Taehyung is a vocal god he has proven he is a member of the dance line and has ripped my nonexistent weave straight from my head and set it in fire. I’m never getting it back
I Stan All KPop Groups lol your comment killed me 😂😂😂. But Taehyung is perfect and OMG😱 I wasn't really expecting this from him and it freaking killed me 😱😱. 😱. And the part of been crazy isnt that every Army lol?? 😂😂😂
RM wrote this song but I think the song is relatable to each member in that they feel that they're two people. The person they show the public and their true selves. I think it's about the struggle to be their own person and loving themselves.
Cherie Partin he wrote something he thought he'd like yeah but I think it was still for the actual Universe thing they got going on because it connects 100%
Julia Sosebee yeah this theory makes a lot of sense after watching burn the stage ep 7 where RM himself said that he feels that he has this fake persona that he shows to the public as "RM" but he is very different from "Namjoon." He was like "there's only so much you can show to the public" and I was like what are you saying boii??! But anyways, since he wrote the song, these thoughts of his are probably the message of this song. He even said that this song was written in one go with no rewriting or reviewing so that just shows how much he wanted to express his feelings about this. These thoughts/feelings are probably similar to that of other BTS members Edit: ep 6, sorry. Basically RM was talking about how he needs time to be himself, a normal adult "Kim Namjoon," a regular 24 year old, since he invests a lot into his identity as BTS and "RM" and etc. The most painful thing he said was "whenever I wear makeup & stand in front of the camera, I don't know to what extent I can be honest because giving ppl the opportunity/room to make controversies & interpretation is what makes a star." He even said "you don't have a choice but to have two identities." So he basically confirmed your theory. It'll be awkward though if V or RM explain this and it's something completely different 😂😭
My interpretation of the lyrics- When he decided to be a celeb he basically 'threw himself into the lake'. The lake can symbolize his alter self, the polished self that the public sees. Then the lake froze over, meaning that he was trapped in his false self. 'Have I lost myself or have I gained you'- has he lost his true self and gained his fake self. There is a 'phantom pain' that's pain that isn't real because even though he likes all this, somewhere in his mind it pains that he can't be his real self. He wishes that 'one spring day the frozen lake will melt' meaning that one day he'll be able to let go of his fake self and be himself. At the end, he's hidden behind a mask and his earring says 'loved'. He's loved but his mask is the one being loved, not his true self. That is it's fake love. The lyrics also have a connection to the story of Narcissus and it can also be connected to the entire storyline of bts universe. In short it's a lyrical gem created by the genius Kim Namjoon.
BTS Army I agree with you. The famous paintings all point to that explanation as well. I love the cerebral side to this Universe that shows us their true feelings. I just wish that meant they were more happy with what they wished for.
BTS_NOONASROCK! It also coincides with what Namjoon spoke during burn the stage. That he could be Kim Namjoon only for a very short time. I think that even though they're happy in some ways, there's always the longing for normalcy. I love songs like this which make us think. I'm so looking forward to this album!
Your interpretation makes a lot of sense. One day they will have to go through as much hardship as they did to get where they are now, to get back their lives as a normal person.
Its tradition for BTS which comeback trailer is the intro of their album and done by one member. They take turn and this time is V aka kim taehyung. This intro give me vibe like wings album which is where blood sweat and tears mv from. I love BTS dark vibe, slow songs. They are amazing for r&b. Cant wait their album would be drop on 18th may 12am kst!
Loved the reaction! This song is so calming and soulful I really love it, their album drops May 18th and this will probably be the intro to it, BTS videos always have many theories behind them, i've heard some people say they think he's telling the story of Narsicuss who fell in love with his reflection and then drowned (because of the lyrics saying lake) I took it as he lost himself either in himself or someone else and he didn't have a voice so he wasn't free to be himself, I liked what Bam said about the mask at the end that makes sense too 👍 BTS videos always have a lot of symbolism and stories behind them so no one really knows what they're about exactly
Yhh I have heard this story. Apparently around Narsicuss time they didn’t have mirrors. So what happened is he saw him self in the lake (his reflection) and fell inlove. However he didn’t know it was himself.
I've seen a very nice interpretation that the song is about two egos, two sides of himself. In the lake he saw his face, he said he shouldn't have thrown himself away. Like, there're two sides which one is a fictional idol side and the other is true himself, real side. He gave up on his own voice, that's why reality is silent, the throat in sore and he isn't sure if his voice exist, he can't express himself because of the dominative V ego. He is wondering is he could have make a different choice. Taehyung always used to tell us about how much he want to be an artist, not just a performer, BTS's artistic project they're executing is pretty strict and it doesn't leave much space for themselves. BTS members treat this project like a mission which deserves sacrificing much other stuff. Like a catholic priest have to quit everything to serve properly to his god. Taehyung is dedicated but he has a huge artistic aspiration. For now he doesn't have the space to grow it. Generally it's a trailer for "Love Yourself" serie, for the part which will have a darker theme, also the main track will have "Fake love" title, so I guess "Singularity" is about discovering himself either way. The song is written by RM but he wrote it directly for Taehyung, so this time I'm a bit helpless to say which interpretation is more true.
I waited for this! The full album with the mv will drop on May 18th and they will also perform at the BBMAs on May 20th. BTS said this album will be darker so you can see why the trailer has sad lyrics but is also very deep.
The song speaks on the conflict between the person you actually are vs. The mask you wear in public. That's what's genius about the song and the dance combined. The song is slow and flows evenly whereas the dance is jagged and rough, yet again elaborating on the struggle and conflict between the two personalities.
I love that you guys took the time to discuss the song and video. It’s a very expressive song one theory is that its about having to be a star and giving up your freedom, ideals, and voice as a singer. In the Korean music industry most groups are strictly monitored so they don’t date, use the internet to post things and overall do anything that’s frowned upon. The video is basically saying their true personalities are being suppressed by the fame.
