Thank you so much for REACTING. Please react to BTS "BLUE and GREY" I'm sure you'll really like this song. And also, do react to other members solo songs: RM- Do You, Joke, Persona Jin- Awake, Epiphany, Moon Suga- Seesaw, AgustD, Shadow Jhope- Just Dance, Hope world, Mama, Ego Jimin- Serendipity, Filter, Promise, Taehyung- Stigma, Sweet night, Inner child Jungkook - Euphoria, My time, Begin, Still with you Etc. You can also have sub-units of BTS, from vocal to rapline. 💜
HEYA CONTEXT OF THE SONG FOR YOU:) So in their documentary Suga has mentioned that this song was written when the members and himself were very mentally and physically exhausted and were seriously contemplating about disbanding to end the struggle. They were receiving a lot of hate back them for becoming noticed outside korea. They said they listened to this song and cried together. HERE IS THE PART WHERE HE SAID IT IN THE DOCUMENTARY th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html THE LIVE DEFINITELY HITS MORE THAN THE LYRIC VIDEO SO YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT... I FOUND THEM WITH LYRICS th-cam.com/video/qa0FAQkhA0M/w-d-xo.html Hope this Helps...
No they werent talking about women nor other ppl. Rm, Suga and Jhope wrote this song dedicated for their members. In 2018, bts once revealed that they almost disbanded due to hardships & despressions which affects their mental and physical health. Suga said in a live that after they wrote and produced this song.. They all sit together and listened to it. Suga said after listening to that song.. THEY ALL CRIED TOGETHER. So that is why this song existed. They almost broke up. "We walk towards the same place but this place became our last" - the PLACE they are talking is bts' career. They all became bts together, they dreamt together but they didnt expect that it'll end.
after yoongi said this i haven't been able to watch the live performance without feeling their emotions. especially hobi's last verse and the passion he pours into it.
To be fair, ARMY only learned about this a few months ago, and before that, it was all "Who hurt Suga, give me their address"... Then when the address turned out to be "The BTS dorm"... ;)
Notice how RM says tear (as in tears from your eyes), Suga says tear (as in ripping something apart), and J-Hope says fear. ARMY already loved this long, but Suga revealed it was written during a time when BTS was considering disbanding back in 2018, and the members cried when they listened to it for the first time. Knowing this information gives the song a whole new meaning.
I’ll say this for future reference, a lot of their songs can come off as “oh they’re talking about a female, etc” but 99% of their songs have depth and a deeper meaning that some people don’t think about a lot.
Suga mentioned on a documentary that he made the song and showed it to members when they were considering disband ,and cried. For Namjoon them disbanding is like tear(sadness), and to Yoongi it is tear up his heart, and to Hobi it is fear
And yea in a sense it’s a “break up song” but with themselves. Yoongi wrote this song and the rest of the rap line also helped as well but during a very hard time in the band’s career and they were all suffering mentally and wanted to disband so this is about them and when they played it for the other members they all cried. 2018 was a very rough year for them.
Who has the best color coded lyrics or translation videos for BTS lyrics on youtube who aren't Jaeguchi or Lemoring? I know a lot of people say use the doolset website, but I just want to know if there is any legit and good BTS translation youtube channels.
BBTS9717 is good also but doesn't have an exhaustive list. The main thing is to try and find people who actually speak Korean and English, not just people who use Google translate, lol.
This song was written by the rapline about their discussion on disbanding the band. So for RM it's tear as in crying. For suga it's tear. Like a heartbreak. For Jhope it's fear. As in even talking about it causes him fear beacuse he can't imagine not being in bts.
👑 Ok I hope I remember all the stuff I wanted to say, so I'll break it down as much as I can 😁 1. Interpretations- BTS are true artists, and like any artist they may create with a certain vision or emotion but if you can connect to their art in a personal way, then it doesn't matter what the intention was behind the art, only that you took something from it. That in itself powerful. 2. The floral print shirt, love! 💜 3. The outro! Where can I find your music? 4. Thank you for not using some of the more sus lyric channels. Dial is one of the most accurate, and BBTS9717 and Af Taehyung are pretty good too. 5. For the Cyphers AF Taehyung may have the best lyrics for those but may want to cross reference some stuff on Doolset 6. Sound was cool 👍 didn't hear the construction really at all. 7. Almost forgot, many of the lives have some fanmade subs and they can be pretty accurate. So if you don't want a lyric channel , you may find a live for it. 8. Longer, shorter doesn't matter, I personally like the discourse, and I like your interpretation. 9. Thanks! I hope I remembered everything, if not well....there is an edit button 🙂
@@ZiahTV of course, supporting good art and good people is easy 😁 I did forget something....check out Cedric Gegals YT.....hes a filmmaker, screenwriter and actor, he breaks down music videos and performances from that perspective. He's pretty easy to connect with if that's your interest and passion 👍
Since you’re so great at analyzing lyrics, you need to listen to 13430 “Pluto” because just the brilliance of the lyrics. Out of this world literally! Lol
You guys definitely caught on to the anguish and intensity of this song. Thank you for this thorough reaction I enjoyed it. Yoongi (Suga) actually wrote the melody when the members were thinking of disbanding and they all cried together listening to it. Rap line all contributed to the writing of the lyrics. I think it's really interesting that you guys felt that this is a "break up with yourself" song b/c I think this is true in some ways. While the song is about bts I'd argue that the battle was very much internal as well for each of them individually. I really liked when Ziah talked about the "crossroad" idea at 32:35. This song is very much about trying to make a life-changing decision that is painful and difficult. While I'm obviously happy they didn't disband back in 2018, but this song really conveys how deeply upsetting this was for the members at the time. It's always a very emotional and powerful performance to watch as well.
Wowww! 42mins reviewing the whole Outro: Tear song. I really enjoy your reaction guys. It always amazes me how you give your honest reaction and also relate to the song. Thank you so much for giving us this kind of reaction that most of the time other reactor misses to do. Anyway, you can guys react to " BLUE AND GREY". I'M SURE, YOU'LL LIKE THE WHOLE SONG.
@@ZiahTV You don't have to thank me or us ARMY. You guys deserve it all. You guys deserved such raise for doing a reaction video, and trying to further dig onto every BTS songs to understand it more. Because, most of the times. BTS songs have double layering when it comes to what the song really means. And we're so glad that you have all of your effort in doing so. So thank you.
23:11 When Suga raps “goodbye for me is t.e.a.r.“, I think he refers to J. W. Worden four tasks of grieving. According to this theory t.e.a.r. stands for the process of grieving: T: To accept the loss, E: acknowledge the pain of the loss, A: adjust to a new environment and R: reinvest in the reality of a new life. Great reaction. Greets from Europe 💜
You guys really need to watch the live of this song. The emotions that they put into this song, and watching it live make it so much better and the sing is already so good.
You HAVE to watch the live version of this song. JHope legit cried at the end...it's such an emotional performance given the context that it is about BTS' own breakup/disbandment. There was also international producers who attended their concert, and saw this performance, and their reaction immeidately was: "how do we collaborate with BTS? That was awesome!" The production for this song cannot be understated.
BTS actually does have a song (it is a solo by V) that is a conversation between V as an adult and V as a child. It’s called Inner Child and it’s from their Map of the Soul 7 album.
