Underrated BTS songs that you might have missed
As often said by the BTS ARMY - “ This is BTS ’ world and we are just living in it .” This 7 seven-member K-pop group has smashed all possible records and is creating new ones every day . They are no longer just a Korean boy band , but rather the biggest musical act in the world . With their first ( of many , we hope ) Grammy nomination for their breakout hit DYNAMITE , it is worth revisiting their discography to find some musical gems that remain underrated despite their fame , musical and lyrical ingenuity .
SEA - hidden track from Love yourself : Her
A song that talks about hope and hardships via the symbols of the Sea and Desert . It also talks about the hardships they had to endure when they were starting out as a rookie group .
Suga says- ” I thought this was the ocean but it ’ s a desert . a medium-sized , ordinary idol was my second name . countless people get cut from broadcast but someone ’ s empty spot is our dream . they say these kids can ’ t make it ‘ cause their agency is too small .”
Anyone who has been following them for a long time knows exactly what these lyrics mean , because they are privy to the obstacles BTS had to overcome to soar to the sky , as they are now . At the heart of this song lies their belief that they should not stop their musical journey , even if with happiness they feel moments of sadness . RM repeats how the sea ( i . e hope ), desert ( i . e despair ), and the world are the same with different names . They are all part of this wildand-mundane ride we call life .
