Taemin is the definition of art, for me he's the most amazing dancer in the world of kpop and his songs are so beautiful made, I hope you can listen to more of his music.
Taemin is a true artist . Legit every music video and song of his are amazing. Some people like to exaggerate and say that their favourite artist hasn't made a bad song . But taemin is one of those going by official title tracks that this actually applies to.
As to the meaning of this song, I'll give you my opinion as a long-time Taemin fan. Taemin's MVs/songs are more that what they seem. There are stories layered within most of them and many include very personal revelations about Taemin himself. In short, this is not about a toxic relationship between a couple, but rather the continuation of Taemin's toxic struggle between the relationship of the two egos in his mind (indicated by the hand inside his shirt grabbing himself -- it's coming from inside himself): the demon tempting him with the perks of his celebrity life clashing with his Christian self desiring to adhere to his Christian worldview. Taemin LOVES what he does, but the temptations to go astray and embrace a worldly lifestyle are many. This is the cause of his guilt. The person clinging to the attendant's leg is Taemin himself. He's trying to cling to his faith-based identity. He digs his fingers into his own flesh to feel pain and bring himself back to, or hold onto, reality. This personal story concept, initially introduced in his 2016 MV for "Press Your Number", also runs through his 2018 Japanese song, "Under My Skin, as well as 2020's "Criminal" & "IDEA" (in fact the entire "Never Gonna Dance Again" Acts 1 & 2 albums of 2020), and 2021's "Advice". For this particular song/MV, Taemin indicated that he researched both "Demian" by Hermann Hesse and ""Erotism: Death and Sensuality" by the French philosopher, Georges Bataille. His concept is that of guilt and how humans process their guilt, especially with respect to dealing with toxic relationships. For Taemin, this toxic relationship is within himself and is displayed through the character he plays of Abraxas (wearing a headdress and representing the mythological gnostic demigod of a heretical sect, later referred to as a demon). However, Taemin also plays the character of himself being tormented by this internal demon who constantly plagues and entices him to embrace worldly desires. The entire song is a dialogue between Abraxas and Taemin. During the dialogue, Taemin is struggling (the choreo) to fight off being possessed and swallowed completely by Abraxas. We see even more of this struggle in the b-side performance video for "The Rizzness". IT'S WILD! I hope you will also react to that. In that PV, you clearly see the demon, "Abraxas" alone (as he's in Taemin's head) all in black and Taemin, with backup dancers, dressed in white (associated with innocence, righteousness, and goodness in religious symbolism while black represents death, evil and chaos). We see Taemin mentally walking through various "institutions" such as an abandoned school (which, as an introvert, he hated), or hospital/mental institution (brainwashing-Taemin was extremely sexualized by the industry as a very young idol specifically because he was so pretty and just 14 at debut), and/or training center (SM?), always reminding him of being controlled and in situations that produce temptations to go against his values. If he is not constantly vigilant, "....when you've caught on (Abraxas), I'm already gone (Taemin)." In other words, he will lose himself instantly because the temptations are so appealing and addictive (as illustrated in his MVs for "Want" & "Famous"). The "poison apple" is the bait, (again just like in 2019's "Want" & "Famous")..."want a bite?" "Just a little more, that's all it takes." "Gift you once as a bait, then I (Abraxas) take everything." The demon is the father of hundreds of lies. The pre-chorus and chorus are actually further dialogue between Taemin and Abraxas: [Pre-chorus] Ooh-ooh (On that vague border between good and bad - Taemin) You played the fool for me - Abraxas (My judgment in the final moment - Taemin) [Chorus -- all Abraxas] Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y - Trick and take everything from you Again, just playing a game all for fun Hundreds of lies Ooh yeah (Again, this also ties in with the lyrics and presentation of "The Rizzness" PV: ruclips.net/video/y1_Zks3Mdis/видео.html which narrows in and shines the light on the toxicity of social media and how it is used to destroy random people through rumors and lies. This practice is extremely prevalent in Asian countries - China and Korea especially, as well as our own country, especially politically.) Taemin is a genius when it comes to interweaving layers of meanings into his lyrics (which he often rewrites/tweaks from SM samples to make them fit his philosophical concepts) and leaving us mesmerized, trying to arrive at the deepest look into his psyche. This is why he is the ultimate artist for me. Yes, I love his dancing, but it's his lyrical and musical prowess that truly captivates me, while also gratifying my desire for deeper, meaningful Christian messaging that is usually lacking in actual Christian music.
