The Truth Untold
BTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

외로움이 가득히
피어있는 이 garden
가시투성이 umm
이 모래성에 난 날 매었어

너의 이름은 뭔지
갈 곳이 있긴 한지
Oh, could you tell me? Ooh
이 정원에 숨어든 널 봤어

And I know 너의 온긴
모두 다 진짜란 걸
푸른 꽃을 꺾는 손
잡고 싶지만

내 운명인 걸
Don't smile on me
Light on me
너에게 다가설 수 없으니까
내겐 불러줄 이름이 없어

You know that I can't
Show you me
Give you me
초라한 모습 보여줄 순 없어
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가
But I still want you

외로움의 정원에
핀 너를 닮은 꽃
주고 싶었지 ooh-hoo-hoo
바보 같은 가면을 벗고서

But I know
영원히 그럴 수는 없는 걸
숨어야만 하는 걸
추한 나니까

난 두려운 걸
초라해
I'm so afraid
결국엔 너도 날 또 떠나버릴까
또 가면을 쓰고 널 만나러 가

할 수 있는 건
정원에
이 세상에
예쁜 너를 닮은 꽃을 피운 다음
니가 아는 나로 숨 쉬는 것
But I still want you, hah, hah
I still want you, hah

어쩌면 그때
조금만
이만큼만
용길 내서 너의 앞에 섰더라면
지금 모든 건 달라졌을까?

난 울고 있어 (ooh-ooh-whoa)
사라진
무너진
홀로 남겨진 이 모래성에서
부서진 가면을 바라보면서
And I still want you

(But I still want you)




(But I still want you)
And I still want you

Overall Meaning

The Truth Untold is a heart-wrenching ballad by the Korean boy band, BTS. The song touches upon themes of loneliness, pain, and unrequited love. The lyrics speak of a person's desire for someone they cannot have but still yearn for. In the garden of loneliness, they see a flower that resembles their love interest and wants to gift it but they know that they cannot reveal their true identity. They are afraid to show their true selves, so they wear a mask, shielding themselves from the world. Despite their fears, they still long for that person and wonder how things could have been different if they had revealed their true feelings. The song beautifully captures the raw emotions of love and loss that can cut through one's very soul.

Jin was only taken just for his looks.
Jimin starved himself.
V was the last one to be introduced to the world. (as a member)
Jungkook always think that he is wearing a mask.
RM was never supported by his family.
J-hope was very insecure about himself.
Suga suffered through depression and anxiety.
Despite having so many problems and rough times, they saved my life.
Thank you BTS.
THANKS A LOT. I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND FOREVER WILL.



@Grayish0

BTS came from a small company, they started with nothing.

Jin who was casted just because of his looks, Suga who left his family and gambled his education just to do what he really wanted to be,

Namjoon who was never been supported by his parents,

Jimin who thought himself as ugly and fat,

Taehyung whose always been part of BTS but was never showed in any promotions- not until debut,

Hoseok who seemed to always laugh but never felt as an accomplishment to his father and Jungkook who was very shy and have saved his parents at a young age by auditioning to companies.

Remember the days when they were struggling?

They even had to sacrifice and work hard just so they could eat?

They were squeezing themselves into one small apartment and had to take responsibilities- the reason why they wrote the song ‘move’



Those times when Jimin has to starve himself just because people call him fat and ugly.

That one interview where Yoongi said that; it was nice that people listen to their music because Taehyung and Jungkook are good looking.

And he thought that it was at least enough. Do you remember when Hoseok was supposed to be the vocalist and Taehyung the rapper, but he chose to rap instead and learn it because Taehyung wanted to be the vocalist.

It was Taehyungs dream and Hoseok loves his dongsaeng that much he would sacrifice.



Other fanbases were accusing them for plagiarism just because they had the smallest detail whose the same with other big Kpop groups which was actually just a coincidence.

There was a time when Yoongi packed 300 gifts and Letters just to give to their 300 fans who will attend at their mini fan meetings.

So why do people judge them so fastly?

Did you know that Jimin came all the way to Seoul from Busan just to persuade his dreams?

Did you know that Taehyung lived with his grandma for almost half of his life making him innocent from what else is out there in our world?

Did you know that Jungkook set aside his embarrassment just to meet the other's expectations?

Yes, he is the Golden maknae, but he suffers too when he sees his hyungs having a hard time, he cries.

And there was a time when Jimin caught him crying and the reason was that he missed his family.

Jungkook often cries secretly so that his hyungs wouldn’t worry.

Did you know that Jin auditioned to make his mother proud of him and so that his mother had something to brag off to those judgmental neighbors they had.

He worked hard on his vocals yet people called him talentless.

Did you know that Namjoon worked hard just to produce songs yet there was a time when his mother ruined his computer and broke his mike so he could focus on studying?

Did you know Hoseok auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him?

Because he felt he was a disappointment?



Those rookie days where they only listened to the awarding and be amazed by their seniors.

They couldn’t do anything but watch those idols who received the awards.

They were contented.

And now they reached the top and became more successful. From 150 fans to 6mil and counting,

From a small practice room to a bigger one

From a cramped dorm with roommates to a big dorm were they each a room,

From one daesang award to more awards and they’ve even won on BBMA’s.

BTS never expected this before their fourth year anniversary, they’ve come so far- so far that the only chance we have to see them is to go to their concert (NEVER)

meet them along the street with a 0.01% chance.

But really ARMYs!! We’ve come to this far fam, let’s love them and give them our support till the end!

I wanted to thank you all. I love you fam! I love u BTS! Let’s stay together until the end. If you believe in what I’ve said. If you believe in 1!2!3!

Please pin this because a lot of ARMYs don't know about this...
