The easiest way to explain this song would be that something/someone was there once and then vanished overnight. It's comparing this song to Pluto since it was considered an actual planet for YEARS until scientists decided that it didn't fit current criteria to be classified as a planet and was therefor re-classified as a dwarf planet. The numbers represent Pluto's "planet destination", and please don't ask what that means since Google wasn't my friend when I looked it up. Random fun fact time: This song along with RM's mixtape song Moonchild and Mikrokosmos were selected by NASA via Twitter to be added into a playlist for astronauts as they went into space sometime in the future.
The number is most likely because at the time of Pluto’s reclassification, it was the 134,340th object, to be “discovered “ in our solar system. Astronomers will number objects they discover instead of trying to come up with millions of names and keeping them all organized.
SUGA about this song: "I wrote lyrics as a metaphor. It's about something being separated from something else". SUGA also shared his draft of "134340" lyrics on twitter. I think it is interesting that he usually handwrites his lyrics on yellow notepads, there is something authentic about it
Definitely one of their less known songs, which is a shame because not only are the lyrics pretty unique, but it shows off a lot of their vocal skills. Whalien52 is another one of those kind of obscure subject matters that they made into a great, highly relatable song! 10/10 would recommend! Thanks for your reaction💜
BTS concerts and muster are 2 different things. A BTS muster is a combination of a concert and fan meeting, hence the more relaxed feel. They also perform more B sides/older songs and their own solo stuff. In previous musters they have skits and games too.
Suga is a genius with this lyrics and I think this song is underrated. The credits are giving to him and nobody else at the lyrics and he talk about this song in a interview, but I don’t remember which. 👍
@@bee12117 But the majoritet of the songs of BTS have different people involved. The credits can be given to many people but in this song, it’s only Suga. 👍

for me, this song holds the meaning of you feeling like pluto. Like based on criteria from people who don't know you or truly know about you they judge you and place you in a category and just as easily discard you. Pluto was a planet and then it wasn't then it was, then it wasn't, just like that. Only because of the judgment of others. I feel like pluto was meant to convey the feelings of pluto who's orbit just for the solar system and wants to be loved by it as much as it loves it but is easily discarded as not important by the one thing they love. We are seeing pluto miss their solar system, shine bright for the solar system, survive as a nameless planet, feel wronged or compared to eris, and all the emotions that come with that metaphor hehe sorry if this doesn't make sense but yeh that was my interpretation of it.
Comparing the reclassification of pluto the redefining a relationship is pure lyrical genius. If ONE person decides it's no longer love, does it change the feelings felt by the other person? BTS are amazing at making us feel new things and Namjoon (RM) is amazing at finding parallels in every day life, he literally looks at things differently than other people do.

Did you hear that Butter took #1 at BB Hot 100 for the fifth consecutive week on Monday? Thus beating the record for most consecutive weeks a group song debuted #1 and remained there ,previously held by Aerosmith 23 years ago.
In this song they are talking about a romantic relationship. BTS makes concept albums, this song belongs to the album "Love Yourself: Tear" from their LOVE YOURSELF era that were 3 albums: The first "Love Yourself: Her" talks about a romantic relationship that is beginning, when everything is perfect, the second album in the series "Love Yourself Tear" contains songs that speak of the dark side of a relationship, (personally I believe each of the songs on this album is a work of art) and the latest album from the series is "Love Yourself: Answer" which is pretty much a compilation of the previous two albums with songs that tie the three albums together and a final self-love song ... it's breathtakingly creative the way these albums came out and if you listen "Love Yourself Answer" from beginning to end in order will be enough to understand that "era" of BTS.
@@charnight181 it is part of the love Yourself trilogy And this song is from the tear album.... which is essentially about heartbreak and breakup. So it is about a relationship but .... The relationship can be anything between you and your lover or loved ones or even yourself. That's how rm described the album.
This song was released on their album love yourself tear where the concept is about the end of relationships so it’s not for army like 2!3! Or magic shop is for army, it’s exploring an aspect of the end of a relationship through the metaphor of Pluto. A lot of their albums ar concept albums where to understand the full story you have to listen to the full album because each song will take the story or concept a bit further it’s super interesting how they do that making the songs both stand alone and interconnected. Bts do their concerts alone with multiple costume changes and set designs so they were most likely going to perform other songs, they do have songs that they use to close the show the last one was microcosmos idk which song they used to end the love yourself tour but it’s generally something more hopeful. I don’t think you can really use the muster as a benchmark for what a bts concert is like because musters are special gifts to army where bts will do more activities and sing songs they don’t normally sing and do things that they know will please army. While concerts are more for performing their set lists. Though they do still have moments in the concerts where they talk to army and it does get pretty emotional 😭 But from what I’ve seen musters are a little more sillier and concerts are more intense!