HE KILLED IT ALL. THE HARMONIES. THE DANCE. THE VISUAL. THE FEELINGS. and we got overwhelmed by all the theories. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMEBACK SO BADLY!🖤🇰🇷🙏🏻👑😍🔥
*The song is quite metaphorical and is related to the story behind his music videos. Especially in the depths of darkness, the modest choreography along with a white mask that appears in the middle of the image expresses the act of lying to lie in order to obtain love. The cracked ice, which appears several times in the video, represents the moment when it realizes that it is a false act. You do not necessarily have to talk about love between a man and a woman, you can talk about love in general, between friends, family, etc.*
Love Yourself, "Tear" is the name of their new album that is coming out this Friday 🙌🏾 Patiently waiting for that.... and Singularity is the name of the song... the song has a really deep meaning, I think he is talking about fame and how he has lost his true self, he is not able to show it completely but I'm not sure, there are tons of interpretations out there, all their songs are super deep and connected with one another and I love it and appreciate it
the song has a lot of references to a greek story of Narcissius, a man who loved himself so much and would stare into his reflection everyday until he tried to get too close, fell in the frozen lake, and drowned. a lot of lines relate to this story, while part of it tells of objectification and narcissism. the line “i buried my voice for you” comes off as trying to reach a goal of perfection people have created for him. another factor of the song is confusion, sexualization, self loathing and regret. as the beginning of the song tells, he’s waking up to sounds of this breaking, which this sound is breaking ice, in which ice symbolises the frozen lake in which Narcissius drowned in. the regret part of this is regretting how much time is put into self obsession. along with this obsession comes sexualization and confusion. and another part that comes along with this song is heartbreak, realisation and oppression. the end of the song hints at the realisation that nothing has gone the way he planned initially, which he experiences heartbreak, and oppression (trying to hide his feelings) and the parts where the song hints at loss of voice, it basically means that he wants to know if what his voice has become is what it really is. that might sound confusing but everything he says has become so twisted with all his emotions that he can hardly even understand what hes trying to say and if he really means what he says. the line “i shouldnt have thrown myself away” is regret, again playing in with the Narcissius story, regretting his self obsession. the ending really hints at him being confused, guilty, angry, depressed, etc because all along he had no idea that he couldn’t get what he wanted. the overall story is based on four stages. the first stage is obsession, the second stage is regret and confusion, the third stage is heartbreak and the fourth stage is oppression and guilt. yeah. thats pretty much what it means
the video and the song ... the dancers everything was so artistic i feel like it's open to interpretation ... because ppl can relate to each song differently ...and bts makes sure that their music is relatable to everyone. The album is called love yourself . however there are 4 albums : 1) love yourself "her" which had DNA in it. 2) love yourself "tear"which is coming out on the 18th of May .... we still have 2 more coming soon
The album is dropping on May 18th! Get ready!! People are guessing that he’s singing from the point of view of Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection and drowned in a lake.
BTS taehyung serves up a smooth alt R&B sound on “Singularity.” "A sound of something breaking / I awake from sleep," croons V at the start of the melody jazzy before it evolves into a desperate, reflective tune. "Have I lost myself / Or have I gained you?" he asks. "Tell me if my voice isn't real / If I shouldn't have thrown myself away."The song also features multiple references to lakes, with lyrics that appear to be inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and died because of it. "I suddenly run to the lake / There's my face in it,” he sings. “But in the end spring will come someday / the ice will melt and float away / tell me if my voice isn't real."
You guys said some really good points tbh 👏. My interpretation of the song was that I think the lyrics are trying to talk about how V wanted to hide his true self so he threw his true self in the lake and it froze over. The sound that's haunting him is the sound of ice breaking, his true self trying to break free. At the end he says spring will come again and melt the ice, basically saying how no matter how much he tries to conceal his true identity, his true self will inevitably show- basically talking about the pain in trying to love yourself for who you are, just like how the guy in the white shirt kept mentioning the connection between the album's name ("Love Yourself") & the song itself. But after watching BTS Burn the Stage ep 7, I agree with a comment I saw because RM himself said that he feels that he has this fake persona that he shows to the public as "RM" but he is very different from "Namjoon." He was like "there's only so much you can show to the public" and I was like what are you saying boii??! But anyways, since he wrote the song, these thoughts of his are probably the message of this song. He even said that this song was written in one go with no rewriting or reviewing so that just shows how much he wanted to express his feelings about this. These thoughts/feelings are probably similar to that of other BTS members. Edit: ep 6, sorry. Basically he was talking about how him as "Kim Namjoon" is different and enjoys regular things like nature and walking around. And that he didn't have enough time to even live as "Kim Namjoon." The most painfully true thing he said was that "whenever I wear makeup & stand in front of the camera, I don't know to what extent I can be honest because giving ppl the opportunity/room to make controversies & interpretation is what makes a star." He even said "you don't have a choice but to have two identities." Then he began talking about it's a "dilemma" how he invests a lot of time into his identity as bts' "RM" and that he as well as other members need time to be "wholly me, the original me I know" by doing normal people things like reading, walking outside, enjoying nature, etc. Burn the stage honestly has given us so much insight into BTS. Most of us think, oh wouldn't it be great to be famous, but the painful truth is that the life of a celebrity is not so pretty after all. But that's just life. No one can ever be happy for too long. Sadness is inevitable. No one's life is perfect, no matter how much it looks like it.
Black tears can mean losing someone/something close to you, whether that be something in your life is "dying" or a transition of "mourning" to set something aside and move on. BTS always uses symbolism in their videos, which is why there are countless theories. This was the comeback trailer for the upcoming album LY: Tear, which will drop May 18. The song is Singularly. The comeback trailers are the Intros & always done solo by one of the members.
It's about losing himself through self rejection. In the beginning when he rejected his own hand. The mask represented his different faces that were not his real self. The lyrics were he said "tell me if my voice isn't real" " tell me this pain isn't real" he's hiding himself behind the mask and wants someone ( himself) to tell him it's okay. Basically "LOVE YOURSELF!!!"❤️
V kings I love you! The song is linked to the new album that is linked to the previous songs and mvs. There are many theories. I've never seen you think so much about the meaning of a song. Your reactions, are equal to many ARMYS around.
