The title Mikrokosmos references the ancient Greek philosophy of microcosm, the perception of viewing humans as their own little world or mikros kosmos. Humans are observed in relation to the universe, and, when the universe was first studied, kosmos translated closer to the modern ideal of order. In a broader sense, microcosm studies the harmonious relationship of each individual in parallel to everything else, which continues BTS' narrative of self discovery and persona.
The concept of “little universes” unique to each individual has been around since 2018, during the era of Love Yourself 結 ‘Answer.’

깜빡이는 불 켜진 건물
우린 빛나고 있네
각자의 방, 각자의 별에서 (eh-oh)
어떤 빛은 야망
어떤 빛은 방황
사람들의 불빛들
어두운 밤 (외로워 마)
별처럼 다 (우린 빛나)
사라지지 마
큰 존재니까
Let us shine
어쩜 이 밤의 표정이 이토록 또 아름다운 건
Oh 저 별들도 불빛도 아닌 우리 때문일 거야
You got me
난 너를 보며 꿈을 꿔
I got you
칠흑 같던 밤들 속
서로가 본 서로의 빛
같은 말을 하고 있었던 거야 우린
가장 깊은 밤에 더 빛나는 별빛
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
가장 깊은 밤에 더 빛나는 별빛
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
밤이 깊을수록 더 빛나는 별빛
한 사람에 하나의 역사
한 사람에 하나의 별
70억 개의 빛으로 빛나는
70억 가지의 world
70억 가지의 삶, 도시의 야경은
어쩌면 또 다른 도시의 밤
각자만의 꿈 let us shine
넌 누구보다 밝게 빛나
One
어쩜 이 밤의 표정이 이토록 또 아름다운 건
Oh 저 어둠도 달빛도 아닌 우리 때문일 거야
You got me
난 너를 보며 꿈을 꿔
I got you
칠흑 같던 밤들 속
서로가 본 서로의 빛
같은 말을 하고 있었던 거야 우린
가장 깊은 밤에 더 빛나는 별빛
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
가장 깊은 밤에 더 빛나는 별빛
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
밤이 깊을수록 더 빛나는 별빛
도시의 불, 이 도시의 별
어릴 적 올려본 밤하늘을 난 떠올려
사람이란 불, 사람이란 별로 가득한 바로 이곳에서
We shinin'
You got me
난 너를 보며 숨을 쉬어
I got you
칠흑 같던 밤들 속에 (yeah)
Shine, dream, smile (yeah)
Oh, let us light up the night
우린 우리대로 빛나
Shine, dream, smile
Oh, let us light up the night
우리 그 자체로 빛나

The lyrics of BTS's song Mikrokosmos celebrate the beauty in the small things in life that make up our universe. The song starts by describing the twinkling starlight and lights of buildings that shine brightly, making us all shine in our individual ways. The next verse talks about the different kinds of light that exist: some representing ambition, while others represent the sense of being lost in life. Each light, whether it is ours or other people's, is precious and unique. The chorus emphasizes the brightness that exists within us all, encouraging us to let our light shine, even on the darkest nights.
The song's bridge emphasizes the beauty of the night, suggesting that even the mysterious and unknown parts of life can be beautiful due to our existence. The lyrics continue to portray the idea of people being like stars, each with their own history and light, shining in our own ways to create a beautiful cityscape. The song concludes by stating that, even in the darkest or hardest moments, our individual and collective light can shine brighter and guide us through.
