Lyrics:
(translated)
You’re the one in my life
My Second Coming of My Dreams
I don’t know what this feeling is
Is this a dream?
Dreams of the blue mirage in the desert
Deep inside me
I’m happy with my breath
The surroundings become more and more transparent
I can hear the sea from far away
Across the dream, over the bush
Go to the place where it becomes clear
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (ooh ooh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia
Like a rainbow (Rainbow) Have I been searching for an erased dream
Common words like fate are different
Your painful eyes see me like
Won’t you please stay in dreams yeah
I can hear the sea from far away
Across the dream, over the bush
Go to the place where it becomes clear
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Even if the sandy bottom cracks
No matter who shakes this world
Never let go of your hand
Please don’t wake up from your dream
I can hear the sea from far away (I can hear it)
Across the dream, over the bush
Go to the place where it becomes clear
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now (door now)
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia
The meaning behind “euphoria”:
The word “Euphoria” means intense excitement and happiness. This song emphasizes on how happy Jungkook is to have his fellow bandmates/friends and ARMY (BTS fandom) in his life. “Close the door now” indicates cutting off those negative feelings, to close and cut off the dark memories, time, thoughts and problems. “When I’m with you, I’m in utopia” the word “utopia” defines an imagined place in which everything is perfect.
“Is this a dream?” He’s basically saying it feels too good to be true, it feels like a dream. “Please don’t wake up from your dream” he doesn’t want it to end.
The general meaning of the song is that he is so happy when they are around when he’s with them nothing and no one else matters, when he’s with them he forgets all about his problems and dark/negative thoughts, he is questioning if this is real, he feels like it’s just a dream and he doesn’t want it to end, he wants it to last forever, he doesn’t want to go back to the reality where everything is dark, suffering and painful. Towards the end of the music video, all the members smiling and laughing with each other.
The message of “Euphoria”
This song is sending a message to ARMY’s saying they should close the door of suffering, pain, and negative thoughts.
Theories
- Jin is time traveling through the past and changing events to save his friends.
- Jin time traveled by burning flower petals.
- Jin saved Taehyung from jumping into the ocean.
- Hoseok and Jimin were both in the hospital due to some type of mental illness.
- Jin changes the past, placing Hoseok in the room to prevent Taehyung from killing his father (Taehyung’s father).
- Jin manages to save all of the members excluding Jimin.
- Jimin was left alone in the hospital after jin saved Hoseok.
- Jimin was trapped in the hospitals while the other members were trying to think of a solution to save Jimin.
- So basically they are sending a message saying that it’s all about sacrificing your life and happiness for the sake of others.
- Jimin was dreaming about all the members being together and happy whilst he was still trapped in the hospital, feeling like he’s in utopia.
- At the end of the music video, it shows all the members were happy, but once they discover jin’s secret, their happiness may fall apart.
