Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad badbye, no goodbye
Bad badbye, no goodbye
Bad badbye, don't say goodbye
Bad badbye, 'cause it's a lie
Bad badbye

Kill me, kill me softly
Kill me, kill me softly
Kill me, kill me softly
날 산산조각 내줘
Kill me, kill me softly (kill me)
Kill me, kill me softly (kill me)
Kill me, kill me softly
날 산산조각 내줘

You and I
Bad try
You and I
And I cry
You know why




I cry
You know why

Overall Meaning

The song "badbye" by RM, the leader of K-pop boy band BTS, and Nell, a Korean indie rock band, is a melancholic track with lyrics that depict a painful separation. The lyrics use a play on words, combining "bad" and "goodbye" to create "badbye". The repetition of the phrase "bad badbye" emphasizes the negativity associated with the separation. The lyrics go on to plead for a painless end, using the metaphor of death to express the desire for a final release from the pain caused by the separation.


The lyrics also express a sense of regret and sadness towards a failed relationship. The lines "you and I, bad try" suggest that the separation was due to some fault on both sides. The repetition of "kill me softly" shows a sense of hopelessness and desperation, as the singer wishes for the pain to end but acknowledges that it can only end with death.


Overall, "badbye" is a poignant portrayal of the painful and difficult process of saying goodbye to a relationship and the accompanying emotions of regret, sadness, and despair.

When I need to cry, I listen to Mono...when I need to smile, I listen to Mono...when I need comfort, I listen to Mono...when I need a break, when I need a rest, when I need an escape, when I need to close my eyes, I listen to Mono... Namjoon's voice is more than enough to calm me down