Love Yourself: Tear is the name of the upcoming album of BTS part of the Love Yourself Series (new theme for their continuing storyline and music work) they are doing after HYYH series. The name of this song is actually "Singularity".
Singularity was written by RM specifically fot V to sing on this comeback trailer for their latest album, Love Yourself: Tear. a comeback trailer is an introduction to the whole album. RM is a genius! BTS is the best! there's nothing like BTS! the lyrics describes V as the person who uses different faces to other people to be loved hence the masks. the voice and cries he heard was his subconscious that's reminding him of what he's s doing to himself. V seeing himself.trappes in.the frozen lake symbolizes his real self that he's afraid to show. but spring will come and will melt the eyes that will reveal his true.self. V killed it! he's perfection! i love V!
Every comeback they have a comeback trailer which is always the intro of the new album, for Wings it was J- hope "Boy Meets Evil" and then last comeback for Love Yourself:Her it was Jimin "Serendipity and this time it was Taehyubgs so next comeback will either be Jin or Jungkook. Also the next MV that's comes out from BTS will be their title song of the album (or single i guess if you wanna call it that)
V ❤ is the best in everything the best singer the cutest the funniest the best actor 😘 the handsome you have charisma on stage you have the talent your voice is unique and soulful you deserve more than words
I think along with the new album dropping, this is probably the perfect time for you guys to get involved in their “I NEED U” series bc there’s been a storyline since 2015, and it continues into the new album, I believe. Especially since they’re coming back bigger and ever & that way you’re not confused in the future by some videos. Example: like Euphoria 😂😂😂
The name of their new album is "Love Yourself: Tear." It's the continuation of their last album "Love Yourself: Her." This song is called "Singularity." It's the intro for the new album coming out on May 18th. Every BTS album has an intro track that just features 1 member, that's why this is just V. It is released early with it's own music video to give us an idea of the sound and look of the new album. The title track for this album is called "Fake Love." And this album is supposed to a lot darker than we're used to seeing from them. We believe this is about loving someone or something so much that you lose who you are, sacrificing and changing everything you are, to try to get this person or thing only to discover you've lost everyone and everything including yourself. ARMY believes this is what the new album is going to be about.
Was waiting for y’alls reaction!! You never know what goes on in RM’s genius mind but I think RM was trying to relay it’s impossible for an idol to have his own voice and be who they really are inside🤭💔. Using V’s beautiful R&B vocals was brilliant!!!! Love you guys😍
This is the intro trailer that will be included in the new album that coming out may 18. The last album love yourself her had an intro trailer song as well called Serendipity You definitely need to check that out as well! It is so good! BTS Serendipity Love Yourself Her Trailer MV
Thanks for the reaction and this is the first song rm wrote when he got out of the hospital, he wrote it in one shot without editing. This is a trailer for the new album like j hope’s “boy meets evil” for the wings album and Jimin’s “serendipity” trailer for their previous album “love yourself:her”. The new album releases on the 18th this month and their comeback is at the BBMAS and can u please react to serendipity bts
Amal Hussein he had surgery I believe, he posted a picture after and if you search it up you’ll find an article about it. It was like in March when he had it or earlier
I love the song! It can really have so many meanings. You can love someone until you lose yourself and then it becomes self destructive. By the way their new album is out on May 18th and they will perform their comeback song at the BBMAs on May 20th. I’m looking forward to it❤️
THANK you soooo MUCH!!!V KINGS is the only reaction channel I watch.I get soo happy when you react kpop and it’s something we all love and seeing you step into a different music genre makes me love this channel even more.💕💫🤙🏼
Yasssss I feel like I’ve watched this mv five million times lol but the album is called love yourself: tear and the song is called singularity. It’s most likely the intro for the album. Ughhhhh I’m so excited my heart can’t take it lol but I definitely feel like this song has a deep meaning. In my opinion I feel like this song may have something to do with mental illness like depression. Not being able to speak or express in an emotional sense you start to lose yourself and you’re not sure what’s real or not. If you are actually who say that you are. The lake could be a comfort zone (who knows I’m just taking a guess lol) and I think that Tae was talking to himself throughout the song. I could be completely wrong but that’s what I took from it and was able to relate. Nice reaction guys!!!! Comeback is near so be ready May 18th!!
Look at my fine Taehyung my bias he always come with the perfect vocal visual King of Flirt his facial apperission make army goes crazy I ain't lying about that go react to Taehyung iconic moments
Each solo in the love yourself albums are showing their story on how they learned to love themselves and the pain they had to go through in order to do so. At least that’s what RM was quoted to saying in an interview
Emily Blocker lmao I was gonna say if you listen to the lyrics that’s what it sounds like they’re saying. But I just realized that I’m thinking of a different song, Baespea
taehyung as narcissus in singularity. i don't know if you already read about this ''story'', but a lot off people are talking about this and related this to the song and mv.
the song tells a story about both narcissus and ophelia. ophelia completely gives herself to someone else, while narcissus only loves his own reflection. the story in the song goes from giving yourself to someone else completely but then remembering that loving yourself is more important
Ye cuz the song Let go I think connects to this with beings alone talking about a break up so he is alone meaning “singularity” and some other crap that had she SHOOK I WAS QUAKING
This mv is part of theories from their past album that will continue in this album... Everything is linked & connected... If you want to understand it more start from start with I need u mv then prologue & run
I love these lyrics. This is what i got from them, (the sound that he's hearing is the end of the relationship or the end of whatever the situation is that he's in, and he's basically saying you can't leave or this cant end, i've given up so much of myself for you/this that i don't even know who i am anymore, (hence the masks) so don't say anything, don't end it yet, things will get better a spring day will come again). Its SOOOO SAD and bittersweet, but i love it. And lets not forget Teahyung's amazing voice and how damn fineeeena he looked in that mv whewww! SLAYED BY ANOTHER BTS COMEBACK TRAILER! #Singularity
BTS_NOONASROCK um no honey armys dont say that. We ask that people don't upload the lyric videos until 24 hours after the song drops. Reactions are fine.