It is a great reflex to think that the song isn't a love song, most of their songs aren't, even if they might seem so at the beginning. That being said, this one is probably about a romantic relationship xD We tend to judge the meaning by its placement in their discography and the placement on the album itself - I also think Suga's verse is telling on it. P.S. This is my favorite song from them sonically, it's considered acid jazz. Fairly simple, with just an overarching allegory being very interesting and unique. It reminds me of Whalien 52 in the style of creation. Favorite line being JHope's 'now I'm just (a bunch of) numbers for you' and 'numbers were always hard for you to remember'
BTS has a lot of songs that explore relationships and love, this is one of them. I love this song. I think a lot of people can relate to a relationship just disappearing and one person is left with the aftermath of the depature. And your right BTS can take some of the most unsual topics and use them as a metaphor for emotions, like in Whalien 52. Absolute genius! The Genius Lab is the name of Suga's studio btw.
This song, and the whole album it's from - Love Yourself: Tear - is amazing. Yes, as a relatively new ARMY myself, I must say discovering this kind of songs besides the big hits really amazes me every single time 💜
I love this song but it’s one of their less popular songs. Is this considered jazz and/or ambient music? NASA added this to their Moon Tunes playlist. This, Mikrokosmos and Moonchild. The recorded version sounds like you’re in outer space. Really cool. They have a lot of great songs. Some of my faves that I recommend you to check out are Truth Untold (lyrics), Black Swan MV and On Kinetic Manifesto MV.
The Bangtan Boys just so love of performing, seeing the ARMYs enjoying with them and happy, thats their most happiest and for them that's the goal. Accolades and topping charts are just a bonus for them that's why no pressure. They love what they're doing and they want ARMYs to feel that with them. 😊🥰That's BTS, that's why they're so love💜
Great reaction as always!! This song is part of their love yourself series (specifically love yourself: tear) and fits into the timeline of those 3 albums...falling in love, realizing that the love isnt good for either partner, and then finally loving yourself. So, in that, it's probably about losing a relationship which is what a lot of love yourself: tear focuses on. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's time for bed for me 😅
When BTS returns to live concerts, you have got to attend. Their live concerts will spoil you for other artists concerts. BTS is an experience 💜that gives you your money worth of excitement.
I know Army always like to say that BTS's songs are about Army, and while a lot of them are, that kind of interpretation can sometimes take away from other, more straightforward meanings of the songs. In my opinion, this is just a love/ breakup song about an unknown person who one day just left the relationship and disappeared. We don't really need to know their own personal relationships or be told about their love lives in order to resonate with the song's story
The song is from their Love Yourself:Tear album. I don't think the reference in Suga's verse has any direct meaning other than his own personal experience that we don't know about. This performance is from their Muster concert in 2019, which is a fan meeting event. They perform more of their B-side songs during fan-meeting events.
You should react to Agust D (Suga) music. The lyrics are very deep and really showcases his him as a person and the emotions he was going through at the time!
I think it's comparing Plutos' state to a relationship after a break up. Both persons that were together now live their own lives, maybe passing by each other sometimes, but it's no longer the same. It's a beautiful metaphor, using Pluto and the solar system as past lovers, and dwarf planet Eris being the downfall of their relationship. Pluto, now nameless, still circles around, lost his importantce to the solar system, but still existing..
They usually present less known songs from their albums at Musters (big fan meetings with much less audiences than concerts). They talk, tell stories, play games and be more playful and much less formal at Musters than concerts.
Sometimes BTS's lyrics are pretty hard to decipher since they're very poetic and wordplay-heavy. This song is part of their album, Love Yourself: Tear which mainly talks about the darker sides of love. The song, 134340 is a big whole metaphor of how a person pours all their efforts and love into someone (I just keep orbiting around you) to only to be forgotten in the end. My favourite line was from RM's verse, "Us is just a plural of U" The person on the recieving end only cared about themselves while the giver spent all their love until they had none for themselves. It's really clever but the meaning is pitiful and sad. The giver looses their name and identity after changing themselves for that person. After being forgotten, they feel lost and confused because they just separated from whoever they spent all their love on. The flute and the echo in the background vocals gives out this other wordly feeling and melancholy which makes this song a masterpiece.
143430 is a track on Love Youself: Tear album. The overall theme being the pain of splitting, coming apart in evolving relationships, this song is about being rejected/ejected from a relationship, being denied any status or importance, while still orbiting that person. The comparison is spot on: just like Pluto lost its name overnight, relegated to a non-planet in the solar system, being ignored is as good as becoming nameless (unseen).
Yeah, it always boggles my mind how they think to tie together these metaphors. Some more background: this song is from their Love Yourself: Tear album, which is part of the Love Yourself album series. The series starts with LY: Her with it's single DNA, and is about the start of a powerful, consuming, almost fated love. LY: Tear with Fake Love as it's single is about the breakdown of that relationship, realizing that any love that would want you to change yourself is fake. Most of the songs including 134340 are about the messy break up and the lingering emotions. It finally ends with LY: Answer with the lead single Idol and it's anthem of "You can't stop me (from) loving myself!" Through that album, we reach the epiphany in Jin's Epiphany that we should first learn to love ourselves, that we can't truly love others or be loved without doing so. The series ends with the song Answer: Love Myself (one of my faves!), and that "I'm learning how to love myself."
