“my bed is my coffin” & it’s him standing on coffin bc of military insomnia & members waiting in separate rooms (separated by enlistment) only to finally come back together at end under big dipper waiting for him so they’re whole again as 7 & that’s all it takes to be healed 😭
I think the world isn't giving BTS enough credits for their incredible storytelling through cinematographic music videos and hauntingly beautiful from their honest emotions, hearts on their sleeves, that even something that is fundamentally monotonous & painful, can be beautiful.
the big dipper constellation means so much to them that tattooing it wasn’t enough they had to end the mv with it too bcs they’re finally together again 😭😭😭 that’s my seven that’s my family

bts adding this is VERY important. merry go round emphasizes that while you may feel you are moving forward in life (growing up, achieving success) you are still anchored to the same heavy anxieties. the horse vertical movement mimics life’s temporary highs and lows but the horizontal trajectory never actually leaves the circle. growing up does not mean being free from anxiety and pressure. this is bts telling us that you are NOT alone when it comes to that kind of struggle.
and let’s not forget who literally mothered the entire thing!! if bulacan gets 2!3! as the surprise song, i need everyone to understand the level of full circle that would be 😩
namjoon, i know you don’t believe in the idea of someone saving someone else, but there was a time when BTS gave me a reason to wake up every single day. when getting through the day felt hard, you gave me a reason to keep going. i’ll spend a lifetime being grateful for that.
