[방탄소년단의 "REFLECTION" 가사]
[Verse 1]
I know
Every life's a movie
We got different stars and stories
We got different nights and mornings
Our scenarios ain't just boring
나는 이 영화가 너무 재밌어
매일매일 잘 찍고 싶어
난 날 쓰다듬어주고 싶어
날 쓰다듬어주고 싶어
근데 말야 가끔 나는
내가 너무너무 미워
사실 꽤나 자주 나는
내가 너무 미워
내가 너무 미울 때 난 뚝섬에 와
그냥 서 있어 익숙한 어둠과
웃고 있는 사람들과
나를 웃게 하는 beer
슬며시 다가와서
나의 손을 잡는 fear
괜찮아 다 둘셋이니까
나도 친구가 있음 좋잖아
[Verse 2]
세상은 절망의 또 다른 이름
나의 키는 지구의 또 다른 지름
나는 나의 모든 기쁨이자 시름
매일 반복돼 날 향한 좋고 싫음
저기 한강을 보는 친구야
우리 옷깃을 스치면 인연이 될까
아니 우리 전생에 스쳤을지 몰라
어쩜 수없이 부딪혔을지도 몰라
어둠 속에서 사람들은
낮보다 행복해 보이네
다들 자기가 있을 곳을 아는데
나만 하릴없이 걷네
그래도 여기 섞여있는 게 더 편해
밤을 삼킨 뚝섬은 나에게
전혀 다른 세상을 건네
나는 자유롭고 싶다
자유에게서 자유롭고 싶다
지금은 행복한데 불행하니까
나는 나를 보네
뚝섬에서
[Outro]
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself
I wish I could love myself

… The last one I fought for (so it can be put in the album) was ‘Reflection’ — there’s an original version, a whole different song. He (Pdogg) didn’t like it, it just didn’t fit the Wings concept, so I’ll release it (the original one) myself someday. – Rap Monster during Teen Vogue’s interview
In an Vlive by RM, one of the members of BTS, he said:
It’s original title was “In Ttukseom” (T/N: A place overlooking Han River). For this song, I completed the draft first. Before the song “Reflection”, as candidates of the title “Reflection”, there were two songs I made. But, the first one I mad...
During the Wings Concert Tour in 2017, Brazilian fans created their own fan chant for the song (an unusual occurrence as most fan chants are provided by the artists company). The highlight of the chant was shouting, “we love you” after each repetition of “I wish I could love myself.” Touched by the...