One of my favorites that I love. I would have loved to hear this live at the concert. It's such a vibe and the boys in this live performance all look so princely in their designer tops. When I listen to this song, sometimes I imagine one of the future ARMY astronaut playing this song as they fly into space. Come on future ARMY astronauts! Let's make that happen! It's BTS TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!😄💜
they make a lot of orbiting references in this song because of Pluto but what I like to think is that later Jin takes references from this song for his solo song Moon for a few lyrics inside his song but this could just be late night theories that don't make sense.... who knows!
I like that theory! He mentions orbiting/circling again in his song Abyss! I think RM helped with the chorus, which is where it is mentioned, so maybe he thought of that, and maybe it’s completely unrelated to Moon and Pluto, but it’s definitely a kind of recurring theme!
This song is so under appreciated sadly... It's one of my favourite songs by them. It's from the "Love Yourself: Tear" album released in 2018 and that whole album is just a BIG Masterpiece!! It really has a special place in my heart :)
Hi... I had written a big comment but my system shut down and I lost it....yikes anyways, 35th viewer! I absolutely agree, They make a topic, which seems impossible to fit it in a song and mean soo much, possible! This song is one of my favourites! The "missing you" was just a part of the lyrics (I'll explain it below) . It is one of their b-sides from the Love Yourself: Tear album. This performance is from the 5th muster. I believe right before that was the Speak Yourself tour. So there wasn't much of a time-lapse. Summary of the Love Yourself series: The first part, Love Yourself: Her is about being in a relationship [Love or friendship], being happy and wanting to please other ("I can be anything you want to be" vibes) The second part, Love Yourself: Tear is about the uneasiness and discontent of being a fake persona just to please others. And when they try to show their true selves, the people in the relationship drift away (which is where the lyrics fit in). The third part is the Love Yourself: Answer , where they realize "One should truly love themselves in order to love others" - Kim Namjoon. This is what they promoted and campaigned at the UNICEF. I'd like to suggest something, instead of randomly reacting to the videos, why don't you start reacting songs from their recent album BE ? And you could slowly move backwards. It would be more orderly, from my pov... Anyways, I love watching your channel! I wait for reactions to come out haha... And I hope you read this comment coz I retyped the whole thing 😅😅
They did this as well with Whalien 52, the song inspired by the loneliest whale in the world. A documentary is coming out about the whale so it's a good time to get acquainted with that song as well because ARMYs are supported that project too.
This song was performed for the first time at the 5th Muster in 2019 and this performance was from the 5th Muster in Japan in December 2019 and the 4th song on the setlist of a total 17 songs. Muster is the name of BTS's fanmeeting concert, not regular concert. This fanmeeting concert can only be attended by ARMY with an official ARMY membership which you can buy on their Weverse Shop app. Now with the pandemic non-membership holders can buy a ticket as well for the Muster concert. Also this fanmeeting concert are only held in Japan & South Korea since there were only 2 ARMY memberships before we have the current Global Memberships: Japan Fanclub membership for only Japanese ARMY aka J-ARMY & Korean Fancafe membership for Korean ARMY aka K-ARMY aka K-Diamonds (we international ARMY have a nickname too: I-Lovelies) so there were not a lot of international ARMY at the Muster. Now with the global memberships available for everyone, every ARMY with a membership can attend the Muster which was exclusively for J-ARMY & K-ARMY before.
Hello, thank you for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the performances of Diana Ankudinova. This is a young singer, she has covers of famous songs, as well as her own songs.
You might don’t believe it, but a lot of people became their fans because of their lyrics, including me :) Dope was my first song that I watch the mv and read the lyrics. First time saw it I think they are really cool, and the music is great. But what makes me decided to look them up more is because their lyrics. At first I thought Dope was just like other hip song that artists make just for dancing in the club, music that only to get viral just because the up beat type of music. But wow the lyrics is so awesome about their hard working. And after that, I get to know more about their more awesome lyrics in their other songs. Been an army for almost 5 years now :)
This song talks about a relationship (where one person suddenly erased the other from their life, it could be any type of relationship really but to me it’s more a romantic relationship or a close friendship
I think the easiest way to explain it is if Pluto and the 🌞 had a relationship that has ended. Since they have to orbit like before at some point they have to be closer at some point. When they almost forgetting each other.
Yes, BTS are geniuses. They’re amazing like that! Have you reacted to BTS’ Whalien 52 yet? It’s about a unique whale, another metaphor for BTS and ARMYs. BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS!
Lol I don’t remember this exact concert but there wasn’t that big of a gap between this and their previous concerts I don’t think… I’m not sure though so someone will have to check me on that. Also please react to the “the writing styles of bts” by mera. It’s a really great video that deeply breaks down each members lyrics and you can hear a lot of clips from various solo songs and group songs that aren’t as frequently reacted to. Thank you so much for your reactions!!!
