BTS WINGS Listening Post

1. Intro: Boy Meets Evil

My future's light is becoming darker
The path of a dream I lost because of an immature love
My ambition's spite sharpened its knife everyday
But the knife is dulled by the greed that I can't contain
I know everything
This love is the devil by a different name
I called out "don't hold her hand", but my conscience lost
The sharpness of reality that I feel as the days go by
Ripped by reality, tinged red by blood
I didn't think that this greed would become the horn that would call forth hell

Breath, I am short of breath
Closing my eyes every night in a twisted reality, the music box of tragedy that plays
But to be free of this sin, to forget it, I just can't give it up
As those lips were too sweet
I was drunk with love, my future was abandoned
I woke up to see mines all around me
The harsh stares of those around me that I can't bear
I cry out for a miracle in this reality
I was crazily infatuated with you
A fool addicted to the sweetness, yes a fool
I didn't want to let go, the touch of the devil

Too bad it's too sweet
Evil it's too evil

2. 피 땀 눈물 (Blood Sweat & Tears)
My blood, sweat and tears

My last dance
Take it all away, go

My blood, sweat and tears
My cold breath
Take it all away, go

My blood, sweat and tears as well
My body, heart and soul as well
is yours, I know
This is an spell to punish me

Peaches and cream
Sweeter than sweet
Chocolate cheeks
and chocolate wings
But your wings are those of a demon
That sweet(ness) of yours
is in front of bitter(ness) bitter(ness)

Kiss me even if it hurts
Come, tighten me (up)
Until it can't even hurt anymore
Baby, even if I get drunk it's alright, I'll now drink you up
Deep into (my) throat, (with) you as the whiskey

My blood, sweat and tears
My last dance
Take it all away, go

My blood, sweat and tears
My cold breath
Take it all away, go

I want many many many many
I want many many many many
Many many
I want many many many many
I want many many many many
Many many

It's fine even if it hurts, tie me up
(So) I can't escape
Grasp me firmly and shake me
(So) I can't gather my mind together

Kiss me on the lips lips
A secret between just the two of us
I'm deeply addicted to the prison that is you
I can't serve anyone else that isn't you
I swallowed the Holy Grail that is poisonous even when I knew (it was)

My blood, sweat and tears
My last dance
Take it all away, go

My blood, sweat and tears
My cold breath
Take it all away, go

I want many many many many
I want many many many many
Many many
I want many many many many
I want many many many many
Many many

Kill me softly
Close my eyes with your hand
I can't even refuse anyways
I can no longer even run away
You're too sweet, too sweet
Because you're too sweet

My blood, sweat and tears
My blood, sweat and tears

3. Begin

The fifteen year old me who didn't have anything
The world was so big, I was so small
Now I can't even imagine it
Now I can't even imagine myself
who used to have no scent, who used to be empty
Love you my brother, thanks to my brothers
I now have emotions I became me
So I'm me
Now I'm me

You make me begin
You make me begin
You make me begin
Smile with me smile with me
smile with me
You make me begin
Smile with me smile with me

I can't stand
you crying
I want to cry instead
Although I can't

You make me begin
You make me begin
You make me begin
Cry with me cry with me
cry with me
You make me begin
Cry with me cry with me

I feel like I'm going to die when hyung is sad
When hyung is in pain, it hurts more than when I'm in pain
Brother* let's cry cry let's just cry
I don't know sadness well, but I'll just cry
Because because

You made me again
You made me again
You made me again
Fly with me fly with me fly with me
You made me again
Fly with me fly with me
You make me begin
You made me again

T/N: * "hyung" is used to address the members (it's like saying "you")

4. Lie

Tell me
With your sweet smile
Tell me
Tell me like you're whispering into my ears
Don't be like a prey
Be Smooth like a like a snake
I want to escape but

Ah woo woo
Get away away away from me
Get away away from me
Ah woo woo
Whatever it takes, save me, me
Save me

It keeps happening even though I run away
I’m caught in a lie

Caught in a lie
Find the me that was innocent
I can’t free myself from this lie
Give me back my laughter

Caught in a lie
Take me out of his hell
I can't free myself from this pain
Save the me who’s being punished

