The song "고엽" by 방탄소년단 (BTS) tells the story of a love that is fading away, much like the falling autumn leaves. The lyrics describe how the singer's love is becoming weaker, much like the leaves that lose their strength and eventually turn into nothingness. The singer expresses their desire to hold onto their love, but it seems to slip away, much like the leaves they can no longer grasp. BTS uses the metaphor of falling leaves to symbolize the fragility of love and how it can wither away over time.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Never, never fall" multiple times, which can be interpreted as a plea to never fall out of love. The song's lyrics also touch on the theme of nostalgia, as the singer describes how the memories of their love are gradually fading away like the leaves. The bridge of the song introduces a new layer to the metaphor, as the falling leaves become a symbol of the singer's own emotions, which are falling apart and becoming scattered like the leaves.
Overall, "고엽" is a poignant and melancholic song that explores the complexities of love and the fleeting nature of emotions. BTS uses powerful imagery to convey the message that love can be as beautiful and fragile as a falling leaf.