Also another great song that takes something small and creates a huge metaphor for them is definitely Whalien 52 which is an older song that I still love. I remember crying when it came out. It’s based on the 52 hertz whale which has a different frequency from other whales so they can’t hear it song and it’s all alone… it’s sad but good
You're right, this performance is from their 5th muster (Japan Edition) so it was either in November or December of 2019 while their final concert was in October (😥) And I would also love to see him react to the video you've mentioned! He already learned a lot about them but their writing style definitely adds a ton to them as individuals.
Wow I’m in love with your videos! I love how you can interpret the lyrics and connect them! I really look forward to your journey with BTS 🥰 There is a video called ‘The writing styles of Bts’ by a channel names mera! It can give more insight on the way they create their music and sneak peaks to the b-sides and solo project if you’d be interested in that!
Its funny how 90% of all BTSs great lyrics seems to have come from RMs world of imagination.. there are so many instances where he has just said something off topic and then its later on being used as a real lyrics for a song, effortless.. also, just seein how much he helps/advices the members with different lyrics, i doubt he is even credited "officially" every single time.
I really like this song, and the metaphor is so beautifully crafted. Then the producing gives it such a wonderful eerie space feeling, that also seems to imply a sense of internal emptiness/loneliness.
I didn't actually see the lyrics about the "one year since" but because this is from their 5th Muster, their more exclusive Fan concerts with other content than just performing and a little talk, I think it could be because the last Muster is one-year apart from the 5th (I'm also sorry if my English is crap)
Between your journey with BTS, why don't you check out their BEST live performance 2019 MMA 40min. I am sure it will light up you more about them. Wonder why you react this performance since this was one of their "normal" (of course always good in all shape, but) one. Hope you check 2019 MMA. Have to watch the whole 40 min. The last 20 min is the pure jewel. I am sure it would not be a spoiler for you. They put all songs and performance in a different way.
idk i think live performances hit harder when you actually know the songs already and see how good they actually sound live. and you can also pay attention to something other than hearing the song for the first time :)
They are so relax and in the zone while on stage you can just feel they are having fun (and you haven't seen Anpanman live stage yet to see the full picture of them being like in a playground lol)
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Love this song. It's so beautiful. Very unique too. Feels jazz like. =0) So glad you liked it. I never remember that the numbers mean the planet, lol. 134340 (Pluto) Hugs.-baby ARMY NY USA 💜
I came to your channel for the Blackpink reactions (been a Blink for years) and I have stayed for your BTS reactions. I never really cared for BTS as it always seemed like they were Blackpink's biggest competitor and I only saw a small fraction of their fanbase, the more unfavorable bits. Finally today I have caught up with your BTS reactions thus far and I can't wait to continue this journey with you. Watching alongside you has changed my opinion on BTS 180 degrees. Like you originally thought, I figured there wasn't much to their music, it was just feel good stuff. I've now come to appreciate the feel good stuff for what it was, and the time that it was released in. And now through your reactions and digging deeper into their past and more meaningful music, I have a much deeper appreciation for them and I am proud to declare myself a baby ARMY as well. I'm going to try and go on this journey with you, it only feels right. P.S. Thank you for the great positivity that is your channel in general. I've watched basically all your Kpop and acapella content now and I look forward for more BTS, BP, RV and Twice content avidly!
You should check up all the trilogy: Love Yourself to understand the whole concept. I recommend you to look up Paradise, from Love Yourself tear as well.
Such an amazing song that is sometimes forgotten about. So glad you really liked it! They are so amazing in their live stuff and they always feel whatever song they are singing so well. For example (you don't have to watch this) when they sing Pied Piper on stage its * chef's kiss* (Lol that song is about how we should study instead of watching their videos and stuff but how at the end of the day they will be safe space for us to come to and relax)
Think this was 2019 muster maybe. So they were singing a lot of songs from love yourself series and some older ones. Their musters are way more laid back.
Each of the rappers writes their own verses. For this song, RM is also credited as the main songwriter from the group. Not only does he write his rap parts, he also writes alot of their songs with JHope and Suga. BTW this song is going into space into 2024! ua-cam.com/video/Q_653LAeTtE/v-deo.html
Nope! This is about a relationship! The members usually specially mention which songs are for army, but if the lyrics are romantic, unless told otherwise, the song revolves around the concept of love of some sorts. BTS are great on how they play around with this topic- ex here in 134340.
I love this song also Whalien 52 And my friend laughed when I told her my take on this one.. Like what if another one who shines brighter comes oneday, would the new one replace them in our hearts? It can talk about them and ARMY or another kind of relationship This is just the start of the show and they are going on the 1st break
148 was RMs IQ when he was tested at the beginning of high school. It’s higher now, though I don’t know the number. I think it might be in the 160s. For reference, Einstein and Stephen Hawking were around 160.
