if you don't understand iu' verse, I recommend searching up people's interpretations on twitter. obviously, they played with english grammar and structure. it's supposed to be puzzling on purpose.
I'm loving this song as I knew Iu's voice fits perfectly with Yoongis rapping and also IU is my all time fav female soloist so I'm just happy these two collabed again, also the MV is so beautiful and I also love the lyrics aswell
I feel Army did not give this song the respect and listen it deserved. he hasn't even hit 9 million views on you tube when all RM,J Hope and Jimin surpassed 11 million I believe in its first 24 hrs. so what's up ARMY. why are y'all failing him. this song is amazing and so full of heart
Suga said this song is view as him talking to himself during the pandemic when he thought he lost everything so I think the chorus is about what he thought and asking and trying to tell himself at that time. “Time is yet to come because nobody knows anything”. Sometimes when I’m sad about things I usually ask myself all types of questions and it doesn’t make sense because life to me doesn’t make sense at all at that moment. I think it’s just his reference on a lost moments at one point.
Same, Landon, same! Your reaction to everything was basically mine - I'm struggling with IU's chorus too, I admit I'm a bit of a stickler for grammar & it doesn't make sense! 😬I'm also not that keen on that bit musically (I just find it a bit pedestrian, just my taste folks & nothing to do with her singing, don't come for me!) But I do love Yoongi's words in his parts - "So far away" from Army when they couldn't do the tour and him saying he didn't get enough love as a kid, which made him cautious is heart-rending 😢 So honest opinion?...I'm trying to like it more on repeat listenings, but 1st time hearing yday I was ...kinda frustrated that it wasn't really doing it for me, after looking forward to it so much 😔I'm really hoping there'll be other stuff on the album I like a lot a more. I read that the writing etc "band camp" with the team was at the house used for In The Soop 2 & I think that might be what's in the MV - the pool looks the same 🙂 And yeah, he looks absolutely gorgeous in his cardi 😍in the sunshine, with the dog ☺- have you seen the photosketch pics released today? Always loving your genuine reactions hunny, thank you! 💜
Yoongi said this was written 3 years ago during Covid time where he was left with nothing (they suppose do their biggest world tour, released ON etc). IU verse for me kinda remind me how time no longer have value/meaning & move slowly repetitively since at the end of the day we didn’t know when the pandemic will be over.
fun fact! you picked up on the 'so far away' references, but there's also references to his part in IU's song 'eight,' where he said "the word forever is a sandcastle"
I took IU's part and translated it into Korean on Papago and then back into English. It still is ambiguous, but it makes a little more sense. Especially with how he was feeling with the pandemic and losing everything. This is what Papago said when I left honorifics on. "So the time is still here. I know everything you know. So I'm still running out of time to go. No one knows anymore." This is what it said when I turned honorifics off. "So time has nowhere to go yet. I know you know everything you know. So time has nowhere to go yet. No one knows anymore." I don't know how accurate this is to what he wanted to say here, but it gave me the feeling that he felt like he was running out of time and yet time was just standing still. He knew what he wanted to do, but because of the uncertainty, nobody actually knew what to do anymore. This basically what I was thinking before, but I was struggling to put it into words until I did this.
Yoongi said on suchwita that he does care about numbers especially when he works with other artists. 😅 Ps. There's a shooting sketch. Pps. The lyrics aren't supposed to make sense because that shit that is the pandemic doesn't make sense.
Same! About IU's lines. I mean I love the melody & beat of the hook but those lines need a re-write or at least a Korean version line release ??? I'm pretty sure it means better in Hanggul, probably the translation to English got messed up to fit the measure of syllables
I actually have a suggested re-write (I am cringing about the lines for real) Instead of this I wish they could make it So time is yet now So, our time is now Right here to go Right here, we go I know you know I know, you know Anything does know Now, anything goes But since I am pretty sure it will never happen, I will just sing it like this in my own concert in my mind. lol!
Yes! We are all "Lost in translation" So perhaps that is the take away?. It is like in the movie ?. ( We see him as a director of a movie ). Here is what the movie Lost in Translation is about : "The film explores themes of alienation and disconnection against a backdrop of cultural displacement. Further analysis by critics and scholars has focused on the film's defiance of mainstream narrative conventions and its atypical depiction of romance". Yeah!.....I don't know?🤷
I’m glad I’m not the only one confused on IU’s part. I’m literally here researching and watching all these reactions to see if someone has ideas about it because I don’t just want to be confused (and a little annoyed at her lyrics because them next to Yoongi’s absolutely incredible lyrics just… 🥴). But, I’m happy to have found some interpretations in these comments and can make sense of the insensible just a little bit. I know there must be more meaning because they are very intelligent artists and wouldn’t give lyrics that didn’t mean anything. Or even translate it and not make sure it makes sense, so it must be on purpose.

he is talking to himself and answering himself during IU's part

Landon I just want to say thank you 💜🫂

Instead of this I wish they could make it
So time is yet now So, our time is now
Right here to go Right here, we go
I know you know I know, you know
Anything does know Now, anything goes
But since I am pretty sure it will never happen, I will just sing it like this in my own concert in my mind. lol!
Yeah, that moment right there ….. for me too 💜💜💜
Thank you Landon 💜
Yes! We are all

I don’t know why but this make me feel relax after work
Landon are you going to see Yoongi live? Did you manage to get tickets?
Yeah, I don't get IU's verse either. Also, he either drinks decaf coffee or tea nowadays, I think.
The face you make during IU’s part. 😀 I don’t get it either.

IU part doesn't really make sense. But I like her voice, so to me it makes sense 😂. You know, I know, We know right .
