For Youth
BTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까? Baby
Every time I miss you (miss you)
습관이 돼버린 그 말 (it's so true)

눈을 떠보니 십년 전
논현동을 서성이던
너무 쉽게 울었고
너무 쉽게 웃던 때
많은 계절 뒤에
겨우 뒤돌아봤을 때
You always here with us together
And every second was forever, oh

측정할 수 없는 마음
미끄러지던 내 삶
베개에 머리가 닿으면
깨지 않길 바랬던 밤 (wake up)
이젠 네가 있는 여기
This a new home to me
언제든 돌아올 테니까
Baby, don't you worry
우리가 걷는 이 길이
모두 다 길이 될 테니

If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까? Baby
Every time I miss you (miss you)
습관이 돼버린 그 말 (it's so true)
You're my best friend
For the rest of my life

하나, 둘, 셋, 우리의 합
Ayy 잊지 못해 모든 순간 ayy




Oh 나의 봄날을 책임져준 flower
덕분에 나다웠어
날 위로해 준 너의 그 무수한 말 oh, oh, oh
(Ayy) 그게 날 만든 거야 oh, oh, oh
그래 넌 나의 젊음
또 나의 청춘 고마운 벗
내 자랑, 내 천국, 또 love

사방이 깜깜했지 (깜깜했지)
그 사이 한줄기 빛 (한줄기 빛)
정말 그대여서 다행이야 참
함께임에 우린 빛나잖아

달리고 또 넘어지고
일으켜주고 쓰러지기도 oh
그 손 내밀어 주겠니
몇 번이든 일어날 테니
힘들면 잠시 쉬어도 돼
널 기다리며 언제나 이곳에
Daydreamin' bout us facin'
Really don't wanna say it but

If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까? Baby
Every time I miss you (miss you)
습관이 돼버린 그 말 (it's so true)
You're my best friend
For the rest of my life
I wish I could turn back time, ooh

모든 게 쉽던 그때 (그때)
더 많이 해줄 걸 그 말 (그 말)
I'll be with you
For the rest of my life, ooh, ooh, yeah
Rest of my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to BTS's song For Youth explore the impact that meeting someone can have on shaping one's life, while also celebrating the enduring friendship that has resulted from that encounter. The song opens with a melancholic reflection on what life would be like if the singer had never met their friend, highlighting their dependency on each other and the deep connection they share. The first verse then transitions into a nostalgic recounting of the past, reminiscing on the various seasons of life they've experienced together, and how the friend has been a constant presence throughout. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the opening lines, emphasizing how the simple fact of meeting this person has changed the singer's life irrevocably.


The second verse devotes itself more explicitly to celebrating the friendship, with a few lines recalling the specific ways in which the friend has supported and empowered the singer ("The flower that held up my spring days / made me myself." - this line is a reference to a scene in the Korean drama " Reply 1988" which the members of BTS have said inspired much of the song's lyrics ). This verse also includes a moment of vulnerability, with the singer admitting that at times they've tripped and fallen - but their friend has always been there to lift them up again. The bridge has an upbeat tone, with the singer assuring their friend they will always be by their side, through thick and thin. The song concludes with a wistful admission that the past was easier, yet the friend is what makes the future worth looking forward to.

For youth

I want you forever
I want to be forever with you, ah
Forever we are young
Lily among the raindrops
This running maze that wanders
Forever we are young
Even if you fall and get hurt
Endlessly running towards the dream

[Jungkook, Jin, V]
If I never met you
Oh, what am I like, baby
Every time I miss you (Miss you)
Those words that have became a habit
(It's so true)

[V, Jin, Jimin]
When I opened my eyes 10 years ago
I was watching around Nonhyeon-dong
I cried so easily
When you laugh
When I just looked back
After many seasons
You always here with us together
And every second was forever, oh

[RM]
Mind's unmeasurable
My life was slipping
When your head hits the pillow
I didn't want to wake up tonight
(Wake up)
Now you are here
This is a home to me
I'll be back anytime
Baby, don't you worry
This road we walk
Everything will be a way, oh

[V, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook]
If I never met you
Oh, what am I like, baby
Every time I miss you (Miss you)
Those words that have became a habit
(It's so true)
You're my best friend
For the rest of my life

[j-hope, Suga]
Oh, one, two three
Our sun, ayy
Can't forget, mmh
Every moment, ayy
Oh, my spring day
I was like myself, thanks to the flower that took responsibility
Your countless words that comforted me, oh, oh, oh
That's what made myself, oh, oh, oh
Yes, you're my youth
Again, my youth, my grateful friend
My pride, heaven and love
It was dark everywhere (It was dark)
In the meantime, a ray of light (A ray of light)
I'm really glad it's you
We shine because we are together

[Jimin & j-hope, V & Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, *V*]
Running
Falling again
Get myself up
Falling down, oh
Would you give me your hand
How many times it will happen
If you are tired, you can rest awhile
(Oh, oh, oh)
I'm always here, waiting for you
*Daydreamin' 'bout us facing
Really don't wanna say it, but*

[Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook]
If I never met you
Oh, what am I like, baby
Every time I miss you (Miss you)
Those words that have became a habit
(It's so true)
You're my best friend
For the rest of my life
I wish I could turn back time

[Jimin, Jin, V]
When everything was easy at that time (At that time)
I should've told you more (Told you)
I'll be with you
For the rest of my life, ooh, ooh, yeah
Rest of my life