Just a little context for this song, it's a small video from one of (the many) BTS series "Break the Silence", it tells for who and why Tear came to be. Back in 2018, BTS faced very harsh times (they did for many years), they even considered disbanding, and so, this song came to be: th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html Love u breaking the song down, thank u 💜 Lol I forgot: 💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑
It is a breakup song. The once talked about breakup of BTS in 2018. Yoongi, RM ,and Jhope took part in writing this song. There is so much pain in this song because of it. All parts of a breakup TEAR, TEAR (pronounced like a rip), and FEAR! They are lyrical genius! I loved your reaction.
Thanks you both so much for this reaction! 👑 I hope you guys can watch a live performance of this someday, they’re stage presence is incredible! And as others have commented, this song was made when BTS was thinking of disbanding so in a sense it is a break up song, but as far as we know this song isn’t about a romantic breakup. It’s the a great reflection on any kind of relationship Breakup, it could be about a couple, family, friends, your old self, or a job/Passion. I love that so many of BTS’s songs can have different meanings and interpretations to each person!💜 Also, I really enjoyed and loved hearing your guys thoughts and interpretations of the lyrics!This is why I subscribed, you both always give us such incredible views on BTS’s music. I can’t wait for you guys to react to RM’s “Intro: Persona”, Suga’s “Interlude: Shadow” and J-Hope’s “Outro: Ego”!
Guys I'm 51 honestly if you don't react to HARDSHIPS 2013 - 2021 by XCeleste you're not gonna understand the essence of their songs, there's a reason for all these songs and you're gonna find it only in the HARDSHIPS video, you have no idea what is this about you'll be without words and after that you'll understand many things, you'll be very thankful for this suggestion. This song is absolutely intense live. All of them cried together after listening the lyric, it was Suga who wrote it. They were thinking to disband at that time but thanks to this song they didn't. (correct me if I'm wrong Army). 💜
Theres no DKDKTV explanation (i think. I mean i searched and didnt find one), but like we’ve mentioned, suga explained it in the Break the Silence docu-series. Here’s a snippet but you don’t have to react to it if you don’t want to. You can watch it in your own time: th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html Hope you watch the outro tear live performance
Outro: Tear is just amazing and the meaning for BTS themselves tje song is about them as a group in a moment when they were thinking about breaking up or not when they listened for the first time they all cried together. But if you thing that was fast you're gonna freak out if you guys were to watch the Cypher Series of BTS
This song (from their 2018 album Love Yourself: Tear) is emotional for BTS due to circumstances surrounding its creation, and for ARMY once we found out what it was really about...we had no clue what some members of BTS were going through and considering doing in early 2018 - until the MAMA 2018 awards show in December. They won Artist of the Year and in Jin's acceptance speech, he admitted through tears what a difficult year it was for them which made that award so much more meaningful and he revealed that they had talked about breaking up because of their hardships. Almost the entire group was weeping at that win and his speech.....ARMY didn't even know until spring 2020 that the lyrics to this song referred to that difficult time, when Suga revealed that in their 'Break The Silence' documentary.
Yeess!! This god tier rap deserves the 42mins!! I already explained from my last comment but basically this rap was born when the members were on a brink of disbanding for personal reasons. The rappers in a way is talking about the members. It does make sense if you analyze the lyrics especially suga’s. We were twerking to this rap when the album came out but when they told us how this rap came to be, we just bawling now. Edit: also your analyses are quite good and interesting too! As you said, it can be interpreted in any way you want which is the best part of this rap
What i love about this song is that even though Suga wrote it during BTS considering disband (here is your breakup) the lyrics boys made are very universal that can relate to others' people breakups whether it is with lover, friend or whoever It us my most favourite song from BTS
This was written for the members when they almost disbanded. It was revealed in one of their documentaries that when the song was finished, all the members listened to it and cried. It was also at a crucial stage in their career where they had to decide if they will renew their contracts, which they all eventually did a year earlier than its expiration. In a sense, it is a breakup song, but a breakup of the group. When this was first released, ARMYs were like 🔥🔥🔥. About a year after when the context was released, we're like 😭😭😭. In the latter chorus, RM pronounces tear as in crying, JHope pronounces tear as in tearing a piece of paper, and Suga says fear. In a way, it's how they saw the group and their work during the toughest of times. Jin said in an award show at the end of 2018 that fortunately they pulled themselves together and will stay as a group for a long time.
Thank you for filming such an in-depth POV of tear, I have been ARMY for about 5 years, so I had watched/ gone through the years of turmoil as an ARMY that lead up the creation of this song. Also, I really enjoy long videos. I have never been a fan of videos that feel rushed or just cut too early in an attempt to gain more views. I appreciate your honest reactions to my favourite band in the world.
Loved your reaction!!! Please watch a live performance of this song🙏🙏. It hits a lot differently. Also RM said tear (like crying), Suga said tear (as in tearing a piece paper), and Jhope said Fear. Then at the very last verse Jhope uses both forms of the word tear at the end.
Just saw this from a comment from another tear reaction. It’s too good that to share it here. On SUGA’s verse he said: “Parting/Goodbye is, to me a T.E.A.R” Psychologist J. William Worden provides a framework of four tasks to help us understand people journey through grief. Healing happens gradually as grievers address these tasks, in no specific order, going back and forth from one to another over time. Task 1: ‘T’o accept the reality of loss Task 2 : ‘E’xperience the pain of grief Task 3: ‘A’djust to a world without the deceased Task 4: ‘R’einvest yourself into the World When I first read this I was in awe, and then I realized that I haven’t been able to fully understand how amazing the lycism BTS has. CTTO
I read somewhere the other day that T.E.A.R. is an acronym. I have no idea if Suga used it this way-he's not a native english speaker, but it kinda fits. 'To Accept the reality, Experience the pain, Adjust, and Reinvest (J. William Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning)
My opinion: Pause ALL you want! I'm here to hear what you have to say about the song! I enjoy it. As Jimin says: "You nice. Keep Going!". PS.I'm so ready for the cyphers. However, you're gonna love the three linked rapsongs from their MOTS:7 album; "Intro: Persona" (RM), "Interlude: Shadow" (Suga), and "Outro: Ego" (J-hope). They are all linked (theory by Carl Jung), they are all totally different and they all have mvs. Enjoy fellas. 👑 Edit: If you have interest in film editing - and based on how great you are at breaking down lyrics and good at finding visual clues, you guys would LOVE the BU (Bangtan Universe). It's a storyline that runs through a lot of their work, and nothing is handed to you - you gotta figure it out on your own which makes it SO cool. And EVERYTHING has a meaning - from patterns on the wall, the camera angles, the lighting and colouring, the clothing, the symbols throughout (and the list goes on). Once you know their faces (because without you won't pick up on it), that would be amazing to see your journey should you ever want to do that.
I LOVE hearing your thoughts on this song, please continue to take allll the time you need! Hell in "Lucifer" had me thinking a lot too, just have to say. You both said so many great things that show emotional life experience and your ability to cross-connect content across differerent media, such as TV shows, novels and lyrics by other rappers. * clap * Many of the things you absolutely nailed in your analysis, esp in Suga's verse (good job identifying their voices!), are brought up thematically in a couple of other BTS songs I recommend to you: Seesaw - Suga's solo from the same album series Autumn Leaves (or Dead Leaves) - earlier album, produced by Suga Thematic hint: not so much "anger", but fear of a moment that will hurt, and shouting at the other internally to "just do it", to build up that stress hormone high you need to feel invincible even when someone gives you the killing blow...
Outro tear is such a masterpiece song. The producer is docskim. I hope he produced song again for BTS. He has this dark, gloomy style in his production. I really like his style. Dosckim now mainly in charge for instrumental of their performances. If you saw a band behind some BTS performances, he was one of it. He also the one produced jimin solo song lie.
