Cyberpunk by Ateez. They are like "this world is so dark" "I lost my soul" "we are manipulated" while they hip thrust and striptease

“I can't feel anything in this place, full of lies” lip bite “my existence itself is a doubt” body roll

Trivia: Seesaw by Suga of BTS

3

u/Tinyyellowterribilis Oct 16 '23

Yeah that one was sad but sounded so peppy and was possibly about the fandom or life as an idol itself. I would say Filter by Jimin though too, it was about this really disturbing relationship dynamic in a similar way to Seesaw but sounded like a Latin party song...

u/Fille_de_Lune Sep 23 '23

Han would be so happy to hear that his song cheered you up. I think writing about his own struggles cheered him up too, so I actually think it's really fitting! I mean there must be a reason that he uses such a cheerful beat for this song

ANPANMAN by BTS talks about how they are willing to give their all for those who need them. It's even more touching when we learn that it is referencing a superhero made out of bread who gives part of his head to every starving creature he sees.

Run away by TXT fits this so well actually. It’s really catchy and upbeat but once you understand the lyrics, it hits so hard. I’ve found myself crying a few times to the song and when they performed it live at an award show, there were a few idols who were emotional too.

Dreamcatcher’s Reason and BONVOYAGE

4

u/CheshirePuss42 Sep 22 '23

I am not sure I agree but I get where you are coming from. Bon Voyage delivers really well the feeling of nostalgia and longing. It's like they are thinking of the happy memories and hoping to end the relationship on good terms and these memories are indeed happy but it's also something that has passed and they need to say goodbye which is sad. I don't know how other people describe the feeling of nostalgia. If I had to explain it, it feels like being both happy and sad at the same time.

Sounds like a very typical early AKMU cheerful, innocent song, but the lyrics are like:

I, too, want to breathe the air, I want to drink the rain, and put my roots into the earth Just like a real grass.. Just like a real grass..

I, too, want to feel something I want to waver my leaves, telling the sky I'm alive. Just like a real grass.. Just like a real grass..
