[Intro]
I remember
I, I, I remember
Ah, ah
[Verse 1:Jungkook, Jimin]
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
Time goes by on its own
Without a single apology, yeah
[Verse 2: RM]
It looks like rain again today
I'm soaked to the bone
Still won't stop (Hey)
Running faster than that cloud of rain
Thought that'd be enough
Guess I'm only human after all
I'm in a world of pain
This cold the damn world gave to me (Woo)
Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind
Dancing off-beat lying on the ground
Once winter comes, let's exhale
A warmer breath
[Pre-Chorus: V, Jungkook]
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
[Chorus: Jungkook, Jimin]
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
[Verse 3: Suga]
Let me tell you with this song (Ayy)
People say the world has changed (No)
Mm-mm-mm-mm
But thankfully between you and me
Nothing's changed
[Verse 4: J-hope, Jungkook]
With the annyeong that we start and finish the day
Let us thread tomorrow with today (Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-woah)
Stopped for now but don't hide in the shadow
Once again daylight will glow
[Pre-Chorus: V, Jungkook, Jin]
There's no end in sight
Is there a way out?
My feet refuse to move, oh
Close your eyes for a moment (Close it)
Hold my hand (Hold it)
To that future, let's run away (Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus: All, Jimin]
Like an echo in the forest
The day will come back around
As if nothing happened
Yeah, life goes on (Oh, woah)
Like an arrow in the blue sky
Another day flying by (Flies by)
On my pillow, on my table
Yeah, life goes on
Like this again
[Outro: Jimin,V]
I remember
I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I remember
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I remember
I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I remember
Ah-ah, ah-ah
A/N: This nostalgic song blurs alternative hip-hop sound with acoustic guitar and synth-pop. The lyrics offered comfort in a time when the world faced the pandemic.
The story behind the song begins from BTS declaring that "even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on and imparts a message of healing to fans and to the world."
The theme "life goes on" was mentioned several times while BTS shared the process behind the album through vlogs over the months.
"Life goes on, let's live on" was also the main message of their speech at the 75th UN General Assembly, given just a few months before the song release. The group appeared there as they've worked previously with UNICEF on the "LOVE MYSELF" campaign, this time giving the message of "let's live on in a new world, breaking free from despair and supporting one another in warm solidarity."
The song serves as the leading track and the second promotional single from BTS' fifth studio album, BE.
