Spring Day Poem Analysis

Improved Essays
Missing someone who has left you and waiting seasons after seasons for them to return. The song ‘Spring Day’ by BTS is about missing a friend or a loved one and waiting for winter to end so that they can meet each other once spring comes. Always chasing each other but not being able to meet. A message to show their affection even after parting.

I found this song “Spring Day’ a depressing song because the melody of the song is slow and it sounds emotional even though it's in a different language. Without thinking much of the meaning, it has already affected me with the alluring melody and heavenly vocals. ” Once I've read the lyrics I was overwhelmed with emotions. The lyrics "You know it all. You’re my best friend. The sun will rise again"

The song talks about longing for a loved one, but the MV shows the members being on a paradise called “Omelas” and one other person is riding a train with a longing and sad look in his eyes. The plot is somewhat similar to the short story “The Ones Who Walks Away from Omelas” where one has to sacrifice his happiness for the happiness of others. Throughout the song, it talks about snow and winter "Even in August, it’s all winter here" "Wanna put an end this winter". This could refer not to the actual winter season but rather the emotional state. The winter symbolizes the person's emotions are frozen and their heart lives in 'winter' due to the immense pain of losing someone close to them. In contrast, the spring mentioned in "And the spring comes again and until the flowers bloom again please stay there a little longer" symbolizes a chance to see them again. Spring comes after winter, revealing a beautiful beginning of a new season. This allows listeners to connect to the song as most have experienced the end of the emotional cold and moving on, being happier when they will finally be able to see their dear one …show more content…
Though it may not necessarily talk about the affection towards a girl but about a strong bond between friends. From the MV, it gives a different perspective to the song which could mean a death of a friend, perhaps from suicide. "Yeah, I hate you. You left me but I never stopped thinking about you" the lyrics hints that a friend has passed away or committed suicide. I mean, why would you hate someone who has passed away? It's most likely due to the person choosing to end her life, somehow experiencing an unfair death. The audience would relate, especially to the younger generation, who experiences anger when grieving the unfortunate passing of a loved one. The youth suffer from the pressure of school and expectations from family. This misery has led to numerous suicides in order to break free from the burdens of life. With this in mind, students have second thoughts about killing or hurting themselves and be wary of their friends who might be dealing with this kind of situation. I admit that I have thoughts of ending my life due to the pressure of school and social expectations but since I am quite religious, I believe that we are not qualified to take away our lives for whatever reasons. Only God has the authority to do that. This prevented me from further self-harm. This song has taught me to love myself and that someone would suffer once I leave and it pains me to watch my loved ones experience

    If you didn’t know it was written about a child passing away you could interpret it as a breakup or a child growing up and moving out for the first time. It paints a portrait of someone absolutely trying to cope with a loved one not being around anymore. You feel the pain of someone trying to put away constant reminders of a loved one in an effort to heal. I wouldn’t say they are trying to forget about them completely, just moving the physical memories out of sight. The chorus of this song leaves so much open to interpretation that people have linked the lyrics to drug addiction and even chasing a relationship between two friends.…

The song itself is written from the perspective of death, death talks about how it should not be feared and it even tells you “Baby take my hand, we’ll be able to fly”(Cult).

    In Silko’s “Ceremony,” women are associated with the birthing and the rebirth of man-kind and nature. In many cases, the creation of man-kind and nature has been directly linked to a higher power of God, so in a sense, women are the equivalent of a sort of spiritual hero. We seem to grasp a strong sense of the all-powerful female role by the strong feminist theme that Silko introduces us to upon the opening of the text when she recounts a native poem, “Ts’its’nako, Thought-Woman, is sitting in her room and whatever she thinks about appears. She thought of her sisters… and together they created the Universe this world and the four worlds below. Thought Woman, the spider, named things and as she named them they appeared.”…
