People Pt.2 (사람 Pt.2) (feat. IU)

Agust D, also known as Suga of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, delves into the transient nature of love and life in his song 'People Pt.2 (사람 Pt.2) (feat. IU)'. The lyrics explore the concept of love as a fleeting series of emotions, questioning the conditions that come with loving something or someone. Agust D reflects on the idea that love, often perceived as eternal, is as fragile as a sandcastle, easily eroded by even the gentlest waves. This metaphor suggests that love and relationships are delicate and can be destroyed by the smallest of challenges.

The song also touches on the theme of loss and the fear that accompanies it. Agust D ponders why loss is saddening and concludes that it's the fear of loss that truly brings sorrow. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation, acknowledging that love and people come and go, and that this impermanence is a natural part of life. The artist expresses a feeling of being a 'game loser' in a game without winners or losers, highlighting the futility of trying to hold onto something that is inherently ephemeral.

In the final verses, Agust D suggests that altruism might be inherently selfish, as doing something for someone else can also be a way to satisfy one's own desires. He questions whether letting go of greed could lead to happiness, or if it would leave one with an unfulfilled half-illusion. The song concludes with a message of comfort, assuring that it's okay to cry and that one is already worthy of love. The lyrics resonate with the struggle between resistance and submission in life, framing it as a battle with loneliness rather than external forces.
