The song "BTS - Intro: Persona (Romanized)" by Genius Romanizations explores themes of self-identity, personal growth, and the desire for self-expression. The lyrics delve into questioning one's true self and the search for a genuine identity.

In the first verse, RM reflects on the masks people wear and how he has been searching for the answer to who he truly is. The line "Naneun nuguinga pyeongsaeng muleobon jilmun" translates to "I've been asking myself who I am my whole life." He expresses frustration at not being able to find a clear answer, symbolized by the phrase "chajji moshal i jilmun" meaning "the unanswered question that can't be found."

The lyrics also touch upon societal expectations and the pressure to conform. RM questions how he truly feels, acknowledging his struggle to match up to other people's expectations of him. This can be seen in the lines "Naneun naega dwaejiinji mwonjido ajig jal moleugessneunde" meaning "I still don't know who I've become." He then dismisses those who try to judge or control his persona by spitting out the line "Ptui!"

In the second verse, RM reflects on his past and the persona he once presented as a "Superhero" or idol. He expresses a desire to break free from the confines of others' perceptions and expectations. The line "Yaeneun supeul borago gyaeneun deulkkocceul bora hae" means "Words want to create superheroes, questions want to split into twigs." This line suggests that he wants to break away from the preconceived notions and stereotypes placed upon him.

The lyrics also reference the immense pressure and scrutiny that comes with fame. The line "Mudae arae deon jomyeong arae deon jakkunatana" translates to "On the stage, under the spotlight, how many more masks do you want?" This highlights the notion of constantly putting on a façade for the public eye.

The pre-chorus reflects on the music industry and its superficiality. RM questions the genuine nature of music, dance, and appearance, addressing the artificiality of the industry. He feels a sense of disconnectedness, saying "Sesangeun sasil amu gwansimeopseo naui seotureum" meaning "The world actually has no interest in my stories."

In the chorus, RM expresses his desire to understand and define his true self. He questions his identity and urges the listeners to introspect, asking "Who the hell am I?" The repetition of phrases like "I just wanna go, I just wanna fly" suggests a longing for freedom and the ability to break free from societal expectations.

The bridge emphasizes the importance of embracing oneself and not seeking validation solely from others. The lines "Dear myself neon Jeoldaero neoui ondoreul ilhjima" meaning "Dear myself, don't ever abandon who you are" and "Naneun nal sogyeowasseuljido ppeongchyeowasseuljido" meaning "I might have denied and disregarded myself" emphasize self-acceptance and self-love.

Overall, "BTS - Intro: Persona (Romanized)" explores the journey of self-discovery and the struggle to find one's true identity in a world filled with expectations and masks. The song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and not let external influences define them.
