Les paroles de la chanson Blood, Sweat & Tears sont profondes et poétiques, et elles véhiculent des messages puissants sur la lutte, la détermination et la rédemption. La chanson parle des sacrifices et des épreuves que l'on doit affronter pour atteindre ses rêves et ses objectifs, symbolisés par le sang, la sueur et les larmes que l'on verse dans cette quête. Les paroles évoquent également des thèmes de tentation et de conflit intérieur, où les membres du groupe luttent avec leurs propres démons pour trouver la lumière et la paix intérieure. Les paroles mettent en avant la dualité entre le bien et le mal, et la lutte incessante pour rester fidèle à soi-même malgré les obstacles et les tentations qui se dressent sur notre chemin. La chanson invite à la réflexion sur le sens de la vie, sur le courage et la résilience nécessaires pour affronter les défis et les épreuves, et sur la beauté qui peut émerger de la douleur et de la souffrance. Elle célèbre la force et la détermination des individus à surmonter les obstacles et à trouver la paix intérieure et la rédemption. BTS s'est souvent inspiré de différentes œuvres littéraires et philosophiques pour créer sa musique et ses vidéos. Le livre qui a eu une influence majeure sur BTS est "Demian" de Hermann Hesse. Ce roman, publié en 1919, explore des thèmes tels que l'identité, la dualité, la quête de soi et la croissance spirituelle. Les membres du groupe ont souvent évoqué leur admiration pour ce livre et expliqué comment il a influencé leur musique et leurs paroles. "Demian" aborde des sujets profonds et existentiels qui résonnent avec les expériences personnelles des membres de BTS, notamment ceux liés à la lutte intérieure, à la quête de sens et à la rédemption. Certains éléments du clip vidéo de BTS "Blood Sweat and Tears", comme la représentation de l'ange déchu, les scènes de lutte intérieure et de rédemption, ainsi que la dualité entre le bien et le mal, ont été directement inspirés par les thèmes abordés dans le livre "Demian". Cette influence littéraire se retrouve dans d'autres chansons et clips vidéo de BTS, qui intègrent des messages symboliques et philosophiques profonds. Ainsi, "Demian" de Hermann Hesse a joué un rôle significatif dans l'inspiration artistique de BTS et a contribué à enrichir le contenu émotionnel et intellectuel de leur musique et de leurs créations visuelles. 💜

Actually, you have hit the nail in the head at the beginning by saying it relates to sin and being sinful. BS&T in general touches the topic of temptation, losing innocence (hence the baloon in RM's part) and entering adulthood. This video is so packed with references (black&white contrast, Icarus, fallen angels, Virgin Mary's face cracking, quote above the mirror, etc.) that is is almost impossible to list them all in one comment. So yeah, explanation video is very helpful 😄 Btw. BS&T Korean version is not a part of BU, but Japanese version is🙂 Great reaction as always 💜