Want me
The me who has lost the way
Want me
Like always, I

I feel so far away
You always come my way
I repeat again

Ah woo woo
Get away away away from me
Get away away from me
Ah woo woo
Whatever it takes, save me, me
Save me

It keeps happening even though I run away
I’m caught in a lie

Caught in a lie
Find the me that was innocent
I can’t free myself from this lie
Give me back my laughter

Caught in a lie
Take me out of his hell
I can't free myself from this pain
Save the me who’s being punished

I'm still the same me
The me from before is still here but
The lie that's gotten too big
Is trying to swallow me up

Caught in a lie
Find the me that was innocent
I can't free myself from this lie
Give me back my laughter

Caught in a lie
Take me out of his hell
I can't free myself from this pain
Save the me who’s being punished

5. Stigma

I've been hiding it
I tell you something
Just to leave it buried
Now I can't endure it anymore
Why couldn't I say it then
I have been hurting anyway
Really I won't be able to endure it
Now cry
It's only that I'm very sorry towards you
Again, cry
Because I couldn't protect you

Deeper, deeper, the wound just gets deeper*
Like pieces of broken glass that I can't reverse
Deeper, it's just the heart that hurts every day**
(You) who was punished in my stead,
You who were only delicate and fragile

Stop crying, tell me something
Try saying to me, who had no courage
Why did you do that to me then
I'm sorry
Forget it, what right do I have
To tell you to do this, or that

Deeper, deeper, the wound just gets deeper
Like pieces of broken glass that I can't reverse
Deeper, it's just the heart that hurts every day
(You) who was punished in my stead,
You who were only delicate and fragile

I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry ma brother
Even if (I try to) hide it, or conceal it, it can't be erased
Are you calling me a sinner
What more do I have to say
I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry ma sister
Even if (I try to) hide it, or conceal it, it can't be erased
So cry
Please dry my eyes

That light, that light, please illuminate my sins
Where I can't turn back
The red blood is flowing down
Deeper, I feel like dying every day
Please let me be punished
Please forgive me for my sins
Please

(T/N: *Can refer to 'your' or 'my' wound.

**Can refer to 'your' or 'my' heart.)

6. First Love

The corner of my memory
A brown piano settled on one side
In the corner of my childhood house
A brown piano settled on one side

I remember that moment
Way taller than my height
The brown piano that guided me
I looked up to you, I yearned for you
When I touched you with my small finger
I feel so nice mom I feel so nice
I played the piano wherever my hands took me
I didn't know your significance back then
Back then I was content with just looking at you

I remember back during my elementary school days
When my height
Became taller than yours
I neglected you when I once yearned for you so
On top of the white jade-like keyboard
Dust is piling on
Your image that has been neglected
Even then I didn't know
Your significance
No matter where I am
You always defended that spot
But I didn't know that would be the last
You say don't leave like this

Don't worry even if I leave
You'll do well on your own
I remember when I first met you
Before I knew it you grew up
Though we are putting an end to our relationship
Don't ever feel sorry to me
I will get to meet you again no matter what form
Greet me happily then

I remember back then when I met you that
I had completely forgotten, when I was around 14
The awkwardness was only for a moment, I touched you again
Even though I was gone for a long time
Without repulsion
You accepted me
Without you there's nothing
After the dawn, two of us
We welcomed the morning together
Don't let go of my hand forever
I won't let go of you again either

I remember back then
We burned up the last of my teen's
Yes the days when we couldn't see an inch in front of us
We laughed, we cried
Those days with you, those moments are now in memories
I said, grasping my crushed shoulder
I really can't do any more
Every time I wanted to give up
By my side you said
Bastard you can really do it
Yeah, yeah I remember back then
When I was fed up and lost
Back then when I fell into a pit of despair
Even when I pushed you away
Even when I resented meeting you
You were firmly by my side
You didn't have to say anything
So don’t ever let go of my hand
I won't let you go ever again either
My birth and the end of my life
You will be there to watch over it all

The corner of my memory
A brown piano settled on one side
In the corner of my childhood house
A brown piano settled on one side

7. Reflection

I know
Every life's a movie
We got different stars and stories
We got different rights and mornings
Our scenarios ain't just boring
I find this movie very amusing
Everyday, I want to shoot it well
I want to caress myself
I want to caress myself

