Red light is sexy and all, but if you dig deeper into it, it is essentially a story of one person being obsessed with the other side to the point where they are already choking, which explains the chain. A red light that tells us that the sign must stop before we are consumed with emotion. It also shows that relying too much on the other side can kill you. "I can't breathe if you're around." It talks about a person's struggle with himself. Here Hyunjin and Bang Chan play the role of each other's bad sides.
I take it as being "obsessed", an obsession and how it affects you...not necessarily being obsessed with someone but an obsession to something or a habit or whatever it may be.
Yes! I never really thought it was straightforward obsession to a person. But you saying that it's more the feeling of it/how it obsession looks makes a lot of sense.
The song is about Chan and Hyunjin's obsession with work. like even if they are suppose to be on a break, they still find themselves constantly pushing, doing more even if they don't need to.
The irony in the fact that it is about themselves being obsessed with work but the red string of fate in a superstition similar to soulmates and them being wrapped around their arms gets me every time simply because that is based on lovers being reunited and being together forever. As for my favorite song it has to be between Thunderous, God's Menu, Back Door, and Red Lights. I also like one of the songs that has their old member Woojin in it which is called 4419 Bang Chan wrote that song for one of his old friend's from another KPop group named BamBam.
6:30 "It was like this was a nightmare, in a sense, visually..." My favorite and personal interpretation of Red Lights & the MV is that of struggling with sleeping disorders like insomnia, stress dreams, and sleep paralysis. Bang Chan has talked about his insomnia before and he's also described in a vlive how he recently tried to go to sleep early around 10pm, but ended up having nightmares and actually falling into real sleep around 1am. He said that he would start to drift off and then start thinking about "scary stuff" (I'm rewatching the clip right now) and realized he was about to fall into a nightmare and would force himself back awake. Essentially, fighting against stress dreams/nightmares for literal hours before actually falling asleep. Then, in Hyunjin's case, he is a very deep sleeper and has talked about an experience in which he had sleep paralysis and saw a demon walk out of his closet and stand over him--kind of like how Chan stands over him on the bed in this video. Everything about this video feels like a stress dream/nightmare or sleep paralysis experience to me. The chains, the confinement, the haziness and the looming presence while you're trapped on your bed unable to move. The anxiety of it all. It's a bit "Bury A Friend" by Billie Eilish, but not as violent. Chan's also a workaholic and the lines, "No matter how hard I try to run away, set the mic up / until the moon falls asleep, even deeper" makes me think of him spending late night hours in his studio, working and recording guides and not sleeping.
That is what i love about skz lyrics. It opens to interpretation and its like a conversation. Personally I love their silent cry and the new song scars because it totally represent an important stage in my life.
How exactly did you describe my impressions of Red lights, thank you very much for your reaction! because I just have no words, only emotions - the refined, sensual Hyunjin and the brutal Ban Chan, it's incredibly hot, artistic, sexy. Excellent vocals and choreography 💣💥🔥👏👏👏
The literal translation of the korean title is compulsion and they made the song saying it's about obsession and fighting with the other side of you so they used the chains to portray the obsession and used the black and white outfits to show both sides of themselves and both of them represents each other's other side. It's actually a really deep song even tho they explained the meaning behind it but there are a lot of parts that require a lot of thinking and leaves the mind open for a lot of explanations I really love your reactions btw I'm binge watching all of your Stray Kids reaction right now again Hope you check the rest of the album too they actually tried different concepts and genres but all of them are still so good looking forward to your future reactions
Favorite SKZ song is so hard, it’s like I have a memory of of each song and at what point they impacted me, each one for different reasons. SKZis my últ Kpop group and it will always be all members are so unique in so many ways. Silent Cry has been one of my favorites lately.
If you want to know more about the process of making this song, you can watch "Howl in harmony". Chan and Hyunjin brainstorm about what to write and they have pretty interesting ideas and insights that, after watching the MV, you´ll understand better. On the other hand, I have a lot of favorite songs, but nobody almost never mention Chronosaurus and Maze of memories, and I love them!!! Boxer, Top and N/S are great too. I always wait for your reactions on Stray Kids, I like them a lot!!!
Thanks for reacting to Stray Kids!! This was my favorite song off the album before even seeing the mv. Also cheese is really good too. They really are amazing!
Knowing stray kids they’ve always made songs that makes people think and unfortunately most RUclipsrs that watch this first instead of the lyric video they tend to think it’s about a gay or kinky couple and I’m pretty sure it because they’re not familiar with their music. I’ve watched a bunch of reactions to this and the thing I like about this channel is they do their homework and ask about the meanings or at least keep an open mind when it comes to the double meanings in K-pop music. It’s not like American artist where you know for sure this song is about one thing and that thing only. I appreciate Stray kids music because you can interpret it in anyway and it’s highly relatable.
Thank you so much for reacting to the kids again. I really hope you guys can react to their entire album Noeasy. In my opinion is the Album of the year!!
for me it felt more like a vampiric realationship, but it is kind of love and hate realation between these two, i'm inlove with this song, the choreography is awsome
I said all that in the previous comment but what I really was meaning to get at is this song & MV is A.R.T. Thank you for acknowledging this masterpiece. Now I have to acknowledge it took a minute to get past the original shock because Bang Chan the back and the cake, and them thighs 😮😮 in my mind he became Back Bang after 150 watches....😂 it did take me a bit to watch without blushing but honestly when Bang Chan goes away and Christopher comes out to play this is what you get ❤💥💥
idk if you guys got the story but their both one they cant escape each other its like 2 sides of the their whole self if you get what i mean its amazing one of my favorites for sure i wish them make more of these contents it just compliments them more
For NoEasy, they boys broke into 3 subunits. The other two songs are very different. Surfing’ (Felix, Lee Know, and Changbin) is a fun, bubbly summer song. Gone Away (Suengmin, Han, and I.N) is a heartbreaking ballad with amazing vocals. Sooo hard to pick a favorite…probably N/S (I can’t remember if you’ve reacted to it. It’s a street version video). Side Effects and Easy are right up there.
Give some love to UK artist and React to jessy Nelson Ft Nicki Minaj - Boyz MV JESSY was in girl group Little Mix for 10 years and now gone solo. Just dropped her new song. ( also little mix - confetti and sweet melody, check them out)

NICE! thanks for the explanation. That always helps us out. and thanks for watching. Your the real mvp
@@HigherFaculty what is cooler is that the chain is the red light. (The first red we saw was the chain)
The fact that they kept placing the blame of who wrote the song on each other.
LMAO FRR
That always makes me laugh 😂
*Chan literally getting chocked* you: "nice beat" 💀😭😭
He said that's deep

Love the clap at the end. Yes, it’s so artistic both Chan and Hyunjin wrote it together. Yes, story threw it all. Love it.
This was actually my introduction to Stray Kids. Everything about it is a masterpiece. One of my top 5 Skz songs still. I watch it everyday, lol.

Stray Kids favorite song: Back Door. This song though is special because it's just Hyunjin and Chan together. They made a beautiful song!