Okay, so this is gonna be a long comment so bear with me! “Blood Sweat & Tears” is the title track of one of their albums called “WINGS” (2016). This particular song and entire album uses a plethora of references that link to one book: “Demian” by german writer Hermann Hesse. This book tells the story of a young boy named Emil Sinclair and his childhood growing up during pre-World War I. He struggles to find his new self-knowledge in the immoral world and is caught between good and evil. Already we have some clues as to what this song/MV is about: the battle between good and evil and temptation. The video opens up with the members in a museum; notice how every member have symbols of innocence, such as a bike or slingshot; also each younger member is paired with an older member, their “mentor”, referencing “Demian”. Jin, the oldest member, stands alone. He is staring at the painting called “The Fall of the Rebel Angels” by Peter Bruegel the Elder. (good angels fighting Lucifer/evil angels fallen from Heaven). On both sides, there is a black and white door, innocence and evil/temptation. Now, If you notice at 5:40, Jungkook is on a swing, and behind him is the painting called “The Lament for Icarus” by Herbert James Draper. Jungkook is representing Icarus troughout the whole video. (V also represents Icarus but in a different form). The swing could represent Icarus being safe, the Icarus following orders (he is supported by a swing, safe from the wrongdoings of the world). Also, notice the lollipop in his hand. This could symbolize either another symbol of innocence, or Icarus’ age as he was a child. Later we see a drop of wax dripping on JK’s finger (6:40). This is a representation of the fall of Icarus and foreshadows what will happen to him later in the video (JK licking the said wax from his finger, a symbol of Icarus’ temptation that would later come in as his downfall, foreshadowed by the painting in the back). At 7:51, V is representing Icarus but also a fallen angel (this scene can also symbolize the fall of Lucifer: he rebelled against God and fell from grace, tempting more angels to do so in the process, thus connecting to the painting at the beginning “The Fall of the Rebel Angels”, maybe this is why he smirks after he falls down the balcony). Behind him we see the painting “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This scene represents the death of Icarus (he ignored his father’s warning about flying too close to the sun, until the wax that kept his wings attached to his body melted…and so he fell to his death-again we have the theme of temptation-Icarus falling to temptation. But…at 8:07/8:14 we see Jungkook again, but this time he is floating. He in this scene is dead, and him floating in the air represents how Icarus started “floating” in the water after he fell and drowned, connecting V’s and JK’s scenes. We also see feathers floating in the air and on the floor as well (being underwater). So the whole Icarus imagery in this MV comes in like this: stage 1: We see JK/Icarus on the swing, Icarus being alive; stage 2: V/Icarus falls off the balcony and into the water; stage 3: The painting in the background (“Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”) foreshadows JK/Icarus when he is floating/drowned (him being dead/underwater); stage 4: the painting behind JK (“The Lament for Icarus”) foreshadows V/Icarus having no wings on anymore which is the final stage. Now, the kissing scene. (RM is reading a paragraph from “Demian” at 8:37, if you didn’t read the book, you will not really understand; also, this scene portrays Jin letting go of the balloon. This can represent letting go of his childhood innocence, his youth and moving into adulthood. During the interlude of the MV, all the members run towards the exit except for Jin and V. If you notice, Jin has a very confused and scared look on his face while V blindfolds him with his hands. After that, a white statue with black wings appears: this statue represents Abraxas-the deity is a representation of the moral and imoral, good and evil. After that, Jin walks closer to it, takes a look at it then kisses it. This scene represents how Jin has finally embraced both good and evil into himself (by kissing Abraxas). We then see V with his wings cut off, giving a smile to the camera (him smiling could symbolize that Jin’s growth is complete, and he finally welcomed chaos into himself which leads to self betterment and growth: Theory of Carl Jung: accepting your shadow). So this whole MV in general is revolving around Jin most of the time, he is the main protagonist. The quote above the mirror is written in German (belonging to Nietzsche) and translates as: “You need to have chaos in yourself in order to give birth to a dancing star”, meaning that if you don’t accept chaos (evil/temptation) into yourself, you will not be able to grow to your full potential and complete your individuation process. There is a lot of reference to art and biblical symbols such as the sculpture behind J-hope which is “The Pietà” by Michelangelo, symbolic within the BU; at 8:10, V is posing similar to “The veiled Virgin” sculpture by Giovanni Strazza; all the members sitting at a table in a very heavenly place, similar to the “Last Supper”, the apple and chalice and many others…

The whole Wings album is about entering adulthood and facing temptations of the world. Blood, Sweat and Tears concept is based on the novel by Herman Hesse titled Demian. There is so many details, that I'm happy you're going to watch explanation video later. In the future if you have time, it would be great if you could check out dance practice videos (on Bangtan TV). They really show the whole choreography clearly, on live TV shows or concerts, camera work takes away from the dance. Of course I'm only recommending that, if you are interested in choreography 😉 no pressure 🤭 I love live performances because you can hear them sing live with no effects on their voices, so you can clearly tell who sings which part. Thank you for your reaction! See you in the next one! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Similar to you, i discovered TXT just after discovering BTS (but in 2020). When i first heard Cat & Dog, i probably had the same reaction...like, oh, this is interesting? 🤔 cute but kind of cringe (i quickly changed though). I viewed the meaning as a bit of "puppy love/i want to be loyal to you" and as you continue to listen to their music, the meaning/vibe of this song becomes clearer. As for now, the song is SO fun live. The barking started during their One Dream US debut tour and then due to pandemic, they didn't perform in front of a live audience until their 3rd Anniversary fanlive & performed it but SK crowd wasn't allowed to cheer. THEN, they finally toured with ACT LOVESICK but it wasn't on the set list. US audience barked anyway & they would perform it during sound check. It was then apart of ACT SWEET MIRAGE & it's ingrained to bark. Member’s even asked SK MOA to bark along 😂. It's such a fun song live.

