Overall Meaning

The song "Sea" by BTS is a reflection on the uncertainties and trials of life. The lyrics describe the ocean as a metaphor for life and the desert as a metaphor for hopelessness. The song explores the theme of hope and how it can exist in even the most difficult of circumstances. The lyrics express the idea that no matter what challenges one may face, there is always hope and that having a positive attitude can help one overcome obstacles.

The beginning of the song includes the lyrics, "I don't know, I don't know, if I feel the waves right now, if I’m still being chased by the sandstorms." This shows the uncertainty that the artist is feeling about the current state of their life. The continuous repetition of "I don't know" emphasizes the confusion the artist feels about their life; they're unsure of whether they're in the ocean or the desert, whether they're hopeful or in despair. However, the lyrics soon change to emphasize that even in the midst of difficulties, there is hope.

The theme of hope is evident in the chorus, "Where there is hope, there is always trials." This implies that hope and difficulties go hand in hand, and that hope is often strengthened through hardship. Moreover, the lyrics suggest that it is necessary to experience hardships to truly appreciate and embrace hope. The song ends on a positive note, reinforcing the importance of perseverance and a positive attitude. The lyrics state that even in the midst of despair, they will not give up, and continue with the phrase “we must despair for every single trial."

더 우울해야지 뭐
I guess I should be more depressed, right?

우린 절망해야해 그 모든 시련을 위해
We must despair for all of our hardships

There’s such a mature level of thought in this song.
RM’s verse: After all our hard work we reached our goal… but it wasn’t as life giving and fulfilling as we thought it would be.
J-Hope: Now we’re just confused about whether we even reached it at all, even as we try and look on the bright side.
Suga’s verse: It’s not that we ‘arrived’ at our goal, but we created it with our blood, sweat and tears. But that means that if we stop working, it will all go away again.
RM: Maybe no one ever ‘arrives’ and it’s all part of the same journey of life.

and then the vocal line passing the chorus line between them, like they’re all in agreement: ‘if we didn’t hope for something we wouldn’t experience suffering over it. But the hard things we go through are also a sign that we are still hopeful, still trying.’
V’s outro: but it has been hard, so we should take a moment to acknowledge it before we move on to what comes next.

For them to record that together, at the point where they’d finally started to achieve real fame, is really wise and introspective. It’s relevant to so many situations in life. No wonder it’s such a meaningful song to people.

And for it to end up in the album too, that BigHit let them give that commentary on their feelings publicly … It always impresses me.

it's been so long since I've heard this song.

I'm about to plunge into adulthood, and it's horrifying, how fast everything is going. I feel as though I'm being left behind, trying so hard to preserve my innocent childlike interests and my happiness.

And this song finds me. In the midst of all my pain and struggles. This song is kind of like a reminder for me; to take my time. To take things slow. To find myself amidst the noisy world.

Like the gentle sway of the ocean's waves, this will pass. It's not the end.

Thank you, BTS. For showing me how to love myself, for being a beacon of light amidst my cloudy mind. I am eternally grateful for all of you.

"Where there is hope, there is always hardship. We need to be in despair, for all our hardships." (Thank you BTS, for reminding me.)

They said "the reason Sea is a hidden track, according to Namjoon, is so that if anyone really needs this song in their life, fate will guide them to it at the perfect time". And here I am, again, after 4 years, seeking solitary, strength, support and understanding of everything through this song.

i parted ways with bts a long time ago.. simply because they introduced me to a new world and culture of artists and because both bts, and myself, grew up in our own ways. but i will always, i repeat, always come back to this song because it holds such a special place in my heart. nothing but respect and gratefulness for bts and the impact they have made on my life. from finding out my passions and who my true friends are, bts were somehow always in that story.

i am now 20 and onto a new journey of my life. i discovered bts when i was 12. it's been a long time. and i will always have them in my heart because i spent my adolescent years with them. now, as an adult, i listen to this song, i think back to all the memories and joy these boys give me. i long for those years of youth, but i am proud and satisfied with who i've become today.

so, thank you bts. thank you for being a part of the voyage of finding my true self.

