hi welcome
so in today we're gonna be talking about why TXT's "run away" is so
familiar and yes we are gonna do some BTS comparisons, so if that offends you
feel free to click out of this video because I tend to do very controversial
second to third gen comparisons and even third gen to third gen, there's
really there's, there's no boundaries and quite honestly TXT is the BLACKPINK to
my 2NE1, and I know that's controversial to say and I know groups have their own
images, but they are of course similarities no matter where you look
the world is a lie, everything is the same, and everything is different too
because philosophy - I don't know, I got a C in that class, don't ask. we're gonna
jump right into the similarities and then we're gonna talk about my theories
for the music video as well as the various symbolism that I can find, and
then lastly I will review the song but before we get into it, I'm gonna stop you
right there to remind you to subscribe to this channel and click that Bell to
be notified you can also do little things here and there like commenting,
sharing, liking and following me on Amino and watching my stories! let's start with
outfits, the first similarity that I can find is with BTS's DNA outfits, obviously
they're not the same but I think they're quite similar and I want to point out
that this guy's shirt says ''ÉTUDES'' on it which means ''studies'' which will tie in to
the theories that I will tell you guys later on, keep that in mind, and then at
the end of the music video, when we're at the pool scene, these outfits seem like a
more modern take on bts's debut outfits with ''no more dream with a little bit
less cringe but I mean you can't crap on 2013 kpop it was iconic but I'm willing
to admit there were some elements of cringe, let's move on to choreography
because you guys know that I'm very annoyingly observant, this whole dynamic
as well as this member moving off to the side like this is very similar to V
moving off to the side in DNA there's also the whole intertwining of arms that
I thought was quite similar and then there's this one move it's kind of a
stretch don't @ me, that reminds me of blood sweat and tears, you kind of
have these hands over your head or your eyes and then you emerge from underneath
and the last similarity that I found within choreography was actually with
twice and it's with this clock move we have twice's ''heart shaker'' and
gfriend's...what is is called... you guys are probably yelling at your screens like ''it's this song
Angelina'' I'm sorry, so those are actually the similarities that I could draw from
this and trust me I was looking because for a long time I was convinced that txt
was just like BTS #2 two just like for a little bit I was convinced that
blackpink was like a 2NE1-2.0 obviously I've changed my mind and I'm
making a video about that but I wanted to find similarities between txt and BTS
to kind of prove my point that you know companies do this companies always
recycle quote-unquote groups that worked for them and blackpink just get a lot
more hate for it because they are women in kpop, but more about in another video
okay let's get into the symbolism because I found so much I was even
surprised I felt very smart so please keep in mind
these are my own theories, these are my own interpretations of what I saw and it
doesn't mean that this is a txt was going for it, but let's get into that, I
also don't know any of their names I'm so sorry this is literally the first
time I've seen a txt music video this is all I know about txt, one of the members
had a parrot once, of course she would know that! so initially we see one of the
members drawing a straight line into the grass, this represents the mundane
confines of our lives and how we essentially create these lines for
ourselves and you can see there's a ball in his way and this represents fun and
you see him ponder for a split second like what should he do should he
continue the mundane activities of his life or should he stray outside of that
and have some fun but he quickly decides to kick the fun away quite literally and
continue drawing his line, this scene is actually really cute because you see him
drawing a line alongside someone else's line and it just kind of shows that you
don't have to walk through life alone and your line can intertwine with
someone else's and it doesn't have to be mundane, so then we also find some
symbolism within the drawings on the whiteboard and we see the dichotomies of
life we see the good and we see the bad we see things that make people fearful
like fires or aliens or I mean that could be good too, you also see the
good things in life like nature and friends and support
systems, then we see one of the members carving inside his notebook now this
hasn't really seen very well in school and I mean potentially your teacher
would reprimand you for this, my teachers let me do anything as long as I didn't
speak English, because God forbid you speak the enemy's language! but for me
