"art is also alcohol, you get drunk when you drink it, fool". this song is actually about getting lost in art but the way they made it sound like a drinking song at first glance is genius.

[@jessicapierce3027]

BTS are really good at deceiving the listeners. I love when their songs sound like one thing but say something different: Singularity and Seesaw music gives a different vibe than the actual lyrics. Or when their songs use metaphors but the song could also be taken as literal interpretation as well, like Whalien 52 or 134340.

[@atlaxxedits564]

Nah i never really thought of the lyrics that much, its a banger both ways, but as an artist it really is like alcohol and sometimes its a bad trip lmao.

[@forg_tful.]

having suga rap "born as a kpop idol, reborn as an artist" in front of the industry at award shows was THE BEST FEELING.

[@aidegarcia7461]

"Born as a kpop idol, reincarnated as an ARTIST" "A fight with yourself to set a new record" 🍷🔥

i was there day 1 for the speak yourself tour it was amazing

[@sannevandenheuvel5635]

I'm still sad that I couldn't go. I went to the Love yourself tour on the first day in London, but I wanted the Speak yourself tour as well, I'm greedy for more BTS after being a fan for years.

[@fransza8472]

@@sannevandenheuvel5635 yeah once you’ve been to the concert, no other concerts will get you as hyped. We need more!!

[@angiesplaylist23]

These color coded lyrics were extremely off. That channel is known to be inaccurate. 2:35 and 3:35 are jungkook, then when the line is repeated the second time is jimin. 6:47 is jungkook. 6:53 is V. 6:59 is jin. And there were more mistakes. There is a lot of layering in this song

jaeguchi just have no shame in butchering a song like this for views. i really hope higher faculty stop using this channel for lyric translations.

[@pabebelife8733]

Yup, it's really off and inaccurate. Most of these lyric videos were made in a hurry when a song was released that's why the line distribution is inaccurate too especially the English translations. That's why I'm not a fan of these lyric videos & I only trust Army translators on Twitter with BTS songs translation.

[@j134679]

@@pabebelife8733 yeah I hope these channels get sued. They're butchering the image of BTS by making shitty translations just so they can be the first translation & then profit from the views. The channel adds their own intro or outro song to each video with their own song so they can monetize it.

[@palomaclaverol1172]

Thanks for the video! *Okay so here a little interpretation of Dyonisus* Firts keep in mind that Dionysus is a God often called Eleutherios, meaning 'the liberator,' because his wine, music, and ecstatic dance *freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society* - Dyonisus also means *born twice* so it's known that BTS it's basing these Map of the Soul albums on the Jungian psychology, and that the "persona" represents the social mask that it shown to the people, this song represents the process of making music, the process of turning into their stage personas, like a *reincarnation* . The Korean word for art is yesul (예술) and the Korean word for alcohol is sul (술) that's why RM says "Art is alcohol too" so instead of telling us to drink alcohol, the lyrics are actually saying "Listen to my song" and " Get crazy about my music". And of course the creative part of making music is a time-consumin difficult process so that's why they mention "pain of the creation" and how they're always on the studio (parties) and when they're finally "drunk" in art, their personas appears and receives names such as “idol” or “artist”, but at the end it is ultimately their own perceptions of themselves that fuel what they do "What does it matter if I’m an idol or an artist?" This is also a clap back to their song "idol" (being an kpop idol has a negative connotation in SK, they're seen as puppets and even if BTS broke the mold of that concept, there's still a fight over the title they should receive ¿idols or artists?) So this song works as an *acknowledgement of their personas as part of themselves* and also shows their desire of not only make music that people love but also that can be helpful for them, like a method to achieve the *liberation* (like Dyonisus freed his followers) *Some wordplay and references* - In Korean the word for grapes (포도) is also a term for empty seats at concerts. They're "eating grapes" which references how they're doing sold outs in every stadium. ( In myth Dionysus also teaches the art of growing and cultivating grapes) -The Dyonisus' Thyrsus, symbol of prosperity, fertility, hedonism, and pleasure/enjoyment in general, is compared to their mics - The "pain of creation" it's referencing for one side, the hard process of making music and also the story of how Dionysus was born - "Born as a Kpop Idol, reborn as an artist" this maybe represents how the perception that the media has over them has change once they've become famous (but as I mentioned before, there's still people that refuse call them artists) again the reincarnation thing it's bc Dyonisus means "born twice" - "The new record is a fight against oneself" because BTS just keep setting and breaking their own records - Hit the Gong and say "onghaeya” (옹헤야) is a Korean exclamation present in traditional folk music. Through the use of this phrase, BTS ensures that elements of South Korean culture remain ever prevalent in their music Hope this was useful!