But you know, sometimes
I really really hate myself
To be honest, quite often,
I really hate myself
When I really hate myself, I go to Dduksum*
I just stand there with the familiar darkness

With the people that are smiling
And beer, which makes me smile
Coming to me softly,
Fear, which holds my hand
It's okay because everyone is in twos or threes
It'd be nice if I had friends too

The world is just another name for despair
My height is just another diameter for the earth
I am all of my joy and anxiety
It repeats everyday,
Hey you, who's looking over the Han River
If we bump into each other while passing, would it be fate?
Or maybe we bumped into each other in our past life
Maybe we bumped into each other countless times

In the darkness,
People look happier than the day
Everyone else knows where they're supposed to be
But only I walk without purpose
But still, blending in with them is more comfortable
Dduksum, which has swallowed up the night
Walks an entirely different path from me
I want to be free
I want to be free in freedom
Because right now I'm happy but I'm unhappy
I'm looking at myself
At Dduksum

I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself

8. Mama

Time travel the year of 2006
Crazy for dance
I tightened my mom's belt
Despite my dad's opposition, every time I attacked
Without paying any concern
(She) floated the small boat of dreams
But I didn't know my mom's support
Was not a open shortcut road
But a road of dreams while gripping debt
Always
The problem of money eventually my mother
Go away
Had to work away from home

Through the phone
I could hear my mom's voice clearly
The thing I remember
My mom's strength at the time was a breaking ball to me
Really
I was determined to succeed
With that promise alone
I became the son I am now

Hey mama
Now you can lean on me I'll always be by your side
Hey mama
Because you gave selflessly to me
Because you were my support
Hey mama
Now you can believe in your son, you can smile
Hey mama
Hey mama

Hey mama
I'm sorry mama
I know now a grace like the heavens mama

Hey mama
So thanks mama
You became my blood and flesh mama

I remember mom
Moonheungdong Hiddink PC room
Broadway restaurant
A veteran who ran on both feet for her family
Failure is the mother of success mother
I learned from that passion and sincerity
Wanna be wanna be
Now when I become an adult
Because you were fertilizer to a sprout
I will become a flower and become your own flower path
You walking on way way way

Hey mama
Now you can lean on me I'll always be by your side
Hey mama
Because you gave selflessly to me
Because you were my support
Hey mama
Now you can believe in your son, you can smile
Hey mama
Hey mama

You had me feel the world
The breath you have created
Today more than usual
I want to be held in your arms
What is higher than anything above the ground*
What is wider than anything beneath the sky
The only one, mother's hand is medicine hand
You are forever my placebo

I love mom

Hey mama
Now you can lean on me I'll always be by your side
Hey mama
Because you gave selflessly to me
Because you were my support
Hey mama
Now you can believe in your son, you can smile
Hey mama
Hey mama

Hey mama
Now you can lean on me I'll always be by your side
Hey mama
Because you gave selflessly to me
Because you were my supp

ort
Hey mama
Now you can believe in your son, you can smile
Hey mama
Hey mama

9. Awake

It's not that I believe (it)
(But that) I want to try holding out
Because this is
All that I can do

I want to remain
I want to dream more
Even so, what (I'm) saying is
That it's time to leave

Yeah it's my truth
It's my truth
I will be covered with wounds all over
But it's my fate
It's my fate
Still, I want to struggle (and fight)

Maybe I, I can't never fly
Like those flower petals over there
Something like having wings, I can't
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
Still, I want to stretch my hand out
I want to run, just a bit more

I'm just walking and walking, among this darkness
My happy times asked me (this question)
You, are you really okay, it asked me
Oh no
I replied, No, I'm so afraid
Still, I hold the 6 flowers tightly in my hands
I, I'm just walking, I said
Oh no

But it's my fate
It's my fate
Still, I want to struggle (and fight)

Maybe I, I can't never fly
Like those flower petals over there
Something like having wings, I can't
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
Still, I want to stretch my hand out
I want to run, just a bit more

Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
Don't cry
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
No lie
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
Don't cry
Wide awake Wide awake Wide awake
No lie

Maybe I, I can't never fly
Like those flower petals over there
Something like having wings, I can't
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
Still, I want to stretch my hand out
I want to run, just a bit more

10. Lost

I'm still standing here with my eyes closed
Lost between the deserts and oceans
I'm still wandering
Where should I go yeah
I didn't know there were this many paths
Paths I can't go and paths I can't take
I never felt this way before
Am I becoming an adult?