I really like your interpretation for it. You are right one of BTS strong point is that their songs can be interpreted in many ways depending on what you need it to be at that moment. Thus the song becomes a comfort and heals the listener.
I know at first impression you might think that this may be for a woman but as our fellow ARMYs explained, it is for the boys during a hard time of their careers, where they thought of disbanding. Suga actually explained it in the Break the Silence docu-series. With that in mind, I hope you would react to the Outro Tear live (highly reco the dior outfit one). Seeing them perform completes the experience. Seeing their facial expressions tells a story of what they went through during that time. th-cam.com/video/UJSDI8iYh6Y/w-d-xo.html
As said by RM, TEAR could mean tear(shading tears), Tearing apart(by Suga's point of view) and Fear(by Jhope) but all of those words connects and symbolizes the pain felt in BREAK-UP. For BTS, it is a FRIENDSHIP BREAK-UP. It is when they almost disbanded as a group during their tough years.
In the BTS docu-series called Break The Silence, Suga said, "the lyrics for *'Tear'* were written for the members. When I was writing the melody at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members, we all cried together."😭🥺
👑 i love going back and watching you guys on this journey with bts, it's so entertaining and what i really like about you guys is how analytical you are and break down all this stuff in ways i've never even thought about. Also I really love how you guys talk to each other, love seeing the respect and the bond of brotherhood between you!
Edit: You nailed it with the double entendres comment. 💜💜💜Ok, so yes, BTS said they wrote this during a very difficult time when they almost disbanded- but it is not just about that time. They have spoken about this. If you look at this song as part of the progression of a love story in the three album Love Yourself trilogy (LY:Her - new love, bright & euphoric; LY:Tear - dark & painful side of love, loss of love; LY: Answer - the answer or Epiphany is that you must learn to love & care for yourself before you can love & care for others.) Yoongi/Suga has said over & over that they tell stories with their albums & that there is a story arc. He has said that the albums are meant to be listened to “in order” to understand the themes/stories they are telling. Also albums are part of a set or trilogy with an overarching theme. RM/Namjoon also said he had “lost someone” at this time and it was very painful so he rode his bike down to the Han River & that’s where some of his verse came from. Please don’t let yourselves get boxed in to the “there’s only one right translation” mindset that is reflected in many replies. This limits BTS as the artists they are. 💜💜💜 Many Kpop-oriented ARMY don’t ever want to acknowledge that a song might be on one level about a woman or lover. They still somehow believe that BTS hasn’t dated. 😂😳🥸 Also it IS true that many of their songs are about their relationship with ARMY at least on a surface level. They talk to us through their songs often using many symbols & phrases that mean something only to ARMY & BTS. That is why it’s said that BTS & ARMY have developed their own language. 🙋🏻♀️💜🙋🏻♀️ Thank you for your sincere discussions of BTS’ music & lyrics. As a Literature teacher I’m here to say great art has many interpretations & meets each reader, viewer, listener where they live & within their own experience.
I can see through the replies that all the things they have said about Tear & its role in the album have been lost. Yoongi said they wrote this during a very difficult time when they thought about disbanding & that’s important to know. However it has now become dogma that this is ALL the song is about which really limits the greatness of this song. Youngdae Kim who wrote the book BTS:The Review (really the best book so far about BTS) recently said in an interview that Outro: Tear is their greatest masterpiece. You can’t imagine what it is like to see it performed LIVE. You feel like your face is melting off from the heat of their passion while your heart is being ripped from your chest. I’ve seen it three times and don’t think I breathed once in any of the performances. 💜💜💜
Suga wrote this song thinking about bts members when they were in a discussion if they wnat to disband and when suga presented it in front of members they all cried together.
Hello! How's your day? Good? That's good. Well it seems you've been told plenty of times the real meaning to this song a million times. So instead of repeating the same comment, I'll say this, your interpretations are really good and it really expanded my knowledge on what else this song could signify! Thank you for paying attention to the lyrics and knowing that this song could be something other than a 'break-up song' 👌. To be honest when I first heard this song I didn't go this deep into the song soo you guys are doing way better than me🤣Keep it Up!💜
I think the majority of ARMY truly doesn't mind the longer videos. We usually know which songs need more time, especially when the reactor's personal taste is taken into account. I was excited to see how long the video was going to be, because it probably meant you were into it. I echo the requests to watch this live - it's breathtaking. Something I love about Outro: Tear is Suga's stamp on it with the ethereal music mixed with hard hitting lyrics, as well as his singing. Fantastic reaction and analysis once again. *For the record, I don't know how to do the whole crown thing, but I've always watched to the end. :)
Watching their LIVE performance of this song was the most surreal experience in my life, no joke. I ain't the only one. please watch the interview of SHAWN STOCKMAN (of BOYZ II MEN) ON BTS'S ROSE BOWL SHOW. He said, their concert was one of the best shows he's ever seen in his life even not knowing one song going in. I myself didn't have big expectation before going in but... it was just unbelievably incredible and made me pay $680 for their next concert. Their concert tickets were so hard to get so I ended up buying a resale ticket. But it was totally WORTH it!
Thanks for the reactions. Love that you did Singularity and Outro: Tear one after the other. Intro: Singularity is the first song on Love Yourself: Tear, while Outro: Tear is the last. This is my favorite BTS album.
Suga wrote this song because they were about to disbanding. So he wrote this song, he showed to members and they all cried together. He told this himself.
I always think anyone's interpretation of a song has value but the only thing i'd say is that i don't think they are talking to a younger version of themselves because of how in the present the lyrics are if you get what i mean (lyrics like "why are you tearing it up" and "goodbye to me are only those moments, flashback" implies that its in the present and the pain is making them remember better times). Its definitely about a goodbye that happened to them in a more recent "moment" and there is a lot of speculation of what it is actually about. Suga said he wrote it about the band disbanding but i don't know if rm ad jhope wrote their verses about that topic. But if you guys relate to it in that way thats very cool
@@ancip485 ....yes i'm saying that suga confirmed he wrote his verse about that topic but idk if rm and jhope wrote theirs about it as well. i think you misunderstood my comment
One thing BTS doesnt really sing about is romantic love. For some reason, most of their songs are about themselves; their inner struggles, ups and downs in their careers, their relationship to members, depression, fears, self-love, self-loathing, self-doubt etc. Most of their songs in which they write their own lyrics are always about themselves and their struggles. I think this song is about their struggles when all the members had a really hard time in 2018, when many of the members were depressed, confused, and mentally & emotionally exhausted to a point where they actually talked about disbandment. It is a well-known fact among armys that BTS went through some tough times in 2018 due to depression, confusion, fears, and serious burn out. They revealed it in front of fans when they were on stage to receive the artist of the year award in Korea in 2018. All the members were crying while making a speech. While making a speech for the artist of the year award, Jin said that they actually had such a hard time and that members sat down and talked about disbandment. When Jin said it on stage, all the members cried. I think the depression and fear came from their huge global success, which they didnt really intended or anticipated, so they didnt really know how to deal with such global fame and success. That led to so much confusion, identity crisis, fear, depression, and mental break down among the members. I think this song was about it, about the thought of disbandment and the pain they all felt thinking about disbandment. Yes, this is a breakup song, but not with a woman but with the members.
You should have reacted it live in any of their concerts. Some has subtitles too. It's something you should experience. It's like being there experiencing the feeling of their emotion as they rap.
