1K likes nice but on the other hand i feel for BTS the shit peoplehave put them through and continue to put them through it baffles me how they still stay strong
so why are we living? what are the purpose we're living? why we living if going to die? tbh, i want to talk to rapmon. i wish because he seems like can read my mind. i mean, the way he thinks almost the same like me.
My religion answers those questions but I still wonder sometimes. I strongly believe in my religion but sometimes you gotta wonder why we're in this world, if there is a divine being that made us, is there other beings like us out there and how long is forever?
RapMonster is honestly one of my favourite artists of all time..he writes songs that have meaning to him, and songs just for the fun of it, but no matter what, they are all special to him. He writes the lyrics about what he has been through or what other people are going through, etc..he's such a good artist and I honestly love him so much. The lyrics in this song (like many others) are deep and meaningful. He works very hard on his music and I wish more people appreciated him.
ruby canfora tried listen to what am i to you, RM write a really intense heartbreaking lyrics and that song is a cover. Plus,he is a hiphop artist, so he would write and cover a wide range of musics style .
This is my favorite song on his mixtape. NamJoon is not my bias because sometime I get scared of him. It's not that I think he is a scary person, but I am scared of how he revealed about the dark thoughts that I have, and the me that I try to deny. He put them into words so eloquently, he gave that part of me life, while all I did was trampled on it, locked it and hide it away from the world in fear that people will judged me. So I am scared of him because how he courageous he is, something that I don't have. I should admire him and sometime I do, I should. But I also feel ashamed that I couldn't embraced myself as well as he did.
you can and you will within time if you want to embrace yourself. Trust me I'm working on it myself but don't be scared of him and look at him as someone who is brave but not as Rap Monster. Think of him as Kim Namjoon, a fellow human being who experiences the same shit we experience. I'm working on embracing a new mindset which is to have confidence and to never falter and to not give a shit on what anyone else thinks of me because their thoughts don't impact me unless I allow it to. Honestly I can't believe how ridiculous it was for me to allow for strangers' thoughts to control me and force myself to suppress my true self. A post of tumblr led me to really think about this and how I've allowed it to impact me. (Tumblr ikr but it's my favorite place to visit) I wish luck and hope on your journey to embrace your true self.
honestly listening to this song and reading your comment made me cry. namjoon is truly an amazing person. I always denied him from being my bias just because i was incredibly blinded by the other member's looks and fun& always happy personalities.. etc, but I feel like I always knew namjoon took that place. He has such a beautiful outlook on life and loving yourself. Thank you so much Kim Namjoon for talking about these things and showing others that we as humans feel these things, I love you.
MilunaUtaite same that's the first thing I want to do when I meet him but I might get scolded and embarrassed also kicked out to so maybe next time when I have seen him enough lols
I really can't understand how to this day people still sleep on this mixtape. I don't understand people. Is it because they think he's unattractive and therefore don't care to listen to his music? why? WHY? He deserves so much more, his music is so beautiful...
3 years later and I'm still baffled too. A lot still don't know about his mixtape even though they're globally recognised now. It holds an essence that anyone listening could understand with or without lyrics. Truly a beautiful creation and masterpiece. So much respect for our leaderrrr ♡
Ppl always give the excuse that BTS wasn’t as popular 2015 so when RM2 comes out they better not sleep on it again. Istg if they do Imma hate this fandom forever
Every time I'm going to hear one of RM's solo songs I'm like ''okay brain, prepare your shit to colapse philosophically and explode.'' :) dammnn Namjoon bias wrecker ily
Aliza Lee i think there was within the fandom but because they from small company and not that big or have that many fans as now that is the difference
Maybe because people don't look too much into Rm's mixtape,and give more attention to Bts togheter's songs.It sucks because Rm,Yoongi,(I wanted to say Hoseok but his mixtape is very famous lol) and their older older songs don't get that much appreciation but there are so much bops.
Half of the reason is he release his mixtape 2015/16 when they still had a small following, so it wasn't hyped up like Hope World and many new ARMY won't know of it
He makes me feel like I'm not alone. No one likes talking about the darker sides of life. We just pretend there's no such thing and smile all the time.
I really respect Namjoon. He and Yongguk are always deep and accurate in their lyrics I love the way they say it ^^ It's always make me think of myself, my life and the world
+MatokiGotNoJams Monterlude, Suicide, U can't do it, Something, O!rul8,2 intro, Who am i to you? Did you watch these songs by Namjoon? And, of course, he is really awesome rapper and lyricist :)
Of course namjoon can write deep lyrics because he felt it and experienced it. Which hurts me so much all this baby wanted to do was rap and make people love and support him yet it was nothing he expected. I love namjoon so much I want to hug him and show him all my love but he's not mine to love and be with as much as it hurts me it's the truth.
