Louder than bombs
BTS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

이젠 너무 선명해졌어
저 환호 속의 낯선 그림자
아마 다신 믿을 수 없을
좋은 것만 보고 듣잔 말

고요한 너의 슬픔이
나를 흔들어
조용한 나의 바다에

파도가 일곤 해

Louder than bombs I break (ah-ah-ah)
쏟아지는 아픔들 (ah-ah-ah)
니가 지었던 그 표정이
그 표정이 아니란 걸 안 그때부터
Louder than bombs I break (ah-ah-ah-ah)

Baby, I'm nothin'er than nothin'
Brighter than the light
Don't you want a thing from me (oh)
But you say I'm somethin'er than somethin'
Brighter than the light
Don't you give up your life (oh)
Here I stay, pray
Just for better days
Everyday's a maze
Wonder if this is my place (yeah)

Where's my way?
계속 흔들리는 ground
홀로 무너지는 중 mute
Louder than bombs, yeah
I want to tell you 어둠은 말야
어디라도 있단 걸, 두려워 말아
어떤 밤이 날 삼켜도 난 포기하진 않아
널 위한 fight, we'll shine

너와 난 다 함께 느껴
슬픔과 고통
우연한 게 절대 아냐
Yeah, we picked this game

Louder than bombs I say (ah-ah-ah)
세상 앞에 말할게 (ah-ah-ah)
너를 외면했던 시간
자꾸 도망쳤던 나날 이제 더는 없어
Louder than bombs I say (ah-ah-ah-ah)

사람들은 뭐 (사람들은 뭐)
우리가 부럽대 (우리가 부럽대)
내가 가진 pain (내가 가진 pain)
위선이라고 해 (위선이라고 해)
No matter what I do (no matter what I do)
똥밭에 구르네 (똥밭에 구르네)
우리가 아니면 그래
누가 할 건데?

사람들은 뭐, 우리가 부럽대
내가 가진 pain 위선이라고 해
No matter what I do 똥밭에 구르네
우리가 아니면 그래
누가 할 건데?

Louder than bombs I sing (ah-ah-ah)
너와 내게 약속해 yeah (ah-ah-ah)
어떤 파도가 덮쳐도

우린 끝없이 널 향해 노래할 거라고
Louder than bombs I sing (ah-ah-ah-ah)