This one actually is a breakup song, but not with a woman. It's the members breaking up with each other. Suga wrote the song in the beginning of 2018 when they talked about disbanding. It's the pain of the end of a dream and the breakup of people who are so close that they literally share an identity. In that respect, you're right about them talking to themselves. BTS is a unit, they are each a part of that whole and that whole was talking about separating into it's individual parts and separating from one another. ARMY didn't know the context of the song until last year, but you should see the live performance. There is no doubt that the pain they sing about was very real. Even the memory hurts them. Also, this is why ARMY loves BTS so much. Their songs are so deep and have so many levels. On one level or another, they really speak to you.
Ohhhh, I love your theory! It could very well be about themselves! I like that theory a lot, and how you really went into all the lyrics to support that. BTS definitely make their songs possible to interpret multiple ways and I love hearing all the theories. Great reaction! 👑
👑💜 You guys got really close to what we understand is the meaning of this song based on Suga's explanation. Thanks for taking the time to analyze what the lyrics mean to you.
You guys kept getting close so many times. As many others said already..this one IS a breakup song (when bts thought about breaking up). It's a raw emotional song, and I love every bit of it. Can you imagine being a fly on the wall when the boys sat down and Suga played this to them for the first time? I don't know if I could make it through watching. The Live on this is one of the best. 💜
love how the rapline play with words,when you think you know the plot,but its twisted and had a deeper meaning...💜thank you hopefuly you van react to the live performnce of tear...😊
Just wanted you to know i don't mind long videos when folks are talking sense and are sincere/ interested in the topic! Loved your analysis and theories!
Suga brought the kernel of this song to the others when they were considering disbanding in early 2018. In my opinion, that's why his verse comes off so aggressive: because it's where the idea for the song started.
That's why I love your reactions, you guys aw re almost on if not, get exactly what the explanation of these raplines are trying to put out. This song is sooo deep, sad. It's basically about the group when they went through a hump a few yrs ago and thought about disbanding. Suga wrote this song, and when members heard it, they all broke down. My favorite song from the rapline!!
As usual I love watching you guys break it down. Knowing what this song was about (and seeing the Wembley performance which you should really check out, it'll rip your heart out) I pretty much cried the whole time. You nailed it with the fork in the road, but what I really love is that the pain and passion still comes across no matter how interpreted. 💜💜💜 I'm gutted. On a happier note, I'm glad to know that you are using that amazing deep voice. And never give up the dream, I am in coding school right now so I can continue to act and make movies. And I'm older. I gave it up once, but it made me feel like I had no passion. It wasn't my authentic self. So keep at it. Like the New York Lotto says "Hey, you never know"😘
Many BTS songs fit more than one interpretation, so this for example fits in the LY narrative, it's the ending of the Love Yourself : Tear album, where the "lover" angrily admits that this is a toxic relationship, whether that relationship is with himself or with someone else (deliberately kept vague). Singularity, the beginning of LY:Tear is still the stage where someone is sinking into darkness, losing themselves, losing their voice, erasing themselves in the relationship. Fake Love is the one right after it where they admit point flat that this is a toxic relationship, then Outro:Tear is the last song, and it's basically the ugly breakup...BTS also constantly references and ties songs together so for example the lyrics of Singularity, Fake Love and the one right before Singularity (Outro:Her) have lines that tie those three songs together. Here in Outro:Tear, RM's part references back and flips around lines from songs in the first album in the series, Love Yourself:Her (ex Best of Me) where the lover is still in the illusioned state of Love. It being the last of the album LY:Tear, that bit about "the answer being known" is a reference to the LY:Answer the last album of the LY series. The other interpretation it also served was personal for BTS as BTS's Suga wrote it in reflection over their almost disbandment in 2018. Your interpretations were also quite cool. 👑
I really love your analysis. On one level you are very correct. This was part of the album talking about the end of love: end of relationships. At the same time the group has said this was actually specifically written about themselves. 2015 through 2017 were very difficult for the group and they faced a lot of hate. At the beginning of 2018 they sat and talked about the possibility of breaking up. They have never said which members wanted to but I think maybe RM was one because his lyrics talk about self loathing and wondering if he ever loved them at all. As though he felt guilty for considering it. Suga clear did not because he sings so aggressively about feeling betrayed. When the song was presented to the group they all cried. It shows you that songs can have multiple meanings and they're all pretty legitimate.
You guys are so good with words, i feel like watching talkshow or listening to radio, it doesn't boring at all watching the whole video, i'm enjoying it so much and i think it's so cool how you interpreted their lyrics 😍 Can i have a request? Please react to 'Boy Meets Evil' perform by j-hope, thank you guys ❤️🙏🏻
👑 Great video as always guys. Love the interpretation and hearing both of your perspective on this song. I cackled at the mini bloopers 🤣 Personally I love longer videos when you are reacting to BTS. Seeing how invested you guys at their art really makes me happy as Army 🥰
This is one of my favorite from the rap line. You can feel the emotions by each member esp J-Hope. I’m glad they didn’t break up because we are benefiting from their staying together. I enjoyed your reaction.
Well, it kinda is a break up song.. theres just no romance involved. This is one of the only songs where i love Suga being aggressive, usually his music is too aggressive for my taste. In the end, i think Jhope took this song with his ending, thats also propably why they desided to put him last in this song.

HEYA CONTEXT OF THE SONG FOR YOU:)
So in their documentary Suga has mentioned that this song was written when the members and himself were very mentally and physically exhausted and were seriously contemplating about disbanding to end the struggle. They were receiving a lot of hate back them for becoming noticed outside korea. They said they listened to this song and cried together.
HERE IS THE PART WHERE HE SAID IT IN THE DOCUMENTARY th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html
THE LIVE DEFINITELY HITS MORE THAN THE LYRIC VIDEO SO YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT... I FOUND THEM WITH LYRICS th-cam.com/video/qa0FAQkhA0M/w-d-xo.html
Hope this Helps...
No they werent talking about women nor other ppl. Rm, Suga and Jhope wrote this song dedicated for their members. In 2018, bts once revealed that they almost disbanded due to hardships & despressions which affects their mental and physical health. Suga said in a live that after they wrote and produced this song.. They all sit together and listened to it. Suga said after listening to that song.. THEY ALL CRIED TOGETHER.
So that is why this song existed. They almost broke up.
"We walk towards the same place but this place became our last" - the PLACE they are talking is bts' career. They all became bts together, they dreamt together but they didnt expect that it'll end.
Well said 👏🏼 Every time I hear this song knowing the meaning behind it now makes me feel sad ;(
@@bettyli001 ikr. This song always make me emotional
after yoongi said this i haven't been able to watch the live performance without feeling their emotions. especially hobi's last verse and the passion he pours into it.
@@veera4357 I feel you😭
To be fair, ARMY only learned about this a few months ago, and before that, it was all "Who hurt Suga, give me their address"... Then when the address turned out to be "The BTS dorm"... ;)
The live version of this song in Wembley stadium or just any live performance you can see the emotions they had while rapping this.
Same here
it's a must watch
Hobi kills me every single time :((((((
@@Honey-je4pr same
@@Honey-je4pr true, hobi in dior is 🔥
Notice how RM says tear (as in tears from your eyes), Suga says tear (as in ripping something apart), and J-Hope says fear. ARMY already loved this long, but Suga revealed it was written during a time when BTS was considering disbanding back in 2018, and the members cried when they listened to it for the first time. Knowing this information gives the song a whole new meaning.
I’ll say this for future reference, a lot of their songs can come off as “oh they’re talking about a female, etc” but 99% of their songs have depth and a deeper meaning that some people don’t think about a lot.
