claim, being with ARMY feels like home
and brings them comfort to be able to
rely on the support and love of their
fans. Given the context of the lyrics in
a few other songs on different albums
which express their fear that one day
everyone will disappear it is especially
meaningful. Something commonly
shared by ARMY is how cared for and
cherished BTS makes them feel as well.
In Mikrokosmos , BTS uses the
common metaphor within the fandom
of referring to ARMY as stars making up
a galaxy. This reference started during
a concert where it was mentioned that
the crowd looked like a sea of stars. It
then grew into ARMY being BTS’ galaxy
and vise versa.
“You got me
I dream while looking at you
I got you
Inside those pitch black nights
The lights we saw in each other
Were saying the same thing”
The song proceeds to tell the
complex and unique relationship BTS
has with ARMY. What we have, is a
relationship where both artists and fans
support and learn from each other.
Even among the fans, a deep bond is
fostered through the instant connection
made by being ARMY with one another.
Ending the album is a party
anthem, Dionysus . Named after the
Greek God of wine, madness, and
theater, this song easily comes across
as a hymn to fun. In actuality it goes a
bit deeper. The term Dionysian refers
to the dangerous, unexpected, and
chaotic - much like the god it was
derived from. This definition is also
applied to music, which is the most
unstructured of the arts as it primarily
appeals to emotion not logic. The lyrics
essentially describe the band being
drunk off of their music and art.
Like the "Love Yourself Series" that
BTS released previously, many think
there will be multiple albums under
