The line in the song, “I can’t show you a ruined part of myself. Once again I put a mask on and go to see you, but I still want you,” depicts the man’s struggles which pulls the heartstrings of the people who listen to the song.

3. When you are feeling excited: Dynamite

He mentions that he sometimes hates the unfamiliar buildings of a place, and he just wants to go back home. This song shows RM’s ability to be vulnerable and open to his fans about his thoughts. With the song’s sad backstory, the upbeat sound of the music balances it out. So, whenever you feel lonely, just listen to this song.