Though I will say hearing them say "it's no coincidence, it's a kitty-incedence" in English is always so iconic for me and makes it worth it, and Soobin saying "baby here's the leash" makes me laugh every time 😂 Loving your txt reactions!

I love your reaction. Yeonjun has mentioned this when he introduced this song, this song about meeting someone you like but the concept is like about meeting a pet & the owner. Well this song is has a lot reference to the actual cat & dog - butler-game. Well I dont know if it just Korean or cat owner refer themselves as "cat butler" rather than "cat owner". So I guess butler-game is like game between cat owner & the cat be like - cat is more independent while dog is obedient and love the attention. So "I want to be your dog" is like "I will be loyal to you, I want to protect you and I love your attention on me" - the phrase "you shine red and blue" because dog can see red & blue. (well the recent study said dog actually can see is actually blue & yellow). FYI, this song is kinda moa anthem especially during concert. Yup ngl, we bark as our main fanchant.

Hi Jess, please, react to: "A Guide to TXT's ( Yeonjun/Beomgyu/HeuningKai/Taehyun): The TXT Guide Collection 2024 "!!!💛🐿🐰🐧🐻🦊
Yes the lyrics are a bit cringy but yes this is my favorite song for them to do live! It's a hit at their US concerts. MOAs will literally bark at them haha. It's expected. I can't wait for you to hear more of their discography, there is a lot of evolution!

Similar to you, i discovered TXT just after discovering BTS (but in 2020). When i first heard Cat & Dog, i probably had the same reaction...like, oh, this is interesting? 🤔 cute but kind of cringe (i quickly changed though). I viewed the meaning as a bit of "puppy love/i want to be loyal to you" and as you continue to listen to their music, the meaning/vibe of this song becomes clearer. As for now, the song is SO fun live. The barking started during their One Dream US debut tour and then due to pandemic, they didn't perform in front of a live audience until their 3rd Anniversary fanlive & performed it but SK crowd wasn't allowed to cheer. THEN, they finally toured with ACT LOVESICK but it wasn't on the set list. US audience barked anyway & they would perform it during sound check. It was then apart of ACT SWEET MIRAGE & it's ingrained to bark. Member’s even asked SK MOA to bark along 😂. It's such a fun song live.
Wow! I didn’t realize how impactful this song became with MOA live haha! Thanks for your kind words and for sharing this info with me ☺️
Haha the first time I heard the english version, it definitely sounded like complete gibberish 😂 now that i've heard it enough times and my ears have adjusted, I can pretty much make out everything, but the Korean version is still the go to. Though I will say hearing them say "it's no coincidence, it's a kitty-incedence" in English is always so iconic for me and makes it worth it, and Soobin saying "baby here's the leash" makes me laugh every time 😂 Loving your txt reactions! Can't wait to see you get to know them more and dive deeper into the discography, it's such a fun ride!
Thank you for your lovely comment!! So glad you enjoyed, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who had a hard time figuring out what they were saying in English😂☺️
I’m not a fan of the English version. It doesn’t hit like the Korean one 😂 but this song is fire 😂😂
I love your reaction. Yeonjun has mentioned this when he introduced this song, this song about meeting someone you like but the concept is like about meeting a pet & the owner. Well this song is has a lot reference to the actual cat & dog - butler-game. Well I dont know if it just Korean or cat owner refer themselves as "cat butler" rather than "cat owner". So I guess butler-game is like game between cat owner & the cat be like - cat is more independent while dog is obedient and love the attention. So "I want to be your dog" is like "I will be loyal to you, I want to protect you and I love your attention on me" - the phrase "you shine red and blue" because dog can see red & blue. (well the recent study said dog actually can see is actually blue & yellow). FYI, this song is kinda moa anthem especially during concert. Yup ngl, we bark as our main fanchant.
Ohhh thank you for explaining this to me! I was going to be mildly concerned if it turned out TXT just wanted to become animals😂 That’s very neat! Thanks for your kind words too☺️
