Listening to BTS takes me back to old memories whenever I follow along with translations of a song of theirs.
Speaking of old memories, I began listening to BTS near the end of 2015 and they compelled me to the genre of K-pop. Their first comeback I got to tune into was with their song "Blood Sweat and Tears." Now from their album WINGS to You Never Walk Alone to Love Yourself: Her to Love Yourself: Tear, their song "Anpanman" in their latest comeback album (Love Yourself: Tear) drew attention from many people. This is the only song off their album to be both a Japanese and (when translated) an English word. Though BTS gained 12 wins for "Fake Love" on Korean music shows, this song isn't to be overlooked.

Lyrics:
V
Waiting for you Anpanman, Waiting for you Anpanman
[Comment: After reading an article about the deeper meaning behind "Anpanman," I was even more touched by every single note they hit and every word that was sung and rapped.]
j-hope
I don’t have biceps or pecs
I don’t have a super car like Batman
It was my dream to become a hero
But the only thing I can give you is Anpan
I dreamed of a hero like Superman
So I jumped around, bouncing to the sky
Wasn’t scared of getting my kneecaps scratched up
It was my innocent childhood imagination
Suga
I’m not a superhero
Don’t expect too much from me
I can be your hero
Will this get through to you?
I don’t know
But I have to do this, Mom
Who can it be if it’s not me?
You can call me say Anpan
[Comment: I am almost positive that they are saying that you can be your own hero. And I love that a simply, fun song like this has such meaning to it.]
Jin
Waiting for you Anpanman
ALL:
(Lemme hear ya say, lemme hear ya say)
[Comment: Though there are many repetition in this song, this bit of repetition is the best.]
Jin
Waiting for you Anpanman
ALL:
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn It up)
V
Have more strength
ALL:
(Lemme hear ya say, lemme hear ya say)
V
I’ll be your strength
ALL:
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
Jungkook
Keep turning, turning, my Anpan
Keep ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
Open my eyes, I’m a hero but still in a maze
That young man, young man, young man
Jimin
Secretly only getting scars
But ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
It hurts, hero but place your fears behind
Anpanman panman panman
Suga
I’m a new generation // ALL: Anpanman
I’m a new superhero // ALL: Anpanman
What I have is this song here
Lemme say “All the bad men, cop out”
j-hope
I’m a new generation // ALL: Anpanman
I’m a new superhero // ALL: Anpanman
What I have is this song here
Lemme say “All the bad men, cop out”
RM
Sometimes, everything is so scary
So many things that I love
Some people say I’m an old geezer now
That I have no right, that I should just do what I’ve been doing
But I still wanna be a hero
But I can only give you an Anpan
And tell you that you did a good job
But if you call me, I’ll fly over to you
So call me
Jimin
Waiting for you Anpanman
ALL
(Lemme hear ya say, lemme hear ya say)
Jimin
Waiting for you Anpanman
ALL
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn It up)
Jungkook
Have more strength
ALL
(Lemme hear ya say, lemme hear ya say)
Jungkook
I’ll be your strength
ALL
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
V
Keep turning, turning, my Anpan
Keep ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
Open my eyes, I’m a hero but still in a maze
That young man, young man, young man
Jimin
Secretly only getting scars
But ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
It hurts, hero but place your fears behind
Anpanman panman panman
Jungkook
Honestly
I’m afraid of falling
Of disappointing you
But still, even if I have to use all my strength
I will stay by your side
Jimin
Though I’ll fall again
Though I’ll make mistakes again
Though I’ll fall into a mud pit again
Trust me, because I’m a hero
Yeah yeah
Jungkook
Keep turning, turning, my Anpan
Keep ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
Open my eyes, I’m a hero but still in a maze
That young man, young man, young man
Jin
Secretly only getting scars
But ballin’ ballin’ still bulletproof
It hurts, hero but place your fears behind
Anpanman panman panman
j-hope
I’m a new generation // ALL: Anpanman
I’m a new superhero // ALL: Anpanman
What I have is this song here
Lemme say “All the bad men, cop out”
RM
I’m a new generation // ALL: Anpanman
I’m a new superhero //ALL: Anpanman
What I have is this song here
Lemme say “All the bad men, cop out”
I didn't a lot to say about this song's lyrics, because what else is there to say? It left me speechless.

—END OF LYRICS—
Though my favorite song of their album is "The Truth Untold," this is the song that I would listen to even years into the future. I love the distribution of lines and the adorable dance moves. Many would say that this is "Go Go" 2.0 (Go Go is a song off the album before this one). I remember that I started listening to BTS all because of the meanings behind their songs. I started off listening to and loving "DOPE" and then "Young Forever" and then "Lost." But amidst all of their title tracks and side tracks, I would say that "Anpanman" is the best song ever written and composed. Not only does the song lift one's spirit, but it can get anyone up on their feet.
I didn't a lot to say about this song's lyrics, because what else is there to say? It left me speechless.