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance

Pluto was reclassified as an asteroid, therefore the number as opposed to a name. It was previously classified as a planet.
I think the number is probably smth to do with how far away it is from the earth or sun
The number is most likely because at the time of Pluto’s reclassification, it was the 134,340th object, to be “discovered “ in our solar system. Astronomers will number objects they discover instead of trying to come up with millions of names and keeping them all organized.

for me, this song holds the meaning of you feeling like pluto. Like based on criteria from people who don't know you or truly know about you they judge you and place you in a category and just as easily discard you. Pluto was a planet and then it wasn't then it was, then it wasn't, just like that. Only because of the judgment of others. I feel like pluto was meant to convey the feelings of pluto who's orbit just for the solar system and wants to be loved by it as much as it loves it but is easily discarded as not important by the one thing they love. We are seeing pluto miss their solar system, shine bright for the solar system, survive as a nameless planet, feel wronged or compared to eris, and all the emotions that come with that metaphor hehe sorry if this doesn't make sense but yeh that was my interpretation of it.
Honestly totally agree with your perception of this song, well said!
i so agree with you
I love this explanation! Perfect 🤍
This is one of my favourite tracks but is so often forgotten. The lyrics that Suga wrote here are so clever. Both he and Namjoon are master lyricists.
SUGA's verse is so good and Jin's voice is gorgeous
True.
"with a number that's too hard for you to remember, Pluto remains in the darkness"
I find this J-Hope's line sad but funny at the same time heh
This song is so underrated yet a masterpiece💜
What other group has writers and lyricists that can give such an otherworldly feel and longing to a rock? I love this thing!
Comparing the reclassification of pluto the redefining a relationship is pure lyrical genius. If ONE person decides it's no longer love, does it change the feelings felt by the other person? BTS are amazing at making us feel new things and Namjoon (RM) is amazing at finding parallels in every day life, he literally looks at things differently than other people do.

The year without us refers to the fact that it takes Pluto a year to revolve around the sun and come back near earth.

That being said, this one is probably about a romantic relationship xD We tend to judge the meaning by its placement in their discography and the placement on the album itself - I also think Suga's verse is telling on it.
P.S. This is my favorite song from them sonically, it's considered acid jazz. Fairly simple, with just an overarching allegory being very interesting and unique. It reminds me of Whalien 52 in the style of creation. Favorite line being JHope's 'now I'm just (a bunch of) numbers for you' and 'numbers were always hard for you to remember'
BTS has a lot of songs that explore relationships and love, this is one of them. I love this song. I think a lot of people can relate to a relationship just disappearing and one person is left with the aftermath of the depature. And your right BTS can take some of the most unsual topics and use them as a metaphor for emotions, like in Whalien 52. Absolute genius! The Genius Lab is the name of Suga's studio btw.
This song, and the whole album it's from - Love Yourself: Tear - is amazing. Yes, as a relatively new ARMY myself, I must say discovering this kind of songs besides the big hits really amazes me every single time 💜
in the future i hope we can have a watch party where we can watch together their concert or muster. (they have different concept)
JIN JIN JIN POTENCIA Y PERFECCION👏💜🇦🇷
I love this song but it’s one of their less popular songs. Is this considered jazz and/or ambient music? NASA added this to their Moon Tunes playlist. This, Mikrokosmos and Moonchild. The recorded version sounds like you’re in outer space. Really cool. They have a lot of great songs. Some of my faves that I recommend you to check out are Truth Untold (lyrics), Black Swan MV and On Kinetic Manifesto MV.
This is one of my favourite bts songs. This is so underrated. Genius song writing
The Bangtan Boys just so love of performing, seeing the ARMYs enjoying with them and happy, thats their most happiest and for them that's the goal. Accolades and topping charts are just a bonus for them that's why no pressure. They love what they're doing and they want ARMYs to feel that with them. 😊🥰That's BTS, that's why they're so love💜
Great reaction as always!! This song is part of their love yourself series (specifically love yourself: tear) and fits into the timeline of those 3 albums...falling in love, realizing that the love isnt good for either partner, and then finally loving yourself. So, in that, it's probably about losing a relationship which is what a lot of love yourself: tear focuses on.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's time for bed for me 😅
When BTS returns to live concerts, you have got to attend. Their live concerts will spoil you for other artists concerts. BTS is an experience 💜that gives you your money worth of excitement.
I know Army always like to say that BTS's songs are about Army, and while a lot of them are, that kind of interpretation can sometimes take away from other, more straightforward meanings of the songs. In my opinion, this is just a love/ breakup song about an unknown person who one day just left the relationship and disappeared. We don't really need to know their own personal relationships or be told about their love lives in order to resonate with the song's story
Pluto got ghosted
@@sweeneyteng6658 Basically. 😅
The song is from their Love Yourself:Tear album. I don't think the reference in Suga's verse has any direct meaning other than his own personal experience that we don't know about. This performance is from their Muster concert in 2019, which is a fan meeting event. They perform more of their B-side songs during fan-meeting events.