Is this harsh path right for me
I am confused
Never leave me alone
I still believe even though it's unbelievable
To lose your path
Is the way to find that path

Lost my way
Constantly pushing without rest
Within the harsh rain storms
Lost my way
Within a complicated world without an exit
Lost my way
Lost my way
I wander
I want to believe in my path

Lost my way
Found my way
Lost my way
Found my way

I once saw an ant going somewhere
There is no way to find the path at once
Without rest, constantly pushing forward
To find something to eat
Wandering for days
You know
There is a reason for all this frustration
I believe that we're on the right path
Once we begin to look for it
We will return home once again
Just like an ant

Is this complicated path the right one
I am so confused
Don't you leave me alone
I still want to believe even though it's unbelievable
To lose your path
Is the way to find that path

Lost my way
Constantly pushing without rest
Within the harsh rain storms
Lost my way
Within a complicated world without an exit
Lost my way
Lost my way
I wander
I want to believe in my path

So long
Goodbye to my hope with no promise
So long
Even though it's late, I will walk with my own feet
Because I know this path is mine to take
Even if I go back, I will always touch this path
I never I will never
I will never lose my dream

Lost my way
Constantly pushing without rest
Within the harsh rain storms
Lost my way
Within a complicated world without an exit
Lost my way
Lost my way
I wander
I want to believe in my path

Lost my way
Found my way
Lost my way
Found my way

I’m a monster, my tail is too long, bae
You’ll shoot me anyway, bae
In that case, a zoo would be more comfortable, bae
You want it too, something to chew on, bae
Even if you don’t like me, YOU KNOW ME
Even if you don’t like me, YOU KNOW ME
I like hate comments more than no comments
I don’t know you
BUT YOU KNOW MY NAME

I love I love I love myself
I love I love I love myself
I know I know I know myself
Ya playa haters you should love yourself
Brr

I wanna get sleep time
Without a chance to rest, we’re receiving spotlight
Ahh you wanna be my life
Those who are starving, just be my human shield
Contacted softly and got spammed on my accord
Haul to the stage all innocent okay
But I can’t be satisfied just being here
I’m climbing up there, high high high
That’s right, my method is different
I take on the road no matter what
Sewing stich by stich
If you’re not able, put an end to it
There is no possibility
Of pronouncing “failure”
I love ma rule, the work that I do with my bros
Players in a league of their own
I’ll become the supervisor above them
So come what may
Following 1VERSE
I’ll draw a bigger picture
For the rest of your life, continue screaming from that position
Dream come true
Honor and wealth isn’t that you
Everyone chu on my foot sole after all***
Click, I’m cat, everyone’s mouse
I choose and put an X like KAWS
I move in next year ma house
And high five with my brick
Open your eyes and look at my ambition
Lean in your ears and listen
This will be the first and final words

I love I love I love myself
I love I love I love myself
I know I know I know myself
Ya playa haters you should love yourself
Brr

Back back to the basic microphone check
Call me a crow tit or badass
Yes in this rap game, I’m the generous one
To rehabilitate the rap men
Who began to slack
Is my first plan hashtag
Sucka betta run
Gang gang in insta
That’s their life
My life is just day by day
Payday paycheck
Rolex on my wrist
Click clack to the bang hang
Click clack to the pow
I’m so high how dare you covet
Even if you run up to it
It’s too high for you to reach
The difference is pretty big, you can’t see it
After shattering your delusions
About your shitty cars
And once everyone’s done toying with them

So fly above your face that became a corpse
Click clack to the bang
you and you
I’m always thankful,
For not earning anything so easily
Why is it my fault,
That your life is noncommittal
Keep on living like that vaguely
Sorry but continue to look because I’m gonna earn more from now
By all means please healthily

I love I love I love myself
I love I love I love myself
I know I know I know myself
Ya playa haters you should love yourself
Brr