I think it's more Catholic then Christian, cuz he isn't Christian. He's only mention Catholism in his Mv and lyrics. And it's not often, he usually uses it as a way to show good and evil(heaven and hell). Love ur analysis tho
Wow, you explained it really well! That's such an interesting concept, I didn't know I'd be reading your comment upto the very last full stop. Thank you!❤

Not only can Taemin sing, but he can rap and dance all at the same time...lol. In fact, he is known as the best dancer in Kpop by industry insiders as well as fans. Over his 16 year career with SHINee and as a soloist, he has become earned such nicknames as "King of Kpop", "The Dance King", "The ACE of SM", "The Korean MJ", and "The Idol of Idols", because so many 3rd, 4th, and now 5th gen idols look up to him and cite him as their inspiration for become idols themselves. Six years before NCT, five years before BTS, and four years before EXO became the latest and greatest groups, SHINee was dominating Kpop and laying the foundation for what Kpop would become in the future. In fact, as brother SM groups, SHINee mentored both NCT and EXO before those groups debuted. Both Taemin and SHINee are 2nd gen legends that debuted in 2008 (Taemin was just 14 at the time) and have done more than any other group to bring Kpop to what it is today primarily due to their innovation, experimentation, and insane live vocals and performances. Kpop was never the same once they hit the scene. This is why all new groups try to attain what became known as the "SHINee Standard": ruclips.net/video/IDrU5gp5DXc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/IDrU5gp5DXc/видео.html . They are all now soloists and can do it all. Taemin is a self-taught dancer who is a popping/locking/isolations monster: ruclips.net/video/Qo18L3_Kc0Y/видео.html He moves like flowing water and can absorb just about any discipline just by watching it. He will then absorb it into his own unique style. Although he couldn't sing at debut due to immature vocal cords, with the help of his stellar bros, Jonghyun and Onew, he quickly overcame that hurdle to become the first-ever SM soloist from an active male group at the age of 21. His presence and charisma as a first-time soloist onstage was undeniable: ruclips.net/video/aNNM4fh7ekA/видео.html Just like the rest of his SHINee brothers, Taemin's innovations knows no bounds. As far as I know, he's one of the first to perform one of his songs bound in straps: ruclips.net/video/GU22bs5cg5A/видео.html and tied at the wrists: ruclips.net/video/6y861TxOs44/видео.html He developed a custom lift-stage that, at first, could tilt to a 45-degree angle that he could perform on: ruclips.net/video/hFXFWTYd0F4/видео.html , a first for such a performance. Now that very stage has morphed into three sections that can lift independently and his latest endeavor was presented at his latest "Metamorph" concert where he actually had a lift-stage that rotates 180-degrees! He strapped in and performed one of his songs totally upside down -- it was a rap song too! The man just keeps dreaming up the most outrageous songs and ideas. This is what makes him so unique as an artist. Lastly, he is still the idol with the fastest choreo within SM (maybe all of Kpop): ruclips.net/video/SHeAy8s5C84/видео.html . It was performed at his first fan-meeting just 19 days after being released from service. You could tell he was eager to perform again after 2 years. The dance practice for this song is INSANE and even faster. Because of all of this creativity and innovation he brings to everything he does, we all wait breathlessly for every comeback because there's something new to thrill us and Kpop as a whole. Thank you for reacting to our SHINing baby Taemin! Please also check out SHINee and the other brothers' solo work: Onew, Jonghyun, Key, & Minho.
Taemin has talked about the literature that inspired this concept: Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille and Demian by Hermann Hesse. Love that Taemin decided to do things his own way with his own colors. I don't see anyone else doing this concept, or even the way in which he does it. Just stunning!

@BeechBoyzTV I really think you guys would enjoy his “ The Rizzness”, it’s a fire song, has a minor hip-hop, melodic rap, influence, and the dancing in the video is insane… Many idols idolize & love Taemin, their “MJ/ Usher/ Chris Brown “ as far as sinking, dancing, incorporating artistry…
