BTS - Film out (English Translation) Lyrics
You, in my imagination
Are so vivid, oh-oh
As if you are right there
But I reach out my hand
And you suddenly disappear
[Chorus: Jung Kook & V]
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room
I feel you with every burst of pain
[Refrain: All]
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 2: RM]
Decay too far gone absorbing no light or water
Sealing my wounded heart with a rootless, leafless vow
Two glasses placed side by side, their role
Never fulfilled, ah, just as thеy were
Since you last touchеd them
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room
I feel you with every burst of pain
[Verse 3: SUGA, j-hope & Jung Kook]
Don't have to be right
Just wanted you to stay the way you are
Kind-hearted, always smiling, but
If tears can be measured, it took this long but
I've barely made it by your side (Barely made it)
And found you (Ooh)
[Chorus: V & Jimin]
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room (Ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)
I fall asleep with you vivid in my arms
[Post-Chorus: Jin & Jimin]
The words you whisper, the resonance
Wander aimlessly around the room
The fragrance I smell, the warmth I feel
As long as it lasts, as long as it lasts
You, in my imagination
Are so vivid, oh
As if you are right there
But I reach out my hand
And you suddenly disappear
About
This heartbreaking ballad works the leading soundtrack for the Japanese movie, Signal: Long-Term Unsolved Case Investigation Team (劇場版シグナル 長期未解決事件捜査班).
The movie is a remake of the Japanese tv drama Signal (originally Korean), for which BTS wrote the theme song—“Don’t Leave Me”—in 2018.
The song, co-written by Jung Kook, marks BTS' first collaboration with Japanese rock band back number and Iyori Shimizu.

The song “Film Out” is a track we wrote together with back number, and we were drawn to the beautiful melody when we first received the demo from Mr. Shimizu. We fell in love with the song while we were working on it, so we hope you all like it, too. It’s a ballad with a poignant melody and lyrics, and we’re sure it has the power to touch many people’s hearts. Please enjoy our song along with the movie.
I had some reservations because I’d never written a song that someone else besides myself would sing. But I’m happy that we’ve completed a very lyrical, yet powerful track thanks to our experienced staff, our co-arranger UTA’s efforts, some exciting exchanges with Jung Kook, and the personal qualities and power of expression each of the BTS members have.