And these guys said exactly that during this entire video, multiple times.
They know. They mentioned it many times
Suga mentioned on a documentary that he made the song and showed it to members when they were considering disband ,and cried.
For Namjoon them disbanding is like tear(sadness), and to Yoongi it is tear up his heart, and to Hobi it is fear
And yea in a sense it’s a “break up song” but with themselves. Yoongi wrote this song and the rest of the rap line also helped as well but during a very hard time in the band’s career and they were all suffering mentally and wanted to disband so this is about them and when they played it for the other members they all cried. 2018 was a very rough year for them.
It’s not that you can’t use color coded lyrics at all, but you should definitely avoid Jaeguchi and Lemoring.
I agree, they have the most views even they they have the worst translation.
Worst translation ever...
Who has the best color coded lyrics or translation videos for BTS lyrics on youtube who aren't Jaeguchi or Lemoring? I know a lot of people say use the doolset website, but I just want to know if there is any legit and good BTS translation youtube channels.
JVJ_95z is one that I’ve used.
BBTS9717 is good also but doesn't have an exhaustive list. The main thing is to try and find people who actually speak Korean and English, not just people who use Google translate, lol.
This song was written by the rapline about their discussion on disbanding the band.
So for RM it's tear as in crying.
For suga it's tear. Like a heartbreak.
For Jhope it's fear. As in even talking about it causes him fear beacuse he can't imagine not being in bts.
👑 Ok I hope I remember all the stuff I wanted to say, so I'll break it down as much as I can 😁
1. Interpretations- BTS are true artists, and like any artist they may create with a certain vision or emotion but if you can connect to their art in a personal way, then it doesn't matter what the intention was behind the art, only that you took something from it. That in itself powerful.
2. The floral print shirt, love! 💜
3. The outro! Where can I find your music?
4. Thank you for not using some of the more sus lyric channels. Dial is one of the most accurate, and BBTS9717 and Af Taehyung are pretty good too.
5. For the Cyphers AF Taehyung may have the best lyrics for those but may want to cross reference some stuff on Doolset
6. Sound was cool 👍 didn't hear the construction really at all.
7. Almost forgot, many of the lives have some fanmade subs and they can be pretty accurate. So if you don't want a lyric channel , you may find a live for it.
8. Longer, shorter doesn't matter, I personally like the discourse, and I like your interpretation.
9. Thanks! I hope I remembered everything, if not well....there is an edit button 🙂
Thank you for all the info! Here’s a link to my music channel: th-cam.com/users/Mesziah appreciate your support 🙏🏽
@@ZiahTV of course, supporting good art and good people is easy 😁
I did forget something....check out Cedric Gegals YT.....hes a filmmaker, screenwriter and actor, he breaks down music videos and performances from that perspective. He's pretty easy to connect with if that's your interest and passion 👍
TEAR is just one of the masterpieces made by the rapline of BTS. For Army's, it's a cultural reset.
It’s actually a song made by Suga for the members when they almost disbanded in 2018. He talked about it two years later.
@@Super_Chamchi Yeah. I know that. That's why, it is a cultural reset. It's one of the toughest song from BTS. And I treasured it alot.
Since you’re so great at analyzing lyrics, you need to listen to 13430 “Pluto” because just the brilliance of the lyrics. Out of this world literally! Lol
Yes! I recommended this to them after Singularity. I definitely think they’ll like it. And Whalien 52 is also so cool to analyze.
You guys definitely caught on to the anguish and intensity of this song. Thank you for this thorough reaction I enjoyed it. Yoongi (Suga) actually wrote the melody when the members were thinking of disbanding and they all cried together listening to it. Rap line all contributed to the writing of the lyrics. I think it's really interesting that you guys felt that this is a "break up with yourself" song b/c I think this is true in some ways. While the song is about bts I'd argue that the battle was very much internal as well for each of them individually.
I really liked when Ziah talked about the "crossroad" idea at 32:35. This song is very much about trying to make a life-changing decision that is painful and difficult. While I'm obviously happy they didn't disband back in 2018, but this song really conveys how deeply upsetting this was for the members at the time. It's always a very emotional and powerful performance to watch as well.
"Anguish and intensity" are the perfect words to describe this song. I never get over Hobi performing his verse live.
Wowww! 42mins reviewing the whole Outro: Tear song. I really enjoy your reaction guys. It always amazes me how you give your honest reaction and also relate to the song. Thank you so much for giving us this kind of reaction that most of the time other reactor misses to do. Anyway, you can guys react to " BLUE AND GREY". I'M SURE, YOU'LL LIKE THE WHOLE SONG.
Thank you so much! We will definitely add it to the list of songs to check out!
@@ZiahTV You don't have to thank me or us ARMY. You guys deserve it all. You guys deserved such raise for doing a reaction video, and trying to further dig onto every BTS songs to understand it more. Because, most of the times. BTS songs have double layering when it comes to what the song really means. And we're so glad that you have all of your effort in doing so. So thank you.
Pause all you want. We love your content. Those who don't like it, are missing the point. Just don't pause to talk about pausing.
23:11 When Suga raps “goodbye for me is t.e.a.r.“, I think he refers to J. W. Worden four tasks of grieving. According to this theory t.e.a.r. stands for the process of grieving:
T: To accept the loss,
E: acknowledge the pain of the loss,
A: adjust to a new environment and
R: reinvest in the reality of a new life.
Great reaction. Greets from Europe 💜
The 'E' : Experience the pain ( don't try to run from it or numb the pain)
43 mins video for reacting to a BTS song. HELL YES! 220+ BTS songs to go :)
THIS IS SO FUNNY BYE,, the fact that they have over 200 songs is very... wow
@@thatweirdodaniel why so?
You guys really need to watch the live of this song. The emotions that they put into this song, and watching it live make it so much better and the sing is already so good.
You HAVE to watch the live version of this song. JHope legit cried at the end...it's such an emotional performance given the context that it is about BTS' own breakup/disbandment. There was also international producers who attended their concert, and saw this performance, and their reaction immeidately was: "how do we collaborate with BTS? That was awesome!" The production for this song cannot be understated.
BTS actually does have a song (it is a solo by V) that is a conversation between V as an adult and V as a child. It’s called Inner Child and it’s from their Map of the Soul 7 album.
Just a little context for this song, it's a small video from one of (the many) BTS series "Break the Silence", it tells for who and why Tear came to be. Back in 2018, BTS faced very harsh times (they did for many years), they even considered disbanding, and so, this song came to be:
th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html
Love u breaking the song down, thank u 💜
Lol I forgot: 💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑💜👑
It is a breakup song. The once talked about breakup of BTS in 2018. Yoongi, RM ,and Jhope took part in writing this song. There is so much pain in this song because of it. All parts of a breakup TEAR, TEAR (pronounced like a rip), and FEAR! They are lyrical genius! I loved your reaction.
Thanks you both so much for this reaction! 👑
I hope you guys can watch a live performance of this someday, they’re stage presence is incredible!
And as others have commented, this song was made when BTS was thinking of disbanding so in a sense it is a break up song, but as far as we know this song isn’t about a romantic breakup. It’s the a great reflection on any kind of relationship Breakup, it could be about a couple, family, friends, your old self, or a job/Passion. I love that so many of BTS’s songs can have different meanings and interpretations to each person!💜
Also, I really enjoyed and loved hearing your guys thoughts and interpretations of the lyrics!This is why I subscribed, you both always give us such incredible views on BTS’s music.
