Merry Go Round Lyrics – BTS (방탄소년단)
Merry Go Round BTS Lyrics (English Translation)
I Wish That I Could Tell You That It’s Over Over
I Wish That I Could Walk Away From Pain
My Life Is Like A Broken Roller Coaster
But Maybe I’m The Only One To Blame
I Can’t Get Off This Merry-Go-Round
It Spins Me Around Around, Around
I Do My Best, But I Can’t Slow Down
This Merry-Go-Round
And I, I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
I Try, This Happens Every Time
I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
I Feel Like An Adult,
But My Worries Remain The Same.
Every Day Is Just A Routine—
Like A Carousel Or A Hamster Wheel;
It’s All The Same.
Oh, A Question With No Answer,
A Race Through A Labyrinth.
Everyone Pretends To Be Okay,
Smiling—Everyone, Everyone, Everyone.
I Wish That I Could Tell You That It’s Over Over
I Wish That I Could Walk Away From Pain
My Life Is Like A Broken Roller Coaster
But Maybe I’m The Only One To Blame
I Can’t Get Off This Merry-Go-Round
It Spins Me Around Around, Around
I Do My Best, But I Can’t Slow Down
This Merry-Go-Round
And I, I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
I Try, This Happens Every Time
I Can’t Get Off Of This Ride
Spinnin’ Up, Down
Just ‘Round And ‘Round
I’m Fallin’ Apart
Still Bound To Ground
Trapped In This Endless Cycle,
My Inner Child Is Screaming Out
I’ve Ridden This Ride To My Heart’s Content,
So Please Take Me Out, Ma
My Bed Is My Coffin,
Maybe My World Is Just Massive Caffeine
I Go To Kill Myself Every Day—Can’t I Just Turn Off The Dream?
I’m Dancing A Dance I Can’t Stop
Over And Over, I’m Lost In Thought,
Trying To Tell Myself Not To Think.
Spinning ‘Round And ‘Round—Are You Happy?
Just Smile For Me, Right To The End

Merry Go Round BTS Song Lyrics (Korean)
I wish that I could tell you that it’s over (Over)
I wish that I could walk away from pain
My life is like a broken roller coaster
But maybe I’m the only one to blame
I can’t get off this merry-go-round
It spins me around (Around, around)
I do my best, but I can’t slow down
This merry-go-round
And I, I can’t get off of this ride
(I can’t get off of this ride)
I try, this happens every time
(I can’t get off of this ride)
어른이 된 것 같은 기분이지만
고민은 뭐 여전하지
매일 같은 일상 속 회전목마나
쳇바퀴나 매한가지 (매한가지)
Oh, 답이 없는 질문
미궁 속에서의 질주
다들 괜찮은 척하며
웃고 있지 모두 다, 다, 다, 다
I wish that I could tell you that it’s over (Over)
I wish that I could walk away from pain
My life is like a broken roller coaster
But maybe I’m the only one to blame
I can’t get off this merry-go-round
It spins me around (Around, around)
I do my best, but I can’t slow down
This merry-go-round

Spinnin’ up, down
Just ’round and ’round
I’m fallin’ apart
Still bound to ground (Woah)
멈출 수 없는 굴레 속
내 동심이 소리치잖아 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
나 원 없이 탈만큼 탔으니
Please take me out, ma
침대는 나의 관, my bed is my coffin
어쩜 내 세상은 거대한 caffeine
매일 널 죽으러 가, 꿈을 끌 순 없나?
멈출 수 없는 춤을 추고 있잖아
또 생각에, 생각에, 생각에 생각
생각하지 말잔 생각을 해 난
빙글 또 빙글 행복하니?
웃어줘 끝까지

Merry Go Round BTS Song Meaning 🎠💭:
This song describes feeling trapped in a repetitive and exhausting cycle of life. The “merry-go-round” and “roller coaster” represent the endless ups and downs of adulthood—stress, overthinking, daily routines, pain, and trying to keep moving even when you desperately want to stop.
The Korean verses deepen this idea: although the singer feels like an adult, their worries haven’t disappeared. Everyone seems to pretend they’re okay and smile, while secretly struggling with unanswered questions and their own thoughts. The singer wants to escape this never-ending cycle and reconnect with the innocent part of themselves that simply wants to enjoy life.
The lines about the bed being a coffin, the world being caffeine, and going to “die” every day express how emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed the singer feels—not necessarily literal death, but the feeling of being drained by the same routine every day.
In short: 👉 “I’m exhausted from being trapped in the endless cycle of life, stress, and overthinking. I keep trying to escape, but the ride never stops. Deep down, I just want someone to help me step off the merry-go-round and feel free again.”
