Chase Me M/V 1:35
I had a recommendation to react to Dreamcatcher's so today I'll be uploading 2 videos on them. This video will be Chase Me while the other song will be Bon Voyage. They were technically 1 video but I didn't want to make it that long so I split them into 2. This is technically pt 1 of that reaction.
Have a good day!
Welcome to the Dreamworld! Dreamcatcher are very unique. They are the dark angels of Kpop and the only girl group who consistently incorporate Rock and Metal in their title tracks, fusing that with Kpop into something that basically is a new genre. They also are drenched in horror and social criticism, which again is special. Plus, they are massively talented, all of them. And while the girls look like they could rip out your spine when they are on stage, off stage they are adorable crackheads. 😉
"Chase me" was their debut, released on January 13th (a Friday), 2017. It must have been nerve-wrecking for the members, re-debuting with a genre that is not popular in Korea after Minx failed. (5 of them were Minx before.) But they already doubled their sales with this. And they stuck with the Rock/Metal vibe until today, now selling 50 times the albums than Minx did.
This is the start of the Nightmare arc, which spans 6 MVs and 1 Japanese release. They are Nightmares here, and the Nightmare hunter is trying to dispel them - how that turns out is shown in the next one, Good Night.
Remember the ending here for when you react to Good Night!
Dreamcatcher groups most of their videos in a series. Chase Me is part 1 if the 7 part Nightmare Series: Chase Me, Giid Night, Fly High (a prequel), You and I, What, Piri, Breaking Out.
Thanks for checking out Dreamcatcher and thanks for taking the time to read the lyrics and try to understand them.
Chase Me is the first part of the Nightmare series, of which there are 7 parts. This is the songs in order.
Chase Me
Good Night
Fly High - This is a prequel to Chase Me
You & I
What
Piri
Breaking Out - The final song in the Nightmare series.
My interpretation of the lyrics in Chase Me is that they're rebelling against the perceived ideal of what a Girl Group is supposed to be. They're pushing back against the societal standards that tell them they should behave, look, or act a certain way. They're also saying "Chase Me" because once you hear us you won't be able to let us go, but you'll never be able to catch us because we'll keep surprising you.
They have a lot of songs that fit under that umbrella of "staying true to oneself" even when you're facing opposition. That's something they're very familiar with since they faced a lot of industry criticism due to their sound and concept in the years after their release.
You won’t find another group like this in kpop :) They’ve literally been named the “face of rock” in the industry and were the first kpop group ever invited to Primavera Sound Festival! And yes, they’re going seven years strong-they actually had just renewed their contracts (a year early) a few months before Bon Voyage was released!
I like that you went back to read the lyrics because you picked up on something important, which is that the words are about the song and what it represents for their place in the kpop industry-they don’t want to follow trends; they’re going to do something bold and exciting and not be sorry for it. They’re not going to chase after anyone for approval, either-if you like them, you’ll be the one chasing them.
Dreamcatcher 🤩🤩🤩
Welcome to Dreamworld
I know I'm a bit late but here is it anyway...
A key piece of information: They're not ghosts. They are nightmares. Hence them singing about invading dreams and then escaping into another dream to get away. They are literally taunting him, daring him to chase them. They're just basically messing with his head throughout this whole video. Like when they pull the eyes out of the teddy bear, then his eyes are gone, then he wakes up and his eyes are still there.
This is part one (well, technically part two) of a whole backstory that unfolds throughout their first 6 releases called The Nightmare Series.
"Why do you try to put me in that frame" is directly related to the previous lyric about "What is a good kid?", as in "why are you trying to force me to be good when I'm not?" and later "This is the way I am".
dreamcatcher \:D/
you should separate the visual plot from the lyrics because it's not a direct correlation. the visual plot is part of a 6 part nightmare series. the lyrics convey the theme of the nightmare series - be yourself even if everyone else tells you otherwise. so in a sense, the nightmare is living a life where you aren't yourself but just what everyone else expects you to be. the nightmare series is a reflection of themselves because they are breaking away from the kpop mold and making the music they want even if it's not popular and rock is definitely not popular in korea. dreamcatcher is actually a second chance for 5 of the 7 members who originally did the stereotypical girl group kpop thing which didn't work out in part because they are from a small company with limited resources to promote themselves. with their second chance to 'catch' their 'dreams' as singers, they would make music their way so expect songs that are very different from what you typically hear in kpop.
