Butterfly
방탄소년단 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

아무것도 생각하지 마
넌 아무 말도 꺼내지도 마
그냥 내게 웃어줘
난 아직도 믿기지가 않아
이 모든 게 다 꿈인 것 같아
사라지려 하지마

Is it true? Is it true?
You, you 너무 아름다워 두려워
Untrue, untrue, you, you, you

곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나

시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나

Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼
Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼

넌 마치 butterfly (butterfly, butterfly)
멀리서 훔쳐봐 손 닿으면 널 잃을까
이 칠흑 같은 어둠 속 날 밝히는 나비효과
니 작은 손짓 한 번에 현실을 잊어 난

살며시 쓰다듬는 바람 같아
살포시 표류하는 먼지 같아
넌 거기 있지만 왠지 닿지 않아 stop
꿈 같은 넌 내게 butterfly, high

Untrue, untrue, you, you, you

곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나

시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나

심장은 메마른 소리를 내
꿈인지 현실인지 알 수 없네
나의 해변의 카프카여
저기 숲으로 가진 말아줘
내 마음은 아직 너 위에 부서져 조각조각 까맣게 녹아 흘러
(난 그냥 이대로 증발하고 싶어)
내 사랑은 영원인 걸
It's all free for you baby

네 곁에 머물러줄래 (줄래)
내게 약속해줄래 (줄래)
손 대면 날아갈까 부서질까 겁나 겁나 겁나

시간을 멈출래 (줄래)
이 순간이 지나면 (지나면)
없었던 일이 될까 널 잃을까 겁나 겁나 겁나

Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼




Butterfly, like a butterfly
마치 butterfly, bu butterfly 처럼

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Butterfly" by BTS convey a message of vulnerability and fear of losing someone who is cherished. The song encourages the listener to not think or say anything, but simply smile. The singer expresses disbelief that everything happening feels like a dream and pleads for the person not to disappear. The chorus questions the truth and beauty of this person, admitting to being both amazed and afraid of them.


The lyrics continue by asking if this person will stay by their side and make a promise. The fear of breaking or losing that person is emphasized, as the singer wonders if they should stop time to prevent the moment from passing and potentially losing the person forever. The butterfly becomes a powerful symbol in the song, representing the person: beautiful, delicate, and capable of brightening the dark. The singer is captivated by the butterfly-like gestures and the ability to forget reality.


As the song progresses, the lyrics express uncertainty and confusion, as the singer is unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. They describe themselves as a Kafka on the beach, asking the person not to take them to the forest where their heart will break into pieces and dissolve into nothingness. Despite the fear and uncertainty, the singer proclaims their love is eternal.


Overall, "Butterfly" is a song that delves into the complexities of emotions, vulnerability, and the fear of losing someone who holds immense value.

BTS came from a small company, they started with nothing.
Jin who was casted just because of his looks,
Suga who left his family and gambled his education just to do what he really wanted to be,
Namjoon who was never have been supported by his parents,
Jimin who thought himself as ugly and fat,
Taehyung whose always been part of BTS but was never shown in any promotions- not until they debut,
Hoseok who seemed to always laugh but never felt as an accomplishment to his father,
And Jungkook who was very shy and have saved his parents at a young age by auditioning to companies.
Remember the days when they were struggling?
They even have to sacrifice and work hard just so they could eat?
They were squeezing themselves into one small apartment and have to take responsibilities- the reason why they wrote the song 'Move'.
The day they almost disband on N.O era because they don't have enough allowance and money to continue, but still they fought for their dreams?
There was also a time when Bang PD-nim asked Namjoon if he wanted to have a solo career or sacrifice for BTS. He could have choose to be a solo artist since it was his dreams, but he didn't.
He said BTS is BTS and they can make it!
Yet, some fans are telling him to 'leave bangtan' it hurts him alot.
Remember those times when they have to use their managers as extras to their MV's because they don't have enough budget?
They even asked if they can use or borrow their staffs' and managers' cars just to shoot 'I Need U' MV successfully.
Those times when Jimin has to starve himself just because people calls him fat and ugly.
That one interview where Yoongi said that; it was nice that people listens to their music because Taehyung and Jungkook are good looking.
And he thought that it was at least enough.
Do you remember when Hoseok was supposed to be the vocalist and Taehyung is the rapper, but he chose to rap instead and learn it because Taehyung wants to be a Vocalist.
It was Taehyung's dream and Hoseok loves his dongsaeng that much he would sacrifice.
Other fan base were accusing them for plagiarism just because they had the smallest detail whose the same with other big K-pop group which is actually just a coincidence.
There was a time when Yoongi packed 300 gifts and letters just to give to their 300 fans who will attend at their mini fan meetings.
So why do people judge them so fastly?
Did you know that Jimin came all the way to Seoul from Busan just to persuade his dreams?
Did you know that Taehyung lived with his grandma gor almost half of his life making him innocent from what else is out there in our world?
Did you know that Jungkook set aside his embarrassment just to meet the others expectations?
Yes, he is the golden maknae, but he suffers too when he see his hyungs having a hard time, he cries.
And there was a time when Jimin caught him crying and the reason is because he misses his family.
Jungkook often cry secretly so that his hyungs wouldn't worry.
Did you know that Jin auditioned to make his mother proud of him and so that his mom would have something to brag off to those judgmental neighbors they have.
He worked hard on his vocals yet people called him talentless.
Did you know that Namjoon worked hard just to produce songs yet there was a time when his mom ruined his computer and broke his mike so he could focus on studying?
Did you know that Hoseok auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him?
Because he felt like he was a disappointment?
Those rookie days where they only listen to the awardings and be amazed by their seniors.
They can't do anything but to watch those idols who receives the awards.
The days when they were happy with just 300 views on YouTube, mini fangatherings, small numbers of followers, and one Daesang award.
They were contented.
And now they've reached to the top and became more successful. From 150 fans to 6M and counting,
From a small practice room to a bigger one,
From cramped dorm with roommates to big dorm with each of them having a room,
From one daesang award to more awards and they've even won on BBMAs.
BTS never expected this before their fourth year anniversary, they've come so far- so far that the only chance we have to see them is to go to their concertor (NEVER) meet them along the street with 0.01% chance.
But really ARMYs! We've came this far fam, let's love them and give them our support till the end!
I wanted to thank y'all. I love you fam! I love BTS. Let's stay together until the end. If you believe in what I've said. If you believe in 1! 2! 3!
A true ARMY shall spread this~
