Lyrics

Ayy

I got a good time
Yeah, time to get mine
헤맸어, 미로
Hennessy and night
“I never stop, I never stop”
다시 repeat
“I never stop, fuck all your opps”
Finally free

Ah, yeah, ah, yeah
끝에 멈춰 선 나
Not yet, not yet
돌아보지 않아
Now yeah, now yeah
날아가 butterfly
Finally free

Look at me now
더 이상 아파도 숨지 않아
미치지 않기 위해 미치려는 것
지나간 나를 위해 손을 들어
Now set me free

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free

(Enemy) I got feel low
(But I’m in) still 난 미로
(Get to be) but I got no time to break soul, just let me flow
(Enemy) hey fool, just get out of my way
(Better be) shut up, fuck off, I’m on my way

Ah, yeah, ah, yeah
시작된 나의 prime time
Forget, forget
기꺼이 올라타
Now yeah, now yeah
날아가 butterfly
Finally free

Look at me now
날 비웃어도 멈추지 않아
미치지 않기 위해 미치려는 것
지나간 날을 위해 손을 들어
Now set me free

(Set me free, set me free) set me free
(Set me free) set me free
(Set me free, set me free) set me free
(Won’t you set me free?) Set me free (yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh) free
Set me free
(Won’t you set me free?)
Set me free

(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
(Set me free)
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
(Set me free)
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
(Set me free)
(Oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh, oh, oh)
Set me free

In the corridors of music where self-revelation meets artistry, BTS’s Jimin delivers a powerful solo cry for autonomy in his piercing new track ‘Set Me Free Pt.2.’ This isn’t just a song; it is a narrative frozen in a melody, a diary entry sprawled across a rhythmic beat. Jimin’s lyrics echo a journey of struggle and emancipation, tethering to the soulful vibe that k-pop aficionados have cherished, embellished, and pondered upon.

To dissect the layers of ‘Set Me Free Pt.2,’ we must dive into the heart of the music, where the bassline beats like a pulse and the lyrics cut as deep as arteries. Here’s a track that operates on multiple levels, a phoenix-like anthem that rises from the personal ashes of Jimin’s metaphorical labyrinth to universal heights. In this exploration, we unwrap the complexity, peel back the sonorous veneer, and decode the intimate messages woven into the very fabric of this haunting melody.

A Labyrinth of Self-Discovery: Jimin’s Personal Maze

When Jimin ruminates about being ensnared in a maze (‘헤맸어, 미로’), he isn’t just drawing a picture of confusion; he’s sculpting his internal struggle with fame’s double-edged sword. As a superstar, the corridors of recognition are narrow and dizzying, wire-tapped with expectations. This track isn’t shy to touch upon the intoxication of a ‘Hennessy and night,’ possible metaphors for his coping mechanisms amidst this journey of self-realization.

Jimin’s declaration of ‘Finally free’ is the echoed sentiment of breaking free from the psychological chaos, the narrative that holds one down. This could be interpreted as a pivotal moment of self-liberation from the pressures of his meteoric rise and the expectations it carries, a breakaway not just from an external audience but from the infernal jury within.

The Struggle Against Oppressors: Breaking Free from Negativity

The fierce lines ‘I never stop, fuck all your opps’ slice through the track with a rawness that’s both surprising and enlightening. Here Jimin positions himself against faceless foes, the ‘opps’ which could symbolize critics, stifling societal norms, or even personal demons. He voices a narrative of persistence in the face of antagonism, wrapping his defiance in layers of melodic determination.

It’s a call to arms, a fervent reminder that beneath the artifice, there’s a tenacious human spirit unwavering against the onslaught of negativity. ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’ becomes the anthem of every listener seeking to claim their narrative, to stand tall against the tides that seek to erode their resolve.

The Butterfly Effect: A Symbol of Transformation in Jimin’s Lyrics

Jimin’s lyrical brilliance shines through in the recurring imagery of the butterfly (‘날아가 butterfly’). More than just a creature taking flight, it represents metamorphosis, the evolution of his being from a state of entrapment to one of the exquisite freedom. ‘Look at me now,’ he pleads, a petition for the world to recognize the transformation he has undergone, an evolution not just physical but of the soul as well.

This isn’t a transition that comes lightly; the butterfly motif encapsulates the beauty and the brutality of growth. The cocoon stage, as suggested by the lyrics, involves a deep internal struggle, possible pain, and the cleansing of what once was. It’s a profound rebirth, enacted through musical notes and vocal crescendos.

Embracing Madness to Stay Sane: The Paradox in Jimin’s Words

‘미치지 않기 위해 미치려는 것,’ Jimin poignantly observes the paradox of sanity within madness. The idea of embracing mania as a refuge from the overwhelming pressures of reality strikes a chord with a generation that often flirts with the fine line between passion and insanity.

It’s a line as memorable as it is haunting, confronting the listener with the uncomfortable truth that sometimes we must lose ourselves to find the essence of who we truly are. In the act of letting go, in the chaos of the breakdown, Jimin finds his liberation, echoed in the refrain ‘Now set me free.’

An Immersive Chorus: The Battles Cry of Jimin’s Liberation

As the song crescendos into the chant-like chorus, the repetition of ‘Set me free’ becomes a declaration, a mantra repeated with the fervency of someone on the verge of emancipation. It is not just a wish; it’s a command, a shout into the void where Jimin’s voice becomes the sound of shackles breaking.

Here, the melding of English and Korean, the interchange of ‘set me free’ with the upbeat ‘Oh-eh-oh’ phrases, creates a globally resonant call. It’s a hook designed to linger long after the song ends, a haunting echo that continues to ripple through the mind, insisting on the possibility and the certainty of release.