RM said when he was trainee, it was emotional for him to see his friends leave the agency. He said in his HYYH endment stage that he had seen all types of situation of an idol trainee. It's very considerate of him to write this song. Besides, many things he said i realized not to late but at least i realized for my good sake. He said, 'i live to understand people but why don't people try to understand me.' It strikes hard when you realize it. thank you so much rm, you are my daily saviour of the day.
"We wanna be right, but always wrong" That line caught me and i couldnt help but relate to this and tear up.. We wanna be the best of ourselves and fulfil what was expected of us from others, yet we just fall deeper into mistakes and disappoint them more. In the end, we are just all alone and the ones fighting with our own battles to show a better side of us. Sometimes you think that people you trust are at your side, but they are not and you are just left abandoned and betrayed. Life... is that what it is about?
Lynn Eksonyeondan thank so i just looked him up and found a song that i now love xD this producer was talented. btw thanks for the lyric video ! i have watched almost all of your BTS lyric videos and love them.
this was the song I listened to when I was crying myself to sleep because I was extremely depressed--and now listening to it again after more than a year makes me wanna break down I can never truly verbally express how much bts has helped me grow and how much they changed my life. Bangtan was my coping mechanism.If it weren't for them I would've probably done something very stupid to myself and I wouldn't be like this or even be here now. I have so much respect for Bangtan. I have so much respect for Namjoon. Thank you for being there for me when the whole world was against my existence! I am so proud of how far you and the rest of Bangtan have come,I wish you all the Happiness!!
Hey! You’ve made it this far and you’re doing amazing, you talk about how you’re proud of bangtan, but I can promise you that they are proud of YOU. You’ve been so incredibly strong and brave, I hope you know that 💜 You’re a beautiful human who was born an original, one out of billions, that’s how special you are, never forget that. And don’t forget that life isn’t a competition but it’s a journey, one that can sometimes be troublesome and difficult, and I can’t promise overcoming such obstacles will be easy, but I can promise it’ll be worth it.
RAPMON should sing more he has a nice voice and should use it while it's there I don't k ow why he's not in the same line with all the other vocalist and can still be in the rap line like omg he has such a beautiful singing voice and he can sing the low parts with V
I am here reading all the comments from 5years ago 4years ago and 3 years ago. This is 2020 December. Joon is now a Grammy nominated artist. Thank you for supporting him since then. You guys make me believe in the goodness of this universe. 💜
this is absolutely stunning and the lyrics are so deep and well written. this is the only solo song/rap of namjoons I've heard (shame on me, yes, but I'm a new army) but it's amazing. he's a really talented and intelligent man. ❤️
BecauseTheInternet AHHHH. I know you're just a fan of his but idk why I suddenly imagined that Gambino wrote this comment. 😂 Also your comment is 1 year old and this is late but thank you for appreciating it ! :)
This is so amazing... he is a splendid writer/lyricist; he is a great, thought-provoking and emotive rapper too!!! This song is so amazing... his whole mixtape 'RM' is a masterpiece. Thank you for this wonderful video ^^
well i'm in my deep hours right now so i just wanted to share. this'll probably be a little long **sighs** first of all, i really respect rm for being an extremely expressive, deep, thought-provoking and realistic rapper. this song is honestly my favorite out of his whole mixtape. i really appreciate his music, thoughts and lyrics. i love how human he is and how deep he can go in the depths of his mind. second, about this song; i personally think it really gives you a real piece of how life is. based off of the lyrics and some of the thoughts i've had, life is contradictory in all aspects, the way you act, how you would handle things, your thoughts, your words, your actions. you can be wrong, you can be right, you can be unsure. you can be lonely, you can be wanting alone time, you can be falling in love. and life is simply full of obstacles and surprises, you don't know what tomorrow brings, it could be the same, it could have a twist, but it's always different in at least [or even] the littlest ways. life is long, life is short, death is inevitable. are we living to die? or are we dying to live?
I really wish he'll win the best lyricist award coz my gosh his lyrics are in another level. He brings out our innermost feelings and thoughts out in the open. And he write it so beautifully too. That's a true artist right there. :) He's like a modern day Shakespeare with a bucket full of Socrates, Nietzsche and whoever philosophers out there combined. And wahla: Rap god. And kudos to the translators in trying to translate his words as close as possible to the original version is. I bet it wasn't easy either. Thank you for your hard work.
