All Of My Life

Jungkook's song 'All Of My Life' delves into the emotional turmoil and existential struggles that many people face. The lyrics open with a sense of despair and exhaustion, as the protagonist feels overwhelmed by life's challenges. The lines '너무 힘들어 삶에 치이고 / 되는 것도 없고 / 가족도 안 보이고' (Life is too hard, nothing works out, I can't see my family) paint a vivid picture of isolation and frustration. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal transformation and the impact of love and ambition on one's life.

As the song progresses, Jungkook reflects on how meeting a significant other has changed him. The lyrics '그러고 보면 나 / 너를 만나 참 많이 변했어' (When I think about it, I changed a lot after meeting you) highlight the transformative power of love. This relationship not only gives him new dreams but also a renewed sense of purpose. However, this newfound ambition comes with its own set of challenges. The lines '더 높은 곳에 올라가야만 했어 / 더 많은 것들을 가져야 가능했어' (I had to climb higher, I had to have more) suggest that achieving these dreams requires immense effort and sacrifice.

The song reaches a poignant conclusion as Jungkook realizes that despite his achievements, something essential is missing. The repeated refrain 'All of my life / You are all of my life' underscores the irreplaceable value of love and connection. Even though he tries to fill the void with other things, nothing compares to the fulfillment that love brings. This emotional journey captures the delicate balance between ambition and love, and the realization that true happiness often lies in the relationships we cherish most.
