He warns us that “it’s dangerous” to try to do what they are doing. I think the first line is a carryover about trying to obtain ARMY, or love (to BTS at least lol.) It’s still “dark” and they still can’t see. We’re onto the next verse, sung by Jungkook. Perhaps they’re calling out to us as if to say “if I can’t be loved for what I really want to do, rather than being lonely, I’ll just be what others need me to.” It seems to me they’re reckoning with they’re future as a concept, and not humans with a passion. In keeping with the “suppressed passion” theme, this also makes more sense. “Don’t want to be lonely, just want to be yours.” And that since their passion is what keeps the boys running, it means they are now “dead.” They wanted something so badly, but when they got it, what drove them towards it in the first place is now within them, dying. “Locked In me” might mean that their true selves are being suppressed. In the vein of the theory I’m crafting, this starts to make sense. It could just be word choice, but perhaps they’re letting on that it’s not a nightmare, because it’s what they want, just not exactly how they wanted it. Another interesting thing, they refer to it as a “dream” which doesn’t really have a negative connotation. That would fit with them previous analyzation of lines 1 and 2 about seeing the dream, but not having the freedom to pursue it. So, I believe, that this “dream” Jimin sings he “want(s) to wake up” from is their old concept. And labels are usually really strict about the concept and allow little room for experimentation. (No shade, I enjoy every era of BTS, but it is a fact.) And as most people in the Kpop community know, concepts are decided by the artist’s label. (Also, keep in mind this song was released in 2016 after that change become more of their new style.) They opted their more edgy songs for more ballads with meaning.

So some older ARMY will recall that around 2014-2015(ish) BTS went through a concept change of sorts. So here’s where my theory begins, but it will take some explaining first. Perhaps it’s letting on that they could see what they wanted, even if it was night, but the atmosphere, (where they were in life at that time) wasn’t giving them the freedom of breathe. It sets the stage that there is something they were in that they want out personified by the “night.” And another interesting thing is night and the ability to breath (line 1) have nothing to do with each other. The first two lines make it clear that this “night” or darkness they are talking about is some small life thing. (Sung by Jimin) Now I think the common theory on this is that the boys are talking about some significant other, but I’m gonna say the first time I read these lyrics I thought they might be talking about ARMY. I hate being in a dream.ĭon’t want to be lonely, just want to be yours.” (Also I am aware that there are posts like this, but my whole purpose in doing these is to offer a different or less popular or personal view on a song.) And I know I’m a little late for the discussion but the way BTS’ lyrics continually change my life in positive ways is timeless.
