BTS FESTA 2021: RM — "Bicycle"

on
Sunday, June 6, 2021

Pedalling with my two feet
I face you, whom I can't see
These few centimetres of excitement
That you always give me

I wanna keep the bass down low
My heart is already in weekend mode
I don't see no open cars, no open bars
It's not bad, it's just me on this road
People's hearts floating like islands
The night that seems like it won't come
Walk along the horizon and pedal along again
Towards that vanishing point we've decided on

If you're sad, ride your bike
Leave the wind beneath your two feet
Oh, let's ride our bikes
Spread your two arms freely

Na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na

Sometimes I let it roll along
Just like the wheels on a bicycle
There's something to look for
Just like an afternoon snack
I think I've lived to get to these small moments
Above these two wheels, everything is like my
Very own midday dream
Feel the roof, smell the truth
Miracles aren't too far away
Whatever face you're making, right now it's okay
Things that are truly precious can't be seen by the eye
Take your feet off the ground
Be like the birds
Float like an island
Dance with the wind
Yeah, it's okay to cry
Happiness usually comes with sadness

If you're sad, ride your bike
Leave the wind beneath your two feet
Oh, let's ride our bikes
Spread your two arms freely

Na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na
La-la-la-la-la
Na-na-na na-na-na
La-la-la-la-la

This might be the most wholesome song I have ever listened to. It's literally about riding your bicycle and the feeling of freedom and lightheartedness that it brings, but to me, it's a very gentle, calming song that gives a feeling-the-warm-summer-breeze-at-night kind of vibe. Definitely adding it to my mellow night-time jams playlist. (Similarly, I could see this song as the background music in a romantic K-drama scene wherein the two main characters are getting to know each other better over a couple drinks at an outdoor patio in the middle of summer. And yes, there are fairy lights all around. Because this song demands fairy lights.)
