방탄소년단 (BTS) - 길 / Path

🎧 Please use headphones! 🎧 ~ LEFT EAR - KOREAN | RIGHT EAR - ENGLISH ~

I don’t see many people talking about this song. I asked some people about it and they said they have listened to it, but that’s about it.

I personally think this is one of their best songs. It sounds relaxing and it says a lot about what BTS went through when they became trainees, up until they debuted (◠‿◠)

Here’s the English lyrics:

[Rap Monster]
Yeah, wassup 
You know, time flows like stars
 Check it, check, check, check, check it out


It started with Eminem, Garion, Epik High 
I exceed imitation, I write my own rap then carve them in
 Now that I see, I’ve somehow gotten to Hongdae
 All of my life savings at the time all **** the teacher But we don’t know, we don’t know

 We don’t know the future Allowed no time to breathe 
and tied me up while I was dreaming
 The trap of an abandoned reality
 Oh the trap of one’s youth My fiery heart lost to my cold head damn
 While I had blind faith
 that my choice was the right one
 something that I can’t identify as an angel or devil says 
“Wouldn’t you like to rap properly
 Yes or no, there is no time to hesitate” 
I, who didn’t want to make
an even bigger idiot out of myself
 came to this place and 3 years have since passed Some say art is long, life is short
 But now for me art is life, life is sports
 Just do it, uh

[Jungkook]
Would I have changed? 
If I had chosen a different path 
if I had stopped and looked back Oh hey ya, hey ya 
What will I get to see? 
At the end of this road
 where you would be standing 
Oh hey ya, hey ya

[SUGA]
Countless measures of time has passed and it’s 2013 
I remained as trainee for 3 years
 Before I knew it, I’ve changed from a high school student to an oversized child
Grey hairs of greed and ambition increase 
and the many friends I had split off one by one family without them, I’m lonely 
I greet my third spring in Seoul alone 
I thought my worries will ease
 with the debut in front of my nose
I closed my eyes to the present that could not be altered 
Reality was different 
even when my peers tried to keep me 
I walked the lightless tunnels on my own 
I thought I was alone but I’ve learned that we are seven
 No longer barefoot, wearing shoes called Bangtan
 We go on forward another step, newer than the last 
Towards the fourth spring we’ll greet in Seoul, whoa

[Jimin]
Would I have changed? 
If I had chosen a different path 
if I had stopped and looked back Oh hey ya, hey ya

[Jin]
What will I get to see?
 At the end of this road
where you would be standing Oh hey ya, hey ya

[J-Hope]
It’s the year 2010
 my steps head to Seoul
I, who started out just loving dance 
is soon to stand on stage 
Until then I combat the many pains and scars 
and prepare myself 
I nurture my notion to bend rather than to break
 and run for 3 years 
and ignite the stars in my heart
 Now see me anew 
I carve ‘Bangtan’ into a blank page that means the whole world 
I walk towards my brighter future 
I put on a smile for the further days, haha

[V]
Would I

[Jungkook]
would I

[V]
have changed?

[Jungkook]
have changed?

[V]
If I had chosen a different path 
if I had stopped and looked back Oh hey ya, hey ya

[Jungkook]
What will I
 What will I
get to see? 
get to see?
 At the end of this road
where you would be standing Oh hey ya, hey ya

[Rap Monster]
Would I have changed?

[Jungkook]
have changed?

[Rap Monster]
If I had chosen a different path 
if I had stopped and looked back
 Oh hey ya, hey ya [Rap Monster]
What will I get to see?

[Jungkook]
get to see?

so before I go to sleep, I had a need to listen to this song, immerse myself in lyrics.. Yes. I’ll do my best tomorrow. Thank you Bangtan for telling your stories through songs, for giving me light and happiness. /this poetry tho/

“While I had blind faith that my choice was the right one, something that I can’t identify as an angel or devil says”

“Would I have changed? If I had chosen a different path, if I had stopped and looked back. What will I get to see? At the end of this road, where you would be standing”

“I thought I was alone but I’ve learned that we are seven. No longer barefoot, wearing shoes called Bangtan”

“Until then I combat the many pains and scars and prepare myself I nurture my notion to bend rather than to break and run for 3 years and ignite the stars in my heart”
