About the Song
《Louder than bombs》 is a haunting and emotionally expansive track by BTS from MAP OF THE SOUL : 7, released in 2020 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Written and composed by Troye Sivan, RM, SUGA, and j-hope, the song explores loneliness, fear, and emotional distance with a quiet intensity that feels both intimate and overwhelming. With a globally recognized name like Troye Sivan among the credits, 《Louder than bombs》 stands out as one of BTS’s most atmospheric and emotionally resonant songs, and I would strongly recommend it to listeners who appreciate the group at their most vulnerable, reflective, and deeply affecting.

The unfamiliar shadow in the cheers
Maybe I can never trust again
Let’s only see and hear the good things
Your silent sadness
Shakes me
In my quiet sea
Waves rise

The pouring pain
The expression you made
Since I knew it wasn’t that expression
baby i’m nothin’er than nothin’
lighter than the light
don’t you want a thing from me
but you say i’m somethin’er than somethin’
lighter than the light
don’t you give up your life
just for better days
everyday’s a maze
wonder if this is my place
where’s my way?
hol-lo mu-neo-ji-neun jung mute
Collapsing alone Mute

Exists everywhere, don’t be afraid
No matter what night swallows me, I won’t give up
Fight for you, we’ll shine
You and I feel together
Sadness and pain
It’s never a coincidence
Yeah we picked this game

The times I ignored you
The days I kept running away are no more
Louder than bombs I say

No matter what I do, I roll in the mud

Who will do it?

Promise you and me
No matter what waves crash
We’ll endlessly sing towards you
The song conveys a profound sense of vulnerability and the courage to confront the inevitable darkness within oneself. It portrays the realization that shared pain is not a coincidence but a part of a collective journey, promising to sing through any storm as a powerful declaration of resilience for those who are struggling.
