BTS — Life Goes On

on
Friday, November 20, 2020

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.