나는 42세에 방탄을 만났어요. 그때 너무 힘든시기였는데 이노래가 위로가 되었죠. 힘든시기 모든걸 포기하고 싶었을때 이 시련이 희망일 수 있다는걸 생각했어요.
희망이 있는 곳에 반드시 절망이있네!!!
어떤 종교도 나에게 줄수 없는 희망을 주었답니다.
어린시절 추억이 생각나는 행복을 주었다면 나이들 수록 방탄 노래는 당신에게 힘을 줄거에요. 힘들때 방탄에게 오세요. 많은 아미들이 타니들과 함께 기다려 줄 거예요

Thisssss….!!!
Honestly after they decided to take a break as a group. I felt like I parted ways with BTS as a whole as well. I discovered BTS during Persona era which was 2019. It was 3 years ago almost 4. I fell in love with their music, passion talent etc. I was 20 by then. Now I’m 24 and I think I really learned to appreciate and respect them so much over the course of their career. Even though now I don’t always focus on BTS all the time unlike back then, they will always have a place in my heart !! Their music will live forever ~~

I have celebrated a year since my last failed attempt. 10/15/21 to be exact. I also became army 10/15/21. That same night I was about to, my friend asked me to come over. They asked me if I ever heard BTS. I went from being determined to spending hours till around 3am listening to their music, runs, and compilations. It was my first time I laughed so hard. I was grasping at straws. I was trying so hard. And the fact that their message is to love oneself. They really helped me out of the hole and they will never know just how much I appreciate them.

The fact that BTS prevented so many suicide attempts through their songs is so admirable. Today, many of us ARMY can breath in this world because BTS taught us to love ourselves.

Lover these guys for what they are 💜🌍🎧 our purple world will stay forever. I am 16 rn and going to be 17 on 2 may 2023 I feel so lost these days I don't get what I feel but these guys and their music always comforts me I would cry if I said more love is really a small and overrated word what we (I) have with them is a beautiful connection that is more than these four letters.

Joined ARMY in the same month (07/23) and I discovered this song through music hive! I avoided it up until today since downloading the game 2-3 weeks ago and I think I bit the bullet when I needed it most. The past 3 years haven’t been the greatest for me mentally/socially and last month was truly the icing on the cake of my hell, but these past few months, these boys have been saving me❤️ I cannot wait to see them come back in full swing in 2025 and I’m hoping to be up there in the front row come next tour! I wish I had given K-pop a chance back in middle school instead of criticizing those who liked it because I wouldn’t be who I am today at 20, without my Bangtan Boys💜🤍 I never thought 7 boys would change my life for the better and I will always be grateful for it🥹❤️

I'm reading the comments and realizing this track really is fate. I'm actually crying right now. I've been feeling depressed for a long time now but have been feeling extra depressed and lonely lately. BTS has always helped me with my depression and I feel like this really is fate that I have found this song. 💜
I don't care if you love BTS or can't vibe with their music, but you can't deny their amazing human beings

This song always finds me when I need it, I've been with bts since I was 16, I'm 21 now and I have no idea what I would be like without their influence. From the time during school when I had a class that stressed me out so badly I wanted to die to the time where I was beginning to get lost again to today where I find myself struggling to move forward, this song has been there for me. "Where there is hope there are trials" will remain a special phrase to me always.

I first heard this song in 2017 when I first became army but didn't really feel so much for it because I was much younger. Now, 6 years later, this song is what comforts me when I feel like I'm going down a spiral of unhappiness. It's really funny how a single song can you make you feel more comfort than anyone around you. Thank you for guiding me here bangtan, I wish to see the happy days soon.

I felt such overwhelming emotions listening to 'Sea' that I don't know how to describe it. Right now, I feel like I'm just stuck while everyone else is moving ahead. But it's like BTS are always right by my side, no matter what. I'm so grateful that I have found them but sometimes I wonder what if I grow apart from them? I could never imagine it happening, but anything can change. All I know, is that they will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you BTS. Thank you for your music and helping me become who I am today.

