Chasing Dreams and Overcoming Gray Days: BTS's 'Like A Star'

BTS's song 'Like A Star' is a poignant exploration of dreams, aspirations, and the struggles that come with them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of yearning for freedom and change, likening these desires to stars in the sky and birds flying at dawn. These metaphors suggest a sense of hope and the pursuit of something greater, something that can transform one's life. The recurring imagery of stars and dreams highlights the beauty and elusiveness of these aspirations, emphasizing how they can inspire and drive individuals to seek a better future.

The song delves deeper into the personal struggles of the narrator, who describes their life as 'gray,' neither black nor white. This metaphor reflects a sense of mediocrity and stagnation, where time passes without significant change or progress. The narrator's childhood is marked by missed opportunities and a lack of courage, painting a picture of a young person who is paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and self-doubt, as the narrator grapples with their inability to seize the chances that come their way.

Despite these challenges, the song carries an underlying message of hope and resilience. The narrator acknowledges the presence of dreams and the potential for change, even if they seem distant and unattainable. The mention of stars shining brighter at night and the encouragement to look further than anyone else suggests that there is always a possibility for transformation and growth. 'Like A Star' ultimately serves as a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of hope and the potential for a brighter future.
