About This Track

Jin's solo turn on 'Awake' is a study in quiet persistence. The song finds him caught between resignation and defiance, unable to fly like the petals he watches fall, yet still reaching upward. There's no grand resolution here, only the stubborn act of continuing: walking through darkness, holding tight to six flowers, refusing to surrender even as he admits his fear. The production stays minimal, letting Jin's voice carry the weight. He moves between verses that confess vulnerability and a chorus that insists on trying anyway, the repetition of "maybe I" becoming its own kind of strength. By the bridge, the mantra "wide awake" hardens into something closer to acceptance. This is not triumph. It's the smaller, harder thing: showing up when you're terrified, and calling that enough.

"Awake" is a track by Jin (진), from the album Wings, released 10th October 2016. It's filed under K-Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Jin (진).

Lyrics

Awake

[방탄소년단 "Awake" 가사]

[Verse 1: Jin]

믿는 게 아냐 버텨보는 거야

할 수 있는 게 다 이것뿐이라서

머물고 싶어 더 꿈꾸고 싶어

그래도 말야 떠날 때가 됐는걸

[Pre-Chorus: Jin]

Yeah, it's my truth (Ooh-ah)

It's my truth (Ooh-ah)

온통 상처투성이겠지, ooh

But it's my fate (Ooh-ah)

It's my fate (Ooh-ah)

그래도 발버둥치고 싶어, ooh

[Chorus: Jin]

Maybe I, I can never fly

저기 저 꽃잎들처럼

날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼, yeah

Maybe I, I can't touch the sky

그래도 손 뻗고 싶어

달려보고 싶어 조금 더

[Verse 2: Jin]

이 어둠 속을 그냥 걷고 또 걷고 있어

행복했던 시간들이 내게 물었어

너 넌 정말 괜찮은 거냐고, ooh, no, ayy

난 대답했어 아니 나는 너무 무서워

그래도 여섯 송이 꽃을 손에 꼭 쥐고

나 난 걷고 있을 뿐이라고, ooh, no

[Pre-Chorus: Jin]

But it's my fate (Ooh-ah)

It's my fate (Ooh-ah)

그래도 발버둥치고 싶어, ooh

[Chorus: Jin]

Maybe I, I can never fly

저기 저 꽃잎들처럼

날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼, yeah

Maybe I, I can't touch the sky

그래도 손 뻗고 싶어

달려보고 싶어 조금 더

[Bridge: Jin]

Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

Don't cry (cry, cry)

Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

No lie (No lie, no lie, no lie, yeah)

Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

Don't cry (Don't cry, don't cry)

Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

No lie (Lie, lie)

[Chorus: Jin]

Maybe I, I can never fly

저기 저 꽃잎들처럼

날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼, yeah

Maybe I, I can't touch the sky

그래도 손 뻗고 싶어

달려보고 싶어 조금 더