I love I love I love myself
I love I love I love myself
I know I know I know myself
Ya playa haters you should love yourself
brr

14. 둘! 셋! (그래도 좋은 날이 더 많기를) (Two! Three! (Hoping For More Good Days)

Let's only walk on flower trails,
I can't say that
Let’s only see good things,
I can't say that either
Saying that there will only be good things from now on
Saying that you won't get hurt
I can't say that
I can't lie like that

Because you're all idols
It sucks even if I don't hear it
I don't like your lyrics
It's a video even if I don't see it (T/N: Meaning that it's already obvious)
Because you don't have power you would certainly
have done dirty deeds
Observing how you act
Soon you'll cease to exist
Thank you so much
Because of all of your self-reproach,
I was able to prove myself something I wasn't able to do when in high school
Hands clapping yes keep on going keep on going
We'll be happy by ourselves
Good yeah I'm good

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories hold my hand and smile

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories
Smile holding onto each other's hands

Hoping for more good days
If you believe what I say then one two three
If you believe then one two three

Hoping for more good days
If you believe me then one two three
If you believe then one two three
Hoping that everything will change when we say,

One two three
For a better day
Because we are together

Me, a shadow behind the stage Me, in the depth of darkness
I didn't want to show everything including my pain
But because I'm still unaccustomed
I just wanted to make you smile
I wanted to do good
So thanks
Believing in someone like me
Dealing with these tears and wounds
So thanks
For becoming my light
For becoming the flower in the most beautiful moment in life

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories hold my hand and smile

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories
Smile holding onto each other's hands

Hoping for more good days
If you believe what I say then one two three
If you believe then one two three

Hoping for more good days
If you believe what I say then one two three
If you believe then one two three

If you believe then one two three
If you believe then one two three
If you believe then one two three
If you believe then two three say

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories hold my hand and smile

It's okay come on when I say one two three forget it
Erase all sad memories

Hoping for more good days
If you believe what I say then one two three
If you believe then one two three

Hoping for more good days

15. Interlude: Wings

Take me to the sky

I remember the young me
Probably because I didn't have any big worries
These small feathers became wings
Because I was full of faith
That those wings would allow me to fly
With the sound of laughter
Like a bird

I go places they tell me not to,
Do things they tell me not to do,
Want things I shouldn't,
Get wounded again and again
You can call me stupid
Then I'll just crack a smile
I don't want to succeed
With work I don't like
I push myself
Word

I trust myself, Since the reason why my back hurts
Is so that wings can sprout
I believe me, you, though the beginning may be humble,
The future will be prosperous
Fly fly up in the sky
Fly fly get 'em up high
This is the path you’ve chosen kid, don't chicken out
This is only the first flight after all uh

Take me to the sky
If only I could fly freely freely
If only I could escape forever ever

If my wings could fly
I penetrate through the air that gets heavier and heavier, and fly
Fly I I fly I fly away

Higher than higher than
Higher than the sky
Fly I I fly I fly away
With all my strength, my rosy* wings

Spread spread spread my wings
Spread spread spread my wings
Wings are made to fly fly fly
Fly fly fly
If my wings could fly

(T/N: *Referring to the rosy sunset light on their wings and also mean blood-stained wings)

I feel like the solo songs should have been for Young Forever as a treat to fans and not on this album =(

That said my fave solos were Jimin's, Jin's, and Hobi's.

둘 셋 was strangely my fave. Slower songs aren't usually my favorite on their albums, it's usually the songs like Dope or Silver Spoon but this one got me weirdly emotional even though I haven't looked the lyrics up lol.

The rest of the group songs were pretty good too but I'm def gonna need to play them while driving to have them grow on me a bit more.

All in all I'm so happy to have new BTS music!

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

My faves are First Love, Awake, and Lost. Really surprised by how much I love Jin's solo but it's soooo good. He did great.

[zuznay.livejournal.com]

Honestly, this doesn't even feel like a k-pop album? I'm shocked by most of these songs, I'm not sure how to even classify most of them.
And of course, I love how personal the lyrics are too, there aren't really any traditional boyband love songs.And even Jin wrote a song by himself! They really push themselves for greater things, wow.

