need you ”
if we cut the ‘girl’ parts (changing it into “i need u” only), so we could see that the boys are really, really in bad shapes. like how they’re going to manage themselves when there’s none to look after them, taking care of their shits. everything was fallen apart and they didn’t know the ways to restore it back and how they wished that their friend was there. the phrase where it was said that ‘i would rather you say we break up’ could be mean as they would glad to lose the friendship rather than the life. at least, if they’re losing that friendship, they still could see each other and act as normal.
but, when the friend was dead. they could not move on and stuck in the past times, where they’re happily together.
and each times they done something alone, they might heard that friend’s voice, as the memories kept flooding back when they had done together before.
when they tried to move on, they always remember the activities thus making them back to square one and they tried to struggle with themselves. they might lose the battle with themselves or they just been confused between the present and the past.
that’s how i’m translating for their friendship.
however, in our youth... we’re just not losing our friends. we have crushes and love. so, what if we read the actual lyrics. it could be they were breaking up and one of them couldn’t accept the truth. he was broken down and never listened to their friends. he ruined himself and soon, letting himself wallowing in the self pity. not minding about the people around him.
we, could have been like that.
“You’re my one and only sun, only one in the world
I follow you but I just end up thirsty
It’s too late too late, I can’t live without you
Even though the branch is dry, it stretches out with all it’s mightEven if I reach out, my dream shatters
Even if I run crazily, I don’t get anywhere
Please just let me be yeah please let me be
This stupid idiot in love is strugglingLet me run
Let me run for you
Even if there are scars on my feet
I smile even when I look at your faceOnce again Run Run Run I can’t stop
Again Run Run Run I can’t do anything
I can’t do anything but run
I can’t do anything but love youOnce again Run Run Run it’s ok if I fall
Once again Run Run Run it’s ok if I’m hurt
Even if I can’t have it I try
My stupid fate laughs at me(Run)
Don’t tell me bye bye
(Run)
You make me cry cry
(Run)
Love is a lie lie
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me
Don’t tell me bye byeIt’s over but I can’t stop
I don’t know if this is sweat or my tears oh
My bare heart is hit by harsh wind
But it only makes me run harderLet me run
Let me run for you
Even if there are scars on my feet
I smile even when I look at your faceOnce again Run Run Run I can’t stop
Again Run Run Run I can’t do anything
I can’t do anything but run
I can’t do anything but love youOnce again Run Run Run it’s ok if I fall
Once again Run Run Run it’s ok if I’m hurt
Even if I can’t have it I try
My stupid fate laughs at meMemories become dry petals
It’s getting crushed
In my palms and by my feet
Behind my escaping back
Like a butterfly, it’s confused
I follow after your steps
[Jikook]
Show me the path, please stop me
Please let me breatheOnce again Run Run Run I can’t stop
Again Run Run Run I can’t do anything
I can’t do anything but run
I can’t do anything but love youOnce again Run Run Run it’s ok if I fall
Once again Run Run Run it’s ok if I’m hurt
Even if I can’t have it I try
My stupid fate laughs at me(Run)
Don’t tell me bye bye
(Run)
You make me cry cry
(Run)
Love is a lie lie
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me
Don’t tell me bye bye"
this is the most crucial point as we’ve reaching the climax -the middle part of the six main tracks in HYYH.
it was the turning point since that friend was dead. it was how the other friends occupying the loss with their own ways. one of them was having depression, anger issue, in denial, regrets and etc.
eventually, one of them had came to the sense and started to wake up everyone else but to no avail. they’re too deep in their own self-pity to climb up. their friend’s death was leaving a deep scar to their heart.
each of them started to follow their dead friend’s step. they wanted to be with him on the another world. but the realizing friend was trying to stop them. without hesitation, he might or might not revealing the truth to them and leaving them slowly to accept the truth.
“Burning it upFire
Fire
Fire
FireWhen I wake up in my room I have nothing
Once the sun goes down, I stumble
So completely drunk, drunk
Cursing around on the street, street
I’m out of my mind, like an insane person
It’s all a mess, livin’ like beepJust live how you want Your life is yours
Don’t try so hard It’s alright to lose
Errbody say La la la la la (La la la la la)
Say la la la la la (La la la la la)
Put your hands up and shout Burn it up
Burning up
Burn it all Bow wow wow
Burn it all Bow wow wowHey, burn it up
Like you want to burn it all
Hey, turn it up
Until the dawn breaks
It’s okay to just live We’re still young
Who do you think you are to say otherwise
Stop comparing, I’m just me (So what)Just live how you want Your life is yours
Don’t try so hard It’s alright to lose
Errbody say La la la la la (La la la la la)
Say la la la la la (La la la la la)
Put your hands up and shout Burn it up
Burning upBurn it all Bow wow wow
Burn it all Bow wow wow(Fire)

(Fire) Jump, go crazyBurn it all Bow wow wow
Burn it all Bow wow wowFire Fire, burn it all Bow wow wow
Fire Fire , burn it all Bow wow wow
Fire Fire , burn it all Bow wow wow
I’ll forgive you”
hm, how should i explain this. in this song, it could be that they have realise that their friend already dead so they trying to fight their inner self, trying to accept the fact.
they could not longer coping with their own anger, self pity, depression and regrets when they should know they will meet eventually up there. they’re trying to block the dark thoughts to suicide or things to ruin themselves by starting a new life.
this could be shown when the lyrics stated; “it’s okay to just live. we’re still young” means that even the dark past stayed past because they’re young. it is okay to make mistakes because when we’re growing up, we’ll come to learn them, anyways.
and it is your life that you hold, not anyone else. so, they were starting to organise their lives back and they could find the relief upon that.
however, there’s always a person who denied the truth among them.
