My Top Ten Favorite BTS Song Lyrics from 2020

Hello, and welcome back to Bangtannie Blog! We're halfway through the year and BTS have already brought us a plethora of beautiful, meaningful songs with lyrics that touch the hearts of all who listen. They show no sign of stopping as well, letting us in on discussions of an upcoming self-produced album, as well as the release of their newest Japanese album in July. Before their next comeback, I figured I would compile a list of some of my very favorite lyrics from the songs produced by the members of BTS this year. Here are (in no particular order) my top ten favorite BTS song lyrics from 2020.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*




"I'm okay but I'm not okay. I told myself I'm used to it, but I'm in pain like it's the first time."
- Jamais Vu, Map of the Soul 7






"Do you finally get it? That giving your best effort every time is what it means to do your best."
- Interlude: Shadow, Map of the Soul 7






"If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death."
- Black Swan, Map of the Soul 7






"Even if my knees drop to the ground, as long as they don't get buried, it won't matter."
- On, Map of the Soul 7






"Will something be different? It won't be something like that. But this day will be over when the minute and second hands overlap. The world holds its breath for a little while, zero o'clock."
- Zero O'Clock (00:00), Map of the Soul 7






"I didn't even have a name. You loved me until I met you and now you're my reason."
- Moon, Map of the Soul 7






"Even if winter comes again, even if I'm blocked off, I will still walk. We are, we are forever bulletproof."
- We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal, Map of the Soul 7






"We may not be on the same page, but I want to walk this path with you, still with you."
- Still With You, Jungkook






"Don't be afraid. I'll approach slowly. I'm giving you advance notice, baby. I'll gently accept your vulnerable self, your deepest parts now."
-Stay Gold, Map of the Soul 7: The Journey






"I hope you don't forget that giving up decisively also counts as courage."
- Burn It, D-2

My Top Ten Favorite Cute ARMY Bomb Designs

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Just recently, I ordered and received my very first ARMY Bomb. While it's gorgeous just as it is, I've been thinking about decorating it to add some personality to it. I've spent hours flipping through different designs on Pinterest and Twitter for inspiration, and I've compiled a list of some of my very favorite designs. I hope this gives you inspiration as well! Enjoy!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*




First off, we have this GORGEOUS Love Yourself: Answer-themed ARMY Bomb. The color scheme on this is INCREDIBLE. I love how well the artist recreated the holographic effect of the album while adding their own softer flair with the pink and white flowers. Topped off with a holographic butterfly, this is a true masterpiece and a perfect homage to the album.






Next, we've got this beautiful bomb based off The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt.1 Pink Version. This simple but lovely design translates so perfectly on the base of this lightstick, and is a great reminder of, in my personal opinion, the very best BTS era to exist.






As a Koya bias, this design really speaks to me. From the different Koya-based emoticons to the adorable, sleepy Koya on top, this decoration is perfect for Koya lovers everywhere. Even if Koya isn't your bias, this design is too adorable to not at least try to persuade you otherwise.






Next, we've got this super fun Hope World inspired lightstick. Though the design is incredibly busy, it all flows together so seemlessly. The artist paid so much attention to detail, from the Hope World album design to the sunflower wrapped around the top of the base. This design is probably the most fun of my top picks. 






The member mic designs seem to be pretty popular among custom ARMY bomb designs, but it's such a classic that it never gets old. This particular one, based off of Jungkook's mic, is so gorgeously done. Designs with this many gems take HOURS to complete, and I commend the artist for their patience.








This one is just. SO cute. If this design doesn't make you fall in love with Mang, then I don't know what will. This design perfectly ties together Mang's color scheme and the Hobicore aesthetic, and I absolutely love it. I could not ask for more in a soft, cutesy design.





This design looks good enough to eat. This minimal but cute Namjoon/Koya design is so well done. The artist really paid so much attention to detail, from the stripes of frosting and sprinkles to the literal cherry on top. Finished off with a Namjoon keychain, this is the perfect design for Namjoon biases with a sweet tooth.






As someone who is still irrevocably in love with Euphoria, this design really speaks to me. While simple, the care used in this work of art is impeccable. The color gradient and handwriting are exquisite, and the flower gems around the top of the base finish off this delicate look.






Can I just say WOW?? The attention to detail in this Serendipity design is INSANE. I love that they managed to include the moon and night sky, the yellow balloon, and Jimin sitting at the edge of the dock. This design genuinely belongs in a museum.






And finally, I found it only appropriate to end with an homage to the BTS song that is dearest to my heart: Spring Day. I don't know if it's just me, but this design really evokes so much emotion. The scene of the boys looking out towards the bare tree during sunrise is a firm reminder that, "the morning will come again. No darkness, no season is eternal." This is such a strikingly beautiful design and I am in awe over the detail.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Alright, that's it for this post. Those were just some of my very favorite ARMY bomb designs. I can't wait to use this list for inspiration for my own lightstick. Are there other spectacular designs you've seen that weren't included in this post? Drop them down below! Let's talk about them.(: Thanks again for dropping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

My Top Ten Favorite BTS Song Lyrics from 2020