Kim Namjoon, you’re definitely wise beyond your age. Stick to what you believe in and don’t be swayed by what the world likes or considers trendy. We’ll cheer for our genius Namjoonie from here.
The world needs an artist who sees the truth & reveals it to others. One who can express the human experience so vividly that you can feel the emotions in their music. I believe Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster) has become the artist that the world needs and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you RM for being the light in this world & showing us as listeners what others cast aside and ignore. Best wishes Kim.
Rapmonster is the best at writing music. You can always tell he puts a lot detail in the lyrics and works hard thinking about them. Honestly he deserves more attention. I love his music so much. And honestly can rapmonster be my language arts teacher 😂
from anger and hatred to loving himself and appreciate the world more, RM's growth is a living example that things can be rough and cruel to us sometimes but the light is always there elsewhere in the world, the more we learn and fight to it the more we see it. people might think that his success is pure luck but no it's not, it is because it's the fruit of the hardships and a tough fight of acceptance of his life that he is happy and forgiving now, have you seen him these days? he is glowing, a peaceful light in him is really a beautiful thing for us to witness, rough road may come in their lives in the future but i believe he will eventually overcome it with his six brothers in tow, as an army who was born in 2015 his growth as a person and an artist is really a heartwarming to witness, he is indeed my role model. i don't know if i'm making any sense lol but if he can do it i can too.
I'm dumbass bc I have not listened lyrics before that well. This song is actually masterpiece. If RM released it now, it would get more attention bc he's famous, not maybe bc of the meaning of this song. Also this song was released while BTS and RM developed with their career. This belongs here, old lovely times. I love Namjoon's way to tell dark things. He's amazing and I appreciate him so much.... There's so many reasons why he's my bias. Kinda "hidden" talent.
I finally get his face... Yin and yang, good parts of life and bad parts, all that Being able to appreciate beauty and happiness because of having experienced suffering
CaRMen flores I know. A lot people don’t know that he has a lot singles but I and some people never sleep on him. He’s my bias so I always listen to his stuff
Such a beautiful song. His first mixtape is really good i still listen to him on soundcloud. I really hope many people will found more about him. RM is so talented i mean i love ALL his songs!! :)
am here I'm here in 2023. This song is as fresh as ever. Our beautiful Namjoon. First album done and brilliant. I look at the comments here and they are from 3-7 years ago. Well he is even more amazing now. On top of the world at 29 and soon to get ready for military. Reunion in 2025. contracts all signed. Love him. So glad if you are reading this. Borahae.
Namjoon...he is a true genius! I don'T care about his looks, his fame or anything that is regarding the outer appearance.. His music is brilliant! He helps soooo many people with his deep thoughts, conversations and songs. He is always in doubt, if he really deserves all the love and appreciation that people have for him...But he definitely does deserve the world!! Touching hearts and souls! I admire him and love him so much!
The aesthetic I get from this song: it’s like early October. A girl with a sweater, skater skirt, and thigh high socks is reading or drawing or writing on her bed. Outside it’s raining. Next to her is a mug of tea and some candles (Basically some quality autumn and lofi aesthetics)
RM's songs are so deep that I have to listen to them for about a hundred times, read comments, and theories on the net, to completely understand them. And that's exactly why he pulls me in.
Honestly while reading the lyrics I felt like I was watching a video talking about how once in a while everyone just sits down and thinks like am I in even real or do I matter. Those are the vibes I got off of thus song and it was so good I I got chills, the melody is so good and heavenly but with the lyrics it's eerie in a way, I love it I respect this man so much, he is so wise and really puts meaning into his lyrics. It can be about happy things, sad things, talking shit to people who didn't belive in bts. It's just whenever you hear his kusic you can feel his emotion and kind of see into how he thinks and feels
i've been going through a very rough time lately and BTS's and RM's solo songs really have helped me cope. even just reading the lyrics make me feel a bit better, i'm so glad BTS exist.
I wish this album was on Spotify, this song is just so beautifully written and has an eerily real vibe to it and the mellow tone really creates a relaxing but mysterious atmosphere, almost like a dream. For me this song is perfect for when I feel uncertain about the world
I honestly adore Namjoons work. The lyrics are deep and meaningful and it hurts that he is slept on so much. He deserves so much more appreciation. I just love this song especially. I get a lot of like lofi hiphop vibes from this. I hope he will be appreciated for everything he does.
This dude just put the words i’ve always wanted to express my whole life but couldn’t because i never find the right words in a mixtape song yo namjoon i love you
the thing about namjoon is, he makes music that sounds good *and* has deep meanings. this is one of the many reasons why i love him. we need more beautiful souls like him on this earth.