You should react to Agust D (Suga) music. The lyrics are very deep and really showcases his him as a person and the emotions he was going through at the time!
I think it's comparing Plutos' state to a relationship after a break up. Both persons that were together now live their own lives, maybe passing by each other sometimes, but it's no longer the same. It's a beautiful metaphor, using Pluto and the solar system as past lovers, and dwarf planet Eris being the downfall of their relationship. Pluto, now nameless, still circles around, lost his importantce to the solar system, but still existing..
They usually present less known songs from their albums at Musters (big fan meetings with much less audiences than concerts). They talk, tell stories, play games and be more playful and much less formal at Musters than concerts.
Sometimes BTS's lyrics are pretty hard to decipher since they're very poetic and wordplay-heavy.
This song is part of their album, Love Yourself: Tear which mainly talks about the darker sides of love.
The song, 134340 is a big whole metaphor of how a person pours all their efforts and love into someone (I just keep orbiting around you) to only to be forgotten in the end.
My favourite line was from RM's verse, "Us is just a plural of U" The person on the recieving end only cared about themselves while the giver spent all their love until they had none for themselves. It's really clever but the meaning is pitiful and sad.
The giver looses their name and identity after changing themselves for that person. After being forgotten, they feel lost and confused because they just separated from whoever they spent all their love on.
The flute and the echo in the background vocals gives out this other wordly feeling and melancholy which makes this song a masterpiece.
143430 is a track on Love Youself: Tear album. The overall theme being the pain of splitting, coming apart in evolving relationships, this song is about being rejected/ejected from a relationship, being denied any status or importance, while still orbiting that person. The comparison is spot on: just like Pluto lost its name overnight, relegated to a non-planet in the solar system, being ignored is as good as becoming nameless (unseen).
Yeah, it always boggles my mind how they think to tie together these metaphors.
Some more background: this song is from their Love Yourself: Tear album, which is part of the Love Yourself album series. The series starts with LY: Her with it's single DNA, and is about the start of a powerful, consuming, almost fated love. LY: Tear with Fake Love as it's single is about the breakdown of that relationship, realizing that any love that would want you to change yourself is fake. Most of the songs including 134340 are about the messy break up and the lingering emotions. It finally ends with LY: Answer with the lead single Idol and it's anthem of "You can't stop me (from) loving myself!" Through that album, we reach the epiphany in Jin's Epiphany that we should first learn to love ourselves, that we can't truly love others or be loved without doing so. The series ends with the song Answer: Love Myself (one of my faves!), and that "I'm learning how to love myself."
One of my favorites that I love. I would have loved to hear this live at the concert. It's such a vibe and the boys in this live performance all look so princely in their designer tops.
When I listen to this song, sometimes I imagine one of the future ARMY astronaut playing this song as they fly into space. Come on future ARMY astronauts! Let's make that happen! It's BTS TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!😄💜
V was feeling himself so much 😭 i love V’s deep voice so much god 😫
Thank you for this reaction! I love this song so much, honestly their Love Yourself: Tear album is one of my absolute favorite albums!
it is concept of the album -- LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR. YOU SHOULD HEAR ALL OF THE SONG THERE. MASTERPIECE
One of my favorites. I love this song.
one of my all time fave bts songs and honestly sooo underrated since they have only performed it a few times! its sooo good
they make a lot of orbiting references in this song because of Pluto but what I like to think is that later Jin takes references from this song for his solo song Moon for a few lyrics inside his song but this could just be late night theories that don't make sense.... who knows!
I like that theory! He mentions orbiting/circling again in his song Abyss! I think RM helped with the chorus, which is where it is mentioned, so maybe he thought of that, and maybe it’s completely unrelated to Moon and Pluto, but it’s definitely a kind of recurring theme!
This song is so under appreciated sadly... It's one of my favourite songs by them. It's from the "Love Yourself: Tear" album released in 2018 and that whole album is just a BIG Masterpiece!! It really has a special place in my heart :)
Hi... I had written a big comment but my system shut down and I lost it....yikes
anyways, 35th viewer!
I absolutely agree, They make a topic, which seems impossible to fit it in a song and mean soo much, possible! This song is one of my favourites!
The "missing you" was just a part of the lyrics (I'll explain it below) . It is one of their b-sides from the Love Yourself: Tear album. This performance is from the 5th muster. I believe right before that was the Speak Yourself tour. So there wasn't much of a time-lapse.
Summary of the Love Yourself series:
The first part, Love Yourself: Her is about being in a relationship [Love or friendship], being happy and wanting to please other ("I can be anything you want to be" vibes) The second part, Love Yourself: Tear is about the uneasiness and discontent of being a fake persona just to please others. And when they try to show their true selves, the people in the relationship drift away (which is where the lyrics fit in). The third part is the Love Yourself: Answer , where they realize "One should truly love themselves in order to love others" - Kim Namjoon. This is what they promoted and campaigned at the UNICEF.
