In the story, the Pied Piper uses his flute to play music that lures rats away, but later ends up luring the children of the village away. BTS use this as a metaphor to describe them and to show the fans they should be more self-aware about how much they indulge in BTS – it’s fine if they’re luring the rats (negative or bad thoughts / things in your life) away but when it becomes too much, they begin to lure you (the children) away from your responsibilities, and you should take a step back and know when to stop.

BTS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

나쁜 거라 더 좋은 거야
속으론 알고 있잖아
이젠 멈춰지지 않는 거야 (you can't stop)
좀 더 솔직해져 봐

Stop 이제 그만 보고 시험공부 해 (공부해)
니 부모님과 부장님 날 미워해 (미워해)
봤던 영상, 각종 사진, 트위터, 브이앱

'본보야지' 알아, 좋은 걸 어떡해?
그만해, 뮤비는 나중에 해석하고
어차피 내 사진 니 방에도 많잖어
한 시간이 뭐야, 일이년을 순삭해
이 노랜 내가 네게 주는 상, 착해

벌 받는 건 아니잖아
이리 와, 난 너의 paradise (paradise)
Can't close your eyes
(Can't close your eyes)
발버둥쳐봐도 더는 소용없을걸
(날 거부하지 마)
그냥 눈을 감고 귀 기울여봐

피리소릴 따라와, 이 노래를 따라와
조금 위험해도 나 참 달잖아
널 구하러 온 거야, 널 망치러 온 거야
니가 날 부른 거야, 봐, 달잖아, 피리소릴 따라와

(Ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
(Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
(Ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
I'm takin' over you

(Ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
(Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
(Ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
I'm takin' over you (you, you, you)

이미 시작된 걸 알잖아
그 소릴 듣게 된 순간

(Yeah, SUGA)
어쩌면 그래, 나는 조금 위험해 ha 조금 위험해 ha
널 이끄는 피리 부는 사나이처럼
나는 너를 시험해 ha 너를 시험해 ha
알면서도 이끌리는 선악과처럼

내 피리는 모든 걸 깨워
그 소린 널 애태워
더 이끌려 반응하는 너
난 끊임없이 숨을 불어내 huh
난 너의 guilty pleasure
헤어 나올 순 없어 never

벌 받는 건 아니잖아
이리 와, 난 너의 paradise (paradise)
Can't close your eyes
(Can't close your eyes)
발버둥 쳐봐도 더는 소용없을걸
(날 거부하지 마)
그냥 눈을 감고 귀 기울여봐

피리소릴 따라와, 이 노래를 따라와
조금 위험해도 나 참 달잖아
널 구하러 온 거야, 널 망치러 온 거야
니가 날 부른 거야, 봐, 달잖아

그래, 내가 좀 위험해 (ooh-ooh)
나도 나를 감당 못해 (ooh-ooh-ooh)
걱정 마, 나의 손은 너에게만 따뜻해, 따뜻해

만약에 내가 널 (ooh-ooh)
망치고 있는 거라면 (ooh-ooh-ooh)
나를 용서해줄래?
넌 나 없인 못 사니까, 다 아니까

(Ooh, oh-ooh-whoa)
