Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
Do your thang
Do your thang with me now

What's my thang?
What's my thang? Tell me now
Tell me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ayy 심장이 뛰지 않는데
더는 음악을 들을 때
Tryna pull up
시간이 멈춘 듯해
Oh, that would be my first death
I been always afraid of

이게 나를 더 못 울린다면
내 가슴을 더 떨리게 못 한다면
어쩜 이렇게 한 번 죽겠지, 아마
But what if that moment's right now, right now

귓가엔 느린 심장 소리만 bump, bump, bump
벗어날래도 그 입속으로 jump, jump, jump
어떤 노래도 와닿지 못해
소리 없는 소릴 질러

모든 빛이 침묵하는 바다 yeah, yeah, yeah
길 잃은 내 발목을 또 잡아 yeah, yeah, yeah
어떤 소리도 들리지 않아 yeah, yeah, yeah
Killin' me now, killin' me now
Do you hear me? Yeah

홀린 듯 천천히 가라앉아 nah, nah, nah
몸부림쳐봐도 사방이 바닥 nah, nah
모든 순간들이 영원이 돼 yeah, yeah, yeah
Film it now, film it now
Do you hear me? Yeah

Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
Do your thang
Do your thang with me now

What's my thang?
What's my thang? Tell me now
Tell me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Deeper
Yeah, I think I'm goin' deeper
자꾸 초점을 잃어
이젠 놓아줘, 싫어 니가
차라리 내 발로 갈게
내가 뛰어들어갈게
가장 깊은 곳에서 나는 날 봤어

천천히 난 눈을 떠
여긴 나의 작업실, 내 스튜디오
거센 파도 깜깜하게 나를 스쳐도
절대 끌려가지 않을 거야 다시 또
Inside I saw myself, myself

귓가엔 빠른 심장 소리만 bump, bump, bump
두 눈을 뜨고 나의 숲으로 jump, jump, jump
그 무엇도 날 삼킬 수 없어
힘껏 나는 소리 질러

모든 빛이 침묵하는 바다 yeah, yeah, yeah
길 잃은 내 발목을 또 잡아 yeah, yeah, yeah
어떤 소리도 들리지 않아 yeah, yeah, yeah
Killin' me now, killin' me now
Do you hear me? Yeah

홀린 듯 천천히 가라앉아 nah, nah, nah
몸부림쳐봐도 사방이 바닥 nah, nah
모든 순간들이 영원이 돼 yeah, yeah, yeah
Film it now, film it now
Do you hear me? Yeah

Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
Do your thang
Do your thang with me now

What's my thang?
What's my thang? Tell me now




Tell me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BTS's song "Black Swan" delve into the theme of artistic passion and the fear of losing it. The opening lines emphasize individuality and encourage listeners to express themselves freely. The repetition of "Do your thang" signifies the importance of staying true to oneself and pursuing one's own unique path. The question "What's my thang?" is a plea to find one's own artistic identity and purpose.


The next verse portrays a sense of stagnation and fear. The lines "My heart no longer races / When I listen to music anymore" convey a loss of connection and inspiration. The singer expresses a desire to break free from this stagnant state and tries to recapture the excitement of music. The mention of the possibility of "death" in relation to losing that connection further emphasizes the importance of artistic passion in their lives.


The lyrics then shift to a state of frustration and desperation. The lines "All I hear is a slow heartbeat / Even if I try to escape, it jumps into my mouth" reflect a struggle to connect with any music or sound. The search for meaning and the need to be heard becomes overwhelming. The image of a silent, still ocean represents a state of despair where nothing reaches or resonates with them. The repetition of "Yeah, yeah, yeah" emphasizes this frustration and their desperate cry for validation.


In the second verse, the lyrics explore the singer's journey into self-discovery and the pursuit of their art. The lines "Deeper, yeah I think I'm goin' deeper / I keep losing focus / Let me go now, I don't want it, you" convey a desire to find a deeper connection with their artistic self and the need to let go of external distractions. The singer decides to take the plunge into their own creativity, even if it means leaving behind the familiar.


The following lines describe the singer's awakening within their own creative world, symbolized by their studio. They express a determination not to be swayed by external influences. The mention of seeing oneself inside highlights self-reflection and introspection. The rapid heartbeat in contrast to the previous verse signifies a renewed energy and excitement. The lyrics reflect the belief that no external force can extinguish their inner voice and passion.


Overall, "Black Swan" explores the fear of losing artistic inspiration and the inner journey artists must undertake to reconnect with their creative selves.

Even when I try to get away, I jump, jump, jump back into its embrace
Even when I try to avoid it, I find myself drawn back to it


No song can resonate with me

Scream without a sound

I'll dive headfirst into the unknown


From the deepest place, I saw myself

Gradually, I awaken to my true self

Inside, I saw myself, myself
Internally, I discovered my true identity

Opening my eyes and jumping into my own forest
Facing reality and entering my own world


Nothing can consume me
No external force can overwhelm me
