Moonlight:
The opening makes me so freaking emotional because IT'S BEEN SO LONG :( The entire song really feels like he's just talking.. not specifically to anyone, but just voicing his thoughts, and listening to Yoongi talk is my favourite thing in the entire world.

EVERY SINGLE TIME HE MENTIONS THAT BASEMENT IN NAMSANDONG IT JUST RIPS ME APART.
My favourite parts (read parts that hurt the most) would be
"But I’m still hungry, would this be karma?
The emptiness that I feel after flying fucking high"
and
"I started just because I liked music,
but the adjectives they attach to my name feel too much sometimes"

I also really love how even after all these years, he still uses the "If you think you’re gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot" lyric in Nevermind as a mantra of sorts. I speak for myself and Jimin when I say, same Yoongi, same.

AAAAAH THIS SONG IS SUCH A BANGER AND I HAVE NO WORDS OTHER THAN, MIN YOONGI YOU ARE MY KING AND I FIND NOTHING SEXIER THAN YOU PUTTING ASSHOLES IN THIER PLACE, ALL TO A SICK BEAT.
"Who said time is money
My time is more expensive"
MY MAN SPITTING NOTHING BUT FACTS.

What do you think:
Whoever wronged Yoongi or Bangtan in the past, I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING. I love how Yoongi is always so calm and patient, but he's also so fiercely protective of his members that he's not afraid to speak up for them when he has the freedom to do so under Agust D

OOOOF NAMGI'S MINDS. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I LOVE HOW BOTH OF THEM ARE SO DIFFERENT ON HOW THEY LOOK AT THE WORLD AND I LOVEEE THAT WE CAN SEE BOTH OF THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON THE DOWNSIDES OF CAPITALISM AND HOW YOONGI'S TAKE IS SO YOONGI AND JOON'S TAKE IS SO JOON AAAAAH.

Also I will never shut up about how much I admire Bangtan for using their platform to address so many topics that are often never talked about..
The line "Capital injects morphine called hope with dream as collateral" is just PURE GENIUS, I love my anti-capitalist intellectuals.

OHHH. MY GOD. Wow this song just SPEAKS TO ME. I used to be so freaking ambitious back in school, and I pretty much ended up achieving every goal I had set for myself, but everything went completely downhill since I started work.. I feel like I'm no longer chasing something +

and I've lost every ounce of the drive I used to have to keep going and achieve anything because I no longer have a dream or a passion.. I beat myself up so much for not moving forward, and I can no longer spend any of my free time without worrying or drowning in guilt
"For just one day, without any concerns,
for just one day, without any worries,
to live, to live, to live"
"I can’t remember
What are the things that I hoped for
Now I’m scared
Where did the fragments of my dream go"
I swear it feels like he's looking right into my soul.
for just one day, without any worries,
to live, to live, to live"

What are the things that I hoped for

Burn It:
This song is SUCH A BOP OMG. I feel like I'll come back to this on days when I try and fail, and all I want to do is forget and let go. Also, thank you Yoongi, for this line:
"I hope you don’t forget that giving up decisively also counts as courage"

People:
Oh gosh this song portrays Yoongi's outlook towards life so beautifully. I love how he's accepted change, how nothing lasts forever, how we all have bad days, how things may not go as planned, but it's okay, that's life, and it's all good, no matter how ordinary.

Honsool:
This is just such an honest confession of his fears, and his coping mechanisms to deal with his struggle with fame and loneliness, and it just pains me so much to listen to it. I have mad respect for him for being so vulnerable and laying his soul bare in front of us.

Interlude: Set me free
It has such a melancholy and eerie feel to it.. I can't really put it to words.. it's just a feeling

Dear my friend:
This is probably the most personal song on an immensely personal album. Listening to this just makes me want to go hug him. There's nothing harder than watching a loved one go down the wrong path and being helpless, unable to stop everything from happening..

Even if you did everything you could to help, you'd still end up blaming yourself and dwelling on memories from the past, thinking of what you could have done differently.. and no matter how much they harm you, you find yourself missing them and wishing things were different..
This song must have been so incredibly hard for him to write, and it hurts SO MUCH to know what he went through, and I only hope for happier days for him. I wish I could return to him, at least an ounce of all the comfort he has brought me :(
Okay. End of thread. I feel so drained emotionally. I feel like anything I say will just fall short of how I actually feel. Min Yoongi, you're the only one in the world, the only one in the world. I love you.
