TBCBlack Swan Lyrics & Translations
“Black Swan” continues the theme of exploring one’s ego from BTS’ previous album, Map of the Soul: Persona, inspired by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s theories of human psychology. The Korea Times’s press release described the song as “a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself,” in which “BTS dives deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden.” In an interview with Zach Sang, the band described the song as “very personal” in which they wanted to talk about their shadows. In the trap ballet, BTS use introspective lyrics to confess the fear of losing passion for music. “Black Swan” details the relationship artists have with their craft, comparing the harrowing feeling of loss of love for the craft to death, with lyrics such as “If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death.” Source: BTS Wiki Do your thang, do your thang with me nowDo your thang, do your thang with me now
What’s my thang? What’s my thang? Tell me now
Tell me now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ayy 심장이 뛰지 않는대
더는 음악을 들을 때 tryna pull up
시간이 멈춘 듯해
Oh, that would be my first death I’ve been always afraid of
이게 나를 더 못 울린다면
내 가슴을 더 떨리게 못 한다면
어쩜 이렇게 한 번 죽겠지 아마
But what if that moment’s right now, right now?
귓가엔 느린 심장 소리만 bump, bump, bump
벗어날래도 그 입속으로 jump, jump, jump
어떤 노래도 와닿지 못해 소리 없는 소릴 질러
모든 빛이 침묵하는 바다 yeah, yeah, yeah
길 잃은 내 발목을 또 잡아 yeah, yeah, yeah
어떤 소리도 들리지 않아 yeah, yeah, yeah
Killin’ me now, killin’ me now, do you hear me? Yeah
홀린 듯 천천히 가라앉아 nah, nah, nah
몸부림쳐봐도 사방이 바닥 nah, nah
모든 순간들이 영원이 돼 yeah, yeah, yeah
Film it now, film it now, do you hear me? Yeah
Do your thang, do your thang with me now
Do your thang, do your thang with me now
What’s my thang? What’s my thang? Tell me now
Tell me now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Deeper, yeah, I think I’m goin’ deeper
자꾸 초점을 잃어 이젠 놓아줘 싫어
차라리 내 발로 갈게 내가 뛰어들어갈게
가장 깊은 곳에서 나는 날 봤어
천천히 난 눈을 떠 여긴 나의 작업실 내 스튜디오
거센 파도 깜깜하게 나를 스쳐도
절대 끌려가지 않을 거야 다시 또
Inside, I saw myself, myself
귓가엔 빠른 심장 소리만 bump, bump, bump
두 눈을 뜨고 나의 숲으로 jump, jump, jump
그 무엇도 날 삼킬 수 없어 힘껏 나는 소리 질러
모든 빛이 침묵하는 바다 yeah, yeah, yeah
길 잃은 내 발목을 또 잡아 yeah, yeah, yeah
어떤 소리도 들리지 않아 yeah, yeah, yeah
Killin’ me now, killin’ me now, do you hear me? Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ayy My heart doesn’t beat anymore
When I hear the music
Tryna pull up
It’s like time has stopped
Oh that would be my first death
I been always afraid of If this doesn’t resonate with me anymore
Doesn’t send my heart quivering anymore
This is how I’d die for the first time, probably
But what if that moment’s
right now
Right now Just the sound of my sluggish heart in my ears
bump bump bump
Even if I try to get rid of it, it sounds in my mouth
jump jump jump
There’s not a song that gets me anymore
I scream out silent cries An ocean with every light fallen into silence
yeah yeah yeah
Once again, I hold my ankles that have lost their way
yeah yeah yeah
There’s not a single sound that I hear
yeah yeah yeah
Killin’ me now
Killin’ me now
Do you hear me yeah Slowly going under as though in a trance
nah nah nah
Even if I struggle, the ground is all around me nah nah
Every moment becomes an eternity
yeah yeah yeah
Film it now
Film it now
Do you hear me yeah Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
What’s my thang
What’s my thang tell me now
Tell me now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah Deeper
Yeah I think I’m goin’ deeper
I keep losing focus
Let me go now, I don’t want to
I’d rather go there on my own feet
I will run and go in
In the deepest place
I saw myself
Slowly, I open my eyes
This is where I work, my studio
Even if these violent waves
Pass me by with darkness
I’ll never be dragged away, never again
Inside
I saw myself myself Just the sound of my racing heart in my ears
bump bump bump
I open my eyes, to my forest I
jump jump jump
There’s nothing that can swallow me up
I shout out with all my might An ocean with every light fallen into silence
yeah yeah yeah
Once again, I hold my ankles that have lost their way
yeah yeah yeah
There’s not a single sound that I hear
yeah yeah yeah
Killin’ me now
Killin’ me now
Do you hear me yeah Slowly going under as though in a trance
nah nah nah
Even if I struggle, the ground is all around me nah nah
Every moment becomes an eternity
yeah yeah yeah
Film it now
Film it now
Do you hear me yeah Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
Do your thang
Do your thang with me now
