    I think this is such a good representation of many friend break-ups: one small thing seems to escalate and then you circle the drain mentally. You oscillate between blaming your friend and blaming yourself for messing everything up. Rina illustrated this by fighting physically with her ex-friend but most of us only do this mentally; we hate them and think "why'd they do this to me?" or hate ourselves and think "why did I do that to them?" The last scene shows that while we go over this constantly, we are only hurting ourselves more. We all are bad friends at times, but we suffer in silence because our friend who is part of us is now gone no matter how many times we overthink it.

    this video is phenomenal!! it really gives a whole new meaning to "bad friend". when talking about friendships, we usually focus on our relationships with other people. But we must remember that above all, we are our best friend. At times, that we can be a bad friend to ourselves. We may fall into the trap of self-destructive behaviour from another part of ourselves (that we may consider as a different person) to ourself. In a way, this song can represent finally making peace with yourself, acknowledging what you have done to yourself.
    This video (in my opinion) that we in fact are hurting ourselves and that at times we cannot bear with it first-hand that we project it onto someone or something else, which may or may not be real. (Almost like a type of escapism)
    This escapism is toxic. Depsite it being temporarily pleasant, it could easily become a heavy burden and ruin us.

    _in case anyone wanted the lyrics_ ✨
    [Verse 1]
    We ran through the bright Tokyo lights, nothing to lose
    Summer of 2012, burnt in my mind
    Hot, crazy, and drunk, five in a room
    Singing our hearts out to Carly, sweat in our eyes
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Throwing drinks at each other
    Making fun of our lovers
    Getting kicked out on the street, oh
    We were best friends forever, but the truth is
    [Chorus]
    I'm so good at crashing in
    Making sparks and shit, but then
    I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    So don't ask me where I've been
    Been avoiding everything
    'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    I'm a bad friend, yeah
    [Verse 2]
    Guess we fell out, what was that all about?
    Maybe I overreacted, well, maybe you shouldn't have...
    God, it's insane how things can change like that
    Don't even know where you are
    What you do and who you do it with
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Throwing drinks at each other
    Making fun of our lovers
    Getting kicked out on the street, oh
    We were best friends forever, but the truth is
    [Chorus]
    I'm so good at crashing in
    Making sparks and shit, but then
    I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    So don't ask me where I've been
    Been avoiding everything
    'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    [Bridge]
    Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
    Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
    (Oh, I'm a bad friend, oh yeah, oh yeah)
    Put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff
    (Should we put the bridges back together?)
    Maybe I'm a bad friend
    [Chorus]
    I'm so good at crashing in
    Making sparks and shit, but then
    I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    So don't ask me where I've been
    Been avoiding everything (Everything)
    'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend
    I'm so good at crashing in
    Making sparks and shit, but then
    I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend

  • @imrobols7442

    i'm not good w words but this is my interpretation! we see from the opening scene that you're gloomy and alone. then you pull out a ring and stare at it. i think rings symbolize commitment, promise or u know... FRIENDSHIP. here comes a guy that bumps you then you don't focus on the ring anymore. he tries to give you drinks and basically show u a good time but you were reluctant at first. eventually, you give in and you do appear to enjoy all the drinking and smoking. i think that represents certain circumstances will take our focus away from what we value. then the fight scene takes place! you're so frustrated that you beat the living shit out the man! in the end, you end up bleeding and he was nowhere to be found. maybe all this time, the man represented a side of you that you resented(?) or inner turmoil or maybe he represented the time taken away from you looking at the ring. (again, a ring that symbolizes a promise u made or a friendship u cherished) once u became self aware u went berserk. i see the fight scene as a retaliation of "this is not who i am or i never meant to be this way." my fave shot was a close up of you on top of the man, looking exhausted like you let everything out but then the next scene shows you are badly hurt. i think this represents that you were too hard on yourself for being a bad friend.
    that's my take! ily rina!! good job with the mv i fricking love it.💓💓💓
    edit: added more of my thoughts. thank you for those who liked my interpretation! love u fellow pixels. 💌

    We’re so good at beating ourselves up, aren’t we? Constantly imagining the best versions of ourselves, competing with this idealized image of perfection, this version of “us” that’s always happy or sociable or popular, and all that really does is set us back. The best person we can be is ourselves, purely and honestly. Sometimes that means that people in our lives will come and go. Sometimes that means we will go through pain. But being true to our own path will always lead to better things. We gotta trust the process.
