BTS (방탄소년단) – Euphoria LyricsBTS (방탄소년단) – Euphoria Lyrics (Romanized)BTS (방탄소년단) – Euphoria Lyrics (English Translation)
[Verse 1: Jung Kook]
너는 내 삶에 다시 뜬 햇빛
어린 시절 내 꿈들의 재림
모르겠어 이 감정이 뭔지
혹시 여기도 꿈속인 건지
꿈은 사막의 푸른 신기루
내 안 깊은 곳의 a priori
숨이 막힐 듯이 행복해져
주변이 점점 더 투명해져
[Pre-Chorus: Jung Kook]
저기 멀리서 바다가 들려
꿈을 건너서 수풀 너머로
선명해지는 그 곳으로 가
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
[Chorus: Jung Kook]
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

I hear the ocean from far away
Across the dream, past the woods
I’m following this clarity

BTS “Euphoria” Meaning

“Euphoria” refers to an artificial sense of happiness, where emotions are excessively heightened, often to mask deeper issues. This is known as “euphoric disorder” in psychology, where joy or satisfaction is felt in abnormal conditions, like progressive paralysis or epilepsy. The song’s lyrics suggest this false happiness, using imagery like a “mirage” and suffocating feelings before happiness, indicating that it’s a mental construct rather than true joy.

In the music video, Jungkook’s character repeatedly maintains balance, whether under the bridge or on the beach, symbolizing his struggle to keep control in the utopia created by “Euphoria.” This theme is mirrored by Jimin, who also maintains balance while running and riding a bike.

The music video and lyrics emphasize the importance of moving forward, not staying trapped in the false happiness of a dream. The act of holding hands, as shown in the video, represents this connection and the desire to move beyond the “dream” into a clearer reality.

The song ends with the call to “Take my hands now,” suggesting that moving forward together is the way to break free from false happiness. This echoes the concept of “Wonder,” where doubts arise, prompting the need for answers and progress.

Ultimately, the song may be seen as a metaphor for breaking free from the idol-fan relationship and the limitations it imposes, with “Euphoria” symbolizing the awareness of these constraints and the desire to transcend them.

Achievements

“Euphoria” was considered a definitive evidence of BTS’s Jungkook massive popularity, having surpassed over 500 million streams on Spotify as of 2023.

Moreover, in the United States, ‘Euphoria’ became the first Korean male idol solo song to sell over 500,000 units and received platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for surpassing one million sales in April.
