First of all, I need to calm myself down. I don't know that just now I had watched best MV ever for this year. I mean this one:
Say whaaaaat? Yes, our main vocal now having a solo album with title song: CAFFEINE. And the video above is the MV. How is your reaction? My reaction is........ what more can be better than this? I was kinda late to watch it, like 30 minutes after being released. And my twitter time line flooded by Beauty-s who were going crazy because of this artistic MV. Me too, widened my eyes and my mouth when watching it. God, this is just so beautiful in my eyes.
Actually I feel so dumb to write this review. Yeah, because I know most of you already have your own interpretations. But, I can't help to write it down what I get from this MV. To be honest I don't know how to start the first words (huaaaa TTTT).
I don't know what happen to me.... (Joker's line ughhh....)
So, all of us here know that this MV is about Yoseob who is betrayed by his girlfriend because she is dating Junhyung (OMG, I can't help but laugh, such lucky girl!). And the girl leaves him alone, and chooses to run to Junhyung. Or, vice versa --well after all in the end they decide to break up. There goes Yoseob alone in his room.
Well, this MV is actually telling us that Yoseob in his room remembering the past. The room is in dim light, he serves himself a cup (or cups) of coffee, and playing lamb figure (doll) with a forest full set (or whatever it is) in a table which there is the photo of him and a girl in a broken frame. While he touches the lamb, the memories of him with the girl appears in the scene. In the past, he supposed to write diary together with the girl, and now he reads the diary all alone. In the past, he supposed to cuddle with the girl while sharing kiss, but now he has been left alone. These scenes direct us to ask: what happen actually between the couple? Meanwhile in my mind: why out of nowhere there are lamb figures there? How can lamb and caffeine placed in the same plate?
Lamb is, you know, that animal, right? But it has another definition as a person who is as innocent as lamb, or the one who is victimized (ardictionary). On the other hand, caffeine is a nervous stimulant usually found in tea or coffee. While the song tells us about:
Cause you’re like caffeine, I can’t fall asleep all night
My heart keeps racing and again, I hate you
Like caffeine, I try to stay away
I try to forget about you but I can’t do it, I can’t help it
My heart keeps racing and again, I hate you
Like caffeine, I try to stay away
I try to forget about you but I can’t do it, I can’t help it
You’re bad to me, so bad to me, oh girl you’re like caffeine
You’re bad to me, so bad to me, oh girl you’re like caffeine
You’re bad to me, so bad to me, so bad to me, yeah
It means Yoseob is the innocent one who is being harmed by the girl. Since he is the victim, can you feel how hard being the one who needs to handle all pains together? You can't sleep, you still want her, you still remember her clearly, and your heart keeps racing nervously because of her. You want to forget her but you just can't do it that you can't help but hate her more and more. Just like caffeine, when you consume it once, you just can't stay away from it because you have already addicted. How bad caffeine for your body? It may lock you in a four walls of desperation. You can't help but feel so floaty that you don't even remember you are supposed-to-be-alive-creature. You just don't know where you are actually. Everything on your eyes are just the same.
The saddest thing is even you know how bad the caffeine is you keep consuming it til death, like what Yoseob does when he throws the cup, can you see how many cups already thrown by him? Look there are so many broken cups on the floor under the mirror. He keeps looking on his reflection but he still can't figure it out what actually happen to him and why it happen to him.
And when the skull (which means death and mortality) appears in the MV, it has strengthened the idea that Yoseob is none other than a walking dead man. He has already died inside and lost soul. When he decides to take the luggage from the girl, it has significance that he still wants to keep the things (which part of his old memories) with him, but as he slowly dies inside, those things are no longer worth. That's why there's the scene where he, the luggage and also the diary burned.
But, you can't lie to anyone that what is kept in your heart will always be there. Just like him who takes the silver box from the girl, unlock it, open it, take what is inside, and put it on where your heart supposed to be. Like a robot, you take the heart and keep it on your chest forever because everything that has been written there can't be erased easily, and we will always cherish it. You live but you are not alive.
You can't erase love, you can't avoid it although it's so bad to you, because what had happened in life is still something beautiful you can always cherish.
When I think about the times we were together, I smile
Maybe I don’t want to forget you
Yes, I don’t want to forget you
I want to cherish you
Indeed, what a beautiful song and artistic MV. I love it so much. Let's support our boys more, now and ever.
