BTS' New Song "Dis-Ease" Has A Double Meaning That'll Blow Your Mind
The moment ARMYs have been waiting for all of 2020 is finally here. BTS dropped their album, BE, on Friday. Nov. 20, and it's everything fans could have hoped for and more. After announcing on Sept. 27, that a new album was forthcoming, details began to emerge about the record, leaving fans excited for what RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook had in store. Even though BE has finally arrived, fans are still wondering: What do BTS' "Dis-Ease" lyrics mean in English? The answer, which has a double meaning, will blow your mind.
Ahead of the release of BE, Big Hit Entertainment spoke out on behalf of the boys about what the album meant to them, explaining in a post on Weverse: "The latest story from BTS begins by declaring that ‘Even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on' and imparts a message of healing to fans and to the world. This album is made more special by direct involvement from BTS in not only the music, but from the concept and composition to design.

From there, it was clear this album held a special place in BTS' hearts. Now that the lyrics for "Dis-Ease" have been translated, it's clear the boys used their brilliant minds to come up with a track that not only reflects the uncertain feelings they've felt during the global pandemic, but also gives hope for the future.
With lyrics like, "Even if I scream, I'm hungry for achievements everyday," fans get a feel for how RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have been dealing with the confusing times 2020 has brought.
On the track, J-Hope reveals that he relieves his "anxiety with a sip of coffee," while taking things day by day. RM, meanwhile, sings about how his "heart needs a vacation."
Check out the full lyrics below.
Verse 1 (J-Hope)
Uh, it looks like I lost something
I relieve anxiety with a sip of coffee
An endless rest
Uncomfortable happiness that suddenly came to me
24 hours, we have a lot of time
I sleep all day, now there's no problem
Break down, what should we do?
I'm the one who eats three meals a day
My sin, a dog biting me while I rest
Don't do that
Even if I scream, I'm hungry for achievements every day
E'r'yday do my thang, damn if I fail
I keep growling, a rotten rope
It's unsafe, this is a disease
That job gives you a physical stun, ow!
Pre-Chorus (V, Jungkook, Jin & Jimin)
Maybе
It's because I'm sick
Because of my many thoughts
I hate that
I'm not so simple
I'm too young, my body's the only grown up
The limp of life
One for the laugh
Two for the show
Just like I'm so fine
Chorus (Jungkook & Jimin)
Everyday I comfort myself
They're all the same, ain't so special
Ayy, man keep one, two step
Let's calmly treat them all
Post-Chorus (Jimin, Suga, & J-Hope)
My disease
Dis-dis-dis-disease
Scare away
This cowardice
Verse 2 (RM)
RM, yeah
My heart needs a vacation
Oh, just do your job
I'm ill, yeah, I'm the job itself
A friend named "rest" oh, I never liked him
How much do you have to earn to be happy?
This hits your head like a glass bottle
I don't know if it's the world that's sick
The dark doesn't blur out even when I take off my glasses
Whatever label is attached to me after this time
I hope that's all you
You, you, you
Verse 3 (Suga)
Everybody's got a lot of diseases, I'm confused by that
That humankind is inherently disgusting
400 more cases of heart disease
There aren't many people that don't work
Yo, is it the world or me that's sick?
Is it just a difference in interpretation?
I don't know if that's all
I don't know how to change someone
Something faster than that is me changing
Pre-Chorus (Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, & V)
Maybe
It's because I'm sick
Because of my many thoughts
I hate that
I'm not so simple
I'm too young, my body's the only grown up
The limp of life
One for the laugh
Two for the show
Just like I'm so fine
Chorus (V & Jin)
Everyday I comfort myself
They're all the same, ain't so special
Ayy, man keep one, two step
Let's calmly treat them all
Post-Chorus (Jin, Suga, & J-Hope)
My disease
Dis-dis-dis-disease
Throw away the fear
Fe-fe-fe-fear
Bridge (Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, & V
Sick and tired
But I don’t wanna mess up
'Cause life goes on
Through the fire
I'll walk more like myself, woah
(Walk it, walk it, walk it)
When night falls, I close my eyes
(Walk it, walk it, walk it)
I wanna trust in the day you knew
Now wake up one more time
It's morning again, I have to take it today
Let's go, one more night
I don't know what's at the end, ayy
Woo, there's no eternal night
I'm stronger
A spark of fire
I will never fade away
Chorus (Jimin & Jungkook)
Everyday I comfort myself
They're all the same, ain't so special
Ayy, man keep one, two step
Let's calmly treat them all
Post-Chorus (Jungkook, Suga, J-Hope, & Jimin:
My disease
Dis-dis-dis-disease
Throw away the fear
Fe-fe-fe-fear
Throw away the fear
Outro (V)
Close window!
