EPILOGUE: Young Forever
BTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

막이 내리고 나는 숨이 차
복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때

더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
괜한 공허함에 난 겁을 내
복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
빈 객석을 뒤로하네

지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은
없다고 자신에게 말해 난
점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일
순 없어 큰 박수갈채가
이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히
니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리
영원한 관객은 없대도
난 노래할 거야
오늘의 나로 영원하고파
영원히 소년이고 싶어 난 Aah

Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해

Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young

Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young

Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해

Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리네 이 미로
Forever we are young




넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해

Overall Meaning

The song EPILOGUE: Young Forever by BTS is about the transition from youth to adulthood and about pursuing one's dreams despite the uncertainties and hardships. In the first verse, the singer talks about how he feels breathless and subdued as the curtain closes after a performance. He wonders if he made any mistakes and contemplates the reactions of the audience. Despite the complexities in his heart, he feels happy that he has the ability to make someone shout with excitement. He holds onto the lingering emotions and stands on the empty, hot stage.


In the second verse, the singer feels scared and empty amidst his complicated emotions about life. Despite being used to it, he cannot hide his dullness. As the empty stage cools down, he leaves the empty seats behind him. The chorus speaks to the theme of the song that the singers want to be young forever and pursue their dreams regardless of obstacles. They compare their journey to a maze and acknowledge that they may fall and hurt themselves along the way, but they will keep running towards their dreams.


Line by Line Meaning

막이 내리고 나는 숨이 차
As the curtains close, I take a deep breath


복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
I exhale with a heart that has become complicated


오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
Did I make any mistakes today?


관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
How did the audience react?


그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
Still, I'm happy that I can be this version of myself


누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
Because I can make someone scream with delight


채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
I embrace the residual feelings that haven't fled


아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
Even when I stood on the hot and empty stage


더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
When I stood on the hot and empty stage


괜한 공허함에 난 겁을 내
I get scared of useless emptiness


복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
On the line of my life amidst complex emotions


괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
I pretend to be numb for no reason


처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
Although it's not the first time, I should get used to it


숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
Even if I try to hide it, I can't


텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
When the empty stage cools down


빈 객석을 뒤로하네
I leave the empty audience behind


지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은
Now I comfort myself, that there is no perfect world


없다고 자신에게 말해 난
I tell myself that it doesn't exist


점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일
Gradually I'm being emptied, how long will it be mine


순 없어 큰 박수갈채가
There is no order of events, only a thunderous applause


이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히
It speaks to me like this, shamelessly


니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리
Raise your voice higher and go further


영원한 관객은 없대도
Even if there are no eternal fans


난 노래할 거야
I'll keep singing


오늘의 나로 영원하고파
I want to be forever with today's me


영원히 소년이고 싶어 난 Aah
I want to be forever young, Aah


Forever we are young
Forever, we remain young


나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
Between the petals of flying flowers


헤매어 달리는 이 미로
I'm lost, running in this maze


넘어져 다치고 아파도
Even if I stumble, get hurt, and ache


끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
I will endlessly run towards my dreams


Forever ever ever ever
Forever ever ever ever


(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
(Dreams, Hope, Move forward, Move forward)


Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever we are young

Kim Namjoon was first member to join BTS. His mom opposed him joining BTS because she wanted him to study well. He used to work so hard with the productions yet his mom would break his computers and mics so that he would concentrate on his studies.

Kim Seokjin , who joined because of his visuals, got criticized that he had no talent in singing but he proved all of them wrong. He wanted to make his mom proud and wanted his mom to have something to brag about her son to their judgmental neighbors.

Min Yoongi , whose parents didn't support him well in his music career, had to manage his life on his own. If he had to take the bus, he didn't have money to eat. If he spent it on food, he couldn't take the bus. But now, he's earning millions.

Jung Hoseok had earlier auditioned in JYP but was not accepted in the later half. Being a street dancer and having so much talent, he almost gave up and wanted to leave BTS but his members apposed him in that and he definitely didn't let them down. Yet, he was judged because of his visuals. He auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him.

Park Jimin , who had to starve himself only because people called him 'fat'. He came all the way from Busan to persuade his dreams and used to practice so much that once he slept for only 3 hours. That is what has made him perfect today.

Kim Taehyung lived with his grandmother for 15 years to support her in her farm. He had always been a part of BTS but was never shown in any promotion-not until they debut. Taehyung said he used to practice filming log so that when he's finally announced as a member he can do a lot of for his fans.

Jeon Jungkook came to Seoul from Busan in a very young age persuade his dream. He even traveled all the way to America to learn dancing. Once Jimin caught him crying alone and when Jimin asked why, Jungkook said that he misses his family.

BTS , they might be global legends today but they had their own hardships too. So please stop calling them overrated and learn to respect them. They deserve what they're getting today.

There is something I don't understand ... If you're a real fan of BTS, I don't understand why people forget to watch this masterpiece. For the beauty of the song, for the beauty of the MV, this video deserves so much more views.

EDIT :
When I said that a year ago, I was thinking more of the following fact: why do people prefer to stream their biggest hit songs rather than the neglected ones?
In the comment section, I was called a dumb because I said that, but it wasn't mean at all on my part. Nor was it a reproach I made, just a fact that I noted.
Sure, I know there is the version of 1theK, but even with it, the "Young Forever" MV is ultimately not at all popular. I was just wondering why, because I still find it curious. No need to throw stones at me, and to insult me ​​for free.
I obviously understand that this is a song that transmits a lot of emotions, and that it is not necessarily easy to listen to.
In any case, I simply regret that this MV is not better known in the videography of Bangtan, and finally, I just purple every single ARMY who will read this message with hindsight and kindness, as they are with BTS themselves.
Take care of yourselves guys ! Saranghae !



@astroaroha2396

NAMJOON is the UNIVERSE
SEOKJIN is the MOON
YOONGI is the STAR
HOSEOK is the SUN

Once you enter our fandom
You'll experience to live in a PURPLE GALAXY