I discovered this song so late but i do not regret to listening to this song and i’m a little disappointed that people still sleep on his talent and himself, maybe some day they will be curious, i really hope. And a lot of love to that amazing man who deserves much more appreciation😭
Life lyrics Pulled in just one glass of soju and felt it living is consecutively awareness and loneliness whether you have many people around you or not the little me inside myself was always lonely why is there no opposite word of loneliness? could it be because people, until they die, have no moments of not being lonely? even if our surroundings are boisterous, it’s necessary to seek a moment to be alone yeah that’s a life we live inside danger through the reward that makes us able to see this beautiful world flak jackets and streetlamps and sturdy cars until the time that we die perfectly we can’t protect everything from the moment that everything is born life is more beautiful knowing that we’ve taken a loan on death even light is treasured more when there’s darkness the sunshine appears after we’ve passed through the storm life, fall in love life receives injuries from us and is lonely because of the wind and we wanna be right but always wrong were we born to be wrong? is life something like that? (in the end, for our whole lives we don’t know what tomorrow will be) (even if we say we’ll tear this building down, we can’t avoid it) we tryna be bright but always dark we still don’t know if we’ve lived to the extent that we can the world is one decalcomania the people I thought were on my side can change and become vicious like folding paper, a problem that ends if we go have relationships in a moment he can be sneering at me from the other side it’s just the same, but kid, there’s no need to get mad some parents don’t have children when they stand in front of money we have to set it ablaze, because the world is too cold so nobody can know, rather than doing me at times we’re right, I don’t know if there’ll be a time when it doesn’t seem wrong but the thing that we all learned at some point was how to step on someone, to catch them, to erase them, to hate them fuck all the peace and love, I know that that’s the natural enemy of success that’s too obvious logic follows like a sheep, those quotations becoming audible make me even sadder. so what am I doing, as expected I’m only talking but it’s just a breeze that brushes against someone life, fall in love life receives injuries from us and is lonely because of the wind and we wanna be right but always wrong were we born to be wrong? is life something like that? were we born to die, were we born to live were we born to die, were we born to live are we living to die, or are we dying to live the nametag with my name on it, is that my life? or is it death who knows… life, fall in love life receives injuries from us and is lonely because of the wind and we wanna be right but always wrong were we born to be wrong? is life something like that? (in the end, for our whole lives we don’t know what tomorrow will be) (even if we say we’ll tear this building down, we can’t avoid it) we tryna be bright but always dark we still don’t know if we’ve lived to the extent that we can
I listened to Joon's first mixtape a few months after becoming a fan of BTS and I loved Life so much, it really spoke to me. I'd listen to it every morning while I ironed my clothes and got ready for the day. The melancholy in his voice was just perfect for the early morning

this song is like sitting alone in a cafe accompanied with a good book and people are just passing by
kyul kyung right just a good casual and soothing song with a lot of deep meaning and nice beats and tones
Don't forget the background rain
And it's raining outside, that would be perfect.
kyul kyung you just explained my thought
I'm literally alone in a cafe with a good book and a coffee. Just me and my depression just like any other day.
_Are we living to die? Or are we dying to live?_ His lyrics are so deep (*-*)
+JungKookieee: BTS ARMY ikr, i got goosebump when read that part
so why are we living? what are the purpose we're living? why we living if going to die? tbh, i want to talk to rapmon. i wish because he seems like can read my mind. i mean, the way he thinks almost the same like me.

Army-L i also think this often
Your name gave me life.
RM is really something else, he writes so well and deep! thank you for the lyrics
I always think if these people who have commented years ago are still an army
RapMonster is honestly one of my favourite artists of all time..he writes songs that have meaning to him, and songs just for the fun of it, but no matter what, they are all special to him. He writes the lyrics about what he has been through or what other people are going through, etc..he's such a good artist and I honestly love him so much.

Wow these comments hit me hard
This is exactly how I feel too. He is an inspiration, really.
I should say this to some person who hates Rapmons lyrics
So this is how Rapmon sounds like if he was the vocal role. Now I know.
J-Hope is Mah Bias he sounds even better in "I know" and "Fools" :)
Sexy Kim Taehyung Right. I'm in love with his voice

Dont forget Monterlude
Dont forget reflection
I really want to hug him.

These lyrics are beautiful. I have deep respect for this man. Rap Monster never disappoints.
Rida P agreed
again~ rapmon with his deep lyrics. i respect this leader so much
Miss Jeon yup
I hope he takes great pride in this song, because here I am today still obsessed with it as much as when I first heard it 5 years ago!
