Interlude: Shadow

BTS BTS

Interlude: Shadow

I wanna be a rap star
I wanna be the top
I wanna be a rockstar
I want it all mine
I wanna be rich
I wanna be the king
I wanna go win
I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star
I wanna be the top
I wanna be a rockstar
I want it all mine
I wanna be rich
I wanna be the king
I wanna be me
I wanna a big thing
Oh boy, let me see, I got a big dream, yeah

Woo I was excited every day, how far will I go
Running without a break, before I knew it, I came this far
Yeah, hmm, the shadow under my feet
When I look down, it gets bigger
No matter how much I try to run away, my shadow follows me, proportional to that light
My shadow
I'm scared, being high is scary for me
No one told me, how lonely it is here
My leap could turn into a fall
Now I understand, sometimes running away is the right path (pause)
People, well, they say, the light inside is brilliant
But my shadow ends up just swallowing me, becoming a monster
Up above, up above, just up above
As I go, it gets dizzy here
I don't want to go up above anymore
(Praying for safety)

Flying high as I want
The shadow under the shining light grows bigger
Please, don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm scared
Facing the lowest point of me
Ironically, this is the sky
Please, don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm afraid
Don't let me shine

Smile, why hesitate
Was this what you wanted?
Why cry, what are you afraid of
Was this what you desired?
The life you wished for, the life you wanted
The life you chose, achieved without regrets
And there, you have big house, big cars, big rings
You got everything you wanted
But what's the problem, enjoy it
Or let go, don't you like it?
Then run or stop, instead of whining to do just one thing
Didn't I tell you? (Yeah, yeah)
You really didn't know? (Oh no)
I'll take only what you have, whatever it is
Sometimes your rest turns into a fall
Now do you understand
That every time your best is your best

Flying high as I want
The shadow under the shining light grows bigger
Please, don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm scared
Facing the lowest point of me
Ironically, this is the sky
Please, don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm afraid
Don't let me shine

I wanna be a rap star
I wanna be the top
I wanna be a rockstar
I want it all mine
I wanna be rich
I wanna be the king
I wanna go win
I wanna be

I wanna be a rap star
I wanna be the top
I wanna be a rockstar
I want it all mine
I wanna be rich
I wanna be the king
I wanna be me
I wanna be

Yes, I am you and you are me, do you understand now
Yes, you are me and I am you, now you know
We are one body, sometimes we'll clash
You can never separate me, do you understand
Yeah, yeah, you can't wake up, you and me
Yeah, admitting it might be more comfortable
Yeah, success or failure, wherever it is
Yeah, you can't escape, I'm you
I am you and you are me, do you understand now
You are me and I am you, now you know
We are one body and we'll clash
We are you and we are me, do you understand
