Reflection
BTS/방탄소년단 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know
Every life's a movie
We got different stars and stories
We got different nights and mornings
Our scenarios ain't just boring
나는 이 영화가 너무 재밌어
매일매일 잘 찍고 싶어
난 날 쓰다듬어주고 싶어

날 쓰다듬어주고 싶어

근데 말야 가끔 나는
내가 너무너무 미워
사실 꽤나 자주 나는
내가 너무 미워
내가 너무 미울 때 난 뚝섬에 와
그냥 서 있어 익숙한 어둠과

웃고 있는 사람들과
나를 웃게 하는 beer
슬며시 다가와서
나의 손을 잡는 fear
괜찮아 다 둘셋이니까
나도 친구가 있음 좋잖아

세상은 절망의 또 다른 이름
나의 키는 지구의 또 다른 지름
나는 나의 모든 기쁨이자 시름
매일 반복돼 날 향한 좋고 싫음
저기 한강을 보는 친구야
우리 옷깃을 스치면 인연이 될까
아니 우리 전생에 스쳤을지 몰라
어쩜 수없이 부딪혔을지도 몰라

어둠 속에서 사람들은
낮보다 행복해 보이네
다들 자기가 있을 곳을 아는데
나만 하릴없이 걷네
그래도 여기 섞여있는 게 더 편해
밤을 삼킨 뚝섬은 나에게
전혀 다른 세상을 건네
나는 자유롭고 싶다
자유에게서 자유롭고 싶다
지금은 행복한데 불행하니까
나는 나를 보네
뚝섬에서, yeah

I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself

I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself

In fact, it happens to me quite often

내가 너무 미워
I hate myself too much

내가 너무 미울 때 난 뚝섬에 와
When I hate myself too much, I come to Ddooksum Island

그냥 서 있어 익숙한 어둠과
I just stand still with the familiar darkness

웃고 있는 사람들과
With people who are laughing

나를 웃게 하는 beer
And beer that makes me laugh

슬며시 다가와서
Quietly come to me

나의 손을 잡는 fear
The fear that holds my hand

It's okay, we are all together

우리 옷깃을 스치면 인연이 될까
If our clothes touch, would we become fated to each other?

아니 우리 전생에 스쳤을지 몰라

어쩜 수없이 부딪혔을지도 몰라
Who knows, we could have collided countless times

어둠 속에서 사람들은
People in the darkness

낮보다 행복해 보이네
Seem happier than in the daytime

다들 자기가 있을 곳을 아는데
Everyone knows where they belong

나만 하릴없이 걷네
I'm the only one wandering aimlessly

그래도 여기 섞여있는 게 더 편해
Still, I feel more comfortable being mixed in with them here

밤을 삼킨 뚝섬은 나에게
Ddooksum Island, swallowed by the night, gives me

전혀 다른 세상을 건네
A completely different world

나는 자유롭고 싶다
I want to be free

자유에게서 자유롭고 싶다
I want to be free from freedom itself

지금은 행복한데 불행하니까
Right now, I am happy but unhappy

나는 나를 보네
I see myself

뚝섬에서, yeah
At Ddooksum Island, yeah

I wish I could love myself
I hope to be able to love myself