I'd like to suggest something, instead of randomly reacting to the videos, why don't you start reacting songs from their recent album BE ? And you could slowly move backwards. It would be more orderly, from my pov...
Anyways, I love watching your channel! I wait for reactions to come out haha... And I hope you read this comment coz I retyped the whole thing 😅😅
very beautiful lyrics!
They did this as well with Whalien 52, the song inspired by the loneliest whale in the world. A documentary is coming out about the whale so it's a good time to get acquainted with that song as well because ARMYs are supported that project too.
This song has so many goddamn layers it's like an onion.
This is one of my favorite songs
my favorite song
This song was performed for the first time at the 5th Muster in 2019 and this performance was from the 5th Muster in Japan in December 2019 and the 4th song on the setlist of a total 17 songs. Muster is the name of BTS's fanmeeting concert, not regular concert. This fanmeeting concert can only be attended by ARMY with an official ARMY membership which you can buy on their Weverse Shop app. Now with the pandemic non-membership holders can buy a ticket as well for the Muster concert.
Also this fanmeeting concert are only held in Japan & South Korea since there were only 2 ARMY memberships before we have the current Global Memberships: Japan Fanclub membership for only Japanese ARMY aka J-ARMY & Korean Fancafe membership for Korean ARMY aka K-ARMY aka K-Diamonds (we international ARMY have a nickname too: I-Lovelies) so there were not a lot of international ARMY at the Muster. Now with the global memberships available for everyone, every ARMY with a membership can attend the Muster which was exclusively for J-ARMY & K-ARMY before.
I'm an ARMY, but it's my first time listening to this song.
BTW I recommend you to react
BTS-Dope
Hello, thank you for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the performances of Diana Ankudinova. This is a young singer, she has covers of famous songs, as well as her own songs.
You might don’t believe it, but a lot of people became their fans because of their lyrics, including me :) Dope was my first song that I watch the mv and read the lyrics. First time saw it I think they are really cool, and the music is great. But what makes me decided to look them up more is because their lyrics. At first I thought Dope was just like other hip song that artists make just for dancing in the club, music that only to get viral just because the up beat type of music. But wow the lyrics is so awesome about their hard working. And after that, I get to know more about their more awesome lyrics in their other songs. Been an army for almost 5 years now :)
It’s a fun, cool song! Glad you enjoyed it 💜💜💜
This song talks about a relationship (where one person suddenly erased the other from their life, it could be any type of relationship really but to me it’s more a romantic relationship or a close friendship
BTS songs that bring me to my knees lyrically are:
1. 134340 (Pluto)
2. Sea
3. Whalien 52
I think the easiest way to explain it is if Pluto and the 🌞 had a relationship that has ended. Since they have to orbit like before at some point they have to be closer at some point. When they almost forgetting each other.
Yes, BTS are geniuses. They’re amazing like that! Have you reacted to BTS’ Whalien 52 yet? It’s about a unique whale, another metaphor for BTS and ARMYs. BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS!
I personally think they were on tour for so long and missed there family so some references of not seeing them for a year is related to that too
"Us is the plural form of U" is to this day the best song lyric I have ever heard. The layers to this phrase are insane...
Lol I don’t remember this exact concert but there wasn’t that big of a gap between this and their previous concerts I don’t think… I’m not sure though so someone will have to check me on that. Also please react to the “the writing styles of bts” by mera. It’s a really great video that deeply breaks down each members lyrics and you can hear a lot of clips from various solo songs and group songs that aren’t as frequently reacted to. Thank you so much for your reactions!!!
Also another great song that takes something small and creates a huge metaphor for them is definitely Whalien 52 which is an older song that I still love. I remember crying when it came out. It’s based on the 52 hertz whale which has a different frequency from other whales so they can’t hear it song and it’s all alone… it’s sad but good
You're right, this performance is from their 5th muster (Japan Edition) so it was either in November or December of 2019 while their final concert was in October (😥) And I would also love to see him react to the video you've mentioned! He already learned a lot about them but their writing style definitely adds a ton to them as individuals.
Wow I’m in love with your videos! I love how you can interpret the lyrics and connect them! I really look forward to your journey with BTS 🥰 There is a video called ‘The writing styles of Bts’ by a channel names mera! It can give more insight on the way they create their music and sneak peaks to the b-sides and solo project if you’d be interested in that!
Congratulations BTS and Armyyy, "Butter 5th #1 Week on BBHot100!"😲👏🕺🎶🎤👑🌎🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥳🎉🎊 #SpreadTheButter
I never heard this song before😋
Its funny how 90% of all BTSs great lyrics seems to have come from RMs world of imagination.. there are so many instances where he has just said something off topic and then its later on being used as a real lyrics for a song, effortless.. also, just seein how much he helps/advices the members with different lyrics, i doubt he is even credited "officially" every single time.
