My apologies i was confused the hospital beds are in the mvs not the online concert
though the concert did show the mirrors feathers jimin under the covers
Someone was trapped under the covers
They are in a type of basement or something looking up each time
Reminds me of the sunken place in "Get out"
Same with the tvs jimin watches them like in "Get out" and then performs filter infront of multiple tvs
Simple explaination would be the him the fans and media want or portray but as your and shiningcarat post confirms it is about a you being handler, master and servant situation
And goes deeper than that and is about his personas the tv is like him watching it all play out on the tvs like watching a movie you cannot control the charavter you just sit back and watch as another persona is on the driving seat
And vs song singularity-meaning one,
Not split maybe the event that was when he was normal then he became split talking a sound of something breaking
Ice breaking each time mind shattering different persona takes driving seat his voice cant speak in the dream i shortly went into dissassociation maybe his alter did something he didnnt agree with and he blames himself for not doing something etc he does have alot of im sorry forgive me type of songs as though he is accountable
I still would really like to see it ! The part in the One concert. Do you know how I can find it, like in Youtube ?
I find Singularity quite hard to understand. And I'm really glad I'm able to understand the Korean directly, by the way, because I'm yet to find an accurate translation of this song. And using a translation with mistakes can lead to mistakes in the interpretation.
This is an attempt at a possible interpretation. It’s just a possible interpretation so nothing to be taken as a reference.
A sound of something breaking
I suddenly awake from sleep
A sound full of unfamiliarity
I try to cover my ears but I can't go back to sleep
The pain in my throat keeps hurting
I try to cover it, but
I don't have a voice
Ah, today I hear that sound again
It's ringing again, that sound
Another crack forms on this frozen lake
(As you know,) I threw myself into that lake
(As you know,) I buried my voice for you
So a dissociated V throws himself onto the frozen lake, causing a crack to form. The cracking sound wakes the real V up, who comes to consciousness again. The cracking sound was unfamiliar, so this was probably the first time that happened. V notices his throat hurts, and he's even unable to speak. Is it because he's no longer in control of his body ? Or is it because something actually happened to his voice?
Maybe the background of this whole thing is that, the real V had been undergoing some kind of torture in the real world (like some Mk Ultra thing), and had been screaming, so much so that his voice stopped working.
Or maybe, because of the pain from the torture, he dissociated and went to this other dimension, where he threw himself onto a frozen lake to "bury his voice", so it wouldn't be heard anymore. Which would be why when that realer V comes to, and finds himself in this lake, he can't use his voice (and his throat still hurts).
Or maybe, again, he is just still not in control of his body despite having come back to consciousness.
The frozen lake cracking is very reminiscent of the mirror shattering symbolism, which represents the different personalities/alters of the person. So one V falling into the lake, causing another personality to emerge, slash causing a crack, could be symbolic.
When he says "for you" : maybe for the person torturing him, so he can stop annoying the guy's ears with his screaming. Or maybe for that other V (the other him), so the other him can stop screaming and hurting his throat.
Over the winter lake I threw myself in
A thick ice has formed
In the dream I shortly went into too
My agonizing phantom pain is still the same
Maybe the frozen lake is actually in this dream he's talking about here. Or maybe it's yet another dream his dissociated mind went into. And the pain is still following him there.
Have I lost myself ?
Or have I gained myself ?
About this verse, literally every translation I've seen says "Or have I gained you", when I very clearly hear "
myself" when I listen to the song.
I suddenly run to the lake
Oh, there's my face in it
This is why I find this song confusing. Here for example, I can't tell which of the 2 V's we've seen so far is speaking. But one thing is sure, there is clearly more than one.
I beg you, don't say anything
I (try to) reach out my hand to cover the mouth
This could be the V that has just ran to the lake, asking the V in the lake to not speak. Maybe seeing this other him scares him, and he doesn't want to hear him because it would be too weird to handle for his already traumatized self. Or maybe he doesn't want him to speak because since they're actually using the same body, he would be using
his voice, and that would be weird. Or maybe he's scared that if this V says something, the guy torturing them outside the dissociation dream will hear.
In the end, someday, spring will come
The ice will melt and flow away
This would be the tortured V speaking. Trying to give himself hope as he endures the pain, to stay strong. So it would similar to "there is light at the end of the tunnel", or "April showers bring May flowers".
Tell me if my voice isn't real
Should I have not thrown myself away ?
Tell me if even this pain isn't real
What was I supposed to do back then ?
Maybe V doesn't even know what's real and what's not real anymore. Maybe he isn't even sure anymore if when he had been screaming earlier was real. Here he might still be talking to one of his alters whom he has met in the dissociation dimension. And is probably still there too, which would explain why he is so confused.
Anyway this is just an interpretation. I wish we could know what whoever wrote this song was really saying.
