mostly lyrics since i'm not an expert in music production, but I might stray
i'll be using doolsets translations! https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/d-2/
Track 1. ์ ๋ฌ (Moonlight)
I'll start with the last line

incredibly introspective piece, talking about where he came from, where he is now, but the moon that shines on him back then is still the same. It seems to be an unwavering promise to himself to never truly change as a person, and I see it as a recurring theme throughout D-2

โThe monster, my success earned at the cost of my youth, wants greater wealth. The greed that used to be my weapon now swallows me, ruins me, and puts a leash around my neck.โ because it's not only the public putting insurmountable pressure on him, it's echoed by himself
the repetition of "what can I do," obviously emphasises that feeling of helplessness, but in this context it also feels like floating (?), not necessarily negative, but more like a "it is how it is" kind of vibe that accepts the good and the bad, absorbs it, and keeps going
ah one of my favourite lines "If you think youโre gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot" and it seems like referencing his past work also serves several purposes, a) for the message of the line itself b) to show how his thinking reflects the yoongi of back then and +
c) to remind people of his growth, he's changed and that's an undeniable fact but he hasn't strayed far from himself.
Track 2. ๋์ทจํ (Daechwita)

went mad, committed atrocious acts, and was trapped in a rice chest by said father to starve to death. I get a sense of desperation with k*illing his past rather than merely burying it, like taking matters into his own hands and actively destroying what was with what is

"my past is a part of me, it's still who I am, but not to the same extent," and I wonder if this is specifically the more sharpened tongue of the persona of agust d or if i've gravely misinterpreted his previous lyrics. either way the entire vibe of daechwita is much more cocky
and now we get into the part of the song that makes me really laugh because of how it's not directly aimed at anyone, but folks decided to push *certain artists* into the line of fire. Yoongi goes on to describe failures, insecurities, the faults of incompetent abilities etc.
Tic tok ์ ๋น์๋ผ๋ค
Tic tok, you bastards with a stick up your ass,
doolset kindly tells us that ์ ๋น (seonbi) these days is slang that describes someone whoโs "always serious, ethically conservative, not fun, and inclined to make objections about other peopleโs opinions."

and i'm not even gonna comment on **** and tiktok but I do believe that to be an exception to the "not targeted" trend, quite a pointed message.

voicing their biased views." and those two lines seem to go hand in hand
personally i'd like to believe that yoongi said fuck conservatives and would spit on any republicans he comes across, but that's just me

have been on this ongoing rocketing path to overwhelming stardom, and from the documentaries and the little things we've seen, they've never had a pause aside from that short break where they were STILL hounded and reminded of the eyes watching them. when yoongi talks about +
getting what he's wanted, money, clothes, big cars and big rings, so whats next? How long is he to keep looking up until they can finally place feet on solid ground. Ambition spurs action and action brings achievements and achievements bring expectations and the cycle continues
the way Yoongi addresses where he is now in the grand scheme of his life so far really brings me this feeling of melancholy that contrasts entirely with the tone (?) of the song; it's aggressive, it's confrontational but it reminds me of a hard exterior protecting vulnerabilities
