COME BACK HOME
방탄소년단 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I'm coming back home
난 지금 무엇을 찾으려고 애를 쓰는 걸까
난 지금 어디로 쉬지않고 흘러가는가

난 내 삶의 끝을 본 적이 있어
내 가슴속은 갑갑해졌어
내 삶을 막은 것은
나의 내일에 대한 두려움

Angry? Hungry? Yes, I'm hangry
매일이 되풀이, 미랜 개뿔이
나는 없었어
그리고 또 내일조차 없었어

아직 우린 젊기에
괜찮은 미래가 있기에
자 이제 그 차가운 눈물을 닦고
Come back home

왜 시간을 허비해
내 피 땀들은 정직해
자 이제 그 트로피에 내 이름 박고
Come back home

You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
거칠은 인생속에
You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
나를 완성하겠어

Come back, come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home (거칠은 인생속에)
Come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home (나를 완성하겠어)

Hunnit band, hunnit band, hunnit band
가문의 영광 어머니께 (oh)
또 내 식구들의 배, 터지게 부풀려주려
계속 열일해, 열일해, 열일해
친구들, 걱정 붙들어 매
우리들 앞길이 훤해
Started from the bottom and we still going up
난 더 많은것을 원해

아직 우린 젊기에 괜찮은 미래가 있기에
자 이제 그 차가운 눈물을 닦고
Come back home

왜 시간을 허비해
내 피 땀들은 정직해
자 이제 그 트로피에 내 이름 박고
Come back home

You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
거칠은 인생속에
You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
나를 완성하겠어

Oh, you must come back (yo)
You must come back (yo)
You must come back home (집에 돌아와)

Oh, you must come back (yo)
You must come back (yo)
You must come back home (집에 돌아와)

'Cause I'm coming back home

You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
거칠은 인생속에
You must come back home
떠나간 마음보다 따뜻한
You must come back home
나를 완성하겠어

Come back, come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home (거칠은 인생속에)




Come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home (나를 완성하겠어)

lyrics to understand the song for international armys :
[Intro: J-Hope, Jin]
Cuz' I'm comin' back home
What am I trying so hard to find now?
Where am I continuously drifting to?

[Verse 1: J-Hope]
I've seen the end of my life
I feel suffocated inside my heart
What is blocking my life is my fear towards tomorrow

[Verse 2: J-Hope]
Angry? Hungry? Yes I'm hangry
Everyday is repeating, the future is bleak
There was no me
And there was no future
[Pre-Chorus 1: Rap Monster]
Because we are still young
There is a decent future
So let’s wipe that cold tears now and
Come back home

[Pre-Chorus 2: SUGA]
Why are you wasting your time?
My blood and sweat are truthful
Now, let's imprint my name on that trophy and
Come back home

[Chorus: Rap Monster, Jungkook]
You must come back home
Warmer than my heart which has left
You must come back home
In this rough life
You must come back home
Warmer than my heart which has left
You must come back home
I will complete myself

[Hook: V, Jungkook]
Come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home
(In this rough life)
Come back to my home, come back home
Come back to my home, come back home
(I will complete myself)
[Verse 3: Rap Monster]
Hunnit band, hunnit band, hunnit band
An honor to my family, to my mother
And to make my family get stuffed til their stomachs explode
I continuously work hard, work hard, work hard

[Verse 4: SUGA]
Friends, don't you worry
Our future path is bright
Started from the bottom and we still going up
I still want more

[Pre-Chorus 1: Rap Monster]
Because we are still young
There is a decent future
So let’s wipe that cold tears now and
Come back home

[Pre-Chorus 2: SUGA]
Why waste time
My blood and sweat speak the truth
Now, let's imprint my name on that trophy and
Come back home

[Chorus: Rap Monster, Jimin]
You must come back home
Warmer than my heart which has left
You must come back home
In this rough life
You must come back home
Warmer than my heart which has left
You must come back home
I will complete myself
[Post-Chorus: Jungkook. J-Hope, Jimin]
Oh, you must come back (Yah)
You must come back (Yah)
You must come back home

You must come back home
(Come back to my home)

Its funny to me, because I haven't really listened to any K-pop for about 5 years now. I actually think this was the last proper song I listened to by a K-pop group. I was obsessed with BTS from 2014-2017, but then got back into heavy metal and rock again.

Yet I still always end up floating back to this song, and some of Suga's independent work. It just hits a bit different. I listened to this like 5 times a day when it came out, that summer I had finished high school, was working a sh*tty job, poor and broke, and being forced to leave by my parents so that I wouldn't end up ruining my life living with them. I used to have to work 2 hours just to pay my train fare to the work, yet I couldn't work more than 20hrs a week or my parents benefits would be cut. It was hilariously sad.

Then I went to university, had several breakdowns, tried to kill myself a couple times, got asked to come back home by my parents, and I refused. I said I'd just get a job and stay in the new city. It took 5 months of sitting miserably doing nothing, applying to jobs, drinking myself to death, until I found a crappy 30hr a week job and managed to stay living there instead of going back home. Because going back home would've been worse than anything else.

And now its been over 5 years, and nothing has gotten brilliant, but my reality now is better than if I ever went back home to my parents when things were going sour. Maybe that's why I keep coming back here to this music video. Like some kind of reminder, of when I first listened to it religiously to the place I'm at now. Somehow my circumstances aren't that much different, but my mindset has solidified tenfold.

Nah, regardless, this definitely has a special place in my heart. Even if it isn't to my musical taste, its somehow still stayed stuck in my head. So that's good.



@psychofangirl_0428

Am I obsessed with:
1. Jins high note at the beginning.
2. The way Joon says "You must come back home".
3. The chorus
4. Jungkook and Jimin's "You must come back, you must come back, you must come back home."
5. The rapping
6. The music video
7. Taehyung VOCALS. HE'S A GODSEND, I TELL YOU-



8. EVERYTHING
Excuse u for thinking I only enjoyed one part of this masterpiece

For people asking why this is under Stone Music Ent. and not BigHit, this is only a remake BTS did from original song was by Seo Taiji & Boys, they covered it for the 25th anniversary of Seo Taiji & Boys because Seo Taiji had personally asked them! That anniversary project was managed by CJ E&M and Stone Music Entertainment belongs to CJ E&M

@crystaljinnie3643

Anjeliki MiLa How was this song produced by BTS if it was released by Seo Taiji and boys in 1995? Some of the members weren’t even born yet

@crystaljinnie3643

Foreign Swaggers The whole maknae line wasn’t even born yet😂😂😂 (made in October)

@crystaljinnie3643

Foreign Swaggers Jimin and Taehyung were still in their mothers stomach when it was released, maybe they produced the song in there?🤔

@_rywrld

Ah this is pretty much what I was guessing, thank you

@ssungsstar
