GD is a literal genius! His lyrics are so deep and the meaning behind everything, the sets representing different concepts and what he experienced DAMN his mind!! this is a diss track to the media and all his haters! GD THE KING IS BACK!!
Could you kindly explain the lyrics a little? I am not a fan, so I definitely don't get the references from the video (colors and all) except the shade on media. He for sure is very charismatic but the lyrics seemed like typical hip-hop bragging to me. I think I am missing something since you said the lyrics are deep. It would be nice if you could give some examples.
@ananyaa6664 the double meanings in the lyrics is a pure genius!! kmedia and everyone tried to drag him down so many times but none succeeded. the wordplays in the lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways because it also reference to a lot of things. here are some observations from X that i've also read about the lyrics: 1. Übermensch is a german word that describes a concept from philosophy that means a human that has outgrown himself or herself, that is no longer burdened by the sorrows of ordinary people. (like okay professor GD) 2. on the show YOO QUIZ, GD mentioned how him always being in the studio felt like he was on the TRUMAN SHOW. the POWER mv references this starting entering the studio GD has been confined in and ending with him freeing himself, just like the character in the movie 3. GD laughing at the end of his 4hr investigation (he laughed because they keep trying to accused him but because he got receipts and tested negative already a few times, it really was just a waste of time) then right after that investigation he donated millions to fight drug abuse 4. G-Dragon born on August 18, 1988, made a comeback after 88 months on the year of the dragon. This song was released at 18:00. Then if you noticed the metro map in the mv; there are 8 song titles written including power so i think the album will also have 8 songs in it. 5. in the newsroom table there is an eyeglass and it looks the same as the one he wore on the day of the investigation.
@@avocadoetarts Thank you very much. I did get the "Superman" reference which is the rough translation from the German. Seems like the details pertain mostly to the music video. Very interesting details indeed. Thanks once again!
@@ananyaa6664 if i could add onto the title "POWER" it's how he sees things these days, media could say one thing and everyone will be biting on the bait so he put some satire onto the meaning. Also, if you notice at the end of the video, the W on the word "POWER" has a Korean currency on it. Money = Power
credits to Tasty_playlist for the lyrics breakdown There are lots of Korean wordplay, so some lines of lyrics might feel awkward, These are some clues that you can understand the song more. 88: GD's birthday is 18.08.1988, So he puts his own meaning on the Number 8. That's why he wrote so many 8s in his lyrics. You can see the Metro map on 2:03, it's a track-list of his up coming album, there are 8 tracks. The last line of lyrics ("Fly high"): The original Korean lyrics' pronunciation is "Pal Pal Nara" (Means fly high). There is a wordplay as well, 'Pal' is 8, same pronunciation, and 'Pal Pal' is kind of onomatopoeia, 'Nara' is Flying, so this line was translated flying high in English. And that's why the ending scene shows 8 8 (Pal Pal) and GD jumps (Flying) (Nara) In addition, he came back in 88 months since his last comeback. The meaning the wordplay of the lyric "Spot to rest, a Global Luxury": The original Korean Lyric is this, 누울 자리 글로벌 명품 "Nu ul Jari, Global Myong pum (Glo / bal myong pum)" In here, Glo means text, lyrics, writings, everything about word or text. Global is global, the exact english word, but here's the thing, Bal myong pum is Invention. So he connected two Korean words to one English word (Glo + bal). And Myong pum is luxury, the words share same pronunciation, so these are some wordplay using pronunciation of Korean and English. This is crazy wordplay. in my opinion, GD likened home("Spot to rest") to every goal such as social status, honour, his position in the field, and he invented his goals, and it's also luxury. The main hook "I don't give a shh, Laughing end 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin": last year, GD was suddenly investigated for drug scandal. During the investigation, every single time he attended to police station, he said "I don't care because I never drugged." At the result, the truth is GD was innocent, at the photo-line in front of the police station, he laughed. After the scandal, he recognised that the risk of drugs in Korean society, He founded a foundation for drug eradication, he donated KRW ₩ 300 million (about USD $ 218,828). So this story is where the lyrics came from. Meaning of "Power Abuse questioned Tolerance Natural Disasters Unavoidable Circumstances" During the drug investigation, journalists raised him a suspicion of Power abuse for having Drugs, at the same time, Korean News channels delivered that rumour without fact-check. However after investigation, he was innocent, and he was possible to accuse those News channels, but he was tolerant to them, he announced he will not get a court. This is the story of "Power abused questioned Tolerance" (Natural translation is like "I was tolerant when I was questioned Power Abuse"). Natural Disasters (천재지변: Chun Jae Ji Byun) = (천재, 지병: Chun Jae,[Genius] Ji Byoung[Chronic illness]) same pronunciation wordplay. Genius always has Chronic illness, and it's unavoidable circumstances (irresistible force). Meaning of "Forcefully criticise Spread a meme Talk blah blah shout out": During the investigation of drug, some news channels, fake news RUclipsrs, and social media delivered GD's old interviews. In the interviews, he looked like he was addicted to drugs, because he speaks slowly, suddenly smiles, unnatural facial describing and his eyes. And these became memes and many publics criticised him. It was such a baseless criticism. People talked behind his back, but when after he finished the investigation, suddenly many people changed their attitudes, shout out him as usual like they haven't betrayed him at all. This story is where the lyrics came from. When GD says “개꿀” (gae-ggul), it doesn’t mean “super fun” or “good.” In Korean, “개꿀” is a slang term that suggests something is very easy or comfortable. So, when he says “애들이 나보고 개꿀이라더군,” he’s indicating that others perceive his life as very easy or effortless.” Übermensch is a german word that describes a concept from philosophy that means a human that has outgrown himself or herself, that is no longer burdened by the sorrows of ordinary people.