Its one of Jhope' top liner, in interview of Persona album, he was the one that came with the main melody and in charge writing the song over all.. he took a bit long times only to rewrite it again and again, just to make the song perfect ... RM said: JHOPE did an amazing work and idea to write majority of the song. We stan only the greatest!

Oh you can't really say you enjoyed dionysus without watching mma 2019 dyonisus performance.. 🔥 They shaked the kpop industry.....

[@CaroHF]

They opened every concert of the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself World Stadium Tour with this song, and it was legendary every single time.

[@rosalinares7860]

The high notes were from Jin. I would not trust that video so much since it does not show correctly who sings each part.

[@AREM94]

I love the energy when they perform this song. Watching live performance gets me all hyped up every time even though I’ve seen it dozens of times

[@rosanmokhtar3736]

Wait when u see them live performing this on the legendary stage of MAMA 2019, and MMA 2019!!!the fortunate ARMY got to see them performed Dionysus live in concert. How lucky of yall!?

[@babyynelsa6435]

Hi guys. I would like to see you react to BTS's "Louder than bombs" or to "Dis-sease" greetings from the Dominican Republic.

[@atvo]

I really felt that excitement when yall realized you've heard the song before! 😄 Since you don't remember watching this at the MMA, the live performance at the MNET Comeback with the white outfits is a must (Not safe for KZbin)!

[@Lilithnunacarrot]

Guys it's okay, not every ARMY will come at you, some are adults 😆 Well...even ARMYs struggled with this *Dionysus* the first time I tried,it sounded like one of the extinct dinosaurs.

[@Kharys100]

It seems that LC and Fredo share some candies since both were hyper asf! I can't with you guys 🤣 thank you for reacting to "Dionysus" guys, I know you saw the coreo of the song on the Mma 2019 reaction but maybe due of the whole things happening during the performance you didn't pay too much attention, if you can react to the Dionysus Mma 2019 dance practice believe me you won't regret 😉💜💜

[@sairysmontanez8162]

Y’all need to see this live because it is another level

I like to imagine an alternate time-line where BTS performed Dionysus at the BBMAs instead of Boy with Luv.

[@palomaclaverol1172]

12:06 This conversation reminds me of *Uhgood* a song from RM's second mixtape *mono* . About the discrepancy between the "ideal" that he has of himself and his real self

You guys is missing so much if you don’t react to the live performance....the choreography is insane plus the energy

[@iamxhakelyn09]

The choreo of this song is just so amazing. You have to check out some of their live performances, they sound even better live. And their energy is up in the sky.

[@predatorkitten]

They opened their last tour with this song except when they do it live they ramp the tempo up the farther you get into the song. Sets the mood for the whole show it's MADNESS. Gets the whole stadium hyped af and then they keep it there for three hours. Unreal. Edit to add that if there are two people and you each drink a shot every time the song says "one shot/two shots" this song is exactly one bottle of soju long. 😂

[@jujubeesbtsarmy0613]

Highly suggest that you watch one of their live performances of Dionysus... it'll blow your minds....it's one of BTS's hardest choreography.

FYI ⚠ NEVER use lyric videos from the channels Jaeguchi or 👉Lemoring. Most of the time their translations are wrong and they sometimes mess up which member is singing at different parts. The only reason their videos have so many views is that they always try to make their videos as fast as possible after a song is released. They don't care for quality only views.

[@SakuraBlossom22]

a lot of the high notes switch between jin and jimin in the song, like the high notes during jhopes part is jin, he did a lot of the background high notes. just want to give credit where due. also the last high note at the very end is also jin. relish in the high note king. also the color coded lyrics are wrong, at 6:06 the jk part is supposed to be jin the high note at 6:59 is also jin... 🥰🥰

dionysus was the roman god of party and wine but he also was a greek so he was a foreigner in another country. The song kind of talks about them being foreigners in the american music industry too. Talks about coming with good music art and performance to the industry but still not being taken seriusly just for being an outsider thats why the performance of this song its so over the top and maximalist.

I think it’s best to read the lyrics on genius and just react to the audio, the people who make these color coded lyrics use Google translate and don’t actually know the language which is why the lyrics are wrong a lot of the time. Sometimes they incorrectly Mark who is singing as well.
