Okay, we knew that the ballad version of "Euphoria" was coming, 'cause DJ Swivel actually stated it on his Twitter in February. And it's finally here, guys, for FESTA 2019. "Euphoria" is one of those songs that sound equally as good when it's high-energy like the official album version on Love Yourself: Answer, and when it's slow and mellow, like the version that was released today. However, the lyrics end up taking on a different meaning when the beat and the instrumental changes. In its original form, the song has a very happy, optimistic, light-hearted meaning. But in the ballad form, the subject of the lyrics almost seem... bittersweet and haunting. In a word, it's gorgeous. What I especially appreciate about this version is that you can really hear the clarity and intonation of Kookie's vocals. It's another reason why he's the main vocalist of BTS.
You are the sunlight that rose again in my life
The second coming of the dreams from my youth
I don’t know what this emotion is
Perhaps this is also the inside of a dream
A dream is the blue mirage of the desert
Deep inside of me, a priori
I become happy to the point of being unable to breathe
The surroundings, bit by bit, become clearer
The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia
Would I have wandered to find a dream that disappears like a rainbow
It’s different from a common word like "destiny"
Your painful gaze and I are looking to the same place
Won’t you please stay in dreams
The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Even if the surface of the desert splits apart
Even if someone shakes up this world
Don’t ever let go of the grasped hand
Please don’t wake up from the dream
The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia
