Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "ペップセ" by 방탄소년단 (BTS). The song discusses the pressures and stereotypes imposed on the members of BTS. The name "ペップセ" is a Japanese pronunciation of "pepsi," which symbolizes being labeled and confined within predetermined expectations. The lyrics express a desire to break free from these expectations and challenge the biases and prejudices that society imposes.


The first verse highlights the frustration and dissatisfaction the members feel, as they are constantly judged and limited by society's prescribed norms. They criticize the system that confines them and demand a change in perception, in hopes of breaking the stereotypes placed upon them.


The chorus continues to emphasize the members' frustration with society's obsession with hard work and the constant demand for effort. They express exhaustion from hearing repetitive complaints about the need for effort and question why this is considered the only measure of success. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance, as they reject the notion that their worth is solely determined by their efforts.


The bridge of the song questions the fairness of putting blame on them and labels such as "normal" or "expected." They reject the idea that their experiences and journey should be compared to others, emphasizing that they aim for the sky and prioritize their own growth and ambitions, rather than conforming to societal expectations and seeking validation.


Overall, the lyrics of "ペップセ" by BTS convey their frustration with societal judgments and expectations, as well as their determination to challenge and break free from these confines.