I can’t wait for you guys to react to RM’s “Intro: Persona”, Suga’s “Interlude: Shadow” and J-Hope’s “Outro: Ego”!
Danielle...Well said..!!💜💜💜
This song gets me so emotional every time. You guys need to watch them perform it live, so good.
You catch Suga rap,😭😭😭 am so gland you recognised Suga voice..thank yoau💜💜💜💜
Guys I'm 51 honestly if you don't react to HARDSHIPS 2013 - 2021 by XCeleste you're not gonna understand the essence of their songs, there's a reason for all these songs and you're gonna find it only in the HARDSHIPS video, you have no idea what is this about you'll be without words and after that you'll understand many things, you'll be very thankful for this suggestion. This song is absolutely intense live. All of them cried together after listening the lyric, it was Suga who wrote it. They were thinking to disband at that time but thanks to this song they didn't. (correct me if I'm wrong Army). 💜
Theres no DKDKTV explanation (i think. I mean i searched and didnt find one), but like we’ve mentioned, suga explained it in the Break the Silence docu-series. Here’s a snippet but you don’t have to react to it if you don’t want to. You can watch it in your own time: th-cam.com/video/wFNmiUSJg4I/w-d-xo.html
Hope you watch the outro tear live performance
Outro: Tear is just amazing and the meaning for BTS themselves tje song is about them as a group in a moment when they were thinking about breaking up or not when they listened for the first time they all cried together. But if you thing that was fast you're gonna freak out if you guys were to watch the Cypher Series of BTS
This song (from their 2018 album Love Yourself: Tear) is emotional for BTS due to circumstances surrounding its creation, and for ARMY once we found out what it was really about...we had no clue what some members of BTS were going through and considering doing in early 2018 - until the MAMA 2018 awards show in December. They won Artist of the Year and in Jin's acceptance speech, he admitted through tears what a difficult year it was for them which made that award so much more meaningful and he revealed that they had talked about breaking up because of their hardships. Almost the entire group was weeping at that win and his speech.....ARMY didn't even know until spring 2020 that the lyrics to this song referred to that difficult time, when Suga revealed that in their 'Break The Silence' documentary.
Yeess!! This god tier rap deserves the 42mins!! I already explained from my last comment but basically this rap was born when the members were on a brink of disbanding for personal reasons. The rappers in a way is talking about the members. It does make sense if you analyze the lyrics especially suga’s. We were twerking to this rap when the album came out but when they told us how this rap came to be, we just bawling now.
Edit: also your analyses are quite good and interesting too! As you said, it can be interpreted in any way you want which is the best part of this rap
I'm sure everyone has said it, but you need to watch a live performance of this. 👑
What i love about this song is that even though Suga wrote it during BTS considering disband (here is your breakup) the lyrics boys made are very universal that can relate to others' people breakups whether it is with lover, friend or whoever
It us my most favourite song from BTS
Armys when they listened to Tear:
😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Armys when they found out what this song really means:
💔💔😭😭😭😭😭
LITERALLY THAS HOW WE FELT😵
Really simply explained but really well explained 💜
This was written for the members when they almost disbanded. It was revealed in one of their documentaries that when the song was finished, all the members listened to it and cried. It was also at a crucial stage in their career where they had to decide if they will renew their contracts, which they all eventually did a year earlier than its expiration. In a sense, it is a breakup song, but a breakup of the group.
When this was first released, ARMYs were like 🔥🔥🔥. About a year after when the context was released, we're like 😭😭😭. In the latter chorus, RM pronounces tear as in crying, JHope pronounces tear as in tearing a piece of paper, and Suga says fear. In a way, it's how they saw the group and their work during the toughest of times. Jin said in an award show at the end of 2018 that fortunately they pulled themselves together and will stay as a group for a long time.
Thank you for filming such an in-depth POV of tear, I have been ARMY for about 5 years, so I had watched/ gone through the years of turmoil as an ARMY that lead up the creation of this song.
Also, I really enjoy long videos. I have never been a fan of videos that feel rushed or just cut too early in an attempt to gain more views. I appreciate your honest reactions to my favourite band in the world.
Loved your reaction!!!
Please watch a live performance of this song🙏🙏. It hits a lot differently.
Also RM said tear (like crying), Suga said tear (as in tearing a piece paper), and Jhope said Fear. Then at the very last verse Jhope uses both forms of the word tear at the end.
Just saw this from a comment from another tear reaction. It’s too good that to share it here.
On SUGA’s verse he said:
“Parting/Goodbye is, to me a T.E.A.R”
Psychologist J. William Worden provides a framework of four tasks to help us understand people journey through grief. Healing happens gradually as grievers address these tasks, in no specific order, going back and forth from one to another over time.
Task 1: ‘T’o accept the reality of loss
Task 2 : ‘E’xperience the pain of grief
Task 3: ‘A’djust to a world without the deceased
Task 4: ‘R’einvest yourself into the World
When I first read this I was in awe, and then I realized that I haven’t been able to fully understand how amazing the lycism BTS has.
CTTO
I read somewhere the other day that T.E.A.R. is an acronym. I have no idea if Suga used it this way-he's not a native english speaker, but it kinda fits. 'To Accept the reality, Experience the pain, Adjust, and Reinvest (J. William Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning)
I read that too and it made his verse more painful 😟
My opinion: Pause ALL you want! I'm here to hear what you have to say about the song! I enjoy it. As Jimin says: "You nice. Keep Going!".
PS.I'm so ready for the cyphers. However, you're gonna love the three linked rapsongs from their MOTS:7 album; "Intro: Persona" (RM), "Interlude: Shadow" (Suga), and "Outro: Ego" (J-hope). They are all linked (theory by Carl Jung), they are all totally different and they all have mvs. Enjoy fellas. 👑
Edit: If you have interest in film editing - and based on how great you are at breaking down lyrics and good at finding visual clues, you guys would LOVE the BU (Bangtan Universe). It's a storyline that runs through a lot of their work, and nothing is handed to you - you gotta figure it out on your own which makes it SO cool. And EVERYTHING has a meaning - from patterns on the wall, the camera angles, the lighting and colouring, the clothing, the symbols throughout (and the list goes on). Once you know their faces (because without you won't pick up on it), that would be amazing to see your journey should you ever want to do that.
I LOVE hearing your thoughts on this song, please continue to take allll the time you need!
Hell in "Lucifer" had me thinking a lot too, just have to say. You both said so many great things that show emotional life experience and your ability to cross-connect content across differerent media, such as TV shows, novels and lyrics by other rappers. * clap *
Many of the things you absolutely nailed in your analysis, esp in Suga's verse (good job identifying their voices!), are brought up thematically in a couple of other BTS songs I recommend to you:
Seesaw - Suga's solo from the same album series
Autumn Leaves (or Dead Leaves) - earlier album, produced by Suga
Thematic hint: not so much "anger", but fear of a moment that will hurt, and shouting at the other internally to "just do it", to build up that stress hormone high you need to feel invincible even when someone gives you the killing blow...
I love the pausing because it means you’re paying real, true attention 💜
Outro tear is such a masterpiece song. The producer is docskim. I hope he produced song again for BTS. He has this dark, gloomy style in his production. I really like his style. Dosckim now mainly in charge for instrumental of their performances. If you saw a band behind some BTS performances, he was one of it. He also the one produced jimin solo song lie.
I really like your interpretation for it. You are right one of BTS strong point is that their songs can be interpreted in many ways depending on what you need it to be at that moment. Thus the song becomes a comfort and heals the listener.
