RUN
(BTS) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

넌 내 하나뿐인 태양 세상에 딱 하나
널 향해 피었지만 난 자꾸 목말라
너무 늦었어 늦었어 너 없이 살 순 없어
가지가 말라도 더 힘껏 손을 뻗어

손 뻗어봤자 금세 깨버릴 꿈 (꿈 꿈)
미칠 듯 달려도 또 제자리일 뿐 (뿐 뿐)
그냥 날 태워줘 그래 더 밀쳐내줘
이건 사랑에 미친 멍청이의 뜀박질

더 뛰게 해줘
나를 더 뛰게 해줘
두 발에 상처만 가득해도
니 얼굴만 보면 웃는 나니까

다시 run run run 난 멈출 수가 없어
또 run run run 난 어쩔 수가 없어
어차피 이것밖에 난 못해
너를 사랑하는 것 밖엔 못해

다시 run run run 넘어져도 괜찮아
또 run run run 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아
가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해
바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

(Run) don't tell me bye bye
(Run) you make me cry cry
(Run) love is a lie lie
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me bye bye

다 끝난 거라는데 난 멈출 수가 없네
땀인지 눈물인지 나 더는 분간 못해 oh
내 발가벗은 사랑도 거친 태풍 바람도
나를 더 뛰게만 해 내 심장과 함께

더 뛰게 해줘
나를 더 뛰게 해줘
두 발에 상처만 가득해도
니 얼굴만 보면 웃는 나니까

다시 run run run 난 멈출 수가 없어
또 run run run 난 어쩔 수가 없어
어차피 이것밖에 난 못해
너를 사랑하는 것 밖엔 못해

다시 run run run 넘어져도 괜찮아
또 run run run 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아
가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해
바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

추억들이 마른 꽃잎처럼
산산이 부서져가
내 손 끝에서 내 발 밑에서
달려가는 네 등 뒤로
마치 나비를 쫓듯 꿈 속을 헤매듯
너의 흔적을 따라가
길을 알려줘 날 좀 멈춰줘
날 숨쉬게 해줘

다시 run run run 난 멈출 수가 없어
또 run run run 난 어쩔 수가 없어
어차피 이것밖에 난 못해
너를 사랑하는 것 밖엔 못해

다시 run run run 넘어져도 괜찮아
또 run run run 좀 다쳐도 괜찮아
가질 수 없다 해도 난 족해
바보 같은 운명아 나를 욕해

(Run) don't tell me bye bye
(Run) you make me cry cry
(Run) love is a lie lie




Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me bye bye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BTS’s song “Run” speaks to the struggles and complications of love. The song begins with the idea that the person being sung to is the only one in the world and is compared to a single shining sun. However, despite this affection, the singer’s love is not reciprocated equally or at all. The singer expresses how much they long for their love interest, but they are constantly feeling thirsty for more, “널 향해 피었지만 난 자꾸 목말라.” The chorus repeats the sentiment of “run,” which is interpreted as a call to action to keep going and never give up despite the hardships encountered in love. The singer declares that they can’t live without this person and that they will continue chasing this love no matter the cost, even if it means constantly falling down and getting hurt.


The intense emotions in “Run” are further depicted through various metaphors and imagery such as a dream that is easily forgotten, which represents the singer’s fear of not being able to achieve their desires, and running in circles, symbolizing the feeling of being stuck and not able to move forward. The song also incorporates elements of nature such as the “hurricane winds” that represent the tough times in love and the sun that symbolizes the focal point of the singer’s universe, their love interest. The lyrics convey a call to keep fighting, even when love seems impossible, and the chorus repeats the idea that “all I can do is love you.”

And fall apart like sand.

From my fingertips to below my feet,


달려가는 네 등 뒤로

Like chasing a butterfly or wandering in a dream,


너의 흔적을 따라가
I follow your footsteps.


길을 알려줘 날 좀 멈춰줘
Show me the way and stop me for a moment.


날 숨쉬게 해줘
Let me breathe.