Waited for this reaction💞💞 I think it's about wanted to speak up and smthn related to that of being trapped and silenced because he says he doesn't have a voice and keeps hearing that sound
This song is just too much, I almost died when I heard and watch the video for the first time, and it was hard to understand what he was talking about I'm really excited for their comeback, I think is going to be like WINGS, Blood Sweet & Tears Btw, I really love your reactions ❣ (I'm sorry if I write something wrong, I'm not too good at English, but I like to see this kind of videos, cause I can learn more)
What I Know or I think I know is about the lake. When he said he throws himself in and the lake freezes and create a thick ice on top what I think it means that he like shut himself out or like created this "barrier" to hide his feelings to not show his true self. At the end it said spring will come and the ice will melt, to this I see it as that a special someone would get through that barrier and see the real him.
They always have multiple interpretations of their songs. If you look at the song generally speaking they are talking about how to some degree people where a mask. The one they show to the public & their true face. People wear a mask because they don’t think anybody will love their true selves. So “did I lose myself wearing this mask?” “Or did I gain love?”
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!💜 So many theories, hopefully this album will give some answers(meanwhile) Bighit: We bout to screw up erybodys summer with these videos🤣 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
RM wrote this song in right after he got out of the hospital. He used a lot of symbolism from previous albums like spring day and run. So I think it’s about realizing you’re not being true to yourself and being scared of losing yourself. Or some parts could quite literal. Anyways RM had always promised to make an intro song for V and two years later he kept his promise 😊.
After I listened to this song at least a hundred times lol, I've noticed that every phrase is different, you know in the songs usually there's always one phrase that repeats one or more times...but here all the phrases are different like the title says "Singularity". And when I read the lirycs...I don't know but i have the feeling that he's talking to himself, you know when he says: I run to the lake and I see myself mirrored in it- (I don't really remember the lyrics) then there's that part where he says: reach out my hand to cover the mouth- I think that he's talking to himself mirrored in the lake. It's as if in this song there are two V but in reality there's only one "Singularity. I mean it's like the icy lake is the wall that separetes them. Thank you that you reached the bottom ( ' U ' ) this is my opinion (I was waiting for your reaction to this THANKS)
This is the intro song to their new album. I think this song and video mean that we hide or true self behind masks in order to make other people like us for love us. Talks about being in pain about not having a voice for his opinion heard about losing himself, throwing himself away but hoping for a day when he can be himself. At one point he asks “tell me if I shouldn’t have thrown myself away” “if my voice isn’t real”, That’s if he’s wondering if he should of hidden himself in the beginning. Anyway, it’s all open to interpretation, make your own guess
From my perspective I feel like the song is saying after becoming an idol and a worldwide celebrity he threw his real self and personality away and had a fake face on and as the days went by it hurt more “a thick ice has formed” and when he said “spring will come one day, the ice will melt and flow away” I feel like he was saying he was tired of this fake face he had on and decided to finally be himself again.
Taehyung is a vocal god he has proven he is a member of the dance line and has ripped my nonexistent weave straight from my head and set it in fire. I’m never getting it back
I Stan All KPop Groups i love this comment... and i would love to Give you a new Weave if you want tho😂😂😂💛 But this is 💯💯💯💯
Kayla Bibiana thank you :’) I showed my comment to a girl in my grade and she asked me if I was high XD
I Stan All KPop Groups lol your comment killed me 😂😂😂. But Taehyung is perfect and OMG😱 I wasn't really expecting this from him and it freaking killed me 😱😱. 😱. And the part of been crazy isnt that every Army lol?? 😂😂😂
Facts
Lmao this comment is on 🔥
RM wrote this song but I think the song is relatable to each member in that they feel that they're two people. The person they show the public and their true selves. I think it's about the struggle to be their own person and loving themselves.
Julia Sosebee lmao you can tell namjoon wrote this song
Yeah that's how I took it too, and it also fits into the Universe they created where tae jumped into the lake, nvm lemme not get into theories..
RM wrote this song specifically for Tae Hyung
Cherie Partin he wrote something he thought he'd like yeah but I think it was still for the actual Universe thing they got going on because it connects 100%
Julia Sosebee yeah this theory makes a lot of sense after watching burn the stage ep 7 where RM himself said that he feels that he has this fake persona that he shows to the public as "RM" but he is very different from "Namjoon." He was like "there's only so much you can show to the public" and I was like what are you saying boii??! But anyways, since he wrote the song, these thoughts of his are probably the message of this song. He even said that this song was written in one go with no rewriting or reviewing so that just shows how much he wanted to express his feelings about this. These thoughts/feelings are probably similar to that of other BTS members
Edit: ep 6, sorry. Basically RM was talking about how he needs time to be himself, a normal adult "Kim Namjoon," a regular 24 year old, since he invests a lot into his identity as BTS and "RM" and etc. The most painful thing he said was "whenever I wear makeup & stand in front of the camera, I don't know to what extent I can be honest because giving ppl the opportunity/room to make controversies & interpretation is what makes a star." He even said "you don't have a choice but to have two identities." So he basically confirmed your theory. It'll be awkward though if V or RM explain this and it's something completely different 😂😭
My interpretation of the lyrics-
When he decided to be a celeb he basically 'threw himself into the lake'. The lake can symbolize his alter self, the polished self that the public sees.
Then the lake froze over, meaning that he was trapped in his false self. 'Have I lost myself or have I gained you'- has he lost his true self and gained his fake self.
There is a 'phantom pain' that's pain that isn't real because even though he likes all this, somewhere in his mind it pains that he can't be his real self.
He wishes that 'one spring day the frozen lake will melt' meaning that one day he'll be able to let go of his fake self and be himself.
At the end, he's hidden behind a mask and his earring says 'loved'. He's loved but his mask is the one being loved, not his true self. That is it's fake love.
The lyrics also have a connection to the story of Narcissus and it can also be connected to the entire storyline of bts universe.
In short it's a lyrical gem created by the genius Kim Namjoon.
BTS Army I agree with you. The famous paintings all point to that explanation as well. I love the cerebral side to this Universe that shows us their true feelings. I just wish that meant they were more happy with what they wished for.
