Trivia 承: Love

Produced by Hiss Noise, Slow Rabbit & RM
Album BTS - Love Yourself 結 'Answer'


Is this love
Is this love
Sometimes I know
Sometimes I don't
The next lyrics, um
What should I write, um
Too many words circle around me
But none of them feel how I feel

I just feel it
Like the moon rises after the sun rises
Like how fingernails grow
Like trees that shed their bark once a year
That you are the one who will give meaning to my memories
Who will make a 'person' into 'love'
Before I knew you
My heart was filled with straight lines only

I'm just a human, human, human
You erode all my corners
And make me into love, love, love
We're humans, humans, humans
In that myriad of straight lines
My love, love, love
When you sit on top of it and you become my heart

I live so I love
I live so I love
(Live & love, live & love)
(Live & love, live & love)
I live so I love
I live so I love
(Live & love, live & love)
(If it's love, I will love you)

You make I to an O
I to an O
Because of you
I know why human and love sound similar
You make live to a love
Live to a love
Because of you
I know why a person should live by love

It's a long way from I to U
Fuck, JKLMNOPQRST
I crossed all the letters and I reached you
Look, mine and yours also sound the same
Though that doesn't make me you
I want to be part of your bookcase
I'd like to be involved in your novel
As a lover

I'm just a human, human, human
You erode all my corners
And make me into love, love, love
We're humans, humans, humans
In that myriad of straight lines
My love, love, love
Sit on top of it and it becomes a heart

I live so I love
I live so I love
(Live & love, live & love)
(Live & love, live & love)
I live so I love
I live so I love
(Live & love, live & love)
(If it's love, I will love you)

What if I go?
If I go, would you be sad?
If I wasn't me, what would I be?
Do you think you'll leave me after all?

Wind, wind, wind blowing by
(I just hope not)
People, people, people that will pass by
(I just hope not)
My mood is blue, blue, blue
(In my head, it's blue from top to bottom)
How much I love you
How much, much, much

You're my person, my person, my person
You're my wind, my wind, my wind
You're my pride, my pride, my pride
You're my love (my love)
One and only love (only love)

You're my person, my person, my person
You're my wind, my wind, my wind
You're my pride, my pride, my pride
You're my love (my love)
One and only love (only love)

Note:
Love and people/human are written and pronounced almost the same in Korean language.
Love: 사랑 (sarang)
People/Human: 사람 (saram)

Wind/Breeze: 바람 (bbaram)
Pride: 자랑 (jarang)


PS.
The very sweet and touching about this song is: Namjoon has never use the word "love" or "사랑" in his previous songs and lyrics before. I remember he mentioning about this before in one of the video in Vlive (maybe?), that he has some kind of hate/fear towards the word or towards love. But here he dedicated the whole song for the word 'love', even the title.

Serpihan Pasir

“In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Kadang aku ga ngerti kenapa aku lemah sama hal-hal kayak gini.
I mean, it's not even my problem.
But here I am, staying awake, unable to sleep, and trying to let all of this emotion go by writing this post.
So that I can stop the urge to cry and feel the misery.

Rasanya ga cuma bikin aku feeling hopeless, tapi juga bikin aku merasa restless dan nelangsa.
Jauh lebih hopeless dibanding waktu sesenggukan nonton My Mister.
Pengen teriak buat ngelepasin emosi, tapi apa daya cuma bisa netesin air mata.


Mungkin, kerna ini ga cuma di drama tapi di kehidupan nyata.
Bukan cerita baru, bahkan sebenarnya udah berlalu.
Tapi ntah lah, kok ya hidup gini amat ya.
Kalo aku yang dengar aja rasanya gini, gimana orang yang ngejalani.
Ya Allah, mungkin aku ga akan kuat.
Ngebayanginnya aja aku ga kuat.


Tapi ya memang hakekat manusia adalah makhluk yang punya kemampuan survival.
Mungkin kerna itu disebutkan bahwa "Allah ga akan ngasih cobaan yang ga bisa diatasi hamba-Nya".
Ketika kamu mampu mengatasi hal besar, tanpa kamu sadari kamu juga sudah bertambah besar untuk melaluinya.

Apalah aku ini, yang sekarang jadi ngerasa ternyata masalah-masalahku mungkin cuma serpihan pasir di lautan.

Ramadhan 1439 H

Udah bertahun-tahun ga ikutan tarawih berjamaah di Masjid dekat rumah.
Masjid paling dekat rumah, yang di Gg. Kopral.
Yang cuma 5 menit jalan kaki.
Biasanya, dulu, kalo tarawih, pasti ke Masjid Jl. Cipto.
Yang lebih besar. Lebih rame. Tapi lebih jauh.
15 menit jalan kaki.

Kapan ya, terakhir sholat disini.
Ga ingat.
Kayaknya dulu pernah sih disini.
Setelah marbot Masjid Jl. Cipto ganti sama sekelompok orang bersorban.
Tarawih yang tadinya 11 rakaat jadi 23 rakaat.
Trus agak beda aja sama yang dulu-dulu.
Sejak itu, kalo ga salah, udah jarang sholat disana.


Selalu suka tarawih di Siantar.
11 rakaat tapi sering ada ceramah-ceramah singkat diantara isya dan tarawih.
Sholatnya santai, ga buru-buru kayak dulu di Bogor waktu S1.
Bilal nya juga enak didengar.
Bacaannya lebih lengkap, dibanding di Bogor, ataupun di Jakarta.
Dari dulu selalu suka sama bilal tarawih.
Malah dulu semangat banget tarawih di Jl. Cipto kerna bilalnya.
Hahaha. Receh.