Also, this is me being an annoying Jimin stan, but I hope the people on here that always talk about Jimin not being good enough and not being able to carry a song on his own will change their minds, because Lie is a masterpiece.

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

I will admit I was a bit worried because I wasn't sure, but Jimin's song is one of my favorites.

[solardusts.livejournal.com]

this album is... really unique and a good way like it's just amazing to see their musical growth

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

on my second listen of the album. overall, group songs > solos.

my favs: intro, BST, LIE, all the group songs (esp am i wrong), maybe MAMA
ones I already deleted off my phone: reflection, awake, stigma (tae sounds straight up awful in some parts, but i know that's gonna be a very unpopular opinion lol)

BST is GREAT without the intro and annoying song break. very on trend, but done well.

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

Nah I agree, stigma started out really good but taehyungs voice wasn't the best on it... (I'm happy that they've finally stopped his growling though)

[citrine047.livejournal.com]

how are the charts??? i only know they topped melon and the entire album was in the top14 , but i have no idea about the other charts /bites nails

the second half of this album delivered. the solo tracks were kinda lackluster, i feel regretful about kookie's song , he can deliver so much more

the cypher chorus "I LOVE MYSELF, Y'ALL PLAYA HATERS SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF" i have eyes on my tears lmao bangtan done did it again

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

BTS IS #3 ON THE WORLDWIDE ALBUMS CHARTS, I TOOK A SCREENSHOT, (SEE MY COMMENT BELOW)

now it's #2 on the itunes world wide charts as of 2:28pm cst

AS OF 320PM CDT BTS IS #1 ON THE ITUNES ALBUM CHARTS

[sumo-mo.livejournal.com]

my favs are MAMA and Am I Wrong, they are amaaaazing
i also liked Jimin's and Jin's solos

it's a pretty nice album overall i'm amazed how they get better and better with time

[schoolanswer.livejournal.com]

This is my favorite album from them (and that's hard to say because I didn't really know which one to pick as a fave before).
I love all the songs, maybe the ones I see myself listening more (apart from the title) are Am I Wrong? and 21세기 소녀 (the pre-chorus -specially the music- in that one goddddddd).
I love the individual songs and how they don't feel out of place, at least for me.
Finally a song where V isn't growling yes! I love his voice, I will die the day they have an actual good vocal coach. I could babble about the individual songs all day so I'm going to stop lmao

I'm trash for them and I wasn't even expecting to like it this much. I'm so glad they keep evolving, and their music getting better, while still being their sound. I love being their fan tbh (even if I'm too old to still be having this feelings over boybands lol, I don't care)

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

this is such a good album? i was a bit nervous about the solo tracks at first but man, they executed it well. lie was absolutely amazing, and jimin carried the song well. i love the instrumental for reflection and it's one of my favorites out of the solo songs which i didn't expect at first. some of these lyrics are so personally and i love it. jungkook straight up wrote a love letter to his members and it's so sweet ;__; honestly, their relationship is everything.

i love all the group song tbh. listening to cypher pt. 4, am i wrong (THANK YOU) & 21st century girls back to back exhausted me because i couldn't sit still lmao. i've already discussed the album with other people so i''m at the point where i don't have much to say anymore, except that i'm really happy with the final product and i hope the boys are satisfied and proud of themselves.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

jungkook isn't credited in the description for 'begin' though, it is namjoon

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

this is one album i can listen start to end without skipping songs. i have been slayed over and over again. i think i'm on listen 4? i've obviously lost count.
my faves: blood sweat and tears, am i wrong, lie, awake, cypher 4 is growing on me, but that's what happened for all of the cyphers.

AS OF 2:07PM CST WE ARE #3 ON THE ITUNES CHARTS YA'LL


it's at #2 worldwide album itunes charts as of 2:28pm cst

[abcd123.livejournal.com]

Kinda OT but idk where else to ask - since I don't have twitter and Tumblr is a mess right now lol - why is the trending tag for wings WINGSBR? What does the BR stand for?