BTS_NOONASROCK!
It also coincides with what Namjoon spoke during burn the stage. That he could be Kim Namjoon only for a very short time.
I think that even though they're happy in some ways, there's always the longing for normalcy.
I love songs like this which make us think. I'm so looking forward to this album!
Your interpretation makes a lot of sense. One day they will have to go through as much hardship as they did to get where they are now, to get back their lives as a normal person.
I love your interpretation 😁
Its tradition for BTS which comeback trailer is the intro of their album and done by one member. They take turn and this time is V aka kim taehyung. This intro give me vibe like wings album which is where blood sweat and tears mv from. I love BTS dark vibe, slow songs. They are amazing for r&b. Cant wait their album would be drop on 18th may 12am kst!
it will drop at 6 pm kst :) the new rule in korea in order to count for charts
And heads up, 6 pm kst is 4 am cst
Loved the reaction! This song is so calming and soulful I really love it, their album drops May 18th and this will probably be the intro to it, BTS videos always have many theories behind them, i've heard some people say they think he's telling the story of Narsicuss who fell in love with his reflection and then drowned (because of the lyrics saying lake) I took it as he lost himself either in himself or someone else and he didn't have a voice so he wasn't free to be himself, I liked what Bam said about the mask at the end that makes sense too 👍 BTS videos always have a lot of symbolism and stories behind them so no one really knows what they're about exactly
Yhh I have heard this story. Apparently around Narsicuss time they didn’t have mirrors. So what happened is he saw him self in the lake (his reflection) and fell inlove. However he didn’t know it was himself.
oh damn thats a story i gotta read in about
This is the intro to their new album that is gonna come out on May 18th💜💜💜
BTS BANGTAN REALLY!?!??!
Jazzy Does Stuff yes
Jazzy Does Stuff did you not know it’s ok and they are performing fake love (the new album) at the AMA’s as a comeback
BTS Trash lol I didn’t know there was gonna be a new album! College work got me too busy lmao
BTS Trash BBMA'S *
I've seen a very nice interpretation that the song is about two egos, two sides of himself.
In the lake he saw his face, he said he shouldn't have thrown himself away. Like, there're two sides which one is a fictional idol side and the other is true himself, real side. He gave up on his own voice, that's why reality is silent, the throat in sore and he isn't sure if his voice exist, he can't express himself because of the dominative V ego. He is wondering is he could have make a different choice.
Taehyung always used to tell us about how much he want to be an artist, not just a performer, BTS's artistic project they're executing is pretty strict and it doesn't leave much space for themselves. BTS members treat this project like a mission which deserves sacrificing much other stuff. Like a catholic priest have to quit everything to serve properly to his god. Taehyung is dedicated but he has a huge artistic aspiration. For now he doesn't have the space to grow it.
Generally it's a trailer for "Love Yourself" serie, for the part which will have a darker theme, also the main track will have "Fake love" title, so I guess "Singularity" is about discovering himself either way.
The song is written by RM but he wrote it directly for Taehyung, so this time I'm a bit helpless to say which interpretation is more true.
At the Biggining it's v's hand inside the sleeve btw lol
I waited for this!
The full album with the mv will drop on May 18th and they will also perform at the BBMAs on May 20th. BTS said this album will be darker so you can see why the trailer has sad lyrics but is also very deep.
Album drops may 18 and the comeback is in THE BBMAs ON MAY 20
oh! im exited for that to come out🎉🎉🎉😍
The song speaks on the conflict between the person you actually are vs. The mask you wear in public. That's what's genius about the song and the dance combined. The song is slow and flows evenly whereas the dance is jagged and rough, yet again elaborating on the struggle and conflict between the two personalities.
I love that you guys took the time to discuss the song and video. It’s a very expressive song one theory is that its about having to be a star and giving up your freedom, ideals, and voice as a singer. In the Korean music industry most groups are strictly monitored so they don’t date, use the internet to post things and overall do anything that’s frowned upon. The video is basically saying their true personalities are being suppressed by the fame.
"Singularity" is the name of the song. It's not the title track. "Love Yourself Tear" is the album's name🤗
HE KILLED IT ALL.
THE HARMONIES.
THE DANCE.
THE VISUAL.
THE FEELINGS.
and we got overwhelmed by all the theories.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMEBACK SO BADLY!🖤🇰🇷🙏🏻👑😍🔥
*The song is quite metaphorical and is related to the story behind his music videos. Especially in the depths of darkness, the modest choreography along with a white mask that appears in the middle of the image expresses the act of lying to lie in order to obtain love. The cracked ice, which appears several times in the video, represents the moment when it realizes that it is a false act. You do not necessarily have to talk about love between a man and a woman, you can talk about love in general, between friends, family, etc.*
ngl y'all my new favourite reactors,, i was waiting for this!! wow he was amazing
Love Yourself, "Tear" is the name of their new album that is coming out this Friday 🙌🏾 Patiently waiting for that.... and Singularity is the name of the song... the song has a really deep meaning, I think he is talking about fame and how he has lost his true self, he is not able to show it completely but I'm not sure, there are tons of interpretations out there, all their songs are super deep and connected with one another and I love it and appreciate it
the song has a lot of references to a greek story of Narcissius, a man who loved himself so much and would stare into his reflection everyday until he tried to get too close, fell in the frozen lake, and drowned. a lot of lines relate to this story, while part of it tells of objectification and narcissism. the line “i buried my voice for you” comes off as trying to reach a goal of perfection people have created for him. another factor of the song is confusion, sexualization, self loathing and regret. as the beginning of the song tells, he’s waking up to sounds of this breaking, which this sound is breaking ice, in which ice symbolises the frozen lake in which Narcissius drowned in. the regret part of this is regretting how much time is put into self obsession. along with this obsession comes sexualization and confusion. and another part that comes along with this song is heartbreak, realisation and oppression. the end of the song hints at the realisation that nothing has gone the way he planned initially, which he experiences heartbreak, and oppression (trying to hide his feelings) and the parts where the song hints at loss of voice, it basically means that he wants to know if what his voice has become is what it really is. that might sound confusing but everything he says has become so twisted with all his emotions that he can hardly even understand what hes trying to say and if he really means what he says. the line “i shouldnt have thrown myself away” is regret, again playing in with the Narcissius story, regretting his self obsession. the ending really hints at him being confused, guilty, angry, depressed, etc because all along he had no idea that he couldn’t get what he wanted. the overall story is based on four stages. the first stage is obsession, the second stage is regret and confusion, the third stage is heartbreak and the fourth stage is oppression and guilt.
yeah. thats pretty much what it means
the video and the song ... the dancers everything was so artistic
i feel like it's open to interpretation ... because ppl can relate to each song differently ...and bts makes sure that their music is relatable to everyone.
