Seesaw talks about a toxic relationship where neither of them wants to back out because they donât want to be the âbad guy,â hence the relationship is nothing but a repeating seesaw game and boy do I felt that
In the first part of the song, he talks about how the beginning was fun like every relationship should be. Theyâre fine with the âups and downsâ which probably means the good and the bad times of their relationship, but itâs getting tiring.
He realises he canât do this any longer so like everyone else, he starts to wonder where it went wrong. Heâs tired of this seesaw game and knows one of them needs to leave but they canât, or they wonât.
Theyâre hurting each other, they want it to end on good terms but neither of them wants to be the âjerkâ
He starts to reminisce their relationship, how happy they were in the beginning but now itâs like theyâre âcompeting against each otherâ and itâs getting toxic. Their words of comfort is fake and they both know it.
In this part, it is also possible that they donât want to leave bcs they still care about the other person but their relationship, âthis seesaw gameâ is dangerous so itâs time to be selfish. Yoongi is asking them to be selfish.
