BTS feat. Sia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't understand what people are sayin' 어느 장단에 맞춰야 될지
한 발자국 떼면 한 발자국 커지는 shadow
잠에서 눈을 뜬 여긴 또 어디 어쩜 서울 또 New York or Paris
일어나니 휘청이는 몸

Look at my feet, look down 날 닮은 그림자
흔들리는 건 이놈인가 아니면 내 작은 발끝인가
두렵잖을 리 없잖아 다 괜찮을 리 없잖아
그래도 I know 서툴게 I flow 저 까만 바람과 함께 날아

(Hey, na-na-na) 미치지 않으려면 미쳐야 해
(Hey, na-na-na) 나를 다 던져 이 두 쪽 세상에
(Hey, na-na-na) Can't hold me down 'cause you know I'm a fighter
제 발로 들어온 아름다운 감옥 find me and I'm gonna live with ya

(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah
(Eh-oh) I'ma fight, bring the pain, oh, yeah
Rain be pourin', sky keep fallin', every day, oh, na-na-na
(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah

Bring the pain 모두 내 피와 살이 되겠지
Bring the pain, no fear 방법을 알겠으니
작은 것에 breathe 그건 어둠 속 내 산소와 빛
내가 나이게 하는 것들의 힘 넘어져도 다시 일어나 scream

넘어져도 다시 일어나 scream
언제나 우린 그랬으니
설령 내 무릎이 땅에 닿을지언정
파묻히지 않는 이상 그저 그런 해프닝쯤 될 거란 걸

Win no matter what
Win no matter what, win no matter what
네가 뭐라던 누가 뭐라던
I don't give a ugh, I don't give a ugh, I don't give a ugh

(Hey, na-na-na) 미치지 않으려면 미쳐야 해
(Hey, na-na-na) 나를 다 던져 이 두 쪽 세상에
(Hey, na-na-na) Can't hold me down 'cause you know I'm a fighter
제 발로 들어온 아름다운 감옥 find me and I'm gonna live with ya

(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah
(Eh-oh) I'ma fight, bring the pain, oh, yeah
Rain be pourin', sky keep fallin', every day, oh, na-na-na
(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah

나의 고통이 있는 곳에
내가 숨 쉬게 하소서
My everythin', my blood and tears
Got no fears, I'm singin', oh

Oh, I'm takin' over
You should know, yeah
Can't hold me down 'cause you know I'm a fighter
깜깜한 심연 속 기꺼이 잠겨 find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya

(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah
(Eh-oh) I'ma fight, bring the pain, oh, yeah
Rain be pourin', sky keep fallin', every day, oh, na-na-na
(Eh-oh) Find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya

(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah
(Eh-oh) I'ma fight, bring the pain, oh, yeah




All that I know is just goin' on and on and on and on
(Eh-oh) I'm alright, bring the pain, oh, yeah
