And I know 너의 온긴
모두 다 진짜란 걸
푸른 꽃을 꺾는 손
잡고 싶지만

내 운명인 걸
Don't smile on me
Light on me
너에게 다가설 수 없으니까
내겐 불러줄 이름이 없어

You know that I can't
Show you me
Give you me
초라한 모습 보여줄 순 없어
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가
But I still want you

외로움의 정원에
핀 너를 닮은 꽃
주고 싶었지 ooh-hoo-hoo
바보 같은 가면을 벗고서

But I know
영원히 그럴 수는 없는 걸
숨어야만 하는 걸
추한 나니까

난 두려운 걸
초라해
I'm so afraid
결국엔 너도 날 또 떠나버릴까
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가

할 수 있는 건
정원에
이 세상에
예쁜 너를 닮은 꽃을 피운 다음
니가 아는 나로 숨 쉬는 것
But I still want you, hah, hah
I still want you, hah

어쩌면 그때
조금만
이만큼만
용길 내서 너의 앞에 섰더라면
지금 모든 건 달라졌을까?

난 울고 있어 (ooh-ooh-whoa)
사라진
무너진
홀로 남겨진 이 모래성에서
부서진 가면을 바라보면서
And I still want you

(But I still want you)
(But I still want you)
And I still want you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BTS feat. Steve Aoki’s song The Truth Untold talks about a garden full of loneliness that is personified by a thorn-covered and lonely sandcastle. The garden represents the singer's loneliness, and he feels trapped in it, trying to find a way out. He wants to know the person he saw hiding in the garden and asks for their name and where they want to go. But, he knows he cannot get close to them, so he hides his true self behind a mask, knowing that he can never reveal his real face.

The chorus of the song shows the despair of the singer, knowing that he could never show his true self to the person he wants, and he is afraid of being alone again. As he looks at the flower that resembles the person he wants, he reveals that he is afraid and alone, wondering if the person he wants will leave him. He sings about hiding from the world, knowing that he can never be himself or be close to the person he wants.

Overall, The Truth Untold explores the pain and loneliness of a person who cannot reveal their true self and is afraid of being alone again.