this represents him concentrating so much of his energy on something that is
not worth his time, and consequently it troubles him which is represented by the
book Catching Fire, when he tries to put out the fire it doesn't work, meaning
that the way he feels simply can't be changed so easily and the fire
extinguisher is carried around with them despite the fact that they know it's
defective, which represents that we often carry unnecessary baggage with us even
though we know we shouldn't because it's a comfort to us it's a false comfort, we
also see a book that says ''put out the fire'' and to me, this book is not helpful
because it's not a self-help book it doesn't say ''how to put out a fire'' but
it's just an imperative sentence, so they already know that they need to put out
the fire, but they don't know how, so this book is just pretty much useless. but
it's showing how they're still concentrating on that fire even though
it's nowhere in sight, like how we dwell on things that are not necessary in that
moment, how we stress about the past and the future when really the present is
enough to drive anyone crazy. so then we get to the pool scene and they end up in
a mysterious alternate universe and though it seems cool and they're
exploring they're ultimately lost and they're trying to find their way out and
then they come face-to-face with a door and this very well could be, for all they
know, their only way out of this place and it catches fire, so what you could do
in a situation like that is just dwell on it and just sit there and wait
forever. instead of stressing about it, because we already know that these are
fires that they cannot put out, even after reading a book, even after using a
fire extinguisher, these are fires that are out of their control, they can choose
to adapt to the situation and move on. they can walk away and just find a
different way out and we see that the wound that he had on his finger at the
beginning is now gone because they've realized that they don't need to
be held back by the things that are out of their control, and that is freeing but
I don't know what the burnt bear means so, sue me! but we did see the bear when
the initial fire started in the book so you let me know what you think that
means in the comments down below! so those are all the symbolisms that I
could find now let's move on to my review of the song, I have to say I was
very apprehensive of giving txt a chance and it was a hundred percent because of
BTS, I knew that if I was gonna watch something of txt it was only because of
the BTS hype because big hit only had one other group I mean yes of course
they had glam and I mean we could bring them into this which we will because, hi
I'm an annoying second gen Stan, but admittedly BTS is big hits biggest k-pop
group so of course if I was gonna give txt a chance it was solely based on that
fact, and I didn't want to give them a chance based on that fact, if I was gonna
listen to txt you know I wanted it to be like more organic than that, so I woke up
this morning and I saw it on my recommended and I was like you know what
I'm gonna give them a chance and I did and I absolutely fell in love with this
song, head over heels, my 3 month free Spotify plan ended so I can't actually
download it to my Spotify playlist but I totally would! it was just that much of a
beautiful song watch every single one of my music video reviews right now go
through them there's a playlist and tell me when I've ever said that about a song
I'm so picky when it comes to songs and I fell in love with this song and that's
what compelled me to make this video because I was like ''damn this is a rare
occasion and I needed to share it with my best friends'' which are you guys so
the way they say like ''run away with me'' it just sounds like a very majestic
request, but the lyrics are just really beautiful and just very encouraging like
if your feelings sad, then take my hand so the lyrics kind of remind me a little
bit of Shinee's a-yo, that song -I'm gonna cry - that song got me through really hard
times when I was younger because the lyrics say ''if you're tired'' oh my god - 'if
you're tired of the feeling of being alone then follow me'' and the lyrics to
the song kind of give me that feel like ''run away with me if you're sad like run
away with me''
the sound of a song feels like a mix between UKiss's ''believe'' and Kara's
''Lupin'', ''believe'' just makes me feel like I can take on the world and Lupin actually
kind of songs in general make me feel like it brings me to a different
universe and it's just a really cool feeling and it's just a mixture of those
elements together like it has this ethereal feel to it like you would just
fake walk slowly down the street and smile at the night sky while listening
to this but then the DB DB DB DD DB DB DB part
I'm not accusing anyone if you're a third gen k-pops then and you haven't
like done your research on second done I need to show you them big sorry I had to
but anyways that's all I had to say thank you so much for watching don't
