You 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
Ay 심장이 뛰지 않는대
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 네가
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" seem to explore the fear of losing inspiration and passion. The opening lines "Do your thang, Do your thang with me now" and "What's my thang, What's my thang, tell me now" portray a sense of anxiety and confusion that arises when one's love for art and creativity starts to fade. The lines "Tryna pull up, 시간이 멈춘 듯해" (Tryna pull up, it feels like time has stopped) further emphasize the fear of losing the spark that ignites creativity.


The chorus "Killin' me now, killin' me now, Do you hear me yeah" highlights the desperation and frustration in the singer's voice. The following verses describe their attempts to hold onto inspiration and passion. They try to find their way back to their art but face a different kind of fear - the fear that they may never be as good as they once were. "이게 나를 더 못 울린다면 (If this doesn't make me cry anymore), 내 가슴을 더 떨리게 못 한다면 (If this doesn't make my heart tremble more), 어쩜 이렇게 한 번 죽겠지 아마 (I might just die once like this)" - these lines express a sense of helplessness and desperation.


The song ends on a relatively positive note - "천천히 난 눈을 떠, 여긴 나의 작업실 내 스튜디오 (Slowly, I open my eyes, this is my workspace, my studio)". The singer comes to the realization that their studio is where they belong and the lines "내가 뛰어들어갈게, 가장 깊은 곳에서 나는 날 봤어 (I'll jump in, I saw myself deep inside)" show that they have found inspiration within themselves. Overall, "Black Swan" is a heartfelt song about the love and fear that comes with creativity.