Semalam, topik ceramahnya tentang doa.
10 menit. Sederhana.
Bahwa doa ga selalu diijabah secara langsung, tapi bisa jadi dijawab melalui hal lain.
Bapaknya juga mengingatkan kalo berdoa yang positif-positif.
Walaupun benci sama orang, bukan berarti lantas mendoakan yang buruk-buruk untuk orang tersebut.
Termasuk dalam konteks lebih besar.
Suka sama suara lembut Bapak ustadz nya.
Suka juga sama topiknya.


Jadi keingat, beberapa malam lalu, Ibunya temen dengerin ceramah dari laptop sambil kerja di meja makan.
Ntah dari youtube atau dari mana, ku lagi bantuin masak di dapur.
Jadilah ikutan denger itu ceramah.
Ga yakin apa memang kebetulan topiknya begitu, atau memang kebetulan lagi dengerin ustadz yang memang ahli di topik ini.
Intinya dari sebagian ceramah yang terdengar, isinya membandingkan antara Islam dan Kristen.
Berat. Bahkan membahas mengenai 'Allah' dan 'Tuhan'.
Perbedaan konteksnya dalam Islam dan Kristen.
Dan, ntah ini subjektif pribadi atau gimana, sangat menekankan bahwa 'this one is right and that one is wrong'.
Dengan agak sedikit bersemangat.
Bahkan, menganjurkan pendengar untuk mencoba mengajak umat non-Muslim berdiskusi, termasuk mengenai topik tadi.
Beliau bilang agar saling memahami ajaran masing-masing.


Sebenarnya dari awal dengerin ceramahnya, udah ngerasa super gregetan.
Gregetan aja, sama tipe-tipe ceramah yang secara halus menebar kebencian model gini.
Ya buat apa sih ngebanding-bandingin.
Kenapa ga fokus di mengingatkan untuk berbuat kebaikan aja.
... and I'm fully aware that this is fully my own subjective.
Yah, mungkin memang beda audiens dan beda acara kali ya, jadi beda konteksnya.
Mbuh lah.

Paling kaget ketika dengar Bapaknya justru mengajurkan untuk mengajak diskusi.
'Wah, this is totally the opposite dari apa yang diajarkan guru agama dulu'
Dulu, guru agama, ataupun murobbiyah, menekankan banget untuk ga 'sok tau' soal agama,
terlebih ke penganut agama lain, kalo memang masih belum menguasai dengan benar.
Khawatir malah menyampaikan hal yang salah.
Hmm..
Yaudah, gitu aja.


Annyeong.

If Only

If only we can hear each other mind
Will it be better?
Or worse?


I'm tired of trying to say the things in my head
and trying to see what other people think about

I'm not sure if words are enough
Even sometimes they make things more confusing


If only we can hear each other mind
...and understand each other without saying much


But maybe I need to hear my mind
and understand what's really going on in my head

Magic Shop

Lyrics & Composer: Jungkook, Hiss noise, RM, Jordan “DJ Swivel” Young, Candace Nicole Sosa, ADORA, J-Hope, Suga




[English Translation]

[V] I know you’re hesitating
Because even if you tell the truth, it’ll come back as scars
[Jungkook] I won’t say clichéd things like “have strength”
I’ll just listen to you, listen

[RM] What did I tell you?
I told you you’d overcome
You didn’t believe (really)
Will we be able to overcome?
This miracle
Did we make it?
(No) I was always here
You came to me
I do believe your galaxy
I wanna hear your melody
The stars in your Milky Way
How will they appear in your sky?
At the end of my despair
I found you, don’t forget
You’re my last reason
Standing at the edge of a cliff
Live

[Jin] Days when you hate that you’re you
Days when you wanna disappear
Let’s make a door in your heart
[Jimin] If you open that door and go inside
This place will be waiting for you
It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you, this Magic Shop

[Jungkook] As you drink a cup of warm tea
As you look above to the Milky Way
[Jimin] You’ll be alright, oh this is a Magic Shop

So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
Show you show you

[J-Hope] Like a rose when blooming
Like a cherry blossom when scattering
Like a lily when withering
Like those beautiful moments
[Suga] I always wanna be the best
So I was always impatient and anxious
Comparing myself became a daily thing
My greed that used to be a weapon
Became a prison and noose
But looking back, to be honest
I don’t think I wanted to be the best
[J-Hope] I wanted to be someone’s comfort
I wanted to touch someone’s heart
I want to take away your sadness, your pain

[Jungkook] Days when you hate that you’re you
Days when you wanna disappear
Let’s make a door in your heart
[Jin] If you open that door and go inside
This place will be waiting for you
It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you, this Magic Shop

[V] As you drink a cup of warm tea
As you look above to the Milky Way
[Jin] You’ll be alright, oh this is a Magic Shop

So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
Show you show you

[V] If I told you I used to be scared of everything too
Will you believe me?
All of the truth, all of the remaining time
[Jimin] All of your answers are in this place that you found
In your Milky Way, in your heart

You gave me the best of me
So you’ll give you the best of you
You found me, you recognized me
You gave me the best of me
So you’ll give you the best of you
So I’ll find you, the galaxy that’s inside of you

So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
So show me
(I’ll show you)
Show you show you