BTS always better live!!! Beautiful song! Smooth, disco vibes!! 💜
This song is beautiful as it has its own aesthetic to it
It's not for fans but yeah it's definitely is to explain the feelings of being lost and betrayed by the ones you love in this case it's sun.
I love this song, the vocals I absolutely loved. Thank you for continuing to learn more about them.💜💜💜💜
That performance 5muster Magic Shop opening song its Home,134340&Love Maze
That yeah from v is so cool😂
I really like this song, and the metaphor is so beautifully crafted. Then the producing gives it such a wonderful eerie space feeling, that also seems to imply a sense of internal emptiness/loneliness.
I didn't actually see the lyrics about the "one year since" but because this is from their 5th Muster, their more exclusive Fan concerts with other content than just performing and a little talk, I think it could be because the last Muster is one-year apart from the 5th
(I'm also sorry if my English is crap)
BTS Muster and BTS Concert have different concept.
ohhh...one of my favorite song thanks for reacting to it and the other one is 2!3! Check it out...love your cute dancing reaction lol...borahae 💜💜💜
Between your journey with BTS, why don't you check out their BEST live performance 2019 MMA 40min. I am sure it will light up you more about them. Wonder why you react this performance since this was one of their "normal" (of course always good in all shape, but) one. Hope you check 2019 MMA. Have to watch the whole 40 min. The last 20 min is the pure jewel. I am sure it would not be a spoiler for you. They put all songs and performance in a different way.
He watched this one because it was requested by someone during his live stream!
@@rachiepants3408 Oh I didn't know that :)
idk i think live performances hit harder when you actually know the songs already and see how good they actually sound live. and you can also pay attention to something other than hearing the song for the first time :)
They are so relax and in the zone while on stage you can just feel they are having fun (and you haven't seen Anpanman live stage yet to see the full picture of them being like in a playground lol)
This is one of my most favourite bts songs! 💜
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Love this song. It's so beautiful. Very unique too. Feels jazz like. =0) So glad you liked it. I never remember that the numbers mean the planet, lol. 134340 (Pluto) Hugs.-baby ARMY NY USA 💜
Muster concert was more chill with them sitting and talking because it's actually not a normal concert. It's a fan meeting.. :)
I came to your channel for the Blackpink reactions (been a Blink for years) and I have stayed for your BTS reactions. I never really cared for BTS as it always seemed like they were Blackpink's biggest competitor and I only saw a small fraction of their fanbase, the more unfavorable bits. Finally today I have caught up with your BTS reactions thus far and I can't wait to continue this journey with you. Watching alongside you has changed my opinion on BTS 180 degrees. Like you originally thought, I figured there wasn't much to their music, it was just feel good stuff. I've now come to appreciate the feel good stuff for what it was, and the time that it was released in. And now through your reactions and digging deeper into their past and more meaningful music, I have a much deeper appreciation for them and I am proud to declare myself a baby ARMY as well. I'm going to try and go on this journey with you, it only feels right.
P.S. Thank you for the great positivity that is your channel in general. I've watched basically all your Kpop and acapella content now and I look forward for more BTS, BP, RV and Twice content avidly!
You should check up all the trilogy: Love Yourself to understand the whole concept. I recommend you to look up Paradise, from Love Yourself tear as well.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jin always amaze me
Such an amazing song that is sometimes forgotten about. So glad you really liked it! They are so amazing in their live stuff and they always feel whatever song they are singing so well. For example (you don't have to watch this) when they sing Pied Piper on stage its * chef's kiss* (Lol that song is about how we should study instead of watching their videos and stuff but how at the end of the day they will be safe space for us to come to and relax)
I almost missed this one. Thanks for the notif YT 🙄
Great video!
PS: Remember this date: July 9th. BTS new song 'Permission to dance ' will out ;)
Think this was 2019 muster maybe. So they were singing a lot of songs from love yourself series and some older ones. Their musters are way more laid back.
Each of the rappers writes their own verses. For this song, RM is also credited as the main songwriter from the group. Not only does he write his rap parts, he also writes alot of their songs with JHope and Suga. BTW this song is going into space into 2024! ua-cam.com/video/Q_653LAeTtE/v-deo.html
Nope! This is about a relationship! The members usually specially mention which songs are for army, but if the lyrics are romantic, unless told otherwise, the song revolves around the concept of love of some sorts. BTS are great on how they play around with this topic- ex here in 134340.
I love this song also Whalien 52
And my friend laughed when I told her my take on this one..
Like what if another one who shines brighter comes oneday, would the new one replace them in our hearts?
It can talk about them and ARMY or another kind of relationship
This is just the start of the show and they are going on the 1st break
Wings live tour final Seoul
148 was RMs IQ when he was tested at the beginning of high school. It’s higher now, though I don’t know the number. I think it might be in the 160s.
For reference, Einstein and Stephen Hawking were around 160.
I like request "the truth untold" live version.
im curious of your reaction to this song... i'll be back after my Korean class!,
i love your tee shirt (where did you get it) 😊
as always loved your reaction too💜
