You never really know which way Dreamcatcher are gonna go, they don't really fit into any genre. Everything they do is unique. Doesn't hurt that they're incredibly talented and catchy either.
In case you are wondering, officially the song unravels a story of an obsession and longing for love. The capitalise BE in the title is used in context as the Hanja character 悲’ (‘BE’) as they sound alike and the word meaning sadness, and the title BEcause could be loosely translate as the cause of sadness, and paired with the line BEcause I like you or BEcause I love you, the sadness is caused by liking or loving someone. Also, the whole creepy toxic vibe is link to the choreography where there is a scene of someone choking another, and the lyrics about "forever mine, even your breath" and then "your face blue...like an ocean view" kind of reflect someone being strangled until the fact turns blue etc. Also, the MV plot theme has another layer that borrowed quite a bit of plot elements from the horror movie "Us" by Jordan Peele where doppelgangers who were forced to live underground depraved of the "finer" things and are trying to are trying to take over their "privileged" above ground counterparts...won't go into much details as it would be better if you watch the movie yourself if you haven't). There are a lot of details in the MV that point to this such as the movie "Us" which has scenes depicting a hall of mirror, someone being captured and replaced, the carnival; similarly the choreography also uses the movie themes such as the doppelgangers holding hand in a chain, the slight side to side head tilts, ending pose of the center member which two hand on her face, mirrored choreography etc.. There are also a few easter eggs for the doppelgangers concept such as the MV is 3:13 minute long (coincidence? I think not) , and that the opening scene and ending scene has the members in completely different outfits (with the ending outfit more whimsical), as well as the completely drain symmetrical hourglass at the end indicating that at some point, the doppelgangers replaced their original counterpart. More impressively, musicality, it plays into the theme of opposite doppelgangers where there is a two part chorus (whimsical and cute, and a more rock follow up) and two part bridge (soft vocals followed up by a deep spoken rap with atmospherically vocals behind) trying to show this mirror duality.
Well, well, well. Hi there! It is true, Odd Eye was the last official comeback before BEcause. Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves here once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's adlibs is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done. About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you". The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (or her doppelganger!). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.
dreamcatcher uses pop-culture references to help convey the theme of the song. it's just to give viewers a better perspective since they can maybe relate to some of the imagery. they are not trying to copy the movie us, but rather they are putting in enough references so viewers know evil doppelgangers might be involved somehow. there are also a lot of references to alice in wonderland which displays a lot of characters with split personalities. during the rap section there was also the iconic screech sound effect from the movie psycho. of course that was about a person with multiple personality disorder. with all this imagery in place in combination with the lyrics, you can conclude the song is not about a physical evil doppelganger, but a psychological one. the person behind the broken mirror is giving an apple to herself, either to tempt or poison depending on which references you are using. the start of the bridge which often gives the true intent of the song probably sums it the best 'you can reject me, my other voice..' so with all this in mind, one can interpret the song as a person's internal struggle between the good and evil side of themself. dreamcatcher also uses a lot of recurring images and themes through their discography. one central theme repeated over and over is to maintain your identity even if it isn't the easiest path in life. in this light, the song can be interpreted as not losing your identity through life's temptations. 'if you spend a day with me again, I'll give you something sweeter tomorrow.'
WOW ! As we always know, it's another best comeback of Dreamcatcher. The best song and album (BEcause, Whistle, Alldaylong) of the year 2021?! I think you must check their B sides. You must be shocked. 😉 Thanks.
Dont take things from strangers reaching thru a mirror...great life advice.🤣 You two will love all the Halloween stuff kpop loves doing. I hope they go overboard this year. Dreamcatcher came thru with this song, I'm liking it alot. As sean said, a more traditional kpop vibe. Great reaction.👍👍👍
I love DC but I became a fan of them early on in my kpop journey so we heard/saw all their videos before we started the channel.... As soon as they put out anything I haven't seen it will be on the channel for sure

Oh thank you for the info, I would have never caught the wordplay with BE.

This MV was inspired by the horror movie 'US', 2019.
The references to Us are incredible. 🤩
