N.O
Bangtan Boys (BTS) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Seoul to the sky, 부모님은 정말 행복해질까?
꿈 없어졌지
숨 쉴 틈도 없이
학교와 집 아니면 피씨방이 다인 쳇바퀴
같은 삶들을 살며 일등을 강요
받는 학생은 꿈과 현실 사이의 이중간첩
일등이 아니면 낙오로 구분
짓게 만든 건 틀에 가둔 건 어른이란 걸 쉽게 수긍
할 수밖에 단순하게 생각해도 약육강식 아래
친한 친구도 밟고 올라서게 만든 게 누구라 생각해 what?
어른들은 내게 말하지 힘든 건 지금뿐이라고
조금 더 참으라고 나중에 하라고
Everybody say NO!
더는 나중이란 말로 안돼
더는 남의 꿈에 갇혀 살지 마
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
Everybody say NO!
정말 지금이 아니면 안돼
아직 아무것도 해본 게 없잖아
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
Everybody say NO!
좋은 집 좋은 차 그런 게 행복일 수 있을까?
In Seoul to the sky, 부모님은 정말 행복해질까?
놀고 먹고 싶어
교복 찢고 싶어
Make money good money
벌써 삐딱한 시선
막연함뿐인 통장 내 불행은 한도초과지
공부하는 한숨 공장 계속되는 돌려막기
어른들이 하는 고백 너넨 참 편한 거래
분에 넘치게 행복한 거래 그럼 이렇게도 불행한 나는 뭔데
공부 외엔 대화주제가 없어 밖엔 나 같은 애가 넘쳐
똑같은 꼭두각시 인생 도대체 누가 책임져줘?
어른들은 내게 말하지 힘든 건 지금뿐이라고
조금 더 참으라고 나중에 하라고
Everybody say NO!
더는 나중이란 말로 안돼
더는 남의 꿈에 갇혀 살지 마
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
Everybody say NO!
정말 지금이 아니면 안돼
아직 아무것도 해본 게 없잖아
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!

In Seoul, to the sky, will my parents truly be happy?
꿈 없어졌지
I lost my dreams
숨 쉴 틈도 없이
Without even a moment to breathe
학교와 집 아니면 피씨방이 다인 쳇바퀴
Either school, home, or a PC cafe, it's a never-ending cycle
같은 삶들을 살며 일등을 강요
Forcing us to be the best, living the same life
받는 학생은 꿈과 현실 사이의 이중간첩
The receiving student is a double agent between dreams and reality
우릴 공부하는 기계로 만든 건 누구?
Who made us into studying machines?
일등이 아니면 낙오로 구분
If you're not first, you're eliminated
짓게 만든 건 틀에 가둔 건 어른이란 걸 쉽게 수긍
It's easy to accept that the adults made us this way, confined us to a frame
할 수밖에 단순하게 생각해도 약육강식 아래
Even if we think simply, it's survival of the fittest
친한 친구도 밟고 올라서게 만든 게 누구라 생각해 what?
Who do you think made even close friends step on one another and climb up the ladder?
어른들은 내게 말하지 힘든 건 지금뿐이라고
Adults tell me I just have to endure this for the time being
조금 더 참으라고 나중에 하라고
They tell me to endure a little more and do it later
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
더는 나중이란 말로 안돼
I can't keep saying 'later'
더는 남의 꿈에 갇혀 살지 마
I can't keep living trapped in someone else's dream
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
We roll (We roll) We roll (We roll) We roll
아직 아무것도 해본 게 없잖아
I haven't tried anything yet
놀고 먹고 싶어
I want to play and eat
교복 찢고 싶어
I want to rip off my uniform
Make money good money
Make money, good money
벌써 삐딱한 시선
I'm already getting judgmental glares
막연함뿐인 통장 내 불행은 한도초과지
I'm only left with vagueness in my account, my unhappiness exceeding the limit
공부하는 한숨 공장 계속되는 돌려막기
A factory that produces sighs from studying and an endless repeat
어른들이 하는 고백 너넨 참 편한 거래
Adults confessing, it's such an easy deal for you
분에 넘치게 행복한 거래 그럼 이렇게도 불행한 나는 뭔데
Overflowing with joy, what am I, who is still unhappy then?
공부 외엔 대화주제가 없어 밖엔 나 같은 애가 넘쳐
There is no topic of conversation besides studying, and outside is overflowing with someone like me
똑같은 꼭두각시 인생 도대체 누가 책임져줘?
Who's responsible for this same puppet-like life?
정말 지금이 아니면 안돼
It has to happen right now
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!
Everybody say NO!

Remember: they are not saying not to study at all, they are saying to follow your dreams choose what YOU want to study not what your parents WANT YOU to study. If you want to become an artist and not a doctor or a lawyer.

That is what most of BTS songs in the beginning were mostly about
