“Life Goes On” finds BTS looking out the window at a world that suddenly hit the pause button. Streets are empty, footprints fade, and rain seems endless, mirroring the uncertainty many of us felt during the global shutdown. The members admit to feeling powerless, as if tripped by a cold handed to them by the world itself, yet they refuse to stay down for long. From lonely halls and rain-soaked clothes, they invite listeners to close their eyes, grab a friend’s hand, and breathe in warmer days ahead.
The chorus becomes a comforting mantra: like an echo in the forest, like an arrow in the blue sky, tomorrow always circles back around. BTS remind us that life quietly continues on pillows, tables, and everyday moments, even when everything else feels frozen. The song is a gentle pep talk that blends melancholy with hope, encouraging us to trust that light will rise again and to keep stitching today and tomorrow together with the simple greeting, “Annyeong.” Life goes on, and with this track, BTS help us move with it—one steady beat at a time.
