BTS - Stigma (English Translation)
BTS - Stigma (English Translation) Lyrics
I've been hiding it
I tell you something
Just to leave it buried
Now I can't endure it anymore
Why couldn't I say it then
I have been hurting anyway
Really, I won't be able to endure it
[Pre-Chorus]
Now cry
It's only that I'm very sorry towards you
Again, cry
Because I couldn't protect you
[Chorus]
Deeper, deeper, the wound just gets deeper
Like pieces of broken glass that I can't reverse
Deeper, it's just the heart that hurts every day
You who was punished in my stead
You who were only delicate and fragile
[Verse 2]
Stop crying, tell me something
Try saying to me, who had no courage
Why did you do that to me then
I'm sorry
Forget it, what right do I have
To tell you to do this, or that
Deeper, deeper, the wound just gets deeper
Like pieces of broken glass that I can't reverse
Deeper, it's just the heart that hurts every day
You who was punished in my stead
You who were only delicate and fragile
[Bridge]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother
Even if I try to hide it
Or conceal it, it can't be erased
"Are you calling me a sinner?"
What more do I have to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry my sister
Even if I try to hide it
Or conceal it, it can't be erased
So, cry, please, dry my eyes, ooh
[Chorus]
That light, that light, please illuminate my sins (Oh)
Where I can't turn back
The red blood is flowing down
Deeper, I feel like dying every day
Please let me be punished
Please forgive me for my sins
Please
About
I think this song is based on V s character in the HYYH ( BTS universe) where Taehyung’s father is abusive towards him and his sister after their mom died. one day he comes home to find his dad abusing his sister and ends up killing him trying to save her. The song talks about the burden he felt all the time he suffered from his father ,the feelings that he hid from everyone while he was being abused (maybe he tried to “play it cool” and not show his friends and sister the hardship he is in) and he feels sorry towards his sister,father and friends for different reasons. He now sees himself as a sinner and blames himself for his sister’s pain(because he was not strong enough to protect her only because he couldn’t stand up to his father ) and therefore he wants to erase his sins but he cant do that and now he just asks for forgiveness.
However, some people have stated that it could be something relating to sexuality. (Not in storyline, rather a personal story, considering he wrote the song lyrics himself.) But that is just a theory, because V of BTS has not spoken about it since the release of the song.
