[Chorus]
새벽에 맞는 저 달빛
여전히 그때와 같네
내 삶은 많은 게 변했지만 뭐
저 달빛은 여전히 그대로라고
새벽에 맞는 저 달빛
여전히 그때와 같네
변화는 모두에게 필연적이지
어떻게 변해가는지가 우리의 업일지도


[Verse 2]
가끔씩 내가 천재인 것 같다가도
가끔씩 내가 재능이 없는 것 같기도 해

어떨 땐 곡이 미친듯이 나오다가 다시
막힐 때는 한없이 또 막히더라구 맞아 지금도
Verse one 은 존나 빠르게 썼는데도
Verse two 는 진짜 안 나오네 쥐어짜도
인생도 마찬가지겠지 모 아니면 도
어차피 평행은 없어 선택의 문제라고
영원은 존재하지 않겠지 그 무엇도
불멸의 존재는 존나게 부담스럽고
그냥 음악이 좋아서 시작한 게 단데
내게 붙이는 수식어들은 가끔은 버겁네

어쩌겠어 그냥 달려야지 뭐
어쩌겠어 꽉 쥔 건 잡아야지 뭐
어쩌겠어 받은 건 갚아야지 뭐
부딪힐 것 같으면 더 세게 밟아 임마
[Chorus]
새벽에 맞는 저 달빛
여전히 그때와 같네
내 삶은 많은 게 변했지만 뭐
저 달빛은 여전히 그대로라고
새벽에 맞는 저 달빛
여전히 그때와 같네
변화는 모두에게 필연적이지
어떻게 변해가는지가 우리의 업일지도

About

Song Bio

“Moonlight” is the opening song of D-2. A more mellow track compared to past songs, Yoongi opens his mixtape with a narrative of him giving himself a pep talk to release the followup to his first mixtape Agust D.

The song shares a narrative of him as a music producer and how he questions his own abilities and whether he is as great as the rest of the world perceives him to be. At the end, however, he resolves his inner turmoil by remarking how all he can do is continue on with his life and hope that he is doing what he is meant to be doing.

Genius Answer

I wrote this track because I was doing one of our shows in 2019. I played a demo version during show and the reaction was: ‘Hey. What is this?’ Of course it needed to be sent in for some arrangements, but people seemed to totally like it. So as soon as I got back, I wrote verse 1. Verse 1 was finished really quickly. Just like the lyrics. It was finished so quickly that I couldn’t finish verse 2 for a really long time. So I just wrote that into the lyrics. I used the guided version for the rap. I used all the recordings of the guided version of the rap, for this song. For the vocals I wasn’t able to work much on the tracks. I was working on the album Map of the Soul: 7. From September 2019 [when he finished raps] to May 2020 I was constantly changing my singing style, so we had to touch up the vocals a little.