I love this album so much! Was a bit iffy on the solo tracks when I first heard they were having them but I do appreciate that they're letting each member shine in his own unique way (sometimes I feel it's hard to cohesively work all seven voices into one song so this is a great way to really showcase their vocals I guess). Fave songs are MAMA, boy meets evil, surprisingly the interlude! AND CYPHER.

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

It's Brazil. They started trending WINGSBR before it was even released, and I think most people just saw that hashtag trending and tweeted it, too. Lmao it should prob just be "wings", but you go and get yours, Brazil.

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

Honestly, this entire album really exceeded my expectations. My fav tracks are probably Blood, Sweat, Tears; Lie; First Love; Reflection; MAMA; Lost; Cypher Pt. 4; and Wings.

But I could listen to all of them at any time, lol. The lyrics are just so, so personal on so many of these tracks, and I love it. They used a lot of orchestrations/strings, too which I loooooooooove.

Lie is just so sexy. Park Jimin, stop.

edit - I forgot to mention. Yoongi's solo tugs at my musician heartstrings, but RM's solo just devastated me lyricwise. =(

[funga-fufu.livejournal.com]

I don't get all the negative comments I've seem because I LOVED this album, from beginning to end. I don't have any favorites so far because I've listened to it only once.
My opinions about each track:

I can say instrumentally Begin was the weakest solo song for me. It was still good though, which says a lot. I love Jungkook's voice.
Lie completely blew me away, it sounds so grand and dramatic.
Stigma is beautiful though I wish it had more of Taehyung's deep voice instead of so many falsettos. I wonder what was the purpose of that.
First Love is just... I almost felt like crying despite not understanding anything.
Reflection is painful, just the english bits were already too sad. Such a beautiful song.
Mama is so cool!! AND it was composed by Primary, damn BTS! Hobi has 2 solos in this album, he must be so happy.
Awake is beautiful as well despite Jin obviously straining a lot with the high notes. I love his vocal tone anyway! Such a sad song too.
Lost is so cool, I love how it sounds different from all the other vocal line only songs.
Cypher pt 4 didn't get me instantly like pt 3 and 2 BUT it's awesome. I can't begin to imagine how cool it'll sound live.
Am I Wrong is soooo good as well, they sound so aggressive.
....As they do in 21st Century Girl which I didn't expect AT ALL. I though it would be more of a romantic/cutesy song LOL I loved it! The lyrics are A+ despite its very small flaws. They've come such a long way since lyrics like Boy in Luv oh my god
And the first official song for the fans with the longass name I forgot. I always expect songs like these to be cliché but this one was, yet again, really good and so cute.
The interlude was a good finish to this amazing album. Sounds like a really good club jam.

I didn't mention the lyrics for each track so let's just say they're all good and some of them are AMAZING.
I hope I'll be able to buy it, I need to have this masterpiece (and the photobook is gorgeous, I'm sure).

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I like their group songs much better than the solo songs. Idk, I felt it was good, but at the same time, it was dragging and going nowhere. I don't really see myself listening to the solos alot afterwards.

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

This is such a good album omg. I saw some people were worried about 21st Centuey Girls and it's possible lyrics but I had faith and was not disappointed.

Right now My favorite tracks are Blood Sweat Tears, Lie, MAMA, Stigma, Awake, Reflection, CYPHER pt 4 and Wings. Though that could change the more I listen to it since I love all the songs. I've listened to the entire album all the way through 3 times already.

Honestly Reflection just made me sad once I read the lyrics though.

[megaffud7.livejournal.com]

OMO FIRST LOVE!!! T__T so its his PIANO. Suga's voice really has magical effect on me I cant really explain, it really does something on me...the the way he delivered his songs --> straight to the heart .. and Im not even an Army nor BTS fan, I even dislike rap before but Min Yoongi aka SUGA aka AGUST D..he's like my most favorite person in kpop now, im glad I tried listening to Bts songs, i never thought I will go back to being a kpop fan again, no one understand me I just want to rant ok.
Off to listen to other songs.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

So I'm slow and have only done one listen through, but overall I think it's a solid album. Even as BTS trash, I have to say not alllll the solo tracks met my expectations. I might be unpopular for this, but I'm not a big fan of Rapmon's singing. I think it's fun for him to do side projects like he did with Kookie, because I know he really enjoys singing, but I'm not a fan of his solo track. Jimin's voice is heavenly, and I love it, but something about the chorus and the verses don't mesh for me. Individually they sound great, but the transition between them seems abrupt? Yoongi and Taehyung's solos have stood out to me the most so far.