I feel the same way
Of course namjoon can write deep lyrics because he felt it and experienced it. Which hurts me so much all this baby wanted to do was rap and make people love and support him yet it was nothing he expected. I love namjoon so much I want to hug him and show him all my love but he's not mine to love and be with as much as it hurts me it's the truth.
2023, and still here. While this song is still underrated. UNDERRATED. His whole first mixtape is UNDERRATED.
RM said when he was trainee, it was emotional for him to see his friends leave the agency. He said in his HYYH endment stage that he had seen all types of situation of an idol trainee. It's very considerate of him to write this song. Besides, many things he said i realized not to late but at least i realized for my good sake.

Jin the Banana i feel this way too your comment is on point
Rap-singing Namjoon is something else.
Once again I'm clapping with tears falling down 😥😥
Aww i have seen you in the commentsection on so many Namjoon songs! You're so cute! Commenting on almost everyone!
I read about J Dilla after listening to this for the first time and it was just sad T_T RM did him justice..
+Lynn Eksonyeondan who is J Dilla? and i am assuming this is a tribute song ?
+Gumi megpoid he was the producer of the original ^^ Idk if it is a tribute but I don't think so xD
Lynn Eksonyeondan thank so i just looked him up and found a song that i now love xD this producer was talented. btw thanks for the lyric video ! i have watched almost all of your BTS lyric videos and love them.
what happened to him?
TTYL Memox he died from an illness i can't remember which one.
this was the song I listened to when I was crying myself to sleep because I was extremely depressed--and now listening to it again after more than a year makes me wanna break down
I can never truly verbally express how much bts has helped me grow and how much they changed my life.
Bangtan was my coping mechanism.If it weren't for them I would've probably done something very stupid to myself and I wouldn't be like this or even be here now.
I have so much respect for Bangtan.
I have so much respect for Namjoon.
Thank you for being there for me when the whole world was against my existence!
I am so proud of how far you and the rest of Bangtan have come,I wish you all the Happiness!!
Hey! You’ve made it this far and you’re doing amazing, you talk about how you’re proud of bangtan, but I can promise you that they are proud of YOU. You’ve been so incredibly strong and brave, I hope you know that 💜 You’re a beautiful human who was born an original, one out of billions, that’s how special you are, never forget that.
And don’t forget that life isn’t a competition but it’s a journey, one that can sometimes be troublesome and difficult, and I can’t promise overcoming such obstacles will be easy, but I can promise it’ll be worth it.
This is a fucking masterpiece. I'm pissed off that Joon's mixtape is so underrated, it deserves a lot more attention
He is a real artist I repect him so much
honestly, people need to appreciate this song more because oh my god
this is one of the best songs I've ever heard....beat and lyrics on point..I don't know...it's just so emotional... relatable
The lyrics are so deep. It's so beautiful. I can never comprehend why people sleep on Namjoon.
RAPMON should sing more he has a nice voice and should use it while it's there I don't k ow why he's not in the same line with all the other vocalist and can still be in the rap line like omg he has such a beautiful singing voice and he can sing the low parts with V
Luna Dragfilia you should listen to his cover of FOOLS with Jungkook because he sings in that and it's amazing
@@wddrshns and 4'o clock and. I know
I am here reading all the comments from 5years ago 4years ago and 3 years ago. This is 2020 December. Joon is now a Grammy nominated artist. Thank you for supporting him since then. You guys make me believe in the goodness of this universe. 💜
this is absolutely stunning and the lyrics are so deep and well written. this is the only solo song/rap of namjoons I've heard (shame on me, yes, but I'm a new army) but it's amazing. he's a really talented and intelligent man. ❤️
You should look up all of his mixtapes (: And look at the lyrics they will make you Laugh/cringe/think/cry honesty
Luna Dragfilia Haha exactly! XD Namjoon gives us all kinds of feels XD
UN pending
honey no, there's no shame on you if you're new, or even if you're a veteran ARMY, sometimes there's hidden gems you don't know about
BTS BigBang thank you, lol! but I guess I'm not new anymore since I wrote that four/five months ago. But thank you for your kind words :')
UN pending
welcome, have a great day/night
the reason i love namjoon is because his lyrics actually hit me hard and made me question life lol thanks lynn, you did a good job as always xoxo :^)
Hi!!!!
Namjoon taking a dilla track & putting his two cents on it is one of the many reasons I have so much respect for him.
Namjoonah's not just rap monster but vocal monster too.
