Outro : Ego
BTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're now going to progress to some steps
Which are a bit more difficult
Ready, set, and begin
Bighit exclusive, exclusive (DJ, please)

Ah 매일 돌아가 본다고
그때의 나로
포기를 선택한 삶으로
날 놓아본다고

But 세상에는 있지
변하지 않는 몇 진실
시간은 앞으로 흐른다는 것
만약은 없단 것

까마득 잊을만하면 생각나 그 시절
악마의 손길과 운명의 recall
궁금해 아직 왜 다시 불렀는지도
매일 ask me, guess it, 채찍, repeat oh
변할 건 없다며 결국 또
걱정을 억지로 잠궈 close
'How much love? How much joy?'
위안을 주며 stay calm, alone

그래 I don't care 전부 내
운명의 선택 so we're here
내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin' (shine)
Keep goin' now (ready, set and begin) (ho!)

그 길로 길로 길로
Wherever my way
오직 ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

문득 스쳐 가는 J-Hope이 아닌 정호석의 삶
희망이란 없고 후회만 가득했겠지 'til I die
내 춤은 뜬구름을 잡을 뿐
나의 꿈을 탓하고 살아 숨 쉬는 거에 의문을
Oh my God, God, God, God

Uh, time goes by
7년의 걱정이 드디어 입 밖으로
모두 해소되는 핍박
가장 믿던 그들의 답은 내 심장으로
'하나뿐인 hope 하나뿐인 soul'
'하나뿐인 smile 하나뿐인 너'
세상 그 진실에 확실해진 답
변하지 않는 그 어떤 나 right

이젠 I don't care 전부 내
운명의 선택 so we're here
내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin' (shine)
Keep goin' now (ready, set and begin) (ho!)

그 길로 길로 길로
Wherever my way
오직 ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

믿는 대로 가는 대로 (그 길로 길로 길로)
운명이 됐고 중심이 됐어 (wherever my way)
힘든 대로 또 슬픈 대로 (오직 ego, ego, ego)
위로가 됐고 날 알게 해줬어 (just trust myself)

Map of the soul
Map of the all
That's my ego
That's my ego

Map of the soul
Map of the all




That's my ego
That's my ego

Line by Line Meaning

We're now going to progress to some steps
We're about to take on some challenges


Which are a bit more difficult
These challenges will be harder than before


Ready, set, and begin
Let's go, start now


Bighit exclusive, exclusive (DJ, please)
This is a Bighit exclusive track


Ah, every day, I look back
Every day, I think about the past


To the me of that time
To how I used to be


To the life I chose to give up on
To the life that I decided not to pursue


I release myself
I let go of those regrets


But in this world, there are a few truths
Despite that, there are some things that never change


Time keeps moving forward
Time never stops, it always moves forward


If there's anything that doesn't exist
If something doesn't exist


I'll remember it when it's almost forgotten
I'll think of it when I almost forget it


The touch of the devil and the recall of destiny
The painful memories of the past


I'm curious why you called me again
I wonder why I keep being reminded of them


Every day, ask me, guess it
Every day, I try to figure it out


Whip, repeat, oh
I keep at it until I figure it out


No matter what changes, in the end
No matter what happens, in the end


I forcibly lock away my worries and close
I try to push away my worries and cope with things


How much love? How much joy?
How much can I love? How much can I feel joy?


Providing comfort, stay calm alone
I try to find solace and stay calm by myself


That's right, I don't care, it's all me
That's right, I don't care what others say, it's all about me


The choice of destiny, so we're here
I chose this path and here we are now


Look straight ahead, the way is shining (shine)
Look ahead, the path is bright and promising


Keep goin' now, (ready, set, and begin) (ho!)
Keep moving forward and start taking on challenges


On that path, path, path
On this journey


Wherever my way
Wherever my path takes me


Only ego, ego, ego
Only I can trust myself


Suddenly, it's my life, not J-Hope's
I am living my own life, not J-Hope's


There was no hope, only regret 'til I die
I used to feel hopeless and regretful


My dance just grabs the clouds
My dance seems impossible, out of reach


I question why I'm blaming my dreams and living
I doubt if I should be blaming my dreams for my life


Oh my God, God, God, God
Expression of frustration and feeling overwhelmed


Uh, time goes by
Time passes by


After 7 years, my worries are finally spoken
After 7 years, I finally voice my worries


All of the oppression is relieved
All of the burdens are lifted


The answer from those I trusted the most is within me
The answers I need are inside me


There's only one hope, one soul
There's only one thing that matters to me, my soul


One smile, one you
Things that make me happy


I'm sure of the truth of the world now
I know what the world is really like


Who I am never changes
I am still the same person no matter what happens


Now, I don't care about anything, it's all me
Now, I don't care what anyone says, it's all about me


The choice of destiny, so we're here
I chose this path and here we are now


Look straight ahead, the way is shining (shine)
Look ahead, the path is bright and promising


Keep goin' now, (ready, set, and begin) (ho!)
Keep moving forward and start taking on challenges


On that path, path, path
On this journey


Wherever my way
Wherever my path takes me


Only ego, ego, ego
Only I can trust myself


Go on, trust and follow
I will keep moving forward no matter what


It's become destiny, it's become the center
I have embraced this path and made it my identity


Even in hard times, and even in sad ones
No matter what happens, whether good or bad


It became my comfort and made me realize who I am
It made me feel better and helped me become who I am


Map of the soul
The chart of my identity


Map of the all
The guide of everything


That's my ego
That's what defines me


That's my ego
That's what I believe in
