Highly recommend looking at the song Equal Sign 🟰 from Jack in the Box. J Hope’s bag is deeper than even I thought, and it sounded just as good live a Lollapalooza.

The fire is his passion, and I think he was saying it got out of control, and when he thought about putting out the fire, he realized that the fire was too big to put out. but his decision, the fact that this music video, and his album was released, is him deciding to keep the fire burning, and at the end you can see that he has embraced the fire/his passion. If you want to see him embrace it even more. You should watch the Lollapalooza performance. Even Becky G showed up to perform Chicken Noodle Soup with him.🔥 I will link it in two parts with English subtitles added. It was an amazing performance. He headlined and Billboard reported that 100,000 people showed up to see him. You should see the ARMY bombs in the audience. It crazy, but that is ARMY. I watched it live streamed. It was an amazing concert. A 1 hour set.

I have similar thoughts but like I also think that he had the passion or fire cultivating inside of him for years but he had a persona that he often showed in public. Like in front of people he was J-Hope, bubbly and bright but he has mentioned that he tends to be quiet when he’s with his family and it’s worrying for them and the members are also afraid or cautious of dance leader J-Hope because he’s really stern and serious. V even said that J-Hope was in the top three members that was the scariest when he was angry. Not that I’m saying that anger is bad but that J-Hope has a side of himself that he doesn’t always show. When he said something like “I lit the flame” it’s like he’s ready show that side of him, I guess, and he started with Jack in the Box, which is kind of a sneak peek into a darker and edgier J-Hope. So when he said that “should I put it out of let it burn even brighter” he’s kind of asking if it’s alright to show more of that side. I mean, that’s what I think.

Hobipaloozaaaaaaaa!!!! He ripped it!!! He is soooo unique and talented. He's a well-rounded, perfect artist.

The lyrics remind me of a horoscope I read several weeks ago: "'We wish to make rage into a fire that cooks things rather than a fire of conflagration," writes author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. That's good advice for you right now. Your anger can serve you, but only if you use it to gain clarity - not if you allow it to control or immobilize you. So here's my counsel: Regard your wrath as a fertilizing fuel that helps deepen your understanding of what you're angry about - and shows you how to engage in constructive actions that will liberate you from what is making you angry." And Hobi killed it in Chicago last night!

Lmao I'm convinced

Hi! I'm new here - found you from the MIC DROP reaction and have been steadily making my way through the BTS backlog. So like, sorry I'm about to go off in your comments section? But this song has been sitting in my head all week, and some of what you said in your reaction really helped to crystalize some thoughts around it. Also I have to say I appreciate how honest you've been about learning to recognize BTS's faces, because that took me forever as well. So! Little things first: MORE and ARSON are bookend songs - MORE comes at the start of the album and is both backstory and sort of future projection, while ARSON is the last song on the album. As the album's supposed to tell a somewhat cohesive, self-reflecting story, ARSON then serves as both summation and sequel bait. It fascinates me that these are the tracks they decided to release, 'cause it's like teasing a book with the first chapter and then the last. Other commenters I've seen have mentioned that j-hope wrote a lot of this around the pandemic. That's key for this song, since it gets referenced. There are two signs at the beginning: the model home sign you often get in front of planned communities, but before that, there's an exit ramp sign that says DONE, lying on the freeway. So right before you get the "come live in our awesome happy community!" sign, you get the name of where that is - which is DONE. Also the happy homes sign catches on fire, too. The jumpsuit he's wearing looks like the same one from the MORE video. Bigger points (aka sorry! I had thoughts!) - What's been interesting to me in watching reactions to this is how many folks focus on the word BURN and not the word DONE, which are both super prominent in the opening. And I think the video has three distinct sections to it - white jumpsuit, smoky jumpsuit, and then the heart sequence at the end - to mirror the three sets of feelings j-hope has about the fires he's set, and each opens with a different use of those keywords. White jumpsuit bit, to me, is a summation of where he's been, and it starts out LET'S BURN - and then goes on to describe how he burned, through passion and dedication and "thoughtless ambition." It seems to me that he's kinda calling himself out on this pursuit of passion with no purpose and what that turned him into, someone who indulged that fire by metaphorically "showering in oil" to make it burn faster, brighter and hotter. But it was fine, 'cause he was with his guys, their label and fans were behind them - and they all burned bright together. Keep those fires burning, keep that side of yourself going - why wouldn't you? "One second ahead, fuck off." - Yeah, about that... And then there's the break, which both reminds us he did it to himself, and now he's got to figure out what the hell to do next. Smoky jumpsuit bit starts out with a rousing IT'S DONE, and he tells us what's done: he's succeeded, he's fulfilled those dreams and "thoughtless ambitions," he's played his part so...what's next? Well, getting out of the game at the top's always the smart idea - and then the world burned over and forced him to confront that his fire out of his "thoughtless ambition" had spread. How can he be DONE when he sees the fires he's set still remain even after the world went to shit? And that's the conflict between the two sections: he burned and burned and burned without thought to achieve what he's got, but now he has to face the consequences of setting fires, which is that they spread and even when put out, leave marks. I love the change in movement and flow in this section here, too; it both looks and sounds like he's panicking at the realization that things got out of his control, but to stay true to himself, he's gonna have to try to be a "fireman." And the thought of doing that in a way that pleases himself - not just his ambitions and dreams, because those are DONE, but himself - freaks him out. He knows how he's viewed - that's that large soot mark - and he knows he's taking serious risks, both personally (the hurdle) and professionally (the game that made him, essentially). And then the heart. j-hope's fire not only scorched the world around him, but it's scorched himself; however, his heart still beats, and while it may be covered in ash there's still fire around it. The push in is on BURN, with the break lyrics reminding us that the damage we see, he did to himself, but he still burns onb; the push out to him on fire is on DONE, and now he sings the break lyrics to us, again reminding us he set his own fires and it'll just be a "wait and see" what happens with those fires.. And then he collapses because hey, the album's now finished! Which is a helluva way to close out the final track of your personally experimental, rather introspective, somewhat narratively driven album. Not only is he telling us the album's done, but I also get the sense that it's a statement that this ARSON he just committed was a fire he chose to set, one he did for himself, and now we'll have to see if things go out or if he burns brighter because of it. It's got some layers. TL;DR He BURNED with his ambitions without a lot of thought, but he doesn't get to be DONE, 'cause his fire both survived and spread even after the world burned down. And to try to retake control of his own fire freaks him out, personally and professionally, because he knows the mark the previous fire left. But - it's always been his choice to set these fires - so maybe he'll go out, or maybe he'll burn brighter. I believe this is where I put "Thank you for coming to my TED talk" and stop typing, so. Thanks for being awesome!

Toney, I know you like breaking down lyrics and theories. I think you would like J-Hope’s entire album. It tells a whole story. And J-Hope asked everyone to listen to his album from beginning to end. There’s only 10 tracks including an intro and an interlude. If you decide to do this I suggest combining the intro and the second track, Pandora’s box, in one reaction.

Request any more songs of the album you say?? I request the whole album... 😊

Lmao you not the only one who said this

Jack in the Box is just 20min it's really a no skip album with a coherent storyline from top to bottom! it's all worth it and put out the lyrics ofc!

Hobi killed at Lollapalooza! My only gripe was that hour went too quick and on "What if" we missed the piano opening riff, wished he had extended so it could be recognized. On Twitter today saw no mention RZA beat, smh would've been 🔥

You gotta see his ARSON lollapalooza stage!
