  • Fire is widely known to be an encouragement to live your life as you want. But then, there is another layer to this song, if you dig into the Korean lyrics and the music video.

    can be interpreted in two diff ways, addressing the audience vs. haters. Got any questions about the Korean lyrics? Ask away!

      I just wanted to say in the end of the mv, they are people holding them in a concert or something like that..Who are these people suddosed to be Are they Army or are they the haters? Because they are again wearing black hoddies
      Btw the video is really awesome I would like to see more content like this especially since the video isn't too long and its from a Korean ^^
      Thanks again 💜💜💫

    That's really cool, your explanation of suga's bultaoreune was interesting, it made it more sence, and the burning youth and becoming an adult, I didn't see it from this perspective, would you mind doing lyrics Explanation to dope or the rap line's mixtape tracks, it would be highly appreciated from us foreign armys. I know we really miss a lot because of the language barrier, so I am very thankful to see people like you try to explain the lyrics and give us more context to it.
    My personal request can you do a video for suga's song ft suran ( so far away), I like the song alot, and I wish to understand it more in a deep level.

      Yeah I have a long list and songs like Dope and even a Skit is in it :) Glad to hear this can be useful to international armys.
      My biggest concern moving forward is copyright... I will see which of your suggestions are on UA-cam’s viewable list. Thanks for the suggestion!

    From the whole tone and look of the Fire MV, it has got to be about BTS addressing the haters. It’s 2021 now and they still have haters but they no longer need to address it. Their worldwide success speaks volumes on its own, and everyone knows it.

    I was in an extremely tight spot last year. I had no motivation nor will to do anything. I felt like a loser and I was so freaking fed up that I didn't even want to try. Why do I have to be the best? Why do I have to be better than others? Can't I lie here in peace for just a moment? Please I beg! So I came back to fire after 3 years and read the lyrics. The lines "Live your life, It's yours anyways." "It's okay to be a loser" meant so much to me!
    And one year later, being in a similar spot again except now I have will to live and burn it all up, I listen to fire again, with its true meaning. Oh and, I became an adult this year.
    I like how I truely found and understood 'Fire' as I was transitioning from adolescence to adulthood.

    Thank you for the great video! I always thought that they burn haters, and in the end 'I forgive you'. Also, since you talked about 'spoon', there's also possibilities that BTS also was categorized as 'dirty spoon' as coming from Big Hit. Again, there's always layers in BTS songs, like peeling up another layers of meaning while we dig deeper (me: teary.., oh stop cutting onions Namjoon).

    @kristensantamaria5746 5 років тому +1

    Thank you for clearing up the lyrics for me. As an English speaker (I think we English speakers sometimes feel a bit superior or arrogant. Like everything should be English. Does that make sense?) I misheard some lyrics. I really enjoy hearing the songs as BTS meant them to be heard. So even not understanding, just hearing the beautiful voices and flow of the rap is very satisfying. I often look up the lyrics when a song first comes out so I know what message BTS is trying to express, but then back to the native language.
    So I will apologize for thinking Suga says, "we're totally" at the beginning. Then before Jimin's famous 3:33 dance, I thought he was saying, "feed your fire, need to burn it down" or "be your fire, need to burn it down."
    Apologies to Yoongi, Jimin and all of BTS and staff. 💜

    just adding here,,,
    often in hyyh theories, the black hooded guys or anything black is related to adulthood. and 'fire' is a song in which they have decided to accept the adult age and let go of adolescence, finally! but like they said in 'young forever', they will be young forever, forever young if they will keep on dreaming, keep on moving forward no matter the obstacles.
    also we all know how adults put pressure on young people by wanting us to do things that /they/ want us to do or make us do things that /they/ think will be "safe" route for us.
    so yoongi firing up the guy in the start also them burning up the whole concert place filled with black hooded guys in the end could be like a "f*ck you!" to the adults who do and say the thing i said above. they might be saying "f*ck you!! it's my life. i'm gonna live the way /i/ want to. you're no one to tell me what i should do. i'm gonna go on my way, i will fall, i will get hurt, but i won't stop."
    also telling us that it's ok to lose sometimes, it's ok to fail sometimes. cause it's all part of achieving something anyway. what matters in the end is how we learn from our experiences and how we get back up and keep steadfast on our dreams no matter the obstacles. and so we'll be young forever. like the title of the album :)
