Epiphany
Lyrics
Lyrics are things that move me in songs. I love that these lyrics are so intentional. I think all of us at one point in our lives have fallen deeply in love with someone and invested our whole self into their lives. This might be ok if the other individual is so into us they invest in us and it ends up being mutual – you build them up – they build you up.
Many times, especially with young love, it all too often ends up being one sided. Have you ever been in a relationship when after a time you feel you have lost yourself? You have lived for the other person and somewhere along the way the “real” you is nowhere to be found. You forgot what it was like to put yourself first. Many people get stuck there and never find their way back to themselves.
I love this song because it can be an “epiphany” for someone in a relationship to discover the need to love themselves first before they can love someone else.
This is a BTS song so I put the English lyrics here but as you listen most of it is sung in Korean. Enjoy!!
Epiphany
So weird, I for sure loved you so much (Loved you so much)
Adapted to you with everything, I wanted to live my life for you
But as I keep doing that I just can’t bear the storm inside my heart
The real myself inside the smiling mask, I reveal it entirely
[Chorus: Jin]
I’m the one I should love in this world
Shining me, precious soul of mine
I finally realized so I love me
Not so perfect but so beautiful
I’m the one I should love
[Verse 2: Jin]
I’m shaking and afraid but I keep going forward
I’m meeting the real you, hidden in the storm
Why did I want to hide my precious self like this?
What was I so afraid of?
Why did I hide my true self?
[Chorus: Jin]
I’m the one I should love in this world
Shining me, precious soul of mine
I finally realized so I love me
Not so perfect but so beautiful
I’m the one I should love
