Bts's prominent work in songwriting, their distinguished lyricism,versatility & outstanding input in music :
- an appreciation thread -

namjoon has a strong talent for writing lyrics, for example when he was speaking about how he wrote spring day - he sat in a park and saw leaves falling. and that inspired him to finish spring day's lyrics AND melody in just 2 days

A breakdown of namjoon's Persona

What's really interesting is to hear about his perspective of music and how it matters to him the most, he always had an amazing relationship with music,his talents are out of this world he truly understood the assignment

Here is a breakdown of dead leaves and Voice ,both showcases his ability to make very interesting and outstanding word plays,the lyrics are truly inspiring motivating and powerful

and can we please talk about namjoon's versatility too... diss tracks, love songs, songs about social injustice, songs dedicated to armys, everything he writes is equally impactful and he really does it all

Here is a few of his input in music credits, he is always participates a lot in the process of making songs and put is 100% in it wich earns him many records as a talented songwriter

Here is a break down of some of rapline verses to show how versatile and powerful they are when it comes to writing songs where they have a burst out emotions and feelings

Cypher Pt2 :
Namjoon/jhope verses

Suga verse :

Tear holds so much meaning,the lyrics have both tear(as in crying and ripping apart)They were written for the members.When suga was writing the melody, bts were contemplating wether they should quit or not.When they played the song they all cried together

Taehyung emphasises the beauty of the night and makes it feel like such a comfortable space, his lyricism is so poetic. It radiates the feeling to love someone, to be loved by someone. The comfort in his voice and lyricism is everything, he has a thing for the night,stars& moon

taehyung’s lyricism is unmatched, he has such a pretty and beautiful way of phrasing things and talking about love,taehyung’s artistry and creativity deserves an endless amount of praise and love! whether it’s his heartwarming lyricism or comforting melodies or his soulful voice!

the lyrics of Sweet Night is like fine wine; filled with words that contain more healing medicine than all the existing drugs in this world. It's a song that contained Taehyung's pure love.

the lyrics to scenery always get me. he worked so hard on this and it really paid off. taehyung is a genius,he did not only compose the song....he wrote these beautiful lyrics and took such amazing shots for it. he is so incredibly talented

Jimin says promise is written to himself and for ARMY. As you read and interpret the lyrics,keep in mind there are different ways you can take it, you'll notice that its like talking to yourself.Jimin is making a promise with his self, with you&asking u to make one with your self

The lyrics and his words are so well matched: the merriness for Christmas, how adulting takes it away but it's okay to catch a break and be happy, giving us this dash of nostalgia.jimin's songs are captivating with their well-loved melodies, emotive and distinctive

Lie is a masterpiece ,it can mesmerize you with the emotion of the music and the intensity of the lyrics.
Jimin really did his best to write them and it turned out so magnificent

jimin’s raw & absolutely phenomenal vocals singing the disease bridge, he wrote the melody himself in under 3 minutes gotta be one of the hottest things he's ever done

j-hope is an amazing rapper,the way he has progressed since debut is truly incredible,you can see the progression over time as he’s found his own colour and his own style,there’s nobody like him stylistically, korean or not,he has flow lyricism&delivery

Lets talk about blue side This song is so full of longing and beautifully expresses what I can only call the happy/sads where things are ok but they're not ok. Heres a full breakdown of the song

Cns is a fun and groovy song that blends multiple cultures like colors on a canvas. It is intended to be a love letter to diversity, identity, and one’s heritage.J-hope raps bout his connection and his own history with dance

Piece of Peace is oozing with J-Hope’s compassionate words & underscoring the positiveness of BTS' lyrics to offer comforts & hopes, should be an anthem for ARMYs who're trying to find their bearings in life, esp. those weathering through their stormy 20s.

Still With You is just a caress to the soul.The melody, the lyrics, his voice, all the hardwork and layers,the meaning behind the song,the imagery,the vibe and the metaphors..the lyrics are directed to armys but it may refer to jungkook, to his past self and his current self.

Decalcomania means two people who look alike. He wants to be on the screen so people will like him better& he's afraid that if he shows his true self people will leave, jungkook is singing about his idol Being famous has perks but it comes with so many downfalls.

He lost the chance to be an average teen,decalcomania is the process of transferring designs from prepared paper on to glass or porcelain,meaning the song is about himself&how he wishes to be good as on screen,he wants to be who he is portrayed as,perfect.

"Y.e.t is about believing that the future reflected in your eyes will be filled with light even if the world is filled with hardships,some days in life are so dark,you just want to turn your back on everything, but looking into your eyes save me,they're more telling than words"

Yoongi's lyrics tell a story & reveal his soul. They are a hand to hold. They are a warm embrace. They speak to the soul, Honsool is a good one

a reminder that suga doesn't only write diss tracks. he is more than that. he writes lyrics that can give comforts and reassurance. he gives hope for those who were in despair through his music. he makes music that can saves people's lives..eight is a good example

SUGA's lyricism would leave you paralyzed with their rawness and lucidity. His lyrics will make one aware of the challenges one can face while fulfilling their dreams. His lyrics are also meant to comfort and motivate the listeners to achieve their aim.

Shadow is one of my favourites. The lyricism and symbolism is so intricately placed throughout the song and mv while SUGA' s rap was so melodious. This song is truly a masterpiece and shows a raw side of fame nd so much more.

