You, who’s dreaming while looking at me
I’m always here behind you, so don’t worry too much
If you’re afraid to crash, I’ll willingly receive you
– those who are afraid of crashing down, he’s always behind us ready to catch us when we crash/fall
So you don’t suffer like I did
You, who sacrifice your sleep for your dreams, it’s okay to rest
– it’s okay to pause and take a breath or rest for a while
For today, don’t even dream
When you silently give me a light smile
Only then, I feel a little relieved
[Verse 1: Agust D]
It may be very difficult, this road I’ve walked on
It may have looked like a flower path
But, know that it was a thorny path with enemies everywherе
– the path will not always be sunshine and rainbows, enemies are everywhere and filled with thorns. Those enemies can be interpreted as hardships or struggles we may face in our journey
I hope you never forgеt the one who throw flowers on the road for you
When you’re laughing, don’t forget the one who cries
‘Cause they live a day on your smile
When you get erased in the repeating schedule
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, if it’s too much for you, you can take a little rest
Cry out loud when the world gets ugly
– feeling overwhelmed is normal and it’s okay to take a break when it starts to feel like the whole world is crashing down on you. It’s okay to cry and let it all out.
When the hand that greeted you turned into a pointing finger
You can take a deep sigh and shout “This shit is fucked up”
Because you are no different from anyone else
Why did you choose this painful and lonely road
Never forget the reason, even if time passes
I hope your dream won’t just be left as a dream
I’ll cheer you on anytime, anywhere (Dream)
– he’s hoping that the listener will not just let their dreams be dreams but take action and turn them into reality, in the process he’s always going to cheer us on.
When the petals wither and fall
I’ll cover you good night
When the fog goes away
I’m leaving, bye
Blooming dream
[Refrain: Agust D]
You, who’s dreaming while looking at me
I’m always here behind you, so don’t worry too much
If you’re afraid to crash, I’ll willingly receive you
So you don’t suffer like I did
You, who sacrifice your sleep for your dreams, it’s okay to rest
For today, don’t even dream
When you silently give me a light smile
Only then, I feel a little relieved
[Verse 2: Agust D]
This is a battlefield without gunshots
Your colleagues are also your enemies
– for me this can be interpreted multiple different ways so I’ll give both. For my first interpretation the battlefield and gunshots can refer to the battles we face inside our own minds + heads and the gunshots can be those battles. We are our own enemies and we’re the ones who spends the most time in our own head
– the second interpretation can be directly what was in the lyric, everyone around us may act friendly but they can stab us in the back and be an enemy
The cruel and beautiful good and evil that numbers determines
If I can’t kill others, I must die
This scene isn’t a ring, so why kill someone?
When you hate something you simply used to like
When wishes are blown away by the wind
It’s okay, everything becomes memories and lessons when you look past it
Don’t forget, the world isn’t very patient
– the world doesn’t wait for anyone or anything, it’s constantly evolving and changing as well as time stops for no one. The world keeps revolving with or without you and will demand everything from you.
Don’t ever laugh at other people’s controversies
Because that might happen to you someday
– laughing at someone’s controversies can be interpreted as not laughing at someone’s situations or mistakes as that very thing can happen to you and not to judge others.
Your success will be your leash and shackles
The feeling of walking on a tightrope will suffocate you
– tightropes are often represented as thin and high in the air which can feel suffocating, success comes with its consequences and it will keep you in chained.
Just laugh out loud, as if the world is leaving
Just hold on
Wherever you are
I hope your dream won’t just be left as a dream
I’ll cheer you on anytime, anywhere (Dream)
Chorus: WOOSUNG]
When the petals wither and fall
I’ll cover you good night
When the fog goes away
I’m leaving, bye
Blooming dream
[Post-Chorus: Agust D]
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
Everything will be okay, everything will be okay
– this constant repetition of “everything will be okay, everything will be okay.” acts as a form of reassurance for not only the listener but also Yoongi himself that everything will be okay. Things may not fall into place immediately or right this moment, but things will be okay and hardships are not permanent.
[Bridge: Agust D]
Dream, I will be there for you in your creation ’til the end of your life
– he’ll be with us from the beginning until the end.
Dream, Be generous, wherever you might be
Dream, You will fully bloom, after all the hardships
Dream, The beginning may be humble, but the future will be prosperous
– this reminded me of two Filipino proverbs “Pag may tiyaga, may nilaga” and “Bawat patak ng pawis ay katumbas ng tagumpay” which translates to “If you persevere, you will reap the fruits of your labor.” And “Every drop of sweat is equivalent to success.” Our current efforts and perseverances are not worthless, the fruit of our labor is the visible successes our given efforts.
Dream
[Chorus: WOOSUNG]
When the last petal falls
I’ll accept it, hold tight
When you reach the end of the rainbow
I’ll leave bye
Blooming dream
Refrain: Agust D]
You, who’s dreaming while looking at me
I’m always here behind you, so don’t worry too much
If you’re afraid to crash, I’ll willingly receive you
So you don’t suffer like I did
You, who sacrifice your sleep for your dreams, it’s okay to rest
For today, don’t even dream
When you silently give me a light smile
Only then, I feel a little relieved
[Outro: Agust D]
Dream
“You will bloom after all the hardships”
– another interpretation for this could be directly from one from flowers, they’re constantly dealing with the weather and harsh weathers of the world but in the end they still flourish and bloom after all of their hardships.
“It’s okay, everything becomes memories and lessons when you look past it.”
– This one took me a minute to understand how I interpreted it and put it into words. For me, everything we do or learn from either ourselves or those around us, is a constant memory or lesson. At the moment it may not feel like a lesson or may feel useless at the time, but reflecting back to it. We learn lessons in everything even in the mundane situations of life that might feel a little silly.
– gonna reference another song ‘Toronto’s Window’: “Now that I can see the past with a new set of eyes, My life makes so much more sense now” when we look back at our past memories, a new perspective or lens opens up to us and we can see that memory as a lesson.
“Cry out loud, when the world gets ugly.”
– the world isn’t always going to be sunshine and rainbows constantly, there will be days where it feels like everyone and everything is crashing down on you, it’s okay to let it all out and cry; expressing your emotions and letting it all out is better than bottling it up, the more you bottle it up, those emotions will only bottle up for so long before it pops.
– Another pair of lyrics from my favorite ballad ‘Kidult’ the lyric: “After laughing it off like a grown-up, Even when crying like a child” even adults cry and it’s normal to—even adults have their times when they need to let it all out, we are all human with our own emotions and struggles that come at us like a freight train. The lyrics provide the reassurance to the listener that it’s okay to let it out, you don’t always need to put on the “mature adult” front all the time and it’s okay to act like a child and cry.
