—바다, 방탄소년단

perhaps, I am the rain

a cloud couldn't contain any longer—

the firmament's tears,

just bearing another term to be called—

I've got no choice

but to fall and stream down,

for I became too hard to bear

or maybe I am an ocean—

a vessel consists of tears

that I still didn't know

how to release and let go;

and if a person gets close to me,

I might embrace them with my waves

out of excitement,

that I might have them drowned eventually

perhaps,

I am a moon, bearing a different name—

alone, in the midst of this darkness,

but have learnt to shine despite the obscurity

or even a part of a constellation,

that's what I am—

walking in this planet,

I'm a star still searching for that connection

to finally see where I really belong

I am the sadness,

but I can also be the laughter;

the grief,

but also the smiles on the lips

is this the reason

why we sometimes feel lost,

and want to look for ourselves?

for we are everything

in these containers,

and that we are clueless

what's our real identity,

that we somehow feel

we've lost our soul,

and there's a need for us

to search for it

who are we?

we don't even know,

there's more to unfold and discover—

all the high and lows

but what we need is to be prepared

as to who we are about to see

at the very end of this journey
