Not me giving a pause warning to literally end up not even saying a word during the first watch through 😂 seventeen seriously just know how to bring out the emotions and they did such a great job with this 👏🏼
I love the lyrics and message of the song about fighting for your life and be yourself in your own way, and the ending when they all come together makes me tear up every single time when the music comes in and the chorus.
I especially cried at the end credit where it said that the song was inspired by everyone around the world. Seventeen basically telling us that they know and understand the pains and struggles other people go through as well. The way they spread positivity and inspiration is more than them being idols 🥲🥰
Woozi said he wrote this in the middle of the night, and it was very hard. He had to dig deep and face all the "demons" and negativity people worldwide are facing right now, and it became very emotional for him. The purpose is to express what I would say the majority of the world's population are thinking/feeling right now, especially in those countries where people are under surveillance (Seungkwan, a whistleblower, in the corporate world; DK with a camera in his lamp and drones outside his window; etc.), where everything wrong seems to be happening (Woozi doesn't even HAVE a driver's license and doesn't drive on purpose, so he probably would feel dumb trying to start a car and turning on the wipers instead), Mingyu having a camera fall on his car (just like the camera fell in The Truman Show...and yes, as others have commented below, there are SO MANY references to The Truman Show in this video it's unreal!) They're all trying to escape the "set", but keep getting blocked. Truman desperately wanted to go overseas, purchased tickets, but was too afraid of the water to go. Woozi has a ticket, but keeps getting blocked...just like Truman did. It's also significant that S.Coups finally walks over and turns off the lights on the set. That's when you see the ocean, with storm clouds forming in the background....just like the director of The Truman Show created to drown Truman once he finally beat his fear and got on a boat. TOO MANY references to the movie; and it's EXACTLY how people are feeling everywhere. Even The8 said he's felt this way many times, and his only salvation--which is everyone's--was to find himself, which he does through meditation. So overall I think the video is beautiful...Seventeen letting CARATs know THEY UNDERSTAND what they're feeling...especially those in China and other tightly controlled countries...and that the way to overcome is to return to and find yourself. Don't quit, don't let the numbness (apathy) set it, don't hide your feelings by just laughing it off, don't fear your past self embarrassing you now. FIND YOURSELF. FIGHT For Your Life (the billboards behind Jun read "Nothing Will Make You Happy", "Waves of Fear Coming To You" and "Avoid Challenges/Stay Safe"...the messages of the world and the ones we must ignore). And CARATs...Seventeen understands what you're going through and feeling, too! One more thing I found significant is that as Dino is looking up at the night sky, the Big Dipper constellation changes into the Southern Cross...
My dear...I cry every time I hear/watch it. Don't feel shame for those tears. They're beautiful. They mean you have humanity and a heart. So many are lacking BOTH these days. YOU'RE beautiful because of your heart! Allow the tears to flow! ❤
I had the same reaction seeing the MV .. it'z really inspired by everyone around the world we all had some hard times when we felt like we're the dumbest ever ! But we should all fight this f*** world

Don't ever need to apologize for allowing music and art to touch your soul.

Thank you Kailee for this reaction and the tears. I love the way we love SVT.
Can't wait for Full album reaction.

Thankyou for your reaction.
This song makes me so emotional, you're not alone, I was sobbing with you too. And it's okay to get emotional.
