Epiphany Lyrics

[방탄소년단의 Epiphany 가사]

[Verse 1]
참 이상해 분명 난 너를 너무 사랑했는데 (사랑했는데)
모두 너에게 맞추고 널 위해 살고 싶었는데
그럴수록 내 맘속의 폭풍을 감당할 수 없게 돼
웃고 있는 가면속의 진짜 내 모습을 다 드러내


[Chorus]
I'm the one I should love in this world
빛나는 나를, 소중한 내 영혼을
이제야 깨달아, so I love me
좀 부족해도 너무 아름다운 걸
I'm the one I should love

[Verse 2]
흔들리고 두려워도 앞으로 걸어가
폭풍 속에 숨겨뒀던 진짜 너와 만나
왜 난 이렇게 소중한 날 숨겨두고 싶었는지
뭐가 그리 두려워 내 진짜 모습을 숨겼는지


[Chorus]
I'm the one I should love in this world
빛나는 나를, 소중한 내 영혼을
이제야 깨달아, so I love me
좀 부족해도 너무 아름다운 걸
I'm the one I should love
[Bridge]
조금은 뭉툭하고 부족할지 몰라
수줍은 광채 따윈 안 보일지 몰라
하지만 이대로의 내가 곧 나인 걸
지금껏 살아온 내 팔과, 다리, 심장, 영혼을

[Chorus]
사랑하고 싶어 in this world
빛나는 나를, 소중한 내 영혼을
이제야 깨달아, so I love me
좀 부족해도 너무 아름다운 걸
I'm the one I should love

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm the one I should love
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh
I'm the one I should love
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Epiphany” is the first track off of BTS’s Love Yourself 結 ‘Answer’, and was released two weeks prior to the rest of the album. The track has a pop-rock melody and features sentimental vocals sung by BTS member Jin.

An epiphany is defined as a “moment of sudden or powerful realization”. The title is significant as it represents the defining, formative theme of the album- and the entirety of the Love Yourself series. Jin’s epiphany is that he is capable of unconditional self-love, a conclusion each album in the series has powerfully, slowly built up to.

The music video depicts Jin alone and brooding. However, small details, like the shift from monochrome into color, represent an underlying sense of hope. Although wholeheartedly loving yourself can be lonely and difficult, such a feat is not impossible. It’s one of the greatest progressions a person can undertake.

What did BTS say about "Epiphany"?
Genius Answer

In a livestream by RM, he said:

This is a great song. “Epiphany”. This is the only song I wasn’t involved in.

Jin is interested in composing. He worked hard to make a melody for this song. Jin fixed his melody a few days before we finalized this song, but our producer worked with a composer and came up with a new melody. So, it was changed. I’m curious about Jin’s original melody.

When I first heard it [the final track] I texted Jin like, “This song is amazing!”. I liked it so much. This track is special […] because it’s the only song that talks about “結”, “the conclusion”. There are two songs about “起”, “beginning”, two about “承”, “development”, and two describe “轉”, “turn”, in this album. Jin is the only one who talks about “結”, “conclusion”. There’s only one observer of us in the BTS universe since “화양연화 (The Most Beautiful Moment In Life)”. It is Jin. In that regard, this song is also in the same vein.

The lyrics are so beautiful. “I’m the one I should love in this world, "빛나는 나를 소중한 내 영혼을” (“Shining me, precious soul of mine”). When I hear this song, I become emotional. It sounds like the truth. “좀 부족해도 너무 아름다운 걸” (“Not so perfect but so beautiful”). “하지만 이대로의 내가 곧 나인 걸” (“But this is me”).

It’s hard to admit that. When we look into a mirror, or when we do what we want to do – whether it’s studying at school or following a dream – we sometimes feel inferior to others, or we [think we] lack something. We turn a blind eye to ourselves. But, this is me. […] I’m talking to you. It’s me. I don’t want to deny myself. I need to admit to myself. The lyrics of “Epiphany” tell us to do so.

This type of song sounds perfect. When we make a title track, a lot of people work together. This person writes one part, that one writes the chorus part. This can be a way of making unique and interesting songs. If one person is in charge of songwriting and lyrics, it has a special power. It’s very powerful. I think Jin understood this song well. He was challenged to compose a song and write lyrics.

From this album, Love Yourself 結 ‘Answer’, this is the only and precious song for the “conclusion” part. Jin is the only one who can do this. [It’s] track that earns applause at the concert. It’s “Epiphany”.
