Meaning of J-hope’s Arson lyrics
The world of Jack In The Box, J-hope utilizes each of his ten tracks to paint the contrast of an artist’s inner doubts, burning passion for one’s own art, and a relentless journey of growth through music.
In Arson, J-hope unapologetically confesses, Let’s burn/ To my passion, burn/ To my hopes, burn/ My life, burn/ Every day I ran/ Couldn’t stop/ Back then/ I burned it all/ And I wanted it all/ Fame came first/ Money? Of course/ Popularity too/ Couldn’t help but go into overdrive/ The motivation behind my thoughtless ambition.”
In the second verse, he raps, I shower in petrol, “To set a fire/ On my feet, on my legs/ Even hotter, run my way
Record sales are heating up/ I am a popular singer/ Up goes my born haters/ Horns ring every time/ But this is what I like/ ‘Cause with my fans/ With my label.”
“With my fellaz, We burn bright together.”
The lyrics of Arson can be interpreted as J-hope mirroring his experience of growing up as an artist where he constantly plays with the words burn and fire. While they burn bright as THE artists of the decade, their fire can also burn down the negativity that came from the fame of being on the top.
Speaking of the lyrics, a fan theorized, “I love how Hoseok used “arson” and “burning” and put different meanings to these words like, because they are superstars, they burn bright with their fans, burning the haters, and with this, he’I’m an arsonist. I love Arson.”
Another fan Additional, “Arson is such a masterpiece as there are so many ways to interpret fire and the meaning itself.”