@Absyflabsy

Back in 2017-2018 I felt that way too, sometimes I still do, it’s certainly tough but what you’ve got to remember is everyone is on a different path. I’m only 23 and I still work part-time and at university, while others are exploring the world, getting married, getting better jobs. But, we are here, on this planet, together. Time is only just that, time. Spending your time worrying and getting upset about it is fine, but give yourself time to be true to you, sit down and read a book, or listen to music by yourself. Not being on your phone, spend a least an hour off the phone, I only say that because that’s where we compare ourselves.

You’ve got it in you to be you, and BTS are an outlet for your emotions. They’re showing you that they’ve felt their hardships but you’ve got to work through it to make you get unstuck. You’ve found this song when you needed it most, come back every once in a while until slowly you find yourself listening to it for the memories, recognising your hardships and how you’ve come out of that.

You may outgrow them and that’s okay, don’t feel guilty. For example, my dad loves Queen, and would listen all the time, but as he grew older he wasn’t constantly listening to it, but when I play a song of theirs he picks out memories, sings their song and feels the love that he had/has for Queen. Just because you stop keeping up to date doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown them, you’re just focusing on yourself ❤️

Bit of an essay I know, but I saw your comment when I was just about to go to bed, and I felt inclined to comment.

@pluto-roid

40w↑1

@@AbiVid I definitely agree with you. I'm trying to remind myself to go at a pace which suits me and to most importantly, take care of myself. Like you said, I'm sure that this song will serve as a memory for me in the future. And even right now, I'm not fully up to date with what's going on, but that's okay. Because it doesn't take away any of my appreciation for them or make me any less of a fan.

I also didn't think that anyone would see this comment, so thank you for taking your time to express your thoughts :)

I found this song when i really needed it her the most, "i guess fate guide this song to me at the perfect time", even though I've known BTS and I'm an ARMY since 2016, but it was meant for me to find this song right now at this moment in this specific year, it took me so long but eventually I found her when I really needed it her the most and now I understand the feeling that I have felt cause I'm an adult now and I know what it feels like specially with what I've been through in my life, and my first reaction hearing the song was crying, i couldn't stop myself from crying, i felt a lot of things, emotions, feelings, memories at the same time some of them beautiful and some of them sad, this song is like an escape to me now and this song is one of the masterpieces songs that they have I'm so happy right now cause I've found myself and that i love myself more than ever thanks to them, and I'm so lucky that I've been a fan of them since 2016, and that I've found them at that age
So to every army listen to this MASTERPIECE for the first time I'm so happy for you don't be hard on your self form now on and always love yourself, be confident about yourself, and speak yourself, don't wait for anyone to do that to you, and remember "People come and go but the right one stays", always think about yourself first there is nothing wrong with that, cause not everyone is like you, and don't expect a lot from humans in order to avoid blaming yourself

you’re right, this is a great overview and lyrical representation to new armys of what they had to go through during their rough debut days and what they think of it now as the most successful kpop group in the world. all of that yet the song is not only talking about themselves, also anyone who is going through hardship as a sign that things will get better overtime if you work with your all, like a “trust us, we’ve been there,” type of thing. truly is able to help fans appreciate so much more of what bts has and will offer.

Their discography is so extensive that you could literally find yourself listening to only “THEM”!

Literally me. I listen and download only their songs, as for kpop. No offense to other idols, I support them and all but just BTS songs for me

Exactly and feel like you are listening to different people. How cool.

Exactly. Like I try to listen to others too but don't even get a tiny feelings I do when I listen to BTS songs. That made me come into conclusion that BTS is just for me

Exactly. They have so many songs of different genres that I literally don't need to listen to other artists to find songs that fit my mood. Including solo works, they have like more than 400 songs. Most of the time I'm either listening to them, their solo stuff or some hiphop.