The album is called love yourself . however there are 4 albums : 1) love yourself "her" which had DNA in it. 2) love yourself "tear"which is coming out on the 18th of May .... we still have 2 more coming soon
The album is dropping on May 18th! Get ready!! People are guessing that he’s singing from the point of view of Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection and drowned in a lake.
Narcissus never drowned he starved to death because he couldn't stop looking at himself and didn't bother to do anything else
BTS taehyung serves up a smooth alt R&B sound on “Singularity.” "A sound of something breaking / I awake from sleep," croons V at the start of the melody jazzy before it evolves into a desperate, reflective tune. "Have I lost myself / Or have I gained you?" he asks. "Tell me if my voice isn't real / If I shouldn't have thrown myself away."The song also features multiple references to lakes, with lyrics that appear to be inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and died because of it. "I suddenly run to the lake / There's my face in it,” he sings. “But in the end spring will come someday / the ice will melt and float away / tell me if my voice isn't real."
You guys said some really good points tbh 👏. My interpretation of the song was that I think the lyrics are trying to talk about how V wanted to hide his true self so he threw his true self in the lake and it froze over. The sound that's haunting him is the sound of ice breaking, his true self trying to break free. At the end he says spring will come again and melt the ice, basically saying how no matter how much he tries to conceal his true identity, his true self will inevitably show- basically talking about the pain in trying to love yourself for who you are, just like how the guy in the white shirt kept mentioning the connection between the album's name ("Love Yourself") & the song itself.
But after watching BTS Burn the Stage ep 7, I agree with a comment I saw because RM himself said that he feels that he has this fake persona that he shows to the public as "RM" but he is very different from "Namjoon." He was like "there's only so much you can show to the public" and I was like what are you saying boii??! But anyways, since he wrote the song, these thoughts of his are probably the message of this song. He even said that this song was written in one go with no rewriting or reviewing so that just shows how much he wanted to express his feelings about this. These thoughts/feelings are probably similar to that of other BTS members.
Edit: ep 6, sorry. Basically he was talking about how him as "Kim Namjoon" is different and enjoys regular things like nature and walking around. And that he didn't have enough time to even live as "Kim Namjoon." The most painfully true thing he said was that "whenever I wear makeup & stand in front of the camera, I don't know to what extent I can be honest because giving ppl the opportunity/room to make controversies & interpretation is what makes a star." He even said "you don't have a choice but to have two identities." Then he began talking about it's a "dilemma" how he invests a lot of time into his identity as bts' "RM" and that he as well as other members need time to be "wholly me, the original me I know" by doing normal people things like reading, walking outside, enjoying nature, etc. Burn the stage honestly has given us so much insight into BTS. Most of us think, oh wouldn't it be great to be famous, but the painful truth is that the life of a celebrity is not so pretty after all. But that's just life. No one can ever be happy for too long. Sadness is inevitable. No one's life is perfect, no matter how much it looks like it.
Black tears can mean losing someone/something close to you, whether that be something in your life is "dying" or a transition of "mourning" to set something aside and move on. BTS always uses symbolism in their videos, which is why there are countless theories. This was the comeback trailer for the upcoming album LY: Tear, which will drop May 18. The song is Singularly. The comeback trailers are the Intros & always done solo by one of the members.
the r&b vibe made you forgot about the subtitles haha
It's about losing himself through self rejection. In the beginning when he rejected his own hand. The mask represented his different faces that were not his real self. The lyrics were he said "tell me if my voice isn't real" " tell me this pain isn't real" he's hiding himself behind the mask and wants someone ( himself) to tell him it's okay.
Basically "LOVE YOURSELF!!!"❤️
Taehyung’s voice is deeper then the ocean😜😍.
V kings I love you! The song is linked to the new album that is linked to the previous songs and mvs. There are many theories.
I've never seen you think so much about the meaning of a song.
Your reactions, are equal to many ARMYS around.
Love Yourself: Tear is the name of the upcoming album of BTS part of the Love Yourself Series (new theme for their continuing storyline and music work) they are doing after HYYH series. The name of this song is actually "Singularity".
WHEN HE SONGS HE MAKES US FEEL WHAT HE IS MEANING HE IS TOO MUCH GOOD
the choreo is amazing and it's choreographed by keone madrid. he also choreographed a couple of other bts songs like Dope, Run, Fire, BS&T, etc
Singularity was written by RM specifically fot V to sing on this comeback trailer for their latest album, Love Yourself: Tear. a comeback trailer is an introduction to the whole album. RM is a genius! BTS is the best! there's nothing like BTS!
the lyrics describes V as the person who uses different faces to other people to be loved hence the masks. the voice and cries he heard was his subconscious that's reminding him of what he's s
doing to himself. V seeing himself.trappes in.the frozen lake symbolizes his real self that he's afraid to show. but spring will come and will melt the eyes that will reveal his true.self.
V killed it! he's perfection! i love V!
The best song Ever
The lyrics is sad just like his solo Stigma.Both RM and V needs a hug...being a kpop star is not easy as people think.
Every comeback they have a comeback trailer which is always the intro of the new album, for Wings it was J- hope "Boy Meets Evil" and then last comeback for Love Yourself:Her it was Jimin "Serendipity and this time it was Taehyubgs so next comeback will either be Jin or Jungkook. Also the next MV that's comes out from BTS will be their title song of the album (or single i guess if you wanna call it that)
Singularity is a beautiful song with V deep voice.
