    Your interpretation is so beautiful and spot on, there's nothing to add. I also always felt In his MVs, V seems to be most concerned with universal human emotions, and loneliness seems to be the most frequently recurring theme. He sees self-expression and artistic creation as a natural antidote to that. In Rainy Days, Slow Dancing, and in Winter Ahead, he creates worlds where deep and authentic human relationships exist, in which he can be himself and feels safe. I'm so fascinated by this side of his, I love the artistic integrity and authenticity that exudes from his music videos. I love that he chooses self-expression over the pursuit of success. I love his versatility and that he dares to take risks. I feel that in their journey of self-discovery, Taehyung and Namjoon have moved furthest away from the flashy and sometimes superficial world of K-Pop.

      Agree. RM and V are my choices of BTS members who courageously ventured into self-discovery, exposing their vulnerabilities in the process, pursuing their very personal quest for authenticity at the expense of commercial validation. 👏👏💜💜 In RYS Jeju Island, V asked RM to send him “Come back to me” so he can listen to it again, saying he aspires to be able to write songs like that. V was in awe, showing respect and admiration for RM. So genuine, humble, classy of V.🥲

      It is always sad when you find out that you were living in a fake world.
      But the twist at the end makes you confront the issue ( again you will get sad)
      He has found out that he is not even the creator of his world.
      In life you have to get sad to get happy.....or everything means nothing

    I'll just add something to the overall interpretation that you made. Red jacket V signifies his emotion, hidden desire and his wish to transform and be happy as well as the meaning of the red butterfly and the birthday also means beginning of new life . While black coat V symbolizes determination to transform or change something. Willingness to destroy any obstacles on its way though it means breaking at some point. It also means death of the old. In the end we'll see V wearing white shiny clothes. Behind him was a dawning day. He was looking back just for one last time. Ready to continue his journey but this time he is new, clean and sparkling.
    By facing his old self he's able to destroy a dark shadow which isolating him from getting FREEDOM and fulfillment of his happiness and desire. ❤❤

    The statues may be a metaphor for Taehyung's creation of songs that he ultimately doesn't release and deletes.

    in Greece we say "crying black tears" meaning "I am feeling extreme negative feelings or regrets", this is what I thought when I firsts saw the black V. I got chills every time.

    For those who don’t know Park Hyo Shin you should check out some of his songs. He has beautiful ballads. Probably his most famous is Wildflower based on a personal true story. (2016?)
    He said he always broke down singing it at concerts. So he finally did it with a piano player for a video. I know Jin sang it in a Run BTS episode.
    Obviously we are streaming for our guys but Park Hyo Shin is worth a listen at some point.

    Thank you connecting some of the dots for me!
    One thing I also think about is that the ivory statue represented the ideal and perfection in the myth of Pygmalion. It's even more striking when all the people in the party scene are in ivory. And then dark V comes in as the creator, almost as if creating all of these perfect pieces in-turn turned him into darkness and the opposite of an ivory statue.

    I think red V is the one who creates Galatea but dark V is the one who created red V. Your point about the struggle for control between creator and created is very interesting. I think it suggests that perhaps V longs for more control of his career and more freedom. There are references to previous songs perhaps… the dance on the stage and turn is reminiscent of a move from Singularity and also there is black blood in the mask in that song also. The butterfly could be connected to the BTS song. If you check the lyrics of that, it seems very pertinent to this song and video. I need to go and watch all Layover’s videos again! There’s more to this than meets the eye. Even V said this time, did we understand the message of the video. Fascinating!

  • @simi3766
    @simi3766 Месяц назад +5

    The concept of the song could also be related to the song Jamais Vu, which Taehyung referenced on Instagram. Finding one's own identity through accepting the shadow that is part of it.

    Thank you for your insight. I'm terrible about following complex story lines with a lot of symbolism so I really needed help understanding what was going on here. I did think it was interesting that both this video and the prior (Fri(END)s) start off with him and a woman and he ends up alone, with his doppelganger, and they both smile at each other. Too specific to be pure coincidence but not sure what it means.

  • @AwakeningWings

    This music video was like a film. It reminded me of a horror/thriller movie about a sculptor and his partner who he never wants to let go of.
    Then there's the Pygmalion story from the Greek myth. I mentioned that story a long time ago with BTS's concepts.
    It's cool to see Taehyung play the sculptor and the sculpture itself. The Taehyung in red isn't the real Tae because of that mark he had on his neck and I'm guessing that girl is also not real either.