😍😍😍
This so so good for a first mixtape😊😊
BecauseTheInternet AHHHH. I know you're just a fan of his but idk why I suddenly imagined that Gambino wrote this comment. 😂 Also your comment is 1 year old and this is late but thank you for appreciating it ! :)

오랜만에 들으니까 감회가 새롭다.. 랩몬스터 시절 남준이의 믹스테잎이 그 당시 얼마나 나에게 힘이 되어줬는지 알려주고 싶다. 항상 고마워 남준아
This is so amazing... he is a splendid writer/lyricist; he is a great, thought-provoking and emotive rapper too!!! This song is so amazing... his whole mixtape 'RM' is a masterpiece.
Thank you for this wonderful video ^^
DJ Syub it's like a gift from above
DJ Syub it's like a gift from above
This song just fits my mood today.
I have so much respect to this guy 🙇🙇🙇
Same dude
This song makes me hurt for him. At the same time this song helps my depression fade.
this man ( rap monster ) right here tought me what life is I thank him so much
now he changed his name to 'rm'! check other his song like 4 o'clock (ft. Taehyung), change (ft. Wale)
@@dandelion6376 now he made mono :)
Why did I just realized this art now... This is art and it's beautiful
well i'm in my deep hours right now so i just wanted to share. this'll probably be a little long **sighs**
first of all, i really respect rm for being an extremely expressive, deep, thought-provoking and realistic rapper. this song is honestly my favorite out of his whole mixtape. i really appreciate his music, thoughts and lyrics. i love how human he is and how deep he can go in the depths of his mind.
second, about this song; i personally think it really gives you a real piece of how life is. based off of the lyrics and some of the thoughts i've had, life is contradictory in all aspects, the way you act, how you would handle things, your thoughts, your words, your actions. you can be wrong, you can be right, you can be unsure. you can be lonely, you can be wanting alone time, you can be falling in love. and life is simply full of obstacles and surprises, you don't know what tomorrow brings, it could be the same, it could have a twist, but it's always different in at least [or even] the littlest ways. life is long, life is short, death is inevitable.
are we living to die? or are we dying to live?
yes
Your simple words give me a little goosebump
i'm really respect rapmon because he always write the lyrics that make me thinking about the life
i swear half of these views are mine XD
Stavroula Despoiniadi greek army💜 to agapw ayto to tragoudi
same :_)
Army from greeece 😱😱
Thank you for streaming this peace of art ;,)
Stavroula Despoiniadi fr tho I listened to this about 50 times on playlist and everything
this is damn deep, i respect him so much
I really wish he'll win the best lyricist award coz my gosh his lyrics are in another level. He brings out our innermost feelings and thoughts out in the open. And he write it so beautifully too. That's a true artist right there. :) He's like a modern day Shakespeare with a bucket full of Socrates, Nietzsche and whoever philosophers out there combined. And wahla: Rap god.
And kudos to the translators in trying to translate his words as close as possible to the original version is. I bet it wasn't easy either. Thank you for your hard work.
One of my favorite tracks from RM. He delivers a deep message in this track. I love the Blue In Green sample as well.
Rap Monster always manages to move me. ❤ this guy seriously. It's rare to find must with meaning and depth. I admire him so much, like for real.
Kim Namjoon, you’re definitely wise beyond your age. Stick to what you believe in and don’t be swayed by what the world likes or considers trendy. We’ll cheer for our genius Namjoonie from here.
The most aesthetic and existential of bops, joon a king
The world needs an artist who sees the truth & reveals it to others. One who can express the human experience so vividly that you can feel the emotions in their music. I believe Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster) has become the artist that the world needs and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you RM for being the light in this world & showing us as listeners what others cast aside and ignore. Best wishes Kim.
Rapmonster is the best at writing music. You can always tell he puts a lot detail in the lyrics and works hard thinking about them. Honestly he deserves more attention. I love his music so much. And honestly can rapmonster be my language arts teacher 😂
This still to this day has to remain one of my favorite RM solos ever. The lyrics are so thought-provoking and the song just sounds peaceful
Same
THE most underrated song by rm i repeat THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG by Rm
OMG! His thought! His writing skills! I fall in love with this man every single time! someone help me!!! 💓😭💓
“we wanna be right, but always wrong.”
god that hit so deep
from anger and hatred to loving himself and appreciate the world more, RM's growth is a living example that things can be rough and cruel to us sometimes but the light is always there elsewhere in the world, the more we learn and fight to it the more we see it.
people might think that his success is pure luck but no it's not, it is because it's the fruit of the hardships and a tough fight of acceptance of his life that he is happy and forgiving now, have you seen him these days? he is glowing, a peaceful light in him is really a beautiful thing for us to witness, rough road may come in their lives in the future but i believe he will eventually overcome it with his six brothers in tow, as an army who was born in 2015 his growth as a person and an artist is really a heartwarming to witness,
he is indeed my role model.
i don't know if i'm making any sense lol but if he can do it i can too.