Also RM wrote this song.
V ❤ is the best in everything the best singer the cutest the funniest the best actor 😘 the handsome you have charisma on stage you have the talent your voice is unique and soulful you deserve more than words
I think along with the new album dropping, this is probably the perfect time for you guys to get involved in their “I NEED U” series bc there’s been a storyline since 2015, and it continues into the new album, I believe.
Especially since they’re coming back bigger and ever & that way you’re not confused in the future by some videos. Example: like Euphoria 😂😂😂
The name of their new album is "Love Yourself: Tear." It's the continuation of their last album "Love Yourself: Her." This song is called "Singularity." It's the intro for the new album coming out on May 18th.
Every BTS album has an intro track that just features 1 member, that's why this is just V. It is released early with it's own music video to give us an idea of the sound and look of the new album.
The title track for this album is called "Fake Love." And this album is supposed to a lot darker than we're used to seeing from them.
We believe this is about loving someone or something so much that you lose who you are, sacrificing and changing everything you are, to try to get this person or thing only to discover you've lost everyone and everything including yourself.
ARMY believes this is what the new album is going to be about.
*Taehyung is honestly a work of art (and so are to other members don’t get me wrong) he has nice deep beautiful vocals and this video explains it all*
yes the album (Love Youself : Tear) will drop next week on May 18th :). That song is the intro of the album.
Also, this is going to probably be the intro song on BTS new album which is set to drop on May 18th
Start watching from their 2015 album like the I NEED YOU MV, RUN MV, YOUNG FOREVER MV. Because this has a storyline
Great reaction, thx for appreciating BTS talent
Was waiting for y’alls reaction!! You never know what goes on in RM’s genius mind but I think RM was trying to relay it’s impossible for an idol to have his own voice and be who they really are inside🤭💔. Using V’s beautiful R&B vocals was brilliant!!!! Love you guys😍
Fer O94 thanks for the info♥️. It’s so hard to figure out the meaning of their MV’s
This is the intro trailer that will be included in the new album that coming out may 18. The last album love yourself her had an intro trailer song as well called Serendipity You definitely need to check that out as well! It is so good!
BTS Serendipity Love Yourself Her Trailer MV
Thanks for the reaction and this is the first song rm wrote when he got out of the hospital, he wrote it in one shot without editing. This is a trailer for the new album like j hope’s “boy meets evil” for the wings album and Jimin’s “serendipity” trailer for their previous album “love yourself:her”. The new album releases on the 18th this month and their comeback is at the BBMAS and can u please react to serendipity bts
XX Pool what was he doing in d hospital 💔☹️
Amal Hussein he had surgery I believe, he posted a picture after and if you search it up you’ll find an article about it. It was like in March when he had it or earlier
I love the song! It can really have so many meanings. You can love someone until you lose yourself and then it becomes self destructive. By the way their new album is out on May 18th and they will perform their comeback song at the BBMAs on May 20th. I’m looking forward to it❤️
I love how yall got deep in it and started theories😭 sameeeee😂
THANK you soooo MUCH!!!V KINGS is the only reaction channel I watch.I get soo happy when you react kpop and it’s something we all love and seeing you step into a different music genre makes me love this channel even more.💕💫🤙🏼
Yasssss I feel like I’ve watched this mv five million times lol but the album is called love yourself: tear and the song is called singularity. It’s most likely the intro for the album. Ughhhhh I’m so excited my heart can’t take it lol but I definitely feel like this song has a deep meaning. In my opinion I feel like this song may have something to do with mental illness like depression. Not being able to speak or express in an emotional sense you start to lose yourself and you’re not sure what’s real or not. If you are actually who say that you are. The lake could be a comfort zone (who knows I’m just taking a guess lol) and I think that Tae was talking to himself throughout the song. I could be completely wrong but that’s what I took from it and was able to relate.
Nice reaction guys!!!! Comeback is near so be ready May 18th!!
How dare V disrespect us with a song like that. My weave is nowhere to be found after that. Great reaction! Glad you guys are enjoying more BTS.
Look at my fine Taehyung my bias he always come with the perfect vocal visual King of Flirt his facial apperission make army goes crazy I ain't lying about that go react to Taehyung iconic moments
I like more kpop groups, but when it comes to V OMG his voice is wow and visuals he looks unreal, his dancing skills improved a lot!
OMG YES I WAS WAITING
야나아아아 Remember that reactions should not go up until at least 24 hours after a song drops
Each solo in the love yourself albums are showing their story on how they learned to love themselves and the pain they had to go through in order to do so. At least that’s what RM was quoted to saying in an interview
React to spine breaker by bts it’s hilarious
Emily Blocker They call me, Pepsi
You like Jin? Is that gay?
Prolly, can’t say
😂😂😂😂
Monica Thompson what
Emily Blocker lmao I was gonna say if you listen to the lyrics that’s what it sounds like they’re saying. But I just realized that I’m thinking of a different song, Baespea
I love how you guys are so focused on the song ,, this is the best reaction I’ve seen . 💛✨
It's the Intro for Love Yourself: Tear and the album is dropping on May 18th (Korean Time) but it'll drop on the 17th in America
Perfect statement. If you put the meaning to the side, he was singin'. Just that simple. Don't lose his gift trying to analyze...
My favorite BTS reactors always coming thruuuuu!
Perceptive KINGS come thruuuu 💀
BTS said this new album is gonna be very dark
he is singing about his alter ego..that is not allowing him to be himself n not letting to love himself...the voice/sound he hears is his alter ego
Whoa.. Bam at the end 'he covered his voice can't talk no more.' 💕
The album drops May 18th! Also, try to check out their performance at the BBMAs on may 20th!!
YES THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FORRR
ruth guzman Remember #ARMYs ask that reactions NOT go up until at least 24 hours after a song drops
BTS_NOONASROCK! Ohh I didn’t know sorry 😭 but thank you for the warning 💖
this song alone makes me so happy I get to see them in september, if they do singularity and serendipity.....
taehyung as narcissus in singularity. i don't know if you already read about this ''story'', but a lot off people are talking about this and related this to the song and mv.