I know at first impression you might think that this may be for a woman but as our fellow ARMYs explained, it is for the boys during a hard time of their careers, where they thought of disbanding. Suga actually explained it in the Break the Silence docu-series.
With that in mind, I hope you would react to the Outro Tear live (highly reco the dior outfit one). Seeing them perform completes the experience. Seeing their facial expressions tells a story of what they went through during that time. th-cam.com/video/UJSDI8iYh6Y/w-d-xo.html
You gotta see this live at Wembly, watch on your own time, you will flip over it!
As said by RM, TEAR could mean tear(shading tears), Tearing apart(by Suga's point of view) and Fear(by Jhope) but all of those words connects and symbolizes the pain felt in BREAK-UP. For BTS, it is a FRIENDSHIP BREAK-UP. It is when they almost disbanded as a group during their tough years.
In the BTS docu-series called Break The Silence, Suga said, "the lyrics for *'Tear'* were written for the members. When I was writing the melody at the time, we were deeply contemplating whether we should quit or not. When I played the song for the members, we all cried together."😭🥺
The live performance of Outro next please. They killed it! 💜
👑 i love going back and watching you guys on this journey with bts, it's so entertaining and what i really like about you guys is how analytical you are and break down all this stuff in ways i've never even thought about. Also I really love how you guys talk to each other, love seeing the respect and the bond of brotherhood between you!
Edit: You nailed it with the double entendres comment. 💜💜💜Ok, so yes, BTS said they wrote this during a very difficult time when they almost disbanded- but it is not just about that time. They have spoken about this. If you look at this song as part of the progression of a love story in the three album Love Yourself trilogy (LY:Her - new love, bright & euphoric; LY:Tear - dark & painful side of love, loss of love; LY: Answer - the answer or Epiphany is that you must learn to love & care for yourself before you can love & care for others.) Yoongi/Suga has said over & over that they tell stories with their albums & that there is a story arc. He has said that the albums are meant to be listened to “in order” to understand the themes/stories they are telling. Also albums are part of a set or trilogy with an overarching theme. RM/Namjoon also said he had “lost someone” at this time and it was very painful so he rode his bike down to the Han River & that’s where some of his verse came from. Please don’t let yourselves get boxed in to the “there’s only one right translation” mindset that is reflected in many replies. This limits BTS as the artists they are. 💜💜💜
Many Kpop-oriented ARMY don’t ever want to acknowledge that a song might be on one level about a woman or lover. They still somehow believe that BTS hasn’t dated. 😂😳🥸 Also it IS true that many of their songs are about their relationship with ARMY at least on a surface level. They talk to us through their songs often using many symbols & phrases that mean something only to ARMY & BTS. That is why it’s said that BTS & ARMY have developed their own language. 🙋🏻♀️💜🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for your sincere discussions of BTS’ music & lyrics. As a Literature teacher I’m here to say great art has many interpretations & meets each reader, viewer, listener where they live & within their own experience.
I can see through the replies that all the things they have said about Tear & its role in the album have been lost. Yoongi said they wrote this during a very difficult time when they thought about disbanding & that’s important to know. However it has now become dogma that this is ALL the song is about which really limits the greatness of this song. Youngdae Kim who wrote the book BTS:The Review (really the best book so far about BTS) recently said in an interview that Outro: Tear is their greatest masterpiece. You can’t imagine what it is like to see it performed LIVE. You feel like your face is melting off from the heat of their passion while your heart is being ripped from your chest. I’ve seen it three times and don’t think I breathed once in any of the performances. 💜💜💜
You guys should definitely check the live version of this song
I'm totally here for your lyrical analysis. I know you said you were taking recommendations through discord, but can I recommend 134340 by BTS? 👑
Yes! I’ve been recommending this one too. And Whalien 52
I think these guys would really enjoy the both of you and your reactions. They would love talking to you guys.
Suga wrote this song thinking about bts members when they were in a discussion if they wnat to disband and when suga presented it in front of members they all cried together.
Outro tear live is so emotional 💜
Hello! How's your day? Good? That's good.
Well it seems you've been told plenty of times the real meaning to this song a million times. So instead of repeating the same comment, I'll say this, your interpretations are really good and it really expanded my knowledge on what else this song could signify! Thank you for paying attention to the lyrics and knowing that this song could be something other than a 'break-up song' 👌. To be honest when I first heard this song I didn't go this deep into the song soo you guys are doing way better than me🤣Keep it Up!💜
Suga wrote this when they were going thinking about disbanding. Thankfully they didn't or we would have lost so many wonderful songs.
I think the majority of ARMY truly doesn't mind the longer videos. We usually know which songs need more time, especially when the reactor's personal taste is taken into account. I was excited to see how long the video was going to be, because it probably meant you were into it. I echo the requests to watch this live - it's breathtaking.
Something I love about Outro: Tear is Suga's stamp on it with the ethereal music mixed with hard hitting lyrics, as well as his singing.
Fantastic reaction and analysis once again.
*For the record, I don't know how to do the whole crown thing, but I've always watched to the end. :)
Watching their LIVE performance of this song was the most surreal experience in my life, no joke. I ain't the only one. please watch the interview of SHAWN STOCKMAN (of BOYZ II MEN) ON BTS'S ROSE BOWL SHOW. He said, their concert was one of the best shows he's ever seen in his life even not knowing one song going in. I myself didn't have big expectation before going in but... it was just unbelievably incredible and made me pay $680 for their next concert. Their concert tickets were so hard to get so I ended up buying a resale ticket. But it was totally WORTH it!
Whoaaa it was that expensive? Was that the ticket close to the stage?
Thanks for the reactions. Love that you did Singularity and Outro: Tear one after the other. Intro: Singularity is the first song on Love Yourself: Tear, while Outro: Tear is the last. This is my favorite BTS album.
Suga wrote this song when they were going to disband so it's about their relationship as friends and brothers
The lyric channel that you used for this video is one of the most accurate that I've seen, so you can try using it for the cyphers
If RM is your favorite you should react to some of his solo work. Check out Joke or Do You!
*Glad you are reading the lyrics and try to analyze :) coz BTS SONGS/LYRICS ALWAYS HAVE DEEP MEANING BEHIND SINCE DEBUT*
Suga wrote this song because they were about to disbanding. So he wrote this song, he showed to members and they all cried together. He told this himself.
I always think anyone's interpretation of a song has value but the only thing i'd say is that i don't think they are talking to a younger version of themselves because of how in the present the lyrics are if you get what i mean (lyrics like "why are you tearing it up" and "goodbye to me are only those moments, flashback" implies that its in the present and the pain is making them remember better times). Its definitely about a goodbye that happened to them in a more recent "moment" and there is a lot of speculation of what it is actually about. Suga said he wrote it about the band disbanding but i don't know if rm ad jhope wrote their verses about that topic. But if you guys relate to it in that way thats very cool
Jhope and rm always write their own verses...
@@ancip485 ....yes i'm saying that suga confirmed he wrote his verse about that topic but idk if rm and jhope wrote theirs about it as well. i think you misunderstood my comment
One thing BTS doesnt really sing about is romantic love. For some reason, most of their songs are about themselves; their inner struggles, ups and downs in their careers, their relationship to members, depression, fears, self-love, self-loathing, self-doubt etc. Most of their songs in which they write their own lyrics are always about themselves and their struggles.
