Lyrics of NORMAL by BTS

[“NORMAL” 가사]

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin, Jin, V]
Kerosene, dopamine, chemical induced
Fantasy and fame, yeah the things we choose
Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof
Yeah, we call this s*it normal
Run away, out of sight, don’t know what I want
Wish I had a minute just to turn me off
Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?
Yeah, we call this s*it normal (Aa-oo)

[Verse 1: Jimin]
Heavy is the head when you chasing true

Will you color me red?
Will you color me blue?
Two sides of a coin and they both ain’t true
Is it different for mе?
Is it different for you?

[Pre-Chorus: V, Jung Kook]
Got me feeling things unusual and I livе ’em all
Got me and my feelings up on this wall and my knees-ees

[Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin, Jimin]
Kerosene, dopamine, chemical induced
Fantasy and fame, yeah, the things we choose
Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof
Yeah, we call this s*it normal
Run away, out of sight, don’t know what I want
Wish I had a minute just to turn me off
Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?
Yeah, we call this s*it normal (Aa-oo)

[Verse 2: j-hope, SUGA, RM]
How I’m ‘posed to feel?
Used to think that I was built with a heart made of steel
Now I understand the truth, some pain don’t heal
If everything’s just happy, that ain’t real (That ain’t real)

I breathe everything out like a thousand times
Normal and special, they are just some lines
One deep sigh, then it slips away, fades away
What I try to keep never want to stay
Runaway, pushing me, pulling me, said you wanted all of me
But what is even all of me?
Suddenly, part of me is haunting me, heard the things they calling me
What the hell you want from me? (Want from me)

[Pre-Chorus: V, Jung Kook]
Got me feeling things unusual and I live them all
Got me and my feelings up on this wall and my knees-ees

[Chorus: Jimin, V, Jin, Jung Kook]
Kerosene, dopamine, chemical induced
Fantasy and fame, yeah, the things we choose
Show me hate, show me love, make me bulletproof
Yeah, we call this s*it normal
Run away, out of sight, don’t know what I want
Wish I had a minute just to turn me off
Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?
Yeah, we call this s*it normal (Aa-oo)

[Outro: Jin]
No, we, no, we, no, we call this s*it normal
No, we, no, we, no, we call this s*it normal, yeah
No, we, no, we, no, we call this s*it normal

Meaning of NORMAL Lyrics

Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin, Jin, V Meaning:
This part shows how they feel stuck in a cycle of chasing artificial highs, like excitement, fame, and validation. These things feel powerful but also draining. Even extreme emotions like love and hate start to feel routine. They’re overwhelmed, unsure of what they truly want, and wish they could just pause everything. Yet, all this chaos has become something people accept as everyday life.

Verse 1: Jimin Meaning:
Here, the focus shifts to the pressure of searching for truth and identity. It feels heavy and confusing. People try to label or define you in simple ways, but reality is never that clear. Everything feels divided into sides, yet neither side fully explains who you are. It raises the question of whether anyone really experiences things differently, or if everyone is equally lost.

Pre-Chorus: V, Jung Kook Meaning:
This part captures emotional overload. The feelings they experience are intense and unfamiliar, but instead of avoiding them, they go through all of it. It’s like their emotions are exposed for everyone to see, leaving them feeling vulnerable and almost collapsing under the weight of it all.

Chorus: V, Jung Kook, Jin, Jimin Meaning:
The repetition brings back that sense of being trapped in a loop. They continue chasing stimulation and dealing with mixed emotions, while feeling lost inside. Even though they recognize how unhealthy or confusing it is, they still call it normal because it’s what they’ve gotten used to.

Verse 2: j-hope, SUGA, RM Meaning:
This section dives deeper into self-reflection. They question how they’re supposed to feel when everything seems overwhelming. What once felt like strength now feels fragile, and they realize some pain never truly disappears. Constant happiness doesn’t feel real either, so they’re stuck between extremes. The line between being normal and special feels meaningless. They try to hold onto parts of themselves, but those parts keep slipping away. There’s also pressure from others who expect everything from them, making them question their identity even more. It becomes frustrating, like they’re being pulled in different directions without understanding what people really want from them.

Pre-Chorus: V, Jung Kook Meaning:
Again, it highlights that emotional intensity hasn’t faded. They continue to feel everything deeply, even when it becomes overwhelming. Their vulnerability is still exposed, showing how constant and unavoidable these emotions are.

Chorus: Jimin, V, Jin, Jung Kook Meaning:
The cycle repeats once more, reinforcing how this lifestyle and emotional confusion keeps going. They’re still searching for clarity but remain stuck in the same patterns, calling it normal because they don’t know any other way to live.

Outro: Jin Meaning:
The final part challenges the idea of normality. By repeating the phrase, it starts to sound less like acceptance and more like denial or frustration. It feels like they’re questioning whether this way of living should really be considered normal at all.
