Blue & Grey Lyrics
[Intro: V, Jung Kook]
Where is my angel?
하루의 끝을 드리운
Someone come and save me, please
지친 하루의 한숨뿐
사람들은 다 행복한가 봐
Can you look at me? 'Cause I am blue and grey
거울에 비친 눈물의 의미는
웃음에 감춰진 나의 색깔 blue and grey
[Verse 1: SUGA]
어디서부터 잘못됐는지 잘 모르겠어
나 어려서부터 머릿속엔 파란색 물음표
어쩜 그래서 치열하게 살았는지 모르지
But 뒤를 돌아보니 여기 우두커니 서니
나를 집어삼켜버리는 저 서슬 퍼런 그림자
여전히도 파란색 물음표는
과연 불안인지 우울인지
어쩜 정말 후회의 동물인지
아니면은 외로움이 낳은 나일지
여전히 모르겠어 서슬 퍼런 블루
잠식되지 않길 바래 찾을 거야 출구
[Chorus: Jin, Jung Kook, Jimin, V]
I just wanna be happier
차가운 날 녹여줘
수없이 내민 나의 손
색깔 없는 메아리
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
I just wanna be happier
이것도 큰 욕심일까
추운 겨울 거리를 걸을 때 느낀
빨라진 심장의 호흡 소릴
지금도 느끼곤 해
괜찮다고 하지 마
괜찮지 않으니까
제발 혼자 두지 말아 줘 너무 아파
[Verse 2: j-hope, RM]
늘 걷는 길과 늘 받는 빛
But 오늘은 왠지 낯선 scene
무뎌진 걸까 무너진 걸까
근데 무겁긴 하다 이 쇳덩인
다가오는 회색 코뿔소
초점 없이 난 덩그러니 서있어
나답지 않아 이 순간
그냥 무섭지가 않아
난 확신이란 신 따위 안 믿어
색채 같은 말은 간지러워
넓은 회색지대가 편해
여기 수억 가지 표정의 grey
비가 오면 내 세상
이 도시 위로 춤춘다
맑은 날엔 안개를
젖은 날엔 함께 늘
여기 모든 먼지들
위해 축배를
I just wanna be happier
내 손의 온길 느껴줘
따뜻하지가 않아서 네가 더욱 필요해
Oh this ground feels so heavier
I am singing by myself
먼 훗날 내가 웃게 되면
말할게 그랬었다고
[Outro: V]
허공에 떠도는 말을 몰래 주워 담고 나니
이제 새벽잠이 드네 good night
About
“Blue & Grey” is a guitar ballad that tells the story of an artist’s burn-out.
As V explained, blue is universally symbolic of sadness, while grey is a color that RM often references in his songwriting to convey the same, so V was inspired to use them both to describe that feeling.
“Blue & Grey” was originally intended to be on V’s mixtape and was entirely in English. The group, however, liked it so much that they decided to work it into the album BE. The snippet of the original version can be heard in episode five of BTS' show, In The SOOP.

I think with “Blue & Grey” I just wanted the song to let people know how I was feeling, and how we were feeling, at that time a little better. Obviously everyone was having a hard time, but I think I wanted to share those emotions with ARMY as-is, including the pains we went through in our growth process. And, to put it another way, I think I just felt like making it obvious. I thought it was okay to be that obvious, seeing as I couldn’t put those feelings into words. I just hope people could understand how I was feeling; it’s okay if it becomes forgotten later on.
I didn’t really have to give them [the members] instructions much. I told them it would be nice if they could think of all their problems and then try healing those wounds with their voices, since if they focus on those emotions, there’ll be more feeling in the song. They all did a good job expressing the emotions I wasn’t able to. I wrote “Blue & Grey” when I was at my lowest point, when I was actually asking whether I could keep going with my work or not. Even the fun parts of work became a chore, and my whole life felt aimless. ‘Where do I go from here? I can’t even see the end of the tunnel.’ Those kinds of thoughts hit me hard. It was when work was a major challenge. When I’m happy, I want to work, and when I’m happy I can put on a smile and see the fans, but there was just so much work to do. I’m an easygoing, you know, laid-back person, but I was stretched too thin and I was starting to sputter. What I mean is, I was having a really tough time, and thinking, ‘What’s waiting for me at the end? It’s important to be successful, but I’m also trying to be happy, so how come I’m not happy right now?’ That’s when I started to write “Blue & Grey.”
