BTS—Interlude: Shadow

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I want a big thing

Oh, boy, let me see

I got a big dream, yeah

Ooh, maeil seollessji naega eodikkaji galji

Woo I wondered everyday how far I’d go

jeongsin eobs-i dallida boni eoneusae yeogikkaji wassji

I came to my senses and I find myself here

Yeah, hmm, bal mit-e geulimja

Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet

gogae sug-yeoboni deo keojijanh-a

Look down, it’s gotten even bigger

domangchyeobwassja nal ttalaoneun jeo bichgwa bilyehaneun nae geulimja

I run but the shadow follows, as dark as the light’s intense

dulyeowo, nop-i naneun ge nan museobji

I’m afraid, flying high is terrifying

amudo mal an haejwossjanh-a, yeogiga eolmana oelounji mal-ya

No one told me how lonely it is up here

naui doyag-eun chulag-i doel su issdan geol

I can leap in the air but also plunge

ije algess-eo, ttaelon domang-i chaseon-ilan geol, pause

Now I know running away could be an option too, pause

salamdeul-eun, mwo, malhaji, jeo bich sog-eun chanlanhane

People say, there’s splendor in that bright light

geunde nae geulimjaneun doelyeo deo geujeo naleul samkyeo goemul-i dwae

But my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster

jeo wilo wilo, tto wilo wiloman gada boni yeogin eodilo

Up high, high, and higher, higher, I only go higher and vertigo overtakes me

tto wilo wiloman ganeun (silh-eo nan)

I rise, rise. I hate it

musahagil bil-eo bil-eo

I pray, pray, hoping to be okay

naui balamdaelo nopge nalgo issneun sungan

The moment I’m flying high as I wished

jeo naelyeojjoeneun bich-e deo keojin geulimja

My shadow grows in that blasting stark light

Please don't let me shine

Don't let me down

Don't let me fly

ijeneun dulyeowo

Now I’m afraid

gajang mitbadag-ui naleul majuhaneun sungan

The moment I face myself brought lowest

gong-gyolobgedo yeogin jang-gong-ijanh-a

It so happens that I’m flying the highest

Please don't let me shine

Don't let me down

Don't let me fly

ijeneun museowo

Now I’m scared

Don't let me shine

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna go win

I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star

I wanna be the top

I wanna be a rockstar

I want it all mine

I wanna be rich

I wanna be the king

I wanna be me

I wanna be