“I want to breathe, I hate this night
I want to wake up, I hate this dream
I’m trapped inside of myself and I’m dead
Don’t wanna be lonely
Just wanna be yoursWhy is it so dark where you’re not here
It’s dangerous how wrecked I am
Save me because I can’t get a grip on myselfListen to my heartbeat
It calls you whenever it wants to
Because within this pitch black darkness
You are shining so brightlyGive me your hand
save me save me
I need your love before
I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fallGive me your hand save me save me
Give me your hand save me save meSave me, save meToday the moon shines brighter on the blank spot in my memories
It swallowed me, this lunatic, please save me tonight
(Please save me tonight, please save me tonight)
Within this childish madness you will save me tonightI knew that your salvation
Is a part of my life and the only helping hand that will embrase my pain
The best of me, you’re the only thing I have
Please raise your voice so that I can laugh again
Play onListen to my heartbeat, it calls you whenever it wants to
Because within this pitch black darkness, you are shining so brightlyGive me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fallGive me your hand save me save me
Give me your hand save me save meThank you for letting me be me
For helping me fly
For giving me wings
For straightening me out
For waking me from being suffocated
For waking me from a dream which was all I was living in
When I think of you the sun comes out
So I gave my sadness to the dog
(Thank you. For being ‘us’)Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall”
um, yeah. we’re finally reaching the end. on how that one particular friend that denied the truth. so, when everyone was doing fine, he was trying to find himself. resisting himself from doing thoughtless things.
the thing is, it could be that he watched how his friend died and he couldn’t help or he was the one who killed him. you know, that might because they were loving the same person but the dead friend got the girl. well, he was happy with them but he couldn’t deny the jealousy in his heart. that feeling became big and bigger until it killed himself inwards.
thus, an accident happened (who knew what it could be, right?) between two of them, resulting that friend died.
the memories rushed to his mind and he couldn’t forget it so he made a drastic measure. remember in i need u where there’s someone that might or might not revealing the truth, all of them had known and they may forgive this friend.
but he still felt the regret and he could try to end his life but they managed to stop them and help him to crawl out from that deep dark hole.
he slowly realizing himself that whatever it costed, his dead friend could forgive him.
last track, bts - young forever
“The curtain comes down (my breath is getting shorter)
I feel so complicated (I breathe out)
Did I make any mistakes today
How were the expressions on the audience?But I’m still happy that I became this way
So that I can make someone scream
When I hold lingering feelings
And get on the still hot, empty stageWhen I get on empty stage
I get scared from the emptiness
Between complicated feelings and the intersectionalities of life
I pretend like I’m numbThis isn’t my first time, it’s about time I get used to it
I try to hide it but I can’t
When the empty stage starts to cool down
I turn around with the empty house behind meI console myself
I tell myself that there is no such thing as a perfect world
I slowly empty myself
I can’t always get a big standing ovation every timeI shamelessly keep telling myself
Raise your voice higher and farther
There is no such thing as an eternal audience but I will still sing
I want to be myself today foreverI want to be a boy forever AH!Forever we are young
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever, we are young
I may fall down and get hurt
But I still run endlessly towards my dreamsForever 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
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever we are young
I may fall down and get hurt
But I still run endlessly towards my dreamsForever we are young
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever we are young (Ooh~)
I may fall down and get hurt
But I still run endlessly towards my dreams”
and yay! the epilogue! happy ending everyone!
everyone finally, finally and finally don’t get caught in the dark past and moving forward. those days were being experiences for them, the up and down in their youth where they grow up and be matured to make wise decisions.
that dead friend was always beside them, they never forget them and yet, they could live happily as before because there aren’t any regrets left for them to reminisce.
how about the end phrase for fire mv and save me mv.
what if i say it is “BOY MEETS WORLD” where the boys are exceptionally grown up, becoming a man. it could be true but maybe not because big hit loves to leave us hanging around. so yeah, this is only my theory, a bored one.
and also, if i’m making the reference from the mv and my theory:
yes, jin is the one who died and namjoon is the one who could not accept the truth and regretting everything so he acts passively around his friends. tae, yoongi, jungkook, jimin and hoseok were only in confusion and denial, added with their own self problems, they couldn’t hold up the burden.
so, that’s it. happy day to watch the save me ACTUAL music video tonight !!!