I'm dumbass bc I have not listened lyrics before that well. This song is actually masterpiece. If RM released it now, it would get more attention bc he's famous, not maybe bc of the meaning of this song. Also this song was released while BTS and RM developed with their career. This belongs here, old lovely times. I love Namjoon's way to tell dark things. He's amazing and I appreciate him so much.... There's so many reasons why he's my bias. Kinda "hidden" talent.
I finally get his face...
Yin and yang, good parts of life and bad parts, all that
Being able to appreciate beauty and happiness because of having experienced suffering
And y'all sleeping on him SMH
CaRMen flores I know. A lot people don’t know that he has a lot singles but I and some people never sleep on him. He’s my bias so I always listen to his stuff
I don't like how i just learned about this song :(
I suck for not knowing this till now
Such a beautiful song. His first mixtape is really good i still listen to him on soundcloud. I really hope many people will found more about him. RM is so talented i mean i love ALL his songs!! :)
Gosh I love Rapmon so much. He's not my bias, but I would totally date him 😂❤
The video is awesome btw 😍
am here I'm here in 2023. This song is as fresh as ever. Our beautiful Namjoon. First album done and brilliant. I look at the comments here and they are from 3-7 years ago. Well he is even more amazing now. On top of the world at 29 and soon to get ready for military. Reunion in 2025. contracts all signed. Love him. So glad if you are reading this. Borahae.
I am blessed to be alive in this era to hear rap monster sing.....his voice just touches my soul
My brain can't handle this much feels and namjoon's philosophy. This is what happens when you're an artist and you have an IQ of 149(?i think)
dont touch my faceu I think his Iq is 148.
nilgun aslan It doesnt matter how high his IQ is. You don’t have to be smart to feel or understand other’s feelings
148 i believe but same
Namjoon...he is a true genius! I don'T care about his looks, his fame or anything that is regarding the outer appearance.. His music is brilliant! He helps soooo many people with his deep thoughts, conversations and songs. He is always in doubt, if he really deserves all the love and appreciation that people have for him...But he definitely does deserve the world!! Touching hearts and souls! I admire him and love him so much!
Why the hell am I just hearing this dude’s talent right now
Lol i just listened to this song xD Gotta love it when rapmon sings ^^
Thanks for the translations!
WE WANNA BE BRIGHT BUT ALWAYS DARK (where do you even get those ideas into your brain nam joon?)
omgogmgogm I love this song and it's meaning and his soft hoarse rapping and his beautiful raw singing... I just love him so much
Wow! This is one of my fav rm songs!
indeed, RM IS THE BEST!
His voice is so beautiful that I can't even read the words through tears..
This giving me chills honestly. His lyrics speaks to reality
His VOCAL!!!! KIM NAMJOON is underrated for his vocal. u know he always make it look like he can't sing cause he knew we won't survive!
I feel like Rapmon can write a deep ass song about something so simple like for example: ' someone taking his food ' but, RM is bias asf
hahahaha yes
Yasss love namjoon
The aesthetic I get from this song: it’s like early October. A girl with a sweater, skater skirt, and thigh high socks is reading or drawing or writing on her bed. Outside it’s raining. Next to her is a mug of tea and some candles
(Basically some quality autumn and lofi aesthetics)
RM's songs are so deep that I have to listen to them for about a hundred times, read comments, and theories on the net, to completely understand them. And that's exactly why he pulls me in.
yo this bop is so underrated😭
why is this underrated his vocals, his rap, him in general like yall are sleeping on my bias not knowing what you are missing ughh
Honestly while reading the lyrics I felt like I was watching a video talking about how once in a while everyone just sits down and thinks like am I in even real or do I matter. Those are the vibes I got off of thus song and it was so good I I got chills, the melody is so good and heavenly but with the lyrics it's eerie in a way, I love it I respect this man so much, he is so wise and really puts meaning into his lyrics. It can be about happy things, sad things, talking shit to people who didn't belive in bts. It's just whenever you hear his kusic you can feel his emotion and kind of see into how he thinks and feels
i've been going through a very rough time lately and BTS's and RM's solo songs really have helped me cope. even just reading the lyrics make me feel a bit better, i'm so glad BTS exist.
