    The lyrics spring's always been here, I will sleep in her eyes reminds me of the lyrics to Change ft Wale. "I see grass growing in winter's eyes." In that song, it was about having hope in your perspective even though your current situation is cold/despairing/winter. So to me that lyric says 'spring/hope has always been here, i can finally rest in her perspective' some people think spring's always been here is joons way of convincing himself that nothing is wrong and he can stay in the familiarity without having to leave. and that the line you are my pain, divine, divine is about growth and finding yourself being painful and repetitive but ultimately important, right for you, and true. I like that interpretation too.

    This is amazing! It showed me a part I missed. I do also think that actually maybe he leaves right place wrong person for wrong place right person, because the maze we only see disconcerting half-rooms so something is still not quite right. a continuing loop of self-discovery and the call to come back to me

    This is my comment to the video before knowing anything concrete. "To me he is traveling with his other personalities. A cool/boss one, a kid/scared one, a happy go lucky/positive one, a logical/want to figure put things one and RM the one who made it in the spotlight. I think when he see things he can see from many perspectives of him same time. So he is getting lost on how he should juggle his perspective. Ofcourse I could be totally off but it's how I interpret this MV."

    You did a great job with the timeline but I think you made a small mistake regarding the werewolves. Sure, they are getting closer in 2002/03, but on Twitter, they posted on January 22nd about the boys setting off to another place. They left Greyville on September 3rd, 2000, which means that Khan meeting the others happend around some (maybe 1 or 2) months ago. And because TGC is taking place 20 years before Riverfield, the werewolves settled to Riverfield in 2020 before the vampire boys. This also explains why they lost their winning streak in nightball. ;)

    @Bookish Theories, The last sequence of numbers on the elevator which is12523222 This is what my theory is if you were to add up 1+2+5+2+3=13 The next sequence of numbers are triple 2s add them up is 2+2+2=6 answer is 6/13 which is the debut month and day and also the year 2013 but if you write it 6/13/13 BTS‘s debut date! Course this is just my mathematical theory I don’t know if that is correct but it seems logical !?😊💜 what do you think ARMY?

    Mrs Ma'am!!! You are a genius. I've always enjoyed your deep dives videos, you are actually such a big part of my process to become ARMY ^^ Namjoon is so cool honestly! it's moments like these that I find that the best part about being ARMY is growing up together with the boys and relating to their life journeys even though we live in different realities.

    this is a very good analysis of both the view point of a toxic lover seductress who is yanking their partner on a very dangerous tightrope on purpose, toying with how they can both help and ruin them. but i also love how you focus on how the song can also be an inner conflict between darker and lighter sides of Selugi. the idea of good, dark and balance is PERFECT

    Thank you! When I saw the reference to "nowhere" and "42" I laughed loud. Yes, that is the one aspect of looking at the world, one I can identify with a lot. Maybe I should explain for younger ppl: A hitchhikers guide through the galaxy is a book by Douglas Adams published in 1979. They have this gigantic computer which is supposed to elaborate on the sense of life. They wait and wait until the answer finally comes out. The answer is: 42. Another adorably idea is a computer who suffers from depression and threatens to pull his plug. We couldn't stop laughing because we had been so intense on changing the world for the better and then: 42.

    As always, amazing analysis! I have always felt that Namjoon, more than any other of the guys, has struggled to find his identity amongst all the public experiences they are having. Sometimes I feel like they were all overwhelmed, and I hope we as fans have not added to their pain. But Namjoon more than the others talks about being trapped in these endless circles of self examination without exit. I think he can take some comfort from the fact that nothing stays the same. It can be a sad fact, but also a good one. If he is going round and round in his self journey, he can remember that just living, experiencing, and aging changes our perspectives. One day, he will see it all differently, and maybe feel Better

    Your comment made me tear up! I cannot help but feel sad thinking we might also have contributed to his pain with our almost smothering love? Anyway, I hope he does take comfort in the idea that change and transience are truths that cannot be denied!

    I am not sure I would call it an "endless circle of self examination".This would be true for someone suffering from depression. Self examination is sth positive, desirable, ongoing. What I do understand is that he is trapped in his role, the expectation of the outside world (including fans, especially fans) and with this album he tries to get out of it (at least for those who are interested). He was so exited in one vlive when he said he was working on sth new. I hope the majority of fans will not just ignore it.

    @@siggispock5102 Your point is very much valid. However, let me just give my two cents: I feel it could also be interpreted as "an endless circle of self-examination" if it is seen as an emotion/pain/sadness felt at a particular moment in time because don't we all go through phases when we feel suffocated with no way out? Of course, if seen as an endless cycle for life, it can probably be interpreted as depression but I think he is expressing what he felt at a particular phase of his life, which won't remain forever, hopefully as the OP mentioned. Feel free to correct me. But that's what I felt!

    @@ananyaa6664 Thank you for explaining your thoughts. I agree, at the time they made the album he felt stuck, no exit, angry and frustrated, he didn't get any relief from "indigo" (too intellectual, too much distance to his subjects?) And it probably took a lot of courage for him to express this in his new songs, disregarding possible reaction of the fandom. Damn, how can somebody like him always be "positive"! Remember Festa 2022, where he still fought with himself over the idea of having to take responsibility for the wellbeing of their fans. To publish this album might actually be one of the biggest decisions in his life, giving him the freedom he needs as a person and an artist. Fuck the expectations, fuck the reactions! I see the hiphop RM who started all this, had to give up so much to be successful. Later he can go back to some of the things he needs to do in his position, it won't matter that much any more (like you said). Did you notice, in a way he does away with the damn Kpop rule "everything for the fans"? The ppl who helped him to come to this decision: well done! Thinking about all the things BTS had to do, all the boxes (i.e.FS) they had to click make me angry and yes, annoyed about the immature part of the fandom which demands all this from them. Ups, I get very emotional myself, lol.

    Oh... you had some insights I didn't see or get. Those colors on the face was something I was really wondering about and being each others support does usually mean that you need to balance each other out indeed. Furthermore, him not truly smiling during the second time in those different scenarios was something that was indeed also off for me and didn't completely been able to place. But now I got it, even if he was himself without dealing with any mental illness, he wouldn't still be happy as it's still not what he wanted. Thank you for the clarification! Anyone has any idea about those round small windows meaning? Only one door had three and another had four. What meaning does that have? That's probably the last thing that I didn't seem to get really. Oh and when the sound increases to become more complex over time is something I have been wondering about. Why that increndo? Is it that life has become more complex as he learned to understand more about himself?

In supernova too because all the members are bullying Giselle and in Armageddon they are talking about « which one is AI »… i’m so excited to see more.