I think this song is about their struggles when all the members had a really hard time in 2018, when many of the members were depressed, confused, and mentally & emotionally exhausted to a point where they actually talked about disbandment. It is a well-known fact among armys that BTS went through some tough times in 2018 due to depression, confusion, fears, and serious burn out. They revealed it in front of fans when they were on stage to receive the artist of the year award in Korea in 2018. All the members were crying while making a speech. While making a speech for the artist of the year award, Jin said that they actually had such a hard time and that members sat down and talked about disbandment. When Jin said it on stage, all the members cried.
I think the depression and fear came from their huge global success, which they didnt really intended or anticipated, so they didnt really know how to deal with such global fame and success. That led to so much confusion, identity crisis, fear, depression, and mental break down among the members. I think this song was about it, about the thought of disbandment and the pain they all felt thinking about disbandment.
Yes, this is a breakup song, but not with a woman but with the members.
Bang PD answer was a month long break vacation Bon Voyage where they bond even closer..
You should have reacted it live in any of their concerts. Some has subtitles too. It's something you should experience. It's like being there experiencing the feeling of their emotion as they rap.
This one actually is a breakup song, but not with a woman. It's the members breaking up with each other. Suga wrote the song in the beginning of 2018 when they talked about disbanding. It's the pain of the end of a dream and the breakup of people who are so close that they literally share an identity. In that respect, you're right about them talking to themselves. BTS is a unit, they are each a part of that whole and that whole was talking about separating into it's individual parts and separating from one another. ARMY didn't know the context of the song until last year, but you should see the live performance. There is no doubt that the pain they sing about was very real. Even the memory hurts them. Also, this is why ARMY loves BTS so much. Their songs are so deep and have so many levels. On one level or another, they really speak to you.
you guys GOTTA react to outro: tear live. it's incredible and j-hope goes off
Ohhhh, I love your theory! It could very well be about themselves! I like that theory a lot, and how you really went into all the lyrics to support that. BTS definitely make their songs possible to interpret multiple ways and I love hearing all the theories. Great reaction! 👑
👑💜 You guys got really close to what we understand is the meaning of this song based on Suga's explanation. Thanks for taking the time to analyze what the lyrics mean to you.
You guys kept getting close so many times. As many others said already..this one IS a breakup song (when bts thought about breaking up). It's a raw emotional song, and I love every bit of it. Can you imagine being a fly on the wall when the boys sat down and Suga played this to them for the first time? I don't know if I could make it through watching. The Live on this is one of the best. 💜
You guys should watch a live/concert version of this song.
👑 Love you guys, and totally don't mind the longer videos. It gives me a perspective I didn't think about. 💜
love how the rapline play with words,when you think you know the plot,but its twisted and had a deeper meaning...💜thank you hopefuly you van react to the live performnce of tear...😊
Shizi was right about Suga rapping at 23:42 !!
Just wanted you to know i don't mind long videos when folks are talking sense and are sincere/ interested in the topic! Loved your analysis and theories!
Suga brought the kernel of this song to the others when they were considering disbanding in early 2018. In my opinion, that's why his verse comes off so aggressive: because it's where the idea for the song started.
Martha! Get the shotgun!🤣 Where have i heard that before? 👑
SUGA’s lyric that spells out T.E.A.R. could come from the acronym for the stages of grief which is T.E.A.R.
Suga said this song is dedicated to the other members when they went through a hard time and almost disbanded in 2018
Should watch the 2018 MMA awards speech, it'll hit you and you'll understand the song more
You mentioned facing yourself, which is actually the 4th album (Japanese) in this series. 3 Love Yourselfs and the Japanese Face Yourself.
That's why I love your reactions, you guys aw re almost on if not, get exactly what the explanation of these raplines are trying to put out. This song is sooo deep, sad. It's basically about the group when they went through a hump a few yrs ago and thought about disbanding. Suga wrote this song, and when members heard it, they all broke down. My favorite song from the rapline!!
This song makes my chest tighten with emotion! Many thanks for reacting
This song live is a must watch
As usual I love watching you guys break it down. Knowing what this song was about (and seeing the Wembley performance which you should really check out, it'll rip your heart out) I pretty much cried the whole time. You nailed it with the fork in the road, but what I really love is that the pain and passion still comes across no matter how interpreted. 💜💜💜
I'm gutted.
On a happier note, I'm glad to know that you are using that amazing deep voice. And never give up the dream, I am in coding school right now so I can continue to act and make movies. And I'm older. I gave it up once, but it made me feel like I had no passion. It wasn't my authentic self. So keep at it. Like the New York Lotto says "Hey, you never know"😘
Many BTS songs fit more than one interpretation, so this for example fits in the LY narrative, it's the ending of the Love Yourself : Tear album, where the "lover" angrily admits that this is a toxic relationship, whether that relationship is with himself or with someone else (deliberately kept vague). Singularity, the beginning of LY:Tear is still the stage where someone is sinking into darkness, losing themselves, losing their voice, erasing themselves in the relationship. Fake Love is the one right after it where they admit point flat that this is a toxic relationship, then Outro:Tear is the last song, and it's basically the ugly breakup...BTS also constantly references and ties songs together so for example the lyrics of Singularity, Fake Love and the one right before Singularity (Outro:Her) have lines that tie those three songs together. Here in Outro:Tear, RM's part references back and flips around lines from songs in the first album in the series, Love Yourself:Her (ex Best of Me) where the lover is still in the illusioned state of Love. It being the last of the album LY:Tear, that bit about "the answer being known" is a reference to the LY:Answer the last album of the LY series.
The other interpretation it also served was personal for BTS as BTS's Suga wrote it in reflection over their almost disbandment in 2018.
Your interpretations were also quite cool. 👑
This song live is epic.. chef kiss..
I really love your analysis. On one level you are very correct. This was part of the album talking about the end of love: end of relationships. At the same time the group has said this was actually specifically written about themselves. 2015 through 2017 were very difficult for the group and they faced a lot of hate. At the beginning of 2018 they sat and talked about the possibility of breaking up. They have never said which members wanted to but I think maybe RM was one because his lyrics talk about self loathing and wondering if he ever loved them at all. As though he felt guilty for considering it. Suga clear did not because he sings so aggressively about feeling betrayed. When the song was presented to the group they all cried. It shows you that songs can have multiple meanings and they're all pretty legitimate.
You guys are so good with words, i feel like watching talkshow or listening to radio, it doesn't boring at all watching the whole video, i'm enjoying it so much and i think it's so cool how you interpreted their lyrics 😍
Can i have a request? Please react to 'Boy Meets Evil' perform by j-hope, thank you guys ❤️🙏🏻
👑 Great video as always guys. Love the interpretation and hearing both of your perspective on this song. I cackled at the mini bloopers 🤣 Personally I love longer videos when you are reacting to BTS. Seeing how invested you guys at their art really makes me happy as Army 🥰
👑 love both your reaction and interpretation. 30+ min video sign me in 😁
Bts almost disband .. But luckily tgey manage to stay together . At that time Suga made this song "tear"..he play to his members they all cried
The song was written by yoongi for the BTS members were having a hard time as a group and they were a bit depressed
There are live version performances with very good subtitles. You should check that out.
please react to Tear live at Wembley.. or you can watch it on your own time..
This is one of my favorite from the rap line. You can feel the emotions by each member esp J-Hope. I’m glad they didn’t break up because we are benefiting from their staying together. I enjoyed your reaction.
Well, it kinda is a break up song.. theres just no romance involved. This is one of the only songs where i love Suga being aggressive, usually his music is too aggressive for my taste. In the end, i think Jhope took this song with his ending, thats also propably why they desided to put him last in this song.
