English Translation:
I’m out of breath, the curtain comes down
My mind is cloudy, as I gasp for air
I wonder if I make any mistakes today
I wonder how the fans expressions were
But I’m still happy of who I’ve become
Someone that can make others scream for joy
I hold the lingering feelings
While I stand in the still hot, empty stage
While I stand in the still hot, empty stage
I fear the emptiness, I don’t know why
Inside, my feelings are complicated, to live in a life-or-death crisis
I pretend like I’m numb
This isn’t my first time, it’s about time I get used to it
I try to hide it but I can’t
As the empty stage gets cooler
I watch the seats get emptier
I’m comforting myself
I tell myself that there is no such thing as a perfect world
I’m slowly becoming emptier and emptier
This big round of applause can’t be mine forever
I shamelessly keep telling myself
Raise your voice, more loudly
Even if they tell you there is no everlasting fan, I’m going to keep singing
I want to be myself today forever
I want to be young forever AH!
Forever we are young
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever, we are young
Even if I fall down and get hurt
I keep running towards my dreams
Forever ever ever ever
(Dreams, Hopes, Forward, Forward)
Forever ever ever ever
We are young
Forever ever ever ever
(Dreams, Hopes, Forward, Forward)
Forever ever ever ever
We are young
Forever we are young
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever we are young
Even if I fall down and get hurt
I keep running towards my dreams
Forever we are young
Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals
I run, wandering through this maze
Forever we are young (Ooh~)
Even if I fall down and get hurt
I keep running towards my dreams




My opinion :
Personally, I love this kind of  genre and the fact that the singer is one of my favorite groups, make me think this is a very good song. But, even if this song was not sung by my favorite group, I still think it’s a very good song because of the beautiful meaning of it. This song teaches us about being selfless, to think about others before us. Even if we are on top of the world, we can’t be arrogant because the world isn’t perfect. It can change for the worst in just a blink of an eye. But even so, we can’t give up. We have to stand tall. Even when all the odds are against you, you have to keep moving forward. Cause everything is possible. 

The singer uses their life as an analogy for this song. From this song, they tell us about their struggle to live a life as an idol. Keeping their fan happy even they aren’t gonna be there for forever. Because they refuse to give. They want to be themselves forever. They want to be their young selves forever. Even when they fall down and hurt, then stand up again because they want to catch their dreams and hope forever.

’Young Forever’ have really opened up my eyes to never give up, to keep moving forward. Even when I’m at the bottom, I have to work harder and harder until I reach the top. When I’m at the top, I can’t be arrogant, because life isn’t perfect. I could fall down again. But even so, I have to live my life to the fullest. I have to be my younger self, who ambitious to reach my dream and grab it.
