BTS's "Proof" anthology album is finally here, having hit shelves and streaming platforms on June 10. The three-disc album is comprised of 48 tracks spanning BTS's epic nine-year career. While the release doesn't include as much new material as fans have grown accustomed to with most new BTS albums, the release's paired-down offering of three original songs has allowed fans to dig deeper into the lyrics than ever before. So, in between streaming the lead single "Yet to Come" on loop, the group's devoted ARMY is analyzing "Run BTS" and "For Youth" as well.

Fans are losing their minds over "Run BTS" (not to be confused with their variety show of the same name) in particular, not only because it's an up-tempo, rock/hip-hop hybrid track they can dance to, but also because its lyrics — which are a mix of Korean and English — reflect on BTS's early days coming up as a group and running toward success, never losing their drive. Check out the English lyric translation of "Run BTS" (via Genius) ahead, and read on to learn more about the message behind the lyrics.

BTS members RM, J-Hope, Jungkook, and SUGA participated in the writing process for "Run BTS," which is why the message behind the song feels so personal and ties perfectly into the album's overall theme of reflecting over the group's nearly-decade-long career.

The song kicks off with SUGA and Jungkook singing, "Nonhyeon, 100m, our place / A call from the company after school (Yes, yes) / Ah, I'm coming right now / Please don't send me home," a clear call back to BTS's humble pre-debut days when they lived in a tiny dorm together in Nonhyeon-dong working long and hard hours preparing for their debut. The opening line also establishes the constant worries the members felt over their uncertain futures (obviously completely clueless to the fact they were about to become the biggest band in the world).

In the pre-chorus, Jungkook, Jimin, and V sing, "We from the bottom / I caught you bae, bae / We're a bit fast, We seven mate, mates / Look carefully, we got us." These lyrics seem to reflect how the members of BTS turned to one another as they experienced ups and downs climbing from the bottom of a saturated musical landscape toward success at breakneck speed. Despite what naysayers said ("Tell me what you wanna," they sing), the members were always there for one another, encouraging one another to push on.

Ultimately, "Run BTS"'s lyrical throughline centers on BTS's determination to never lose their spirit and avoid negativity (no matter how naive or foolish they may seem to outsiders) with lines like, "Not losing our spirit," "Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run," and "With the ignorant faith, just run, with your two legs."

After nine years, BTS has yet to lose the spirit they cultivated in that tiny dorm in Nonhyeon-dong, and as the lyrics of "Run BTS" say, they'll continue to run resiliently forward past any hurdles — like they're bulletproof.
