forever rain.
personifying rain as a friend that asks him how he is doing by knocking his window cuz even though we have friends we still feel that loneliness that can't be fulfilled by humans.
starting with, tokyo.
this line "i see pinocchio wearing a poncho" means that namjoon sees himself like pinocchio. despite success, he feels haunted by things like loneliness, parallel to pinocchio’s struggles with his identity.
seoul.
namjoon moved to seoul when he was just 15. he’s referring to spending the rest of his childhood years working on his career. the line “it’s after all, my home (seoul, seoul)” shows that seoul has now become his home.
everythingoes.
my ultimate comfort song. i love how he puts it out there that may it be the good or the bad.. everything, eventually goes, withers away and falls apart. this being the merry go of life.
moonchild.
in this song, he describes embracing pain and sorrow as inherent parts of life, finding solace in oneself and the beauty of the night and not allowing oneself to be torn apart.
@CastePatroller
okay...and what about you men?
-doesn't drink
-doesn't smoke
-doesn't talk to girls
-should be virgin
-shouldn't be an average sigma male
-shouldn't have beard
sounds about right.
wild flower.
this bridge makes me cry cuz he tells us how he doesn't wanna be pressured to live up to people's expectations, cuz namjoon is his own person.
uhgood.
in these lines, he talks about the pain of not feeling like yourself cuz you’re torn apart with how you see yourself and the idealized perfect self that you want to be. this is so relatable cuz we tend to be harsh upon ourselves to be "perfect".
no.2.
i've cried so much with this one. personally namjoon healed me with this track. describes how you gotta move forward without regrets, don't look back no more 🤍
still life.
when he says "look at my stain" he's implying that he wants us to look at his artwork and everything he has created. he’s directly contrasting himself to other artists who show off their wealth/status in superficial ways. WE LOVE TO SEE 😭
change pt 2.
shook us all with this one. i fucking love it how he describes that everything changes cuz it's the "world's shape". friendship, love, betrayal, everything is a result of change.
ddaeng.
the part where he stutters is him mimicking the stuttering of the haters to convey their nervousness. what a slap to their faces. I LOVE NAMJOON
deslm.
goosebumps everytime. it's the way he poetically described a relationship that's tearing apart saying that "love is a violence" meaning it can be hurtful, it is unpredictable.
trivia : love.
since to love, to live and human sound similar in korean, he did this genius wordplay that has me shook even today. when he sings the "pqrst" line, he refers it to an ecg of the human heartbeat cuz the waves are labelled with those letters.
ending this thread with dimple.
he wrote this thinking of himself is the most adorable thing ever. 😭
again the wordplay "so i call you illegirl" he's the master of wordplays. namjoon you're fucking amazing!
winter flower.
the line "life is full of paradox" is still stuck with me. joon tells us that life is full of self-doubt and contradicting one’s own thoughts and the only solution is to carry on with this marathon.
spring day.
namjoon beautifully described the agony and sadness of waiting for a loved one in this song as winter season and the time when that friend returns as the spring season. he made us all cry with this one.
don't.
namjoon uses the waves of the sea as a metaphor for an ending relationship. like waves, begins and grows then end crashing into the shore, after which not everyone is able to survive. beautiful and melancholy.
reflection.
this song is so close to my heart. namjoon talks about his insecurities thru the way of his lyrics, conveying everyone else knows their purpose but he stands there without having one. so relatable, makes me cry.
sea.
here joon talks about the members' insecurities in a poetic way. "endless sand and rough wind" depict the struggles bts went through to succeed. "is what i know really the ocean? or a blue desert?” interprets doubts the group had at that time.
gajah.
another VERY underrated song. here the line "are you gonna be a star or a starfish?
no disrespect for starfish" namjoon explains the decision to stand out (star) or be in a comfort zone (starfish). this is a genius comparison!
i may have missed a lot of songs. i can't put em all here 🥹🫶🏻
rpwp drops this month! hope you guys will stream it, GIVE IT OUR ALL. let's give namu a big achievement this time! 🫶🏻💥
