The last song I got into on ADTOE and my current favorite DT song. They performed it live when I saw them but I didn't care about it at the time, how do I wish I could go back in time... :facepalm:

They played it live at our show too. It was gorgeous. I don't think the lyrics are depressing, though. Melancholy, yes. To me it sounds like the way you feel after you've moved on and you've gotten over it. Fantastic melody, too.

I listened to it last night for the first time.  Worst album closer in DT history.  My disappointment with this album knows no bounds.

A truly beautiful song.  Made me cry the first time I heard it, and still chokes me up even after many, many listenings.

I often find songs with lyrics that mirror negative emotions that I am feeling have the effect of "cleansing the palate" and allowing me to unload those emotions.

When I'm angry, songs with angry lyrics often calm me.  When I am depressed songs with depressing lyrics often cheer me up.  So it is not too surprising that some people find happiness in a song like BTS.
Very true for me too.
