Sometimes you might be in pain again

Sometimes you might get upset and shed tears 

What about it 

If you live like that, what about it

Namjoon's vocals in the ending part of trivia love where he asks "will you eventually leave me too?" are the sweetest sound that my ears have ever heard

Intro: Singularity

Intro: Singularity, like its name, introduces the theme of the 2018 album, Love Yourself: Tear which follows the album Love Yourself: Her.

Written by RM and Charlie J. Perry, performed by V, this song is in my eyes, the epitome of what RM can do with his words. Before I even begin, I would like to summarize what I have learned about his writing style through my intense study of his work. He is very careful with his words. Unlike other members of his group, which have very different (yet incredible) styles of writing, RM writes like his words are alive, like they can hold a hundred different meanings and can be dressed however the listener likes. It is like he does not even belong to this era, I swear you can ask anyone to read the lyrics he writes and they will not be able to link it to a man of this age. He is eloquent and educated in his thoughts. He references books, mythology and writes like he is more than one person.

Which brings me to my next point. RM wrote this song for V and in and out, this song is V’s. What do I mean by that? That is something I’ll highlight as I go through the lyrics. So, let’s start.

The title of the song is ‘Singularity’ which can mean ‘being one or alone’. There is a mathematical interpretation as well which simply identifies it as a point where a function ceases to exist or takes an undefined value.

(Please note: I’ll make references to V’s solo song released before this which was Stigma. I’ll soon write its interpretation as well but for the sake of referencing I’ll mention that V talks about being punished for something recurrently in it.)

This song in essence introduces two sides of a person. One is hidden, as if behind glass or a mask, and another is the one that everyone sees. These two sides are described here as two different humans. One is what V knows and what we see of him. Another is hidden and even V forgets his existence. I believe that the hidden V is whom we heard Stigma from; dark, scared and regretful. I’ll refer to him as Taehyung for the sake of differentiation (please remember to separate that art from the artist; these are just two characters used to describe the idea that the song presents).

무언가 깨지는 소리 A sound of something breaking

난 문득 잠에서 깨 I suddenly wake up from sleep

낯설음 가득한 소리 A sound full of unfamiliarity

귀를 막아보지만 I cover my ears

잠에 들지 못해 but I can’t fall asleep

V feels like this is not his first life or his complete self. Like dreams or memories, he hears ‘something breaking’ which worries him because he does not relate it to anything. This gives the idea of him forgetting the existence of Taehyung. 

목이 자꾸 아파와 My throat gets sorer

감싸보려 하지만 I try to wrap it

나에겐 목소리가 없어 but I don’t have a voice

오늘도 그 소리를 들어 I hear that sound today, yet again

His throat hurts and his voice is gone like when you have been screaming a lot or stressing your voice. But he does not remember doing it. However, someone else is screaming and he hears it, not recognizing it.

또 울리고 있어 그 소리가 It’s ringing again, that sound

이 얼어붙은 호수에 또 금이 가 A crack on this frozen lake, yet again

그 호수에 내가 날 버렸잖아 You know I threw myself in that lake

내 목소릴 널 위해 묻었잖아 You know I buried my voice for you

I consider this as what he heard the voice say, as aforementioned. The voice, which belongs to Taehyung, talks about falling into a frozen lake and hiding because of ‘you’. As V is the one who is hearing this voice, I consider ‘you’ to be referring to him. For the sake of a public persona or a persona he wants to represent, Taehyung has tried to kill himself - the killing part comes from being in a frozen lake. As frozen is supposed to signify being paused or cold or even alone.

날 버린 겨울 호수 위로 On the winter lake I threw myself in

두꺼운 얼음이 얼었네 a thick ice has formed

잠시 들어간 꿈 속에도 Even in the dream I briefly went into

나를 괴롭히는 환상통은 여전해 the phantom pain that tortures me remains still

Back to V, he repeats what he just heard like we do normally when realizing something or while interpreting something until it has meaning. He would want to consider the conversation he had as just a dream but now he can feel the pain of being in the frozen lake because even though he tried to forget Taehyung, they are still the same person.

나는 날 잃은 걸까 Have I lost myself

아니 널 얻은 걸까 or have I gained you

나 문득 호수로 달려가 I suddenly run to the lake

오 그 속에 내 얼굴 있어 Oh, in the lake there is my face

He wonders what it all even means and whether this realization is even worth something. To check if whatever he feels is real, he goes to the lake that Taehyung mentioned and sees himself in it. This, in true RM fashion, references Narcissus, a Greek mythology character that falls in love with his own reflection in the water and dies of thirst rather than drinking the water because he was afraid that touching it would make his newfound lover disappear. Narcissus is often seen as a character that was vain and self absorbed. But here I consider it as someone who admires the mask he is wearing. V likes who he is as V (also symbolized using the ‘LOVED’ earring he is seen wearing in the video), not Taehyung or he thinks Taehyung is not someone that should be seen in his authenticity.

부탁해 아무 말도 하지마 I beg you, please, don’t say any word

입을 막으려 손을 뻗어보지만 I reach my hand to cover the mouth,

결국엔 언젠가 봄이 와 but, eventually, someday, spring will come,

얼음들은 녹아내려 흘러 가 and the ice will melt and flow away

The first line is said by V and the rest are from Taehyung’s perspective. V knows Taehyung, remembers him but also knows why he was hidden in the first place. The Taehyung of Stigma who wanted to reveal whatever he had done and wanted to be punished for it should stay quiet or else V’s cover will be blown which he is scared of. But Taehyung knows that this won’t last long. How long can he be hidden? Circumstances will reveal him and his truth in due time and that will be spring for him; a day of freedom.

Tell me 내 목소리가 가짜라면 Tell me, if my voice is fake,

날 버리지 말았어야 했는지 should I have not thrown myself away

Tell me 고통조차 가짜라면 Tell me, if even the pain is fake,

그 때 내가 무얼 해야 했는지 what should I have done then

V knows now and wonders if he can fool himself now or even fool others now that he knows what is hidden about him. But he remembers the reasons which made him hide and they are as real as ever. He still does not think that Taehyung is lovable or even acceptable to people.

To summarize, I would not say that this is about BTS themselves. They have shared multiple times that their personas that we see are who they are in reality but of course there are narratives that are not public and thoughts that are too dark to be shared as idols or celebrities. So taking a more general approach to understand the concept of this song, which also relates to BTS and to everyone of us in one way or another, is how we hide ourselves. Whether it be to please a lover or to fit in somewhere, we tend to hide certain parts of ourselves but when we are alone, we cannot help but acknowledge who we really are and that thought and idea haunts us.

Now, remember how V has at different times used Singularity to describe himself? How I mentioned that it is his song through and through? I have a theory and it goes something like this: we all know that Stigma has a meaning that has not been revealed. RM in his live said that it is V’s story and he will share it if he wants. Now, I really believe that V struggles with that - that he is torn about his past. That there are thoughts that he has that he has only kept to himself and does not want to bring forth. He considers himself as alone in that regard but mostly he considers himself ‘undefined’, someone he does not even know himself, yet.

Please remember, these are just my thoughts and my interpretation. I can be way off the mark. So, kindly, treat it as such. And keep showing love to the masterpiece that Intro: Singularity is.
