BTS — Life Goes On

Sentimental, bittersweet, reflective, and hopeful are only some of the words to describe this song, both sonically and lyrically. It's actually fairly monochrome in sound, which is one of the reasons I love it. That is to say, there's no real hook and it's not immediately catchy. Which means it's not going to be easy to get sick of, or get overplayed. It's the same reason why "Spring Day" has stayed on the Korean charts since it was released in 2017. This one is going to be a fast favourite of mine. If there's one thing that's for sure, it's the real anthem for 2020. 

One day the world stopped

Without any warning

Spring didn't know to wait

Showed up not even a minute late

Streets erased of footprints

I lie here, fallen to the ground

Times goes by on its own

Without a single apology

It looks like rain again today

I'm soaked to the bone

Still won't stop

Running faster than that rain cloud

Thought that would be enough

Guess I'm only human after all

I'm in a world of pain

This cold the world gave to me

Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind

Dancing off-beat lying on the ground

Once winter comes, let's exhale

A warmer breath

There's no end in sight

Is there a way out?

My feet refuse to move, oh

Close your eyes for a moment

Hold my hand

To that future, let's run away

Like an echo in the forest

The day will come back around

As if nothing happened

Yeah, life goes on

Like an arrow in the blue sky

Another day flying by

On my pillow, on my table

Yeah, life goes on

Like this again

Let me tell you with this song

People say the world has changed

But thankfully, between you and me

Nothing's changed

With the "annyeong" that we start and finish the day

Let us thread tomorrow with today

Stopped for now, but don't hide in the shadow

Once again daylight will glow

There's no end in sight

Is there a way out?

My feet refuse to move, oh

Close your eyes for a moment

Hold my hand

To that future, let's run away

Like an echo in the forest

The day will come back around

As if nothing happened

Yeah, life goes on

Like an arrow in the blue sky

Another day flying by

On my pillow, on my table

Yeah, life goes on

Like this again

I remember

I remember

I remember

I remember

I'm still emotional.