I hope you’re doing better now
@@KilluaZoldyck-qx9jf ty u are so sweet 🥺💕
I wish this album was on Spotify, this song is just so beautifully written and has an eerily real vibe to it and the mellow tone really creates a relaxing but mysterious atmosphere, almost like a dream. For me this song is perfect for when I feel uncertain about the world
He can't cause he needs to pay several artists for the usage of their beats
@@leonidaslazos6828 yeah, and also the man who made this beat died in 2006 so i cant even think of how he could get this cleared
I honestly adore Namjoons work. The lyrics are deep and meaningful and it hurts that he is slept on so much. He deserves so much more appreciation. I just love this song especially. I get a lot of like lofi hiphop vibes from this. I hope he will be appreciated for everything he does.
He has such a beutiful voice when singing, he should sing more. And the lyrics oh god.. The lyrics.. Such an inteligent angel.
It's so relaxing and calm
This dude just put the words i’ve always wanted to express my whole life but couldn’t because i never find the right words in a mixtape song yo namjoon i love you
the thing about namjoon is, he makes music that sounds good *and* has deep meanings. this is one of the many reasons why i love him.
we need more beautiful souls like him on this earth.
I discovered this song so late but i do not regret to listening to this song and i’m a little disappointed that people still sleep on his talent and himself, maybe some day they will be curious, i really hope. And a lot of love to that amazing man who deserves much more appreciation😭
Listening to this makes me feel close to him such an underrated song
This song's really a masterpiece.
Life lyrics
Pulled in just one glass of soju and felt it
living is consecutively awareness and loneliness
whether you have many people around you or not
the little me inside myself was always lonely
why is there no opposite word of loneliness?
could it be because people, until they die, have no moments of not being lonely?
even if our surroundings are boisterous,
it’s necessary to seek a moment to be alone
yeah that’s a life
we live inside danger
through the reward that makes us able to see this beautiful world
flak jackets and streetlamps and sturdy cars
until the time that we die perfectly we can’t protect everything
from the moment that everything is born
life is more beautiful knowing that we’ve taken a loan on death
even light is treasured more when there’s darkness
the sunshine appears after we’ve passed through the storm
life, fall in love
life receives injuries from us and
is lonely because of the wind and
we wanna be right
but always wrong
were we born to be wrong?
is life something like that?
(in the end, for our whole lives we don’t know what tomorrow will be)
(even if we say we’ll tear this building down, we can’t avoid it)
we tryna be bright
but always dark
we still don’t know if we’ve lived to the extent that we can
the world is one decalcomania
the people I thought were on my side can change and become vicious
like folding paper, a problem that ends if we go have relationships
in a moment he can be sneering at me from the other side
it’s just the same, but kid, there’s no need to get mad
some parents don’t have children when they stand in front of money
we have to set it ablaze, because the world is too cold
so nobody can know, rather than doing me
at times we’re right, I don’t know if there’ll be a time when it doesn’t seem wrong
but the thing that we all learned at some point was how
to step on someone, to catch them, to erase them, to hate them
fuck all the peace and love, I know that that’s the natural enemy of success
that’s too obvious
logic follows like a sheep, those quotations becoming audible
make me even sadder. so what am I doing, as expected I’m only talking
but it’s just a breeze that brushes against someone
life, fall in love
life receives injuries from us and
is lonely because of the wind and
we wanna be right
but always wrong
were we born to be wrong?
is life something like that?
were we born to die, were we born to live
were we born to die, were we born to live
are we living to die, or are we dying to live
the nametag with my name on it, is that my life?
or is it death
who knows…
life, fall in love
life receives injuries from us and
is lonely because of the wind and
we wanna be right
but always wrong
were we born to be wrong?
is life something like that?
(in the end, for our whole lives we don’t know what tomorrow will be)
(even if we say we’ll tear this building down, we can’t avoid it)
we tryna be bright
but always dark
we still don’t know if we’ve lived to the extent that we can
Those are some of the deepest lyrics I've ever read.
I listened to Joon's first mixtape a few months after becoming a fan of BTS and I loved Life so much, it really spoke to me. I'd listen to it every morning while I ironed my clothes and got ready for the day. The melancholy in his voice was just perfect for the early morning
I'm glad you discover this song ❤️
This song is still on my playlist. RM sounds amazing. I just love the whole vibe of this song.
What is life even? I don't even know. We'll all die anyways so.. what's the point of knowing? I'm such a pessimist.
this song describes how I feel so well
the influence of J Dilla is immortal.
Hat off, he is spitting so hard on this beat.
rip Jay Dee.
I can never stop listening to this song no matter how many years pass. I love and respect Namjoon so much. He is such an amazing human.