The feeling of total helplessness of not having any goals or dreams to pursue or the inability to get ur feet to move when everyone around you is sprinting, the feeling of absolute emptiness and defeat within yourself is described so beautifully in this

yoongi is so honest & gives away things about his past in his lyrics, even when he doesn't have to; but he trusts us and he knows there's a mutual understanding. this man is so full of love and healing and support. i want to give him a big hug )):

Abyss is just so special and I can relate to it the most,the note clearly explains the feelings jin was experiencing. He was in pain, he felt suffocated by his oppressive thoughts, he felt hopeless and decided to write all his feelings down as therapy, to help him

Abyss meaning is deep or bottomless. Kim Seokjin referred it to his deepest thoughts, feelings and emotion that’s locked up in the darkest part of his mind. His song Abyss is swimming and crawling out of that deep hole

In his song awake, jin talks about how he would doubt himself and never be able to fly meaning he felt he couldn’t meet others expectations. Even though he felt like a failure in his lyrics he tells himself don’t cry and keep going.

Jin feels hesitant to dream big because he's afraid of failing & uses symbolism of butterfly's wings to reflect his aspirations of flying toward success.Even so,he continues to "struggle & fight"through his insecurities & lies awake dreaming of the future.

Epiphany is sudden manifestation or perception of the meaning of something. In Jin's "Epiphany" that realization has to do with acknowledging his self-worth,it serves as a self-love anthem because it reminds listeners to be more accepting of who they are

Tonight touches on a subject they don't usually hear in music: The fear of losing someone close to you

"Moon" a mid-tempo serenade,a love song in which jin imagines himself as the moon orbiting around his very own stargirl, or in this case, Army's who often comment on his striking features he says he's nothing but a mirror, reflecting the beauty around him

*chuckles in*

the versatility they have.

And now lets appreciate joons wordplays :
his rap part in wab pt.2 ;
"Told me it’s impossible but
Look carefully, I put a period in impossible
I’m possible" a wordplay meaning when you put a space in the word "impossible", it becomes "im possible" nothing is impossible

his brilliant wordplay in trivia 承: love ;

"I’m just a person, you erode all my sharp edges, You make me into love"

- refers to korean for person (사람) and we take the last consonant "ㅁ" and erode it's corners it becomes "ㅇ" thus becoming the korean word for love (사랑).

"Love is a maze, damn
But you is amaze, yeah" — love maze.

namjoon showing his romantic self by rhyming 'maze' and 'amaze' implying that love is complicated but the one he loves is 'amaze', or amazing.

In "Telepathy" namjoon raps, 'Oh can I be your Bibilly Hills, like you did the same to me'. he uses a wordplay for Beverly Hills. 'Bibil' translates to something to rub against in Korean. It is like saying something to lean on. He wants us to lean on him, wants to be our support.

‘Us’ is just a plural of ‘U’ — 134340.

- says that “us” (two people) is the plural or multiple of “you” (one person). here by adding an 's' after 'u' (slang for you) he actually made 'us' into the plural of 'you'. in this song he uses pluto as a metaphor for a human relation.

"Been calling your name in this whole universe
Now I need no space
I got youniverse" — heartbeat.

- he was searching for his love (in this case ARMYs) in the universe, now that he found us, he doesn't want to be apart or 'space'. he finishes by rhyming 'universe' to 'youniverse'

'A fish lives in all our hearts
Its name is selfish, selfish' — am i wrong?

the first line will make no sense without the 2nd, where namjoon adds 'sel' in front of 'fish' thus rhyming and making it 'selfish' saying that selfishness is part of every human.

'Just treat me like a comma, I'll take you to a new phase' — waste it on me

Namjoon saying to think of him as a comma (where a person are not in sense), he will take us to a new phase, means a better world or life.

"여긴 왕국, 나는 킹 너는 덤 [dum]" — cypher pt.2
[This is a kingdom, I’m a king, you’re dumb.]

can be interpreted in 2 ways ;
1. Kingdom = King + dom -> King + dumb
2. Kingdom = King + dom -> King + 덤 (dum; an extra, a freebie) ; both are equal insult to hater

You're my Miss Right, Miss Right
If I lose you, it’s a miss, right? Miss Right? — miss right.

again another wordplay just by using the same 2 words 'miss right' in a different meaning by saying if he losses her, it will be a miss or failure for him.

namjoon saying "I'm ill" in dis-ease — a triple entendre:
1. "I'm ill, yeah I'm work itself" as in he's sick of working.
2. I'm il (일 referring to korean of 'work') as in all he ever does is work.
3. I'm il (일 reoffering to korean of 'one') as in I'm the first/ I'm number one.

In ddaeng the same word ddaeng is used in many ways in joon's verse;
1.Wrong
2.The sound of ringing a bell
3. Finished
4. 얼음 땡 (ice ddaeng), a children’s game (tag).
5. Having two cards from the same month in Hwatu

black swan is a masterpiece, the lyrics and symbolism to a black swan,of losing their passion for music like a swan who can’t fly; one of their biggest shadows, you should listen to it especially Iho your'e trying to make your passion into a career.

There wouldn't be no Bts lf it wasn't for this masterpiece,no more dream’s lyrics represented resilience and empowerment, freeing yourself from the stereotypes placed on you by the hands of the society and stop being confined and trapped in someone's traditional dream