    Видео закольцовано и начинается с шагов идущего тэ в черном, которого мы увидим позже только в конце. Его пришествие оборвет эпично развернувшуюся иллюзию, но шаги отзываются эхом и до конца еще далеко.
    Так как видео отсылает к мифу о Пигмалеоне, логично будет провести параллели. Пигмалион изначально несоциальная фигура, особенно в отношении женщин, среди которых он не может найти то, что считает идеалом, посвещая время лишь своей работе. Тэ в свою очередь живет в поместье где-то загородом в полном одиночестве, но в любви наоборот нуждается. Лирика песни не сильно богата на смысл, но мысль о поиске тепла она прекрасно передает.
    "Pygmalion’s intense focus on his art stemmed not merely from professional dedication, but from a deeper psychological need to create what he perceived as lacking in the world around him. His hands worked to shape not just beauty, but his own vision of perfection"
    Фраза "...to shape his own vision of perfection" особенно важна, потому что далее мы увидим, что он создал не только девушку и толпу, но и себя, свой собственный идеальный образ. В который в последствии вживается и становится делулу мягко говоря. В одном из аналитических видео сказано, что artist в изоляции ищет тепла и комфорта в собственном искусстве, в своих же творений, в той самой девушке, в своем идеальном образе, в множестве людей, которых он создает, чтобы разделить свою жизнь, по факту будучи в безлюдном поместье. Пигмалион одаривает свою статую украшениями и цветами, а Тэтэ в видео покупает ей мишку. Это мило, но именно в этот момент появляются первые красные блики и он видит красную бабочку.
    В 3:35 он сидит в театре и играет одновременно и роль зрителя и исполнителя. Но смотрит он оценивающе, сразу за этим следует кадр, где он предстает уже в роли (ракурсе) скульптуры, как Персона, которую ваяет Я. Осознание того, Я не соответствует Персоне, так же как нет и не было Галатеи и всех тех моментов вызывает первый срыв, и в 3:45 он ломает скульптуры.
    Далее череда кадров типа на улице рэйн, на душе пэйн и это доводит до отчаяния, поэтому он снова лепит скульптуры, чтобы воссоздать единственное, что приносит ему комфорт - эскапизм в его собственное творчество. Он буквально закрывается в своем сознании от неприятной холодной реальности, так как это единственный источник счастья. Он настолько вживается в созданный им же идеальный мир, что вытесняет реальность окончательно. С этого момента он в красном.
    Через несколько кадров веселого схождения с ума он задувает свечи как бы загадывая желание, но в темноте все резко меняется. Его изначально светлые скульптуры безумствуют, и он уже не контролирует ситуацию.
    Как только на него падает свет от фонаря, все исчезает. И здесь появляется отсылка к блэк сван - Тэ в черном. Если Тэтэ в красном - это личность, то Тэ в черном - это безсознательное, сочетающее питающий источник личности (по юнгу) и одновременно вытесняемое, страх в нашем случае (по фрейду). Когда пришел Тэ в черном пропали все "люди", создававшие иллюзию социума, вытесняющую страх одиночества. Он светит на Тэ в красном как бы отрезвляя его и заставляя увидеть реальность, но понять кто он сам удается не сразу, так как для Тэтэ в красном Тэ в черном это original creator, как безсознательное - источник для личности. Тэ в черном наблюдает, но сам не виден, он выходит лишь на моменте наивысшего подавления безсознательного, потому что чем больше подавление, чем сильнее срыв. Он отбирает приятную иллюзию, и дает понять, что Тэ в красном - сам творение, подписанное крестом, которым в начале он подписывал скульптуры. Галатея тут не та девушка, а Тэ в красном, а единственный автор - безсознательное. Других никогда не было, то счастье, которе он себе придумал, никогда не существовало. Понимание и признание этого мучительно, но в конце они смотрят друг на друга, возможно с сожалением, что пришлось пережить боль разрушения иллюзии, но Тэ в красном понимает и принимает это

    Hi, i am back. Great explanation, ty. Ur always on point. I noticed the butterfly and thought it was trapped. It could not get out stuck in a box. And Tae is also stuck in his own way. But i loved ur connection with the hints of red in the video. Good song. This is a sad song. Aww, Tae. Hugs tight. UwU Good vocals as usual. Good imagery and fits and makeup. But the hidden message, damn. He pulled a Yoongi! 0.0 I think the lady was army. Bday cake celebrating with different army in white. But they are the other sculpture's he made. He is very lonely. Aww. Innocence being represented. He was the fake the copy the sculpture. The real one was bleeding knocked out probably by the fake. sigh. The man's mind is a scary thing. So deep. U don't think of an MV like this to this song. The vocals are so old school, sigh. Taehyung and Park Hyo Shin’s voices blended well. Loved the harmonies. He misses the stage and army. Noticed call backs to BTS song Paradise. Winter ahead without the members and army maybe. Spending a bday alone. The Persona took over suppressed the real Tae. In this case knocked him over unconscious looks like. Gosh this one is so deep. Never heard of PARK HYO SHIN before. Liked his vocals. He and Tae sounded good together. U know i got Black Swan vibes on the 5th rewatch. Appreciate u tieing that loose end for me. Such a perfect waltz song. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

    Beautiful interpretation, but I took it a slightly different way... I thought the v that's the creation - I thought he was being woken up from a delusion... there's a delusional world-building that happens in "slow dancing" as well. I thought the original artist coming in the end was a kind of wake-up call... that while the delusion dances, the original artist is bleeding and in pain. We all do it to some extent, don't we? We escape into some world of our own choosing, and blind ourselves up the part of us that's been hurt in the past, so we never really heal from the past, we just escape. Then at times the delusion falls and you realise that the real you is still hurting in the shadow.
    The end, where they both smile at each other sadly was, I thought, heart-breaking because it's kind of an agreement to continue the delusion...
    Unless it's a coming to terms... then maybe the healing can begin.
    But the last scene doesn't give me hope of that, because he shines overly bright in a dark background.

    V didn't need to get rid of or destroy the dark V, when they smiled together at the end. They both "integrated" with each other. Blending both light and dark together. Hence the two voices (Park and V)

    its about v carving this magnificent world for himself. it's filmed in paris, this love life, of luxury, in a forein european country/city. all created, partying with all these people. but he woke up. and it turned into a nightmare as the past caught up to the present. he became dark, evil.
    fame trapped him, fame consumed him.