YESSS! Thanks so much for watching~
I really love y’all reactions.. I appreciate that you guys genuinely enjoy watching the videos and how real the reactions are. ♥️
I love it how you guys we're so into it at the 1 min or so, no one made a sound.
The album is gonna drop in ten days the whole fandom is hyped af 🤣
the song tells a story about both narcissus and ophelia. ophelia completely gives herself to someone else, while narcissus only loves his own reflection. the story in the song goes from giving yourself to someone else completely but then remembering that loving yourself is more important
When he said have I lost myself or gained you? A place only celebrities can relate very well...
Ye cuz the song Let go I think connects to this with beings alone talking about a break up so he is alone meaning “singularity” and some other crap that had she SHOOK I WAS QUAKING
This mv is part of theories from their past album that will continue in this album... Everything is linked & connected... If you want to understand it more start from start with I need u mv then prologue & run
I love these lyrics. This is what i got from them, (the sound that he's hearing is the end of the relationship or the end of whatever the situation is that he's in, and he's basically saying you can't leave or this cant end, i've given up so much of myself for you/this that i don't even know who i am anymore, (hence the masks) so don't say anything, don't end it yet, things will get better a spring day will come again). Its SOOOO SAD and bittersweet, but i love it. And lets not forget Teahyung's amazing voice and how damn fineeeena he looked in that mv whewww! SLAYED BY ANOTHER BTS COMEBACK TRAILER! #Singularity
i was hoping y'all would react to this! as soon as i got the notification, i clicked 😁
daebak Remember #ARMYs ask that reactions NOT go up until at least 24 hours after a song drops
BTS_NOONASROCK! ? Good thing I'm not ARMY, just a fan.
BTS_NOONASROCK um no honey armys dont say that. We ask that people don't upload the lyric videos until 24 hours after the song drops. Reactions are fine.
YAAAAS !! i've been waiting for this !! thank you !!
The Gucci God my bias Kim Taehyung!!!!!we had a heart attack yesterday!!!!!His voice is really soulful
Tae and squad came to slay this song I know that 👏🏽👏🏽
im so glad you did this!!!!!!
Waited for this reaction💞💞 I think it's about wanted to speak up and smthn related to that of being trapped and silenced because he says he doesn't have a voice and keeps hearing that sound
Thanks guys!!! It's funny bc I was listening to singularity right when this was uploaded!
This song is just too much, I almost died when I heard and watch the video for the first time, and it was hard to understand what he was talking about
I'm really excited for their comeback, I think is going to be like WINGS, Blood Sweet & Tears
Btw, I really love your reactions ❣
(I'm sorry if I write something wrong, I'm not too good at English, but I like to see this kind of videos, cause I can learn more)
What I Know or I think I know is about the lake. When he said he throws himself in and the lake freezes and create a thick ice on top what I think it means that he like shut himself out or like created this "barrier" to hide his feelings to not show his true self. At the end it said spring will come and the ice will melt, to this I see it as that a special someone would get through that barrier and see the real him.
Just a suggestion, but can you guys raise your voice volume? I like to hear your opinions but sometimes I can't hear what you're saying
Samsung Apple Butter Pancake Butt : Or get a microphone and put it in the middle, do not have to be tall.
Kwon 2kim Yeah
Yesss im happy you react to this ...ive been waiting for you guys to react to this 👏👏👏
Thanks guys. It's a sexy soft grooooove song and the meaning can be debated but the main thing is how the music makes you feel.
They always have multiple interpretations of their songs. If you look at the song generally speaking they are talking about how to some degree people where a mask. The one they show to the public & their true face. People wear a mask because they don’t think anybody will love their true selves. So “did I lose myself wearing this mask?” “Or did I gain love?”
You guys make me so happy when you react to bts so thank you for being kpop fans !!!!😊😊😂😂
Their comebacks are always cryptic as hell 😂
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!💜
So many theories, hopefully this album will give some answers(meanwhile)
Bighit: We bout to screw up erybodys summer with these videos🤣
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Oh boyssss y'all fast!!! Thank you!!!
RM wrote this song in right after he got out of the hospital. He used a lot of symbolism from previous albums like spring day and run. So I think it’s about realizing you’re not being true to yourself and being scared of losing yourself. Or some parts could quite literal. Anyways RM had always promised to make an intro song for V and two years later he kept his promise 😊.
After I listened to this song at least a hundred times lol, I've noticed that every phrase is different, you know in the songs usually there's always one phrase that repeats one or more times...but here all the phrases are different like the title says "Singularity". And when I read the lirycs...I don't know but i have the feeling that he's talking to himself, you know when he says: I run to the lake and I see myself mirrored in it- (I don't really remember the lyrics) then there's that part where he says: reach out my hand to cover the mouth- I think that he's talking to himself mirrored in the lake. It's as if in this song there are two V but in reality there's only one "Singularity. I mean it's like the icy lake is the wall that separetes them.
Thank you that you reached the bottom ( ' U ' )
this is my opinion
(I was waiting for your reaction to this THANKS)
also rm wrote this song without a single revision right after he got out of surgery
eva why did rm have to go through surgery
Music Lyrical he had a deviated septum
This is the intro song to their new album. I think this song and video mean that we hide or true self behind masks in order to make other people like us for love us. Talks about being in pain about not having a voice for his opinion heard about losing himself, throwing himself away but hoping for a day when he can be himself. At one point he asks “tell me if I shouldn’t have thrown myself away” “if my voice isn’t real”, That’s if he’s wondering if he should of hidden himself in the beginning. Anyway, it’s all open to interpretation, make your own guess
The album drops on the 18th and they will be on the BBMAs on the 20th!!!
Happy y'all finally posted again much love💕
From my perspective I feel like the song is saying after becoming an idol and a worldwide celebrity he threw his real self and personality away and had a fake face on and as the days went by it hurt more “a thick ice has formed” and when he said “spring will come one day, the ice will melt and flow away” I feel like he was saying he was tired of this fake face he had on and decided to finally be himself again.