2:56 one thing about gd is that everything he does has pieces of himself. his individuality and uniqueness is literally unmatched- a master of branding in other words
The 88 at the end is 88 months that HE. HIM. MAKE US WAIT. FKING WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK. BUT DAMNNNN. WE STILL LIKE IT 😭. Also means the year he was born and dragon year like this year.
the thing for ppl who enter into kpop world 10 years ago and didn't get how big bang AND especially G-dragon impact the world not only in a sense of music but as a fashion icon for gd who was already in contact way before everyone with big stars like Tyler the creator or Missy Elliott and other big names like Karl Lagerfeld, or with verbal (m-flo rappeur) most of you know him if you watched Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift with the theme song made by the Teriyaki Boyz which include also nigo bape foundator and actual kenzo designer but also Yoon verbal's wife who created Ambush all this people was really popular already in 2010 era for what they were doing in the world of fashion and G-D was there with all these ppl later he created his own fashion brand called peaceminusone and very fast after that nike signe gd to make the air force one peaceminusone but also a real and unique shape the kwondo 1 i don't think you guys understand even travis scott don't have this opportunity to create his own shoes from scratch gd is a really big name in the industry 2012 they open the kpop gate to the world in 2012 and no i don't talk about psy gagnam style which also contribute but this guys was already invited to the mtv ema in 2012 and not only invited but they won a price but none of you guys know those ppl and the impact that they have in the industry of music, fashion brand and other artistic things also i want to mention that gd is highly respected for his unique way to modulate his voice go watch him talk normally on talk show and how he can modulate his voice big bang member was making fun of that because we don't understand what he really say sometime but he do that since his very very debut even before yg i mean i can talk about kwon ji yong during hours i discorvered kpop with big bang in 2009 with gd solo album heartbreaker and directly wanted more and discorver that gd was the leader of big bang
im so happy he his back and in one of the scenes theres like a bunch of names and numbers on it and it looked like could possibly be hinting at the album songs
All you need is his name "G-Dragon" and everyone gets the impact. GD is so unique and he's a lyrical genius who isn't afraid to call out the media and haters who think they had power over him. He's showing them that despite being gone for so long and being attacked by them constantly over the past 7 years, he's still got the power over the industry and they can't touch him with their slander and mindless hate. Plus there are so many references in this MV! Can't wait for the whole album to drop!!!
The symbol in his suit also you can see lots in the photobooth is Übermensch meaning astounding powers, can be called an Ubermensch. This German word, more accurately spelled Übermensch, literally means "overman" and was coined in 1883 by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The Ubermensch was meant to be an ideal future human and an ultimate goal for humanity
per genius website, this is a single and will be included in his upcoming album temp called GD2024* (has 8 tracks in total) 😊 88 months of waiting and he is finally coming back, this year of the dragon. GD, KWON JIYONG, king GD is back with more soon 🔥🔥🐉💕
I love how almost simple this song is , it just proves that a real legend is still called a legend even if he does the most simple thing ,it doesn't have to be the trend ,it doesn't have to be something that you spend millions on, it's the originality and how authentic you are yourself, and that's what i love about GD he never follow trends or try to hard to stay trend it's just natural, ge was born to be the GOAT, and i'm not saying this cuz i'm a fan but it's beautiful to see such simplicity and originality it reminds me of the old kpop when kpop was enjoyable not now everybody competing for number and mv's are full on dance and like a dance competition, i literally cried seeing that G-DRAGON is having a comeback ,he was and will always be the kpop king and a big part of my childhood and my whole life❤
I live for his weirdness and campy vibe. This video is so cool and just so GD. But then the song and the lyrics are just idk, not for me I guess. 🥲 I hope the rest of the album will be a lot better 😭 I respect him so much for signing with a Palestinian owned label tho. He is truly a king for doing that
I think you should wait for Korean RUclipsrs to explain the lyrics cause from what I’ve read there’s a crap ton of word play. the English captions don’t do his lyrics justice.
I actually speak korean and I did capture all the wordplay, just not a fan of it. And I know it probably wasn't his intention too but the use of that german word along with some of the imagery is quite concerning with the possible, uh, connotations but I dont even wanna go there now cuz I know it'll be brought up by others at some point too 😟
