J-Hope Released The Full Version Of "Blue Side" & The Lyrics Are Everything
Exactly three years after dropping his Hope World mixtape on March 1, 2018, J-Hope is giving fans a 2021 version of one of his album's best tracks: "Blue Side." The original song serves as the outro to his project, so it's only about a minute-and-a-half long. The new version, however, runs over three minutes and includes brand new lyrics. ARMYs, you have to see what BTS' J-Hope's "Blue Side" lyrics mean in English because they'll hit you hard.
Hope World marked J-Hope's first mixtape. Fans were looking forward to the release so much, they dubbed it "Hixtape," and helped the album debut at No. 63 on the Billboard 200, making J-Hope the highest-charting K-pop solo act at the time.
Along with the release of his mixtape, J-Hope surprised fans with his "Daydream" music video. The visual perfectly captured his project's aesthetic by incorporating bright colors to match J-Hope's equally bright personality. Just like how there's different sides to him, the songs on the album are just as complex. They sound upbeat and cheery, but the lyrics actually carry a deeper message of J-Hope's innermost thoughts and desires. With this in mind, "Blue Side" was the perfect track to end his mixtape because its slow, mesmerizing sound makes listeners feel like they're entering a dream.

Believe it or not, the 2021 version is even more beautiful. The track maintains the original's dreamy vibe, but it includes full verses expanding on its message. "Spring, summer, fall, winter, always the same feeling, blue/ I want to go back to the time when I didn't know anything, blue," J-Hope raps.
During a March 1, 2018, VLIVE, J-Hope explained the song is about his desire to go back in time when he was "young and clueless." Since everyone has felt that same feeling at one point, the new lyrics to "Blue Side" will hit you right in the feels.

Verse 1
Everything changed between us, I shout alone, blue
Pale blue tears well in my eyes because of you, blue
Spring, summer, fall, winter, always the same feeling, blue
I want to go back to the time when I didn't know anything, blue
Chorus
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side, blue sidе
Back to blue side, blue sidе
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Verse 2
The sun shined on the cold and the clouds wrapped around the blue
I ride the wind in the sky to the place in this moment, blue
It's now comforting my heart, blue
I'm alone below the blue moonlight, blue
Verse 3
When I spit out my pains in the dark
When the cold air was frozen by sighs
I felt it
That I wanted to walk the blue road
On the rainbow
I’m singing my blues
Singing my bloom
Back in my room
I miss these days, I was blue with light breaths
I measure the weight between calmness and passion
But now I just want to burn blue and die
Chorus
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side, blue side
Back to blue side, blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Bridge
I will carry you
In my blue dream
You might say no
But I'll hug you
In my eyes
In my blue dream
You might say I cannot
But I'll put you in my arms
Outro
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
Blue side
Back to blue side
