Lyrics

Get back, get get back
Get back, get get back
그럴 수만 있다면 물어보고 싶었어
그때 왜 그랬는지 왜 날 내쫓았는지
어떤 이름도 없이 여전히 널 맴도네
작별이 무색해 그 변함없는 색채

나에겐 이름이 없구나
나도 너의 별이었는데
넌 빛이라서 좋겠다
난 그런 널 받을 뿐인데
무너진 왕성에
남은 명이 뭔 의미가 있어
죽을 때까지 받겠지 니 무더운 시선
아직 난 널 돌고 변한 건 없지만
사랑에 이름이 없다면
모든 게 변한 거야
넌 정말로 Eris를 찾아낸 걸까
말해 내가 저 달보다 못한 게 뭐야
Us는 you의 복수형일 뿐
어쩌면 거기 처음부터 난 없었던 거야
언젠가 너도 이 말을 이해하겠지
나의 계절은 언제나 너였어
내 차가운 심장은 영하 248도
니가 날 지운 그 날 멈췄어 damn

난 맴돌고만 있어
(난 널 놓쳤어 난 널 잃었어)
난 헛돌고만 있어
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

한때는 태양의 세계에 속했던
(노랜 멈췄어 노랜 멎었어)
별의 심장엔 텁텁한 안개층뿐
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

어제와는 그리 다를 건 없네 ay
똑같은 일상 속에 딱 너만 없네 ay
분명 어제까지는 함께였는데 ay
무서울 정도로 똑같은 하루 속엔 딱 너만 없네
솔직히 말해 니가 없던 일년쯤
덤덤했지 흔히 말하는 미련도
없던 지난 날 이젠 깜빡
니 향기 따윈 기억도 안나 잠깐
근데 어디선가 맡아봤던 향순데 ay
기억이 어렴풋이 피어날 즘에 ay
저기 저기 고개를 돌려보니
환하게 웃으며 다가오는 니 옆엔 그
(안녕?) 안녕
어떻게 지내? 나는 뭐 잘 지내
왠지 터질듯한 내 심장과는 달리
이 순간 온도는 영하 248

난 맴돌고만 있어
(난 널 놓쳤어 난 널 잃었어)
난 헛돌고만 있어
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

한때는 태양의 세계에 속했던
(노랜 멈췄어 노랜 멎었어)
별의 심장엔 텁텁한 안개층뿐
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

난 맴돌고만 있어
(안개 너머의 여전히 미소 띤 널 지켜보지
의미도, 너도, 다 없는 불규칙 내 궤도의 현실)
난 헛돌고만 있어
(너에겐 기억하기 힘든 숫자와 어둠의 pluto
그래도 계속 난 너의 주위를 맴돌겠지 damn)

난 맴돌고만 있어
(난 널 놓쳤어 난 널 잃었어)
난 헛돌고만 있어
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

한때는 태양의 세계에 속했던
(노랜 멈췄어 노랜 멎었어)
별의 심장엔 텁텁한 안개층뿐
(넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어)

Full Lyrics

Among the expansive sea of BTS’s musical masterpieces, the song ‘134340’ stands as an enigmatic yet profoundly emotional journey. Wrapped in metaphoric stardust, the lyrics resonate with the tale of Pluto’s demotion from planet status—an imagery laden narrative where each verse holds a galaxy of interpretations.

Diving deeper than the surface, ‘134340’ explores the intricate emotions of feeling abandoned, the cold reality of being forgotten, and the existential quest for purpose after rejection. With the piercing lyrics and haunting melodies, BTS invites us into a universe where music transcends planetary boundaries and touches the human soul.

An Astronomical Heartbreak: The Story Behind 134340

The title ‘134340’ refers to the asteroid number assigned to Pluto when it was reclassified and no longer considered a planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006. Through this celestial metaphor, BTS crafts an intricate parallel between the astronomical event and the emotional toll of becoming insignificant to someone who once held you dear.

As the song progresses, listeners are taken on an emotional odyssey where the forsaken ‘planet’ laments over its loss of identity and purpose. It’s an expository tale of how one critical decision—much like Pluto’s demotion—can lead to a spiraling sense of worthlessness and obscurity.

Spin Into the Cosmic Chorus – The Melancholy Melody

The haunting refrain ‘난 맴돌고만 있어’ which translates to ‘I’m just circling around’ encapsulates the central theme of the song. Musically, the chorus with its sharp, repetitive beats and swirling synths, imitates the motion of orbiting, paralleling the lyrics’ figurative perpetuality of lingering emotions.

In this vortex of sound, BTS not only captures the essence of emotional stasis but also the rhythmic nature of cosmic activity—unchanged, cyclical, and eternal.

Decoding the Hidden Meanings: Love’s Microcosm in ‘134340’

Beyond its astronomical reference, ‘134340’ delves into the complexities of human relationships. The song’s lyrics cleverly use cosmic terminology to explore themes of rejection, the quest for identity, and the cold aftermath of being forgotten.

The chorus’s poignant lament echoes the universal fear of being left behind, conveying a duality—both the insignificance of one in an infinite universe and the gaping void left by a lost connection.

The Temperature of a Heart in Stasis: ‘영하 248도’

‘영하 248도’ which means ‘minus 248 degrees’ is a stark reference to Pluto’s surface temperature—a chilling reminder of the emotional void felt when love turns cold. In a blend of science and sentiment, the lyric poetically conveys the frigid isolation of having one’s existence erased from another’s world.

This line, delivered with emotional precision, starkly contrasts with the human warmth yearned for after separation—a temperature so cold it metaphorically stops the heart, halting time and progression.

Echoes of Loss and Time: The Most Memorable Lines

Among the song’s arresting lyrics, ‘넌 날 지웠어 넌 날 잊었어’, meaning ‘You erased me, you forgot me’, resonates powerfully with the notion of absence and irrelevance. The repetition of these phrases enhances their haunting quality, emphasizing the feeling of erasure reminiscent of Pluto’s plight.

Contrasted with the imagery of a ‘밝은 니 옆’ or ‘brightly smiling’ presence, the song captures the bittersweet realization that life goes on for those who leave us behind. It’s a reminder of the continual motion of the cosmos and life, irrespective of individual losses.