I actually saw some of the lyrics to 21st Century Girl before hearing the song, and I was expecting it to be a typical boy band "you're beautiful just the way you are" song, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it had more a harder sound to it. It seemed like more of a "f- them, you do you" type.

Edit: I'm going through each track and reading the lyrics while I listen now. Yoongi's solo gave me chills and made me feel emotional when I first heard it, and this time reading the lyrics made me tear up. I think it's just so touching that he's giving so much gratitude and attention towards the things that have helped him in his life. He also manages to capture the complex emotions everyday situations can bring to a person (like in Move On). Yoongi reaffirmed himself as my bias once again.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I'm impressed by the album. I was surprised by the title track bc it doesn't sound very BTS which is not necessarily a bad thing. There are some songs that I loved from the start like the rest of the group songs and some solos. Then there are some songs that I like and Lost which I find hard to get used to and tbh I think we could do without.

However, after reading the lyrics and calming down after that MV (Jesus..) I can see how much effort and thought they put in this album and I really appreciate that. I love how different the songs sound like bc of their own personal preferences and styles and I love that we can see more of them individually in their solo songs.

The dynamics of the album are changed because the are a lot of solo songs, but I don't mind it that much.

Having said that, imho I Need U remains the superior title track.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Watch me change my mind by the end of the week tho.

JUST FUCK ME UP BTS

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting untily internet is back up fully to listen so I don't use all my phone data but I really like what I've heard so far!!

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

The production quality of this album is some of the best I've heard in any genre, ever.
Stigma, Reflection, and Lie are my faves.

[xoseliey.livejournal.com]

I really like this album ;; Jin's and Jimin's solos are amazing, I'm in love. And I love all the non solo tracks sfm except Am I Wrong I guess it's kinda forgettable?? I loveeee Lost and Two! Three! TaeTae's voice really shines through ;_; And I think I'm the only one who feels this way but Yoongi's solo track was kinda ehhh? The lyrics are beautiful, so artistic, but track itself was a bit... I expected more.
And dead @ all you playa haters you should love yourself lmao. Going to use that until the end of time. Though the 'brr' bit was jarring and cringe inducing..

[leavesabound.livejournal.com]

First listen and I'm surprised how many of the solo songs I really like, I had my doubts. Not the biggest fan of Jungkook's and Rapmon's, but we'll see songs always grow on me.

Overall I really like it.

Boy meets evil remains great, it's such a good opener.

[infj23.livejournal.com]

C&P

So, I now have listened to the entire album.

AM I WRONG SAVED THIS ALBUM (on my fourth listen now). YAAS!!!

The group songs > solo songs. The lyrics to First Love and Mama are take-me-hold-me-never-let-me-go. As songs, loved Am I Wrong, Intro: Boy Meets Evil, Mama, and Lost the most.

I don't know why they insist on Tae singing in falsetto for most of Stigma. Lies--enjoyed the chorus the most; it probably end up being a grower along with 21st Century Girl. Cypher 4, too.

Initially, I thought the album would never reach a climax but the second half is more solid than the first half. It'll be what I listen to the most going forward. Definitely think this J-Hope's era (and happy for him!). As I said in another post, I miss the vibe in their older songs but appreciate they they're willing and trying to branch out. Amazingly, they still retain what makes them them.

[greengirly22.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. Suga hitting me with the feels in cypher pt 4.

[mya13.livejournal.com]

i use to not care for this group and even dislike them but after i need u and save me.mp3 literally saved me i have been saved!

my fave from this album is MAMA, it was the song i was looking forward to the most on this album. that beat has me SHOOK! i also like the title, awake, the intro, lost and begin and i love how first love has the piano of far away in the bg, it made the song tbh.

21st century girl is def being delete tho it's just so damn noisy. the reason why i was turned of from bts b4 is cause some of their songs are just so overproduced and it's not pleasant on the ears.

[mya13.livejournal.com]

omg this album grows on u i even like 21st century girl now i am TRASH <3
